Betle(he)ms from Plemenšćina Outside Klenovnik as an Expression of Folk Piety

Mirela Hrovatin ; Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The paper presents data from field research of making traditional
wooden Christmas nativity scenes (betlehems or betlems) carried out
in Plemenšćina outside Klenovnik. Based on personal testimonies by
several local elders, the nativity scenes and the process of making them are being described from the viewpoint of folk piety and identification with the community. The personal experience and significance the locals place on nativity scenes, through an ethnological interpretation, show how tangible and intangible aspects of traditional heritage are completely intertwined and cannot be interpreted separately.
The paper also deals with the issue of carrying over the tradition to
younger generations.
