Summary/Abstract: The historical regions Chioar and Lăpuș are geographic areas where the Orthodox Church (but not only the Orthodox Church) has manifested the conservative “force” of the Romanian Christian spirituality. The feast of a church is a religious ceremony in which the patron saint is worshipped or in which an event reiterating a Christian religious episode is evoked. This celebration is a festive moment for the entire community, preserved especially in rural areas.The method and the tools of analysis belong to the statistical research and the Bravais-Pearson correlation analysis.
