Contexto cultural
The 'Sunday Lunch' (nedeľný obed) is the primary gathering time for the blízka rodina. It usually starts at 12:00 or 13:00 and lasts for hours. During the 'All Saints' Day' (Dušičky) on November 1st, the blízka rodina travels together to cemeteries to light candles for deceased relatives. In rural areas, 'blízka rodina' often helps with seasonal work like 'zabíjačka' (pig slaughter) or harvesting potatoes. Naming traditions: It is common in the 'blízka rodina' to name a son after his father or a daughter after her mother, though this is fading in cities.
