Summary/Abstract: This text brings together few areas of anthropological interest, namely fieldwork methodology as well as marginal and marginalized ethnic groups and minorities (Serbs in Romania). Its aim is to present the structures, dynamics and main impressions from field researches in the villages of Romanian Banat (Кraljevac, Čanad, Felnak, Sokolovac, Lugovet and Zlatica) as it was realized during 2018 and 2019 within the project Researching the history and culture of Serbs in Romania. Investigation was focused on the ways of celebrating Christmas, Patron Saint Day and weddings among Serbs in Romania villages. These traditional elements were chosen because of the identity function they have not only for the Serbs in the country of origin, but also for the Serbs in diaspora, and thus consequently for the Serbs in Romania, and they even today (self) define ever decreasing Serbian national minority in the multicultural surroundings.
