Tisno je mjesto na otoku Murteru spomenuto pod imenom Tishno prvi put u 16. stoljeću, a zasigurno naseljeno i ranije. Od najranije povijesti otok, kao i mjesto Tisno, gravitira prema Šibeniku u čijem se arhipelagu i nalazi. Tisno je dobilo ime po uskom tjesnacu koji dijeli dva dijela mjesta, otok i kopno. Upravo je zbog tog tjesnaca otok Murter nešto kasnije naseljen u odnosu na ostale otoke u okolici jer je do njega bilo lako doći s kopna U ovom radu sakupljen je dio tišnjanskog kulturnog blaga sačuvan zahvaljujući kazivačima koji su ga vrijedno prikupljali od svojih starih i zapisivali. Zapisi su dokaz duge tišnjanske povijesti i bogatih običaja u mnogočemu sličnih običajima susjednih mjesta. Nažalost, veliki broj običaja je nestao i zaboravljen je. Ipak, uvijek postoje ljudi koji ulažu trud u njihovo očuvanje i prenošenje na nove generacije shvaćajući koliko je to važno za očuvanje narodnog identiteta.

Tisno is a place on the island of Murter mentioned under the name Tishno for the first time in the 16th century, and certainly inhabited earlier. From the earliest history, the island, as well as the town of Tisno, gravitates towards Šibenik in whose archipelago it is located. Tisno is named after a narrow strait that divides two parts of the town, the island and the mainland. Because of that strait the island of Murter was inhabited later than other islands in the area because it was easy to reach from the mainland. In this paper, part of the cultural treasure of Tisno was preserved thanks to the tellers who collected it from their old and then wrote it. Records are proof of the long history of Tisno and rich customs that have many similarities to the customs of neighboring places. Unfortunately, a great number of customs have disappeared and are forgotten. Still, there are always people who strive to preserve them and transfer them to the next generation, realizing how important it is to preserve the national identity.
