Abstract

The article takes a phenomenological and comparative view of the figure of “Zeleni Jurij” as we know it in some parts of Slovenia and Croatia. Certain parallels to this part of our cultural heritage can be found in the wider European and non-European area, from the Middle East to India. These links are not only typological but often also genetic.
