Legends and Folklore

Legends and folklore are traditional stories passed across generations that reflect a community's beliefs, values, and history. Legends are often semi-historical narratives about real people or events, blending fact and fiction, and they grow more colorful over time. Folklore encompasses myths, fairy tales, songs, and customs that explain natural phenomena, societal norms, or human experiences. Both serve to preserve cultural identity, teach morals, and entertain. While legends may have some basis in reality, folklore is primarily rooted in imagination and shared cultural tradition.
