On the eve of the Lazarus Saturday, young people in Kikinda jump over Lazarice – ritual fires, in order to ‘purify’ and protect themselves from evil spirits. This is a cinematic testimony of the role and importance of the Gusle Academic Society for the Cultivation of Music in preserving and transmitting customs related to Easter.
