ENThe article seeks to reveal how young people's attitude towards marriage divinations has changed over time in an area and how they function in the perspective of the ritual year. The conclusion was reached that marriage divinations are an inseparable part of the adolescent ritual year both in tradition and in contemporary culture. Marriage divinations passed down orally from generation to generation are valued to this day. Even today they retain a staggering diversity of forms, but the circle of festival days during which they are performed is becoming smaller. [From the publication]
