The use of Palm Sunday bundles in the Slovene countryside Nena Židov <p>The article presents the use of Palm Sunday bundles in the Slovene countryside. Because of the belief in the magic power the bundles obtained when they were blessed and the conviction that they were capable of transferring this special power elsewhere, the bundles were used to protect homes, domestic animals, land, and crops. They were further used in many customs and to heal people and animals. After the second World War, the belief in the magic power of Palm Sunday bundles started to decline, but they acquired new functions in the late 20th century.</p> 0354-0316_19_zidov_uporaba.pdf |

Women in the traditional culture of the Bizeljsko and Kozjansko regions Aneta Svetieva The position of a woman in the Bizeljsko and Kozjansko regions in the first half of the 20th century depended on her position in the family and household, and this position was directly related to the virilocal residence, property and legal relations, and to the system of authority in the traditional village society. The clear divisions by sex and age in the family as well as in society were very significant in this sense. Women were under the massive pressure of social control. A girl`s or woman`s future also depended on the social and property differences. |
