Macedonian oral tradition

Macedonian oral tradition is a rich cultural practice that includes storytelling, poetry, songs, and legends passed down verbally through generations. It preserves historical events, folk beliefs, and social values, often performed at gatherings or celebrations. These oral practices help maintain a collective identity, foster community bonds, and transmit cultural knowledge without written records. Through these stories and songs, the Macedonian people maintain a shared sense of history and cultural heritage, adapting over time while retaining core themes that reflect their history, struggles, and traditions.
