‘We, too, have seen a great miracle’: Conversations and narratives on the supernatural among Hungarian-speaking Catholics in a Romanian village

Since 2002 I have been carrying out fieldwork in the village of Gyimesközéplok in Romania, on the border between Hungarian speaking Székelyföld and Moldova (mainly inhabited by Orthodox Romanians). Gyimesközéplok (Lunca de Jos in Romanian), one of the three villages of the Gyimes region, is located in Harghita county, Romania, among the mountains of the Eastern Carpathians. It has around 4,000 Roman Catholic inhabitants who live by animal husbandry and dairy farming.1
