Cultural goods inherited from ancestors are called cultural heritage. They are the treasures of humanity in their uniqueness and diversity. Cultural heritage can be tangible and intangible. Legends and traditions belong to intangible cultural heritage, which involves practices, ideas, sayings, skills, knowledge and other aspects of human activity. Legends and lore can come from oral and written traditions. Legends are a literary genre in which snippets of ancient and lesser-known events from the past are thematized and brought to life, with a large part of religious content. Legends are characterized by an element of the fantastic, and the main actors of the legend are saints or historical heroes whose sanctity or heroism is highlighted by fantastic and surreal content. Traditions are thematically very close to legends, but they do not have to be of a religious character and have an element of miracles. They are divided into historical, etiological and mythical or demonological. Legends and traditions are easily forgotten, therefore their preservation and protection is necessary in order to pass them on to future generations, which can be achieved by an adequate valorization. Valorization through interpretation, which has an entertaining and educational role, is a good way to bring legends and traditions closer not only to the local population, but also to wider audience.
