As the institution whose regular activities include research, safeguarding and presentation of cultural heritage, the National Museum in Kraljevo pays special attention to organization of educational lectures aimed at informing the broad public about customs and traditions. Especially important among these are lectures about the Slava as a very significant segment of the social life in both rural and urban communities that has been passed down through generations for centuries. We hope that our activities will contribute to inscription of the Slava on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and to preservation of this important segment of the national identity. c]/,rel Drag a Directo lipoj: 01-256 ,l(aHa: 15.03.2013 MHHMCTAPCTBC~ 5:\T~i]TYPE II i-in.:;;OPMliCAlhA HauHOHaJl:HH KG~~;:;rn·-r J2l !H!Ml:'TepHja.'iiE0 ~:y:'l-~7 pfw uac.:;::-~!}t~ ii:r;.;i:-:0.:;:.~~;.::.:.:' :. : i fiOU ~.::-;:: ilPE!(lv!F T.

Knowledge about the slava bread - the significance, role, preparation, the bread cutting ritual - is an important element in the maintenance of the Slava ritual, thus it is especially important to record, preserve and spread that knowledge. The Museum of Bread in Pecinci, founded in 1995 as a result of long-tenn researching and collecting, owns a significant collection (96 various types) and extensive documentation about ritual breads as well as assembly of paintings of artist Jeremija, within its rich assortment. Having this in mind, the Museum is an important institution in terms of acquiring specific knowledge about different types of the Slava ritual bread, its local specifics and various influences, as well as for spreading the knowledge about Slava as a custom. By organizing professional meetings, promotions, various art workshops, and especially working with pre-school and school-aged children, the Museum plays a big role in the transfer ofknowledge, as well as in enrichment of the tourist presentation of the intangible heritage. We hope that our activities will contribute to inscription of Slava on the UNESCO List of Intangible Heritage.

My family has been celebrating the Day of Saint Andrew the First-Called, the Patron Saint of the Royal House of Karadjordjevic, for over a century, passing it down from generation to generation and preserving the family traditions. Even under the harshest of circumstances, the celebration of the Slava has been a way not only to preserve the family identity and heritage, but also a sense of belonging to our ancestors' culture and traditions. We believe that, in addition to its personal, family and national importance, inscription of the S/ava, one of the most recognizable elements of our intangible cultural heritage, on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, would contribute to broader international visibility of the S/ava.

Since its establishment in 1903, the association Kola srpskih sestara (Circle of Serbian Sisters) has been particularly exerting efforts to preserve national identity, given the importance of tradition, especially when it comes to the younger generations. Through the organization of public lectures, dubbed "An Evening with the Circle", held in the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade, the Circle of Serbian Sisters has been devoted to preserving the great cultural ·heritage, as well as to communicating knowledge about the importance of tradition and to fostering custom diversity. In addition to teaching about the importance of Slava, as a unique Serbian custom, the Circle of Serbian Sisters contributes to the protection and preservation of Slava as a part of its regular humanitarian efforts by providing financial assistance for celebrating Slava, to families in need of such help. We are confident that the inscription of Slava on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage would greatly help individuals, especially young people, to understand the importance of their own tradition and identity and mutual understanding of different communities. We hope that our support and consent will help Slava, to be introduced to the broad international public, apart from its exceptional national importance.

