The "Krsna Slava" (Patron Saint Day) is a unique custom in the entire Christian world, specific only to Serbs, which is why in 2014 it was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The roots of Slava date back to the Christianization of Serbian tribes, when families chose Christian saints as protectors instead of pagan ancestors. This book reminds us that Slava sustained the Serbian people through centuries of bondage and migration, serving as an inextinguishable lamp of identity passed from father to son, regardless of life circumstances.
