Summary/Abstract: By researching three themes of traditional life among Serbs (Saint Patron, Christmas and Wedding), on the field of the Danube Gorge, in villages Belobreška, Divič and Stara Moldava, were collected data on past and present ways of celebration. In this paper, the ways of observing the Saint Patron (Saint) with traditional patterns, as well as their transformation in modern society, are presented, as well as the causes and consequences of these changes. There are a number of changes in the celebration and performing of the celebration, but they are nevertheless preserved its basic factors and its structure recognizable to the Serbian tradition. Special attention has been paid to Saint Patron as the identity element of the Serbs in Romania with the help of which the Serbian community is still recognized today and thanks to which it survives in a multicultural environment.