Mll1nii1HKOBII1lif.( I Jovan Milinkovic Family members: Jovan, his wife Carna, his son Djordje Novi Sad March 12, 20 13 The Milinkovic family, originating from Gacko (Herzegovina), has celebrated the Slava (patron saint's day) according to old customs. In the 1930s, part of the family moved and settled in the Municipality ofTemerin, Vojvodina. They brought with them the awareness of fostering tradition pertaining to the preservation of the name of St. Stephen that to this day remained protector of the family. The Slava has been celebrated since the days of Milinko, the founder of our family from whose name our last name, Milinkovic, was derived. Knowledge of the Slava celebration is passed down through the generations from father to son. The Slava celebration has its spiritual significance. We believe that the patron saint celebrated by the family protects the family and the family home throughout the year. In addition to having the icon of St. Stephen located on a wall inside the house, once a year, on January 9, the family celebrates the day of the saint that is called the Proto martyr as having first suffered death because of the faith. On that day, the cake is offered to the saint to provide health to the entire family. Preparations for the Slava celebration commence several days beforehand. This means that a priest is asked to come to the house three or four days before the Slava and perform the service of blessing of water, cense house, and bless the family members. Holy water is kept until the eve of the Slava when it is used to prepare the Slava cake. The Slava cake has great spiritual significance. It is decorated with ornaments made from dough in the shape of grapes, birds, flowers and anything symbolizing faith, peace, health, love. The center of the cake's top surface is decorated with the cross-shaped seals, which are also made from dough. The seals bear ICXC, NIKA, a Greek abbreviation for "Jesus Christ Conquers." In addition to the cake, the Slava wheat ("koljivo") is prepared from boiled wheat, which also may or may not be decorated. On the day of the Slava, our family brings cake, wheat, wine and a candle to the church. Two candles, the smaller one embedded into the Slava wheat, and the bigger one, are brought to the church. The smaller candle is extracted from the wheat and left lit in the church. The bigger candle is brought back home along with the Slava cake and wheat. The priest performs the service of blessing the Slava cake, wheat, and the candle. Together with the priest, we all turn the cake and sing the hymn to the saint. After that, the priest and the host break the cake and kiss it three times. The family prays to St. Stephen to protect the family members and to give them health, peace, love, etc. We celebrate the Slava for one day, on January 9 each year. Family members, godparents and all dear friends come to our home. On that day, everyone is welcome to join us at our home. Our family has celebrated the Slava from the days of the aforementioned ancestor to the present day and has never stopped celebrating. Therefore, we believe that the entry of a Slava on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage is extremely important to continue this tradition. We believe that the celebration of the family patron saint is an example of how people manage to preserve their own traditions and inscription of the Slava would further encourage people to foster their traditions.

My ancestors, who came from Bosanski Petrovac, have always celebrated their Slava (patron saint's day). They celebrated the Slava until the Second World War and then they stopped. My father Jovo and my uncle Drago joined the partisans, while my grandfather Jovan died before World War II, so the family stopped celebrating the Slava. After the Second World War, my family was resettled in Celarevo in 1946. In 1962, when my father Jovo died, my grandmother Smiljana brought the tradition of celebrating the Slava back into the Kacar family. When in 1993 I married Novka, who came from the Sipovo region where each family celebrated the Slava, we renewed the tradition of celebrating the Slava. Since I grew up with my grandmother, she used to talk about how the Slava was celebrated in Bosanski Petrovac. And today we celebrate the Slava in the same fashion. The Kacar family consists of three members Novka, my wife, Jovo, my son, and me [Svetozar]. We celebrate modestly, and our only guest is our kum [Either best man of a godfather to a child]. We serve lenten foods, paying more attention to the ritual, with less emphasis on the feast. We celebrate St. Nicholas as protector of home and family. A week before the Slava the priest comes to our home to say a prayer and perform the service of blessing of water that is used to prepare the Slava cake. The day before the Slava my wife Novka bakes the Slava cake in a traditional way. She makes a sign of cross on the tope of the cake using a glass. She then prepares the Slava wheat (koliva) from boiled wheat sweetened with sugar. On the morning of the Slava, as a host, I light the vigil light located below the icon and at 9 o'clock I go to church bringing the cake, wheat and wine to be sanctified. In terms of food, two lenten pies are prepared, a potato pie and an apple pie. We also serve fried fish, according to the local custom we adopted here, in Vojvodina. The potato salad with onions comes as a side dish with fish. Before the kum arrives, we put on traditional costumes of our homeland. The kum arrives at half past three, bringing gifts, coffee, juice and biscuits. He is given the obligatory apple; in the past, he got a towel and socks, while today he gets a package with a range of the dishes cooked for the occasion. The ritual begins at four o'clock. The table is already set: the cake, wheat, wine, candles and the incense burner are laid on the table. Three candles are lit - a symbol of Serbianhood and Orthodoxy. It is a duty of the host to light the candles and incense burner, and cense everyone, candles, icon, and everything on the table. During this time, everyone stands beside the table. After that, they cross themselves three times. Then I also cense myself, make the sign of cross, and say the Lord's Prayer. After that, the kum reads from Slavarica, the collection of prayers, hymns and songs dedicated to saints, which is the tradition of our ancestors. Words "Vaislavu i cest" and the sign of cross follow each prayer. It is a blessing that mentions all ancestors, as well as a wish, expressed through song, that everyone in the family be blessed and prosperous. Then, my son and I turn the Slava cake from right to left, during which the kum sings "Holy Martyrs". After that, my son and I break the cake. My son gives half of his piece to his mother, while I give half of mine to the kum. Then we all have some koliva and a little wine. 1 This completes the ritual and candles may be put out. After that, we talk over lunch that lasts until eight o'clock. Then we see off the kum and give him an apple. Since the celebration of the Slava is important to many families in Serbia, we, the undersigned, support inscription of the Slava on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. We believe that it will greatly help to preserve this tradition, as it is particularly important to promote mutual understanding among people in areas such as Vojvodina inhabited by people of different nationalities.

