زفّة

هي في الأصل موكب احتفال بشخصٍ في إحدى المناسبات السّارّة، ضمن مسيرة غنائية تُقرَع فيها الطبول ويُنفَخ في المزامير، وأحيانًا تُرفَع فيها الأعلام. ويختلف التعاطي مع الزّفّة كلّ حسب البيئة والطائفة، وهنا تتنوّع فعاليات الزّفّات. وقد ارتبط الاسم بالموكب الخاصّ بالمعرِّس ليلة عرسه أو بالعروس وهي ذاهبة إلى بيت زوجها، وسط الهتافات الغنائيّة الجميلة.

Criteria Applicable to Nominate Element

01

Presence in Collective Memory and Intergenerational Cohesion: A cultural element is considered deeply rooted when it is held in the collective memory of the community and forms part of their daily experiences, occasions, and social relationships. It also contributes to strengthening the bonds of interaction between different generations, as it is transmitted from elders to younger members, providing a space for celebration and communal participation, thereby creating a sense of belonging and continuity.

02

Local Artistic or Technical Creativity: The element embodies creativity that originated from the local environment, whether in the materials used, methods of performance, or design patterns. This creativity may have developed collectively, reflecting how people interact with their surroundings and respond to their needs in an innovative way that expresses collective intelligence.
