This study deals with constructing folk tradition by means of activities of local folklore ensembles whilst paying attention to continuous, interrupted and invented traditions. It also deals with terms folk and folklorism and interaction between them while focusing on the activity of a folk ensemble (= folklorism) which repertoire is based on folk origins, and its influence on preservation and development of local folklore. The research was conducted in two Ruthenian villages in the northeast Slovakia; in one of them operates a folklore ensemble. The starting point of the study is a hypothesis that a folklore ensemble helps to revitalize local traditions. From methodological point of view the study is based on field research. The main goal of the work is confirmation or disproval of the hypothesis using an example of a local tradition — wedding ceremony. Using detailed analysis, the study is looking for analogical and differential elements between the individual weddings in one locality while paying attention to the change of wedding in time (comparison of current weddings from the recordings with traditional Ruthenian wedding described in literature by folklorists) and comparing this ceremony in both localities. The study is also trying to determine to what extent is a group/absence of a group affecting the individual wedding ceremonies.
