The Slava feast and the Wedding celebration in Serbia, as well as the old-crafts are part of the life circle and probably best reflect the social relations – economic, kinsman, spiritual and religious. Serbian Slava is the is the celebration of the family’s patron saint which marks the day of baptism of the family ancestors and ethnically determines the identity of the Serbian peoples. Slava has been handed down from one generation to the next, as an annual observance not simply of community spirit, but of the unbroken chain of generations passing on the Orthodox faith, making tangible the connection with the saints and martyrs of the ancient times. Significance of the Serbian Slava is the social interconnection – family, rural, urban – which determines the cultural and intellectual traits in the development of the Serbian consciousness that kept the entity together and provided its longevity.
Slava festivities in Serbia last/ed three days /although customs differ in modern times/ and include feasts and dancing as well as religious ceremonies, when hosts traditionally open their house and welcome all comers – friends, God fathers, family, cousins, newborns,…. reviving the splendor of roots and spiritual rejoicing. Emotions of the celebrants are charged with the noblest motives. They have a readiness and strong desire to welcome and offer the best in friendship, food, drink that all have been prepared and served in prayer. There are many beautiful ‘zdravicas’ (toasts) heard and pronounced on the Slava feast by the host and the guests, invoking blessings of God and the Orthodox Saints and exchanging the best wishes for each other.
The traditional wedding celebrations in Serbia lasted in the past for several days and used to be organized in autumn periods, involving numerous pre- and post- rituals that were meticulously planned and performed by family members….

Crafts belong to an endangered cultural heritage of Serbia and highly enrich our tours, highlighting the historical and cultural value of craft traditions, with emphasis on the role of crafts in the sustainable development of modern human communities.
