Székely traditions – Part 1. The inspiration for this college diploma project towards a degree in the department of education, sociology, and Rom language at the Apor Catholic College in Hungary has been this student’s desire to explore her own Székely heritage. In this section of the paper we read about: Székelyföld’s location within Transylvania and Romania; Székelyföld as an ethnographic region; who the Székely people are (…Hungarian speaking Hungarians who are not willing to deny their Hungarianness…whose main lifestyles are traditional alpine animal husbandry, forestry, farming); and about traditional Székely celebrations of the fall season. To be continued. Includes bibliography, list of sources. By Simó Ilona 2024.
