For several decades historical science in Western Europe has focused on the monarch´s ceremony and ritual, as their knowledge allows us to re-assess some moments connected with the nature of royal, or possibly imperial power. The most important ceremonies connected with the person of a ruler and his immediate environment are coronation ceremonies, which started to be researched, also in the Czech environment, in a novel way as a means of political communication. Thus, there is the ruler and his 'media strategy' on the one hand and on the other hand the public, which attempts to accept the image of their ruler. Less attention has until now been devoted to research dealing with Czech coronations in terms of geographical comparison in both the Central European and the wider European context, as well as the development of ceremonies in the course of time, especially towards the enlightened 18th century. However, in addition to coronations, other ceremonial moments such as 'transitional rituals' (baptisms, weddings, funerals),a division of the working day, festivities at the court or the arrangement of the ruler´s personal space, whose aim was to regulate access to him and participate in his representation have been researched.

The study deals with the recovery of the ritual plotting of Morena, which collapsed in our country in the mid-20th century. The introduction refers to this phenomenon as being an archaic element of culture, being recorded via the statements of the Church in its prohibitions directed against it, later via description made by scientists. In addition to the pre-Christian basis of this phenomenon the study points towards a possibility to be of Byzantine – Slavic contexts. Further the stimulating elements that helped revive the defunct phenomenon traditions are discussed. The conclusions deal with the state of society, the nature of the change of the current thinking in relation to each element of tradition. In conclusion, we point out new models of cultural and social lives within which archaic form of habits are perceived as more valuable.

This article constitutes a critical review of the knowledge and theories regarding ritual and ceremony which have emerged in the social sciences. The impetus for this undertaking is the conviction that the issue of ritual has been paid insufficient attention – particularly in sociology. The text opens with deliberation on the subject of defining ritual and ceremony. Subsequently, the theories of ritual which explain existing ceremonies by looking at the conditions under which these observances arose are examined. This article comprises also ponderings on the place of ritual in sociological theory.
