RE: A monument to St. George./ Памятник святому Георгию #architecturalphotography
St. George is a saint-protector of two lovely small towns here in Croatia - Lovran & Pag & also celebrated by the Roma people (Gypsies).
In Croatian we call him Sv. Juraj & the celebration day is called Jurjevo but just only in few places in Croatia it's celebrated today. A huge bonfires characterize the celebration but this tradition is almost lost.
In Serbia they call him Св. Георгије or Св. Ђорђе, in Bulgaria Св. Георги but I don't know the traditions there...
The Gypsies are celebrating it this way:
Recently, as I was picking wild asparagus I saw a snake eating a bird which inspired me to write a song. It's in Croatian & some dialects mixed: https://www.facebook.com/notes/care-ass-art-photography/sv-juraj-zmaj-zmija-i-ljubav/2083766191650758/ - Maybe you'll understand something! ;)
Wow! Thank you very much for such an interesting story!
The dance is similar to the Russian round dance (horovod).
The snake brought you to interesting associations in your song.
Horovod = oro (mac.,bul.) = kolo (cro., ser.) - traditional Slavic dance 😉
Clearly. Uniting dance. :)
Da! Jedinstvo! ☺
