This final thesis presents oral lyrical poems in the ethnological context of the Vrlika region. The author closely connects her thoughts with the rich history and wide Vrlika tradition, which abounds in various customs, and finds its foundations within the family and the parish community. Observing the inhabitants of Vrlika and its surroundings within one calendar year, the author presents all the most important holidays and customs that our great-grandparents inherited from their ancestors and continued to pass on to future generations. The whole story begins with the preparation for the feast of Christ's birth, so through Advent we come to Christmas, and then through the liturgical year and the multitude of saints we get to know Holy Week and Easter. The greatest zeal and the best curiosity is the testimony of three narrators who retold their life experiences from the first hand. The oral way of transmitting traditions and customs was primary because many people in Vrlika could not read or write, so today it gives us a vivid impression of everything that our ancestors experienced. Although it evokes memories and takes us back to the past, we cannot trust oral tradition with certainty. Parts can always fall into oblivion, just as parts can be added without making a tradition at all or fitting into customs. Getting to know the population, researching the history of Vrlika and objectively observing the story of the three narrators, the author chronologically presents all that is important for future generations to remember and continue to pass on to their children.
