TRADITIONS RELATED TO BIRTH IN DIOSIG

Summary/Abstract: There are plenty of traditions related to the birth in the cases of Calvinist communities in Western Romania. In Diosig, where the Calvinist roots are very solid in the case of the ethnic Hungarian community, these traditions belonged to the naturally developed folk culture of the community. In this paper, we present two major traditions, the way they used to be a three generations ago, and how they tranformed and gained their current form. The paper gives beyond the discussed items a general insight into the religious transformation of an ethnic Hungarian Calvinist Romania in North-Western Romania.
