Traditions of Abkhazian weddings: a lecture on the "Ирӡтәым" project was held at ASU
The WAC Department for Youth Development and Physical Culture continues thematic lectures on Abkhazian culture, traditions and customs.
Another lecture was organized for students of the philological faculty of the Abkhazian State University. Ethnologist, candidate of historical sciences Eliso Sanguliia spoke about the main forms of Abkhazian marriage, the traditional rite of bringing the bride home, the essence of wedding and post-wedding ceremonies, and also conducted a comparative analysis of the past and present in observing national traditions.
Discussions devoted to holding traditional ritual events are very popular among the audience. It is worth noting that for the first time within the framework of the project, a lecture on the same topic is held twice. Previously, a discussion of wedding ritual topics was held for students of Pitsunda Secondary School No. 1.
The "Ирӡтәым" project has been implemented since 2022. It is aimed at strengthening the value system and expanding the knowledge of young people in the field of culture, history, and spiritual and moral life of the Abkhazians.
