SOME HINTS ABOUT THE ORTHODOX RELIGION OF CARASOVA INHABITANTS DURING THE MIDDLE AGES

Summary/Abstract: The paper departs from the finding that in some medieval documents Carasova inhabitants, who are currently Roman-Catholic, were often referred to as schismatic. As a result, i focus in this paper on the study of Carasova customs, aiming to identify characteristics that would confirm and reinforce the validity of the above-mentioned finding. The paper briefly presents and analyses certain rituals and ceremonies (or a part of these rituals and ceremonies) pertaining to the religious life, as well as habits associated with traditional occupations, which contain hints that can be used in a convincing argument about the belonging of Carasova inhabitants to the Orthodox denomination during the Middle Ages. At the same time, illustrating how the traces of the ancient Orthodoxy are reflected in the dialect spoken by Carasova inhabitants, the paper consolidates the thesis with the help of linguistic (lexical) evidence.
