FAŠENK V MARKOVCIH

V kroniki starih bukev cerkve Sv. Marka v Markovcih se lik Koranta pisno omenja že leta 1829. Povorko etnografskih likov v Markovcih imenujejo «Fašenk«. Kot se radi pohvalijo domačini, gre za prireditev, kjer se skupaj s Korantom pojavljajo tudi ostali etnološki pustni liki, ki izvirajo prav iz tega območja; to so orači, vile, rusa, medved, piceki in pokači ter ženitovanjski lik kopjaš, ki izstopa po svoji barvitosti in eleganci.

ETNO MUZEJ v mansardi stavbe Občine Markovci zraven obstoječe zbirke etnološke dediščine predstavlja lik koranta tudi na zanimiv interaktiven način, s čimer turistom ponuja doživljajsko izkušnjo tudi izven sezone 'fašenka'.

FAŠENK IN MARKOVCI

In the chronicle of the old beeches keeping in the church of St. Marko in Markovci Korant caracter was mentioned in writing as early as 1829. The procession of ethnographic characters in Markovci is called »Fašenk«. As the locals like to boast, it is an event where, together with the Korant, other ethnological carnival characters, who originate from this area, appear; these are ploughmen, fairies, »rusa«, bears, chickens and »pokači«, as well as the wedding character spearman, who stand out for its colorfulness and elegance.