The Slava (patron saint's day) has been passed down from father to son through three generations in our family already. It is a one-day event in our family. We prepare one Slava cake, candle, Slava wheat [koliva], and wine for the Slava. Koliva is brought to the church to be sanctified. The Slava cake is broken before lunch, when all guests arrive, including a man who participates in the Slava ritual (he prays while the host cuts and breaks the cake with the most important family members). The guest who breaks the cake gives it to the hostess who accepts it and holds it in a sieve while saying, Let a wheat leaf be broad as the neck of our oldest guest." The hostess gives gifts (usually apples) to both guest who prayed and the one who broke the cake. Guests then have some koliva and wine. The Slava cake is sliced and served during lunch. We have kept the custom of giving the "sprema" [gift] to each guests when they leave (cake and meat, or fish and cakes during the fasting periods). We suppmi inscription of the Slava, a characteristic of our, Serbian people, on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

(ca nopO,ll,HIJ,OM) Svetomir Dimitrijevic Kocino Selo Jagodina March 2, 2013 We celebrate St. Nicholas on December 19. I inherited the Slava (patron saint's day) from my father and my grandfather, and it has been celebrated since the days of yore. As far as I know, my grandfather's grandfather celebrated the Slava. We celebrate for one day. Earlier, when I was younger, my elders told me, it was celebrated in the evenings. The table is already set in the morning. The candle is lit before noon and the Slava cake cut with the closest members of the household, primarily with my son. The cake is cut crosswise into four pieces. A couple of drops of red wine is poured over each piece, and then poured back to the glass. We turn the Slava cake above the table and then my son and I break the cake in half. Then I kiss the cake on the bottom part and say while my son repeats after me: "In the Name of the Father- and of the Son- and ofthe Holy Spirit- Amen." The two halves of the cake are then shared with the others and broke into four parts. The person who gets the biggest slice will have the most successful year. Pieces are placed into the sieve. St. Nicholas Day is the winter Slava and the food served is always lenten. Dishes include fish, broad-bean jelly, thick bean soup, and lenten cookies. Guests include close family members, my closest, best friend with his family, and my wife's brother and his family. They do not all come at the same time as some of our guests visit other people celebrating the same Slava. Some come later, after work. The table is set again for each of them. The host serves the guests, and is assisted by family members. The host cannot sit down until the candle goes out. The Slava is celebrated late into the night. The Slava celebration is a very joyous occasion for our family and that is why we support inscription of the Slava on the on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, because then this good tradition of ours will be known throughout the world.
