Summary/Abstract: The paper is an analysis of the disputable lexeme of a religious nature (name of Church holiday) occurring in a relatively wide geographical area of the South-Central to Eastern Europe – in Romaniam and Slavic languages. The analysis is based on and supported by linguistic and extralinguistic arguments. After a comparative analysis the conclusion is reached that the lexeme has its origin in the southern Proto- Slavic macrodialect still from the pagan times.
