The aim of the contribution compares the features and meanings of three selected festivities of shrovetide in different areas of Bohemia – two with a continous tradition and one which has been revitalised. What all these festivities have in common is they have an important place in the social life of contemporary local communities and refer to the past. The question is why do the local societies need to maintain or revitalise traditional cultural forms and what are the features which are preserved or picked up from the tradition to respond to some of contemporary needs.
