Slava Day
Throughout the year the family head takes great care to set aside time and make the necessary preparations to celebrate Krsna Slava. On the eve of Slava Day, it is the practise of community centres to invite their friends.
When guests arrive they are greeted with the words: God Help You, May you have a Happy Slava! “ Pomozi Bog, Srecna vam Slava!” care recipients, guests and community members derive much pleasure from the Saint’s Day.
Slava Day is a beautiful expression of the orthodox faith and one that is deep-seated in the Serbian spirit and is especially characteristic of its national being.
Other activities on the day will include Priest blessing of the breads and staff, Serbian music, dance groups and the provision of Serbian cuisine.
A 30 minute movie / DVD depicting Slava Day Celebration is available.
As well the movie is available to download from this site
