Fetar

Fetar is a traditional Slavic custom observed primarily in the Balkans, particularly in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The term "fetar" is derived from the Slavic word for "feast" or "banquet." The custom involves a large communal meal, often held on a Sunday, where families and friends gather to share food and drink. The meal typically includes a variety of dishes, such as roasted meats, stews, and bread, as well as desserts like baklava and fruit tarts.

The significance of fetar lies in its role as a social event that strengthens family and community bonds. It is a time for sharing stories, laughter, and joy, often accompanied by traditional music and dance. The custom has deep historical roots, dating back to pre-Christian times, and has been influenced by various cultures over the centuries. Today, fetar remains an important cultural tradition, celebrated with enthusiasm and pride by those who participate.
