Summary/Abstract: The paper will present and analyze the terminology of nutrition in ritual practice, which was and it is still in use among Serbs in the Danube Gorge (Romania). The terminological corpus will be drawn from the field records of the authors of the paper, which were recorded in 2017 in the villages of Divič, Stara Moldava and Belobreška. The terms presented in the paper will be considered within the general context of use. In that way, the significance they have in the ritual-customary practice of the Patron Saint among Serbs in this part of Romania will be shown. Along with the analysis of the field material, the relevant literature related to this area will be consulted. The aim of the paper would be to present the terminological lexicon and thus keep it from oblivion, as well as to show the useful meaning of these terms in the rituals. As a contribution to the work, several recipes of Saint Patron ritual nutrition, from the mentioned villages will be given in the form of transcripts.
