MARI TRADITIONAL WEDDING

The film shows a traditional Mari wedding. The Mari people have not lost their customs and many traditions have survived until the present day. Some wedding rites have their roots in paganism. Weddings were usually held on Fridays, because that was the day on which the Maris went to the sacred forest to pray. This day has been kept as a holy day until now and every new wedding begins on a Friday. The shootings of film were passed on 07.08 - 9.08 1998 in village Tygyde- Morko, Republic Mari El. The author of film thanks the young pair Mariya and Jury Grigorjev and the inhabitants of the village Tygyde- Morko. P.S. 2000 year special prize of the Jury of the 14th Parnu International Documentary and Anthropological Film Festival.

I love how a lot of Mari people still have those beautiful asiatic features and dark hair/skin of our ancestors, very beautiful wedding ceremonies and culture also

[@dmitriiigorevich3693]

Нашу культуру и обычаи Мари в Москве то не поймут..а где то за границей я думаю покажется дико!..но видео отличное!

[@viliamsinka34]

Do all Mari people have Russian names? Are there any original Mari first or family names? I think Mari people should abandon the Rusisna way of giving names to their children.

[@yoprstbukhalov]

@@viliamsinka34 у русских тоже не русские имена а греческие и латинские пришедшие от византийцев к русским по ходу крещения)

Oh, how I wish the scourge of liquor did not lay a finger on people. Beer is one thing, liquor brings it to another level.

[@dukenegju]

Thank you for uploading this! There must be a linkage to mediterrenean culture/cultures - actually more then with northern ones. What is their origin and how is their creation mythology? Love

Very nice 👌

[@tou87]

This tradition is very similar to the Hmong people. There has to be some sort of connection.

Судя по тех талону на лобовом стекле авто(ВАЗ), это 1999 год. Для какой аудиторий этот фильм создан на английском языке,- непонятно.

[@user-ki8rk2om3f]

Для людей желающих узнать культуру и традиции народов баран.

[@xacker585]

Не, это 1998, в конце дата есть в субтитрах

[@susterovic]

this what i would imagine much of eastern Europe to be 60 years ago, obviously not cities.

[@kazakhseven]

Wow!

[@thierrylaugier3245]

Some traditions of this wonderful people seems at the roots of Celtic culture. The music could pass in some "fest noz" of Brittany, and some people (especially women) look fully Breton, as if they were brothers and sisters...Long live to Paleo-European cultures.

[@covenawhite4855]

Celtic people follow an Indo-European religion and culture. True each Indo-European culture is different with Greek, Roman, Celtic, Scythian, and Slavic culture is very different from each other. There are over a 100 ethnic groups in India and India is a mixture of Indian and Dravidian people.

[@DGR233]

7:00 Thank God

[@DGR233]

Only bit of the documentary i didn't like. No need to add politics to this. Keep it simple and just film the wedding, nothing else.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

The word Pagan is racist. Anything other than the recognised is "Pagan".
But I see a religion with Gods and Spirits as valid, if not more so than ours.
"Pagan" has connotations of the primitive and evil. Which these people are definitely not.
