Tradition of our ancestors  Miss Šavora introduced us to some interesting mores  Here are some examples:  Did you know that braids mark that the girl is single and a bun that she is married  The night before the wedding, women and girls were gathered at the bride's home to make the wedding apple  As the family was richer, the apple was more bountiful

 The morning after the wedding girl comes to church with embroided shirt  A big role at the wedding had the rooster carrier  Our grandmothers wore details made ​​ of horsehair  After marrying the girl with dowry moves to her husband's house  The head of the house were the husbands parents  Soap was is home produced from the ashes

THE BEST PART  The best part was when we dressed folk dresses  Even 3 hours were not enough that look all around and try it, so we will definitely go back again  Miss Marija Šavora as ethnographer plays a big role in this project, and she will help us a lot in the future
