- Abstract
Fruitfulness and fertility symbolism is well known and widely spread in wedding traditions. The purpose of this contribution is to look at the wedding dramatic play from Međimurje "Baba Went Picking Mushrooms" in a completely new research context, namely the one in which the dramatic play has not been set before and use it as a document of an agraphic culture, a source and a path to the reconstruction of older religious systems from their debris. Specifically, to look at the traces of Proto-Slavic sacredness on the basis of which the wedding from Međimurje could be connected with the divine wedding as an ideal model for all weddings. The article raises another crucial question - can this representational form, apart from the song "Baba Went Picking Mushrooms", also reveal the represented old pre-Christian wedding tradition with the ritual wedding scenario which is a repetition of the sacred divine wedding?
