S02 Ep16 - Quick Croatian Class - Holiday Greetings

12/14/21 • 13 min

Here we are with another Quick Croatian Class.
In these past few months, it so turned out that I prepared a bunch of seasonal episodes. There were several episodes inspired by the Halloween season, and then, throughout December, you’ve been listening to the episodes inspired by the Christmas season in Croatia. It’s about time, then, I tell you more about the names of various holidays in Croatia. Maybe you can use some of this word wisdom for your holiday greetings this year.

I’m going to cover various holidays, but let’s start with the ones that are currently on our minds. Let’s start with Christmas!

S02 Ep15 - Folk Customs - Lucy's Little Christmas

I'm back with some more Croatian Christmas customs. Let’s meet Saint Lucy!
Just like St Nicholas from the previous episode, Lucy is a gift-bringer. It’s another one of those days of joy for Croatian children. Joy with a twist, I’d say. Luckily enough, usually, it’s not the same parts of Croatia that give gifts for St Nicholas and St Lucy’s. Because I’m sure the kids wouldn’t survive both.
Learn about the feast day of St Lucy's colorful customs and traditions. Learn how to foretell the future Croatian way and much more.

S02 Ep17 - Folk Customs - Srčeka or Little Hearts

A special tradition of crafting licitar heart has been preserved for centuries. One of the oldest Croatian souvenirs still exists thanks to the rare craftspeople who continue it with love.
This is also this year's last Xmas special since the little red hearts make a perfect Christmas tree ornament, and a typical one in Northwestern Croatia.
