Színfolt a magyar fesztiválkultúrában: gyümölcsünnepek és előzményeik
Fruit Festivals in Central Transylvania and Partium

Summary/Abstract: A few years ago the author undertook to do research on fruit festivals that came into existence in the area of Central Transylvania and the Partium, and he managed to identify and document 25 festive fruit holidays in total so far. In his study he presents the 19th century preliminaries and the cultural, economic and social contexts of the formation of these festivals. He wants to prove that in the case of fruit festivals one can speak of invented traditions. Consequently, the author wishes to give a general overview, a coherent image about the circumstances of that century in which,in his opinion, one can seek the roots of the formation of the fruit festivals researched by him.
