Changes in the Hungarian town of Mezőkövesd and Matyó folk costume from the 19th century to the present. Part 1. The author’s family connections to this town in northeastern Hungary’s Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County and the time she spent there throughout her life have inspired this study. ’Part One’ covers the following themes: general information about the Matyó people, Mátyó architecture and interior decoration, the Matyó folk costume in general, Matyó traditional costume at various times in a person’s life, the infant’s costume, small child’s costume, school childrens’ costume, adolescents’ costume. The Matyó people are Catholic and according to Györffy István’s research, their type of settlement format came from the Hungarian Plains region, rather than from the nearby Palóc region. By Murányi Márta Anna.
