Abstract

In contemporary Belgrade the social idea of time has been changing in two ways. First, calendrical time no longer reflects Serbian Orthodox religious custom to a significant degree. The Church or Julian calendar has been gradually relegated over the past sixty years to a minor function of religious ritual; and Serbs, comprising over 80% of the population of the city (Bogavac 1974:665), generally calculate even the dates of many religious observances by the Gregorian calendar, civilly accepted in 1918 (Mišković 1966:106). Just as importantly, church holidays are no longer recognized by the postwar socialist government and are being gradually supplanted in their general observance by civil holidays (cf. Spangler 1979: Chapter Two).
