Sicanje

title: Sicanje
text: Sicanje or bocanje was a widespread custom mostly among Roman Catholic bosnian teenage girls and boys of the central regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Dalmatia region of Croatia. The practice, which has been widespread among Albanians and also Vlach women, native populations of the western Balkans, predates the Slavic migration to the Balkans, and consequently Christianity itself, tracing back to Illyrian times, but scholars documented it in the early 20th century.
