Description: Short description: Blent, J. Peoples of Turkey. Twenty years of being among the Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks, Albanians, and Armenians of the daughter and wife of the consul. St. Petersburg: L.F. Panteleeva Publishing House, 1879, vol. 1. On tradition, rites, education, religion among the peoples living in Turkey. I found the ceremony of introducing a newlywed woman to her new home very amusing in Macedonia: as soon as she crossed the threshold, she was put around the neck of an arcan and her husband dragged her behind her, giving her a clear lesson of the animal obedience expected of her; as she crossed the first stone of the hearth, she was forced to hit her head against a wall, as a warning against the punishment she might expect in the event of bad behavior.
