Summary/Abstract: Apocryphal archaic folk prayers were until recently an unnoticed, undiscovered genre of folk literature, since they were neither noticed nor collected, and could not be thoroughly researched or analyzed. Since the second half of the 20th century, they have been known and recognized as an independent genre of oral folklore, and are the subject of research among Russians, Slovenians, Hungarians, Italians and other European nations. Their origins go back to the time when literacy was still insufficiently present among the masses, and when the pre-Easter liturgical mysteries had a dramatic form, i.e. when they were performed in the churches themselves. These prayers are the remains of those former dramatic works, which were preserved until the beginning of the 21st century. This is also confirmed by the collection of archaic prayers that the students of the Faculty of Teacher Education in Subotica collected throughout Vojvodina in 2008, when they studied dialectology.
