Abstract
We consider that traditions, being a system of certain ideas, unwritten laws, norms of behavior, a totality of conceptions that have crystallized historically, cannot be formed in a complete form spontaneously. Therefore, in the structure of tradition, three layers can be delimited: the idea (representation); the custom (a certain norm of behavior); the ritual (the symbolic embodiment of the custom).
