The research on annual customs undertaken during 2000-2004 has shown that the 2 nd half of the 20 th century witnessed massive changes in the content of celebration, implying therefore the changes in the customary practice. In the 1950’s and for a large part, 19060’s, customs and rituals performed belong to the inherited traditional ritual practice. After these two period, the changes appear more clearly, but not of the same intensity. Within holidays of a lesser importance, these changes are more profound: the ritual practice got easily and faster transformed, especially among so called church holidays. Among the holidays held by the people as having more importance, in spite of certain alterations, the kept ritual practice appears more solid and meaningful. The social changes in the period have influenced adaptations and alterations in celebrations, especially the process of modernization and industrialization, as well as fast urbanization of the rural areas. Furthermore, the alterations were influenced by the government prohibitions of certain holidays, atheism, secularization, and recently, a revitalization of the religion at the end of 1980’s and 1900’s.
