To the Study of Ritual Cloth

Summary/Abstract: When studying ritual clothes, the author deals with the traditional wedding costume. The comparative analysis enables her to find that clothes of tanned or unprocessed sheep skin are mandatory in the wedding clothes of the Georgians as well as of the Bulgarians and the Eastern Slavs. The analysis of this mandatory wedding attribute prompts the idea that this tradition is associated with the concepts of the deity - dying and resurrecting - and can be traced back to ancient times.
