Abstract

Research of the annual customs during Christmas time – from the beginning of Advent to Epiphany – conducted in villages in the near vicinity of Ogulin from 1988 to 2007 resulted in comprehensive ethnographic material which has not been researched up to now. In this article, based on the collected material, the author included descriptions of customs and tried to insert particularities of the social context and atmosphere in which Christmas customs were formed and conveyed. At the same time, she tried to point to the evident changes in certain customs that occurred due to economic and social changes and turbulent war years. Specific original or modified Epiphany customs have survived in the Ogulin area, both in practice and memory, and have been enriching its cultural identity.
