Abstract

This article aims to present advent customs in traditional culture of Makarsko primorje, those which have remained to this day as well as those which have unfortunately disappeared. Studying the Advent customs of the Makarsko primorje we will discover more about the lifestyle of the population of this area during the preparation and during the great feast of Christmas. These customs have largely passed from generation to generation and therefore have remained in the collective consciousness of the community. The article provides an overview of the available literature about Advent traditions of the folk culture of inhabitants of Makarsko primorje and review of relevant records published in parish gazettes. Field research, conducted in period from 10 March to 9 April 2018, during which we have collected and recorded statements of 12 informants (6 women and 6 men) gives this article an additional authenticity.
