Summary/Abstract: The Land of Lăpuş has preserved many customs based on archaic rituals. The ritual fraternity developed within the very close friendship between women / men was an ancient ritual. The church has Christianized the secular types of pre-Christian rituals such as fraternity rituals by giving up those that called for blood exchange and replacing them with others that used bread, salt and wine as cultic objects in the actual ritual. In Land of Lăpuș the modern forms of the brotherhood developed in the pre-Christian period were discovered.
