Meet the Serbs on #Instagram: www.instagram.com/meet.the.serbs (Tag #MeetTheSerbs) Photo | Фото: @ebojsa SLAVA is an exclusively Serbian Orthodox tradition of c...elebrating one's family patron saint and is celebrated annually. This tradition is an important part of Serbian identity. Before the Christianization, the Serbs believed in many gods and each household had its patron god whom the family venerated. This custom later became part of Serbian Orthodox faith, when the Christian saints replaced the Slavic deities, and the ritual itself survived as a national custom of the Serbs. Slava is passed on from father to son, while women inherit the patron saint of their husbands upon leaving their families. In 2014, Serbian slava was inscribed in UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. --------------------------- Слава е искучиво српски православни обича славеа породичног свеца, кои се обележава сваке године. Ова обича е изузетно важно обележе српског идентитета. Пре примаа хришанске вере, Срби су веровали у више богова и свако домаинство е имало свог бога-заштитника кога су славили. Та обича е касние наставен и након примаа православне вере, када су хришански свеци заменили словенске богове, а сам ритуал е преживео као српски национални обича. Породични светац, т. слава преноси се са оца на сина, а жене након удае преузимау славу своих мужева. Године 2014, Слава е уписана у Унескову листу нематериалнe културне баштине човечанства.

Meet the Serbs on #Instagram: www.instagram.com/meet.the.serbs (Tag #MeetTheSerbs) Photo | Фото: @seoskecari Rakija, a traditional Serbian drink made of fruit. ...Serbian soul originates from the countryside, so only in the countryside the real Serbian rakija can be made. In the old days, almost every farmhouse in Serbia had its own cauldron for making rakija, and those days when rakija was being made were special. Both young and old people from the village would come to the host's house and, while the housewife would prepare food and serve the guests, they would sit with the host on stumps or tripods around the cauldron, eat slowly, drink rakija, recount various adventures and sing. Although today this custom dies out, because there are less and less people in the villages, what is preserved from the ancient times is the custom that without rakija there is no celebration. With rakija we celebrate the birth, going to the army or to war or getting married; with rakija we sing, rejoice and grieve. -------------------------- Ракиа, традиционално српско пие. Српска душа е потекла са села, па са тако на селу едино може направити права српска ракиа. У стара времена скоро свака сеоска куа имала е сво казан у ком се ракиа пекла, а ти дани кад се ракиа пече били су посебни. Тада се код домаина скупало и старо и младо. Домаица би спремала храну и служила госте, док би они са домаином, седеи на паиима или троношцима око казана, полако ели, пили ракиу, препричавали догодовштине и певали. Иако е данас тога све мае, ер е мае и уди у селима, оно што е остало од давнина есте обича да се уз ракиу слави раае, испраа у воску или рат, жени и удае, пева, радуе и тугуе. See more

in Serbia..... The Serbian air is filled with the smell of roasted peppers! That means ajvar production is underway! If you don't know what ajvar is, here's t...he definition from a cooking site: Ajvar is a Serbian roasted eggplant-sweet pepper mixture, sometimes referred to as vegetarian caviar. It can be mashed or left chunky, depending on personal taste, and served as a relish, vegetable or spread on country-style white bread like pogacha as an appetizer. Its smoky flavor is a great match for grilled or roasted meats. I will never forget the first time I tried some at my buddy's house in Zrenjanin around June of 2010. He told me that I was about to eat a red pepper spread so I braced for a hot, yucky taste of red pepper ( not a big fan). Once I dropped a bit on my tongue, it was actually very sweet and nothing like I expected. I declined to take a larger helping of it as it was new and strange. Fast forward to 2020: ajvar is my single favorite condiment on the planet! I've had Serbs from all over Serbia send me their delicious family recipe with each one tasting surprisingly different based on the region, peppers, and ingredients! I can go through a jar a day eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are planning a trip to Serbia or any other Balkan country, make sure you try some homemade ajvar. You can thank me later!

Growing plum trees in #Serbia is a tradition. Depending on the region, there are several varieties of the plant: the Požega Plum, the Italian Prune Plum, the a...ak Early Plum, the aak Beauty, the aak Best, the Stanley Plum, the California Blue. Then there are those cultivated in Serbia in particular: the Red Early, the Bulgarian, the Thorny Plum (trnovaa), the Morava, the wild yellow and blue cherry plums (džanarika, piskavac), the Petrovka, the aromatic one (Mirisavka) Limewashing the fruit trees protects them against insects, thus the plum orchards acquire a particularly pleasant look. One can hardly imagine a Serbian countryside without the plum orchards. They are cultivated mostly in the Šumadija region, areas around Valjevo, aak, etc. Today Serbia produces less than it used to, but still half of all the fruit trees in Serbia are plum trees.

Did you Know ? Serbia was among the first countries that banned slavery.

Meet the Serbs on #Instagram: www.instagram.com/meet.the.serbs (Tag #MeetTheSerbs) Photo | Фото: @milana.toca Until the middle of the 20th century, the basic fo...otwear for the majority of Serbs were opanci, Serbian shallow peasant shoes made of leather. They were initially worn in special occasions, but later, giving way to modern factory made footwear, they became mostly working footwear. Depending on the type of leather used and the manufacturing style, there were several types of opanak. Further, the most prominent and recognizable part of an opanak is its front peak (beak) and types of opanak differ also in terms of shape, size and the way in which the beak is folded. Opanci usually got their names after the areas in which they were manufactured or after some of their characteristics, so in Serbia there are šabaki, valjevski, užiki, šumadijski, kosmajski, kolubarski and moravski opanak, but also noske (snouts), mrki (brown ones), kilaši (kilo ones), etc. --------------------- Основна обуа веине становника у селима Србие до прве половине 20. века били су опанци, плитка обуа од коже. Првобитно су служили за свечане прилике, да би касние, са поавом савремене обуе, постали углавном радна обуа. У зависности од употребене врсте коже и начина израде, израивано е неколико врста опанака. Поред тога, напрепознативии део опанка е егов врх (кун), a типови опанака се такое разликуу и према облику, величини и начину на кои е савиен. Опанци начеше носе име краа у ком су израени или ихово име означава неку ихову особину, па су тако у Србии ношени шабачки, ваевски, ужички, шумадиски, космаски, колубарски и моравски опанци, али и носке, мрки, килаши, итд.
