Bisenija (“Bibi”) Kisovec is easily my most avid reader. She also happens to be moja tašta.
Bibi is Serbian Orthodox. And, like every Serbian Orthodox family, hers has a patron saint.
Patron saints are said to have converted Serbians from paganism to Christianity in the late 9th century. And Slava is the celebration of this occasion, which each family marks on the birthday of its patron saint. It is also a way for families to honor a direct link with their ancestors since Slava is passed down from generation to generation.
The patron saint of the Kisovec family is St. Paraskeva. And today is their Slava.
So, Srecna Slava, Bibi!
