- Description:
- The oldest historical resources and records about “hody” (traditional feast organized on the occasion of dedication of a church to a patron saint) from the 19th and 20th centuries mention existence of parades and the special position of boys and men in the whole “Hody” festival. “stárci” (selected senior boys) played the principal role in the life of the youth in the villages of Uherskohradišťsko. They were the driving force of all cultural and social events in the village, the main organizers of “Hody”. They were elected by “chasa” (all senior youth) for one year and they acquired certain rights and duties. the election of “stárci” was a great ceremony and a matter of prestige for the male youth. “stárci” had special attributes out of which “právo” (a wooden stick decorated with flowers, ribbons and spangles) was the most important one. Until the mid-20th century, girls did not take part in the “Hody” parade at all. It was performed solely by boys and married men. one evening was reserved for the married men. As part of the entertainment, they also had priority to a solo dance. In this way, “stárci” showed respect of the community of unmarried youth to married men who helped them to prepare “Hody”. The role of “stárci” has decreased within the last one hundred years, nonetheless it is still dominant. The boys are still conscious of the importance of this function.
