Watercrossing of the Wedding Procession

The article deals with the rite of watercrossing, known mostly in the eastern parts of Slavonia, Vojvodina, partly in the Romanian territories, in the Vlah regions od northeastern Serbia and sporadically in southeastern Serbia and Bulgaria. The analysis of the elements of the rite indicates that we are dealing with a typologically analogous rite regionally limited to the northeastern parts of the South Slav territories. The result of the study points to the possible mutual permeation of different cultures, those of the settled Slav peoples and the autochtonous Romance speaking population of the Balkans.
