Inculturation and Slovenian Cultural History
The veneration of St. Hildegard von Stein, whose local Slovenian name is Sveta Liharda Kamenska , is a prime example of numerous successive processes of inculturation . On the one hand, elements of the Sicilian St. Agatha , who in turn inculturated the Greco-Roman deities Ceres and Demeter , on the other hand regional pagan Slavic spring cults and finally Christian-Catholic traditions. Its reception up to the present day is closely linked to Slovenian cultural history, as it necessarily required the role of mediator of the Slovene language spoken in the place and in the region, especially since the Jauntal was located in the Slovenian interior for centuries. The Slovenian Liharda song, which originates from the folk song tradition, has been handed down to this day. The Striezel has several autochthonous Slovenian names: Lihardini kržeji , Lihardini štruceji , Agatini kržeji .
The reception, as it was written down in Drobtinice za novo leto by the Slovenian bishop von Lavant Anton Martin Slomšek in 1855, is important for the perpetuation of the Slovenian tradition . In it he describes the holy Hildegard von Stein / Liharda as the "merciful mother of the Slovenes" or as a "Slovenian".
regional customs
