Summary/Abstract: The text summarizes several findings from ethnographic field research in the region of Poreče in northwest Macedonia (FYROM) in the years 2011–2014. Three presented annual festivities (Vodici, slava Petrovden, kukjna slava) are treated within the research of everyday culture in rural areas in the Balkans. Within the scope of folk religion the contribution deals with contemporary meanings of the festivities, their social function as manifestation of individual and group identity (individual religious identity, kin group maalo identity, identity of community of villagers and compatriots).
