Church of St Nicholas

Crkva sv.Nikole biskupa (st.Nicholas church) Zagreb.Croatia

Crkva sv. Nikole biskupa jedna je od najmlađih u gradu Zagrebu.. kamen temeljac postavljen je 1998.g, a crkva je posvećena 2007.g.
Župa Stenjevec II broji oko 3000 obitelji tj. cca 13 000 registriranih vjernika.
Velik doprinos gradnji crkve i župnih prostorija dali su i građani svojim višegodišnjim dobrovoljnim prilozima, kao i brojni obrtnici i ugledni umjetnici pripadnici župne zajednice.

Danas je župa veoma aktivna i živi sa svojim narodom.. tako ima vrlo dobar zbor gospođa,mješoviti zbor odraslih, zbor mladih, dječji zbor, ministrantske aktivnosti,tečajeve, pa čak i malonogometnu ekipu.

U sklopu objekta postoji i dječji vrtić sa vrhunskim uvjetima za boravak i odgoj dječice..:-))

Posebno bih želio istaknuti brigu za stare i nemoćne, kao i obitelji (pojedince) lošijeg imovinskog stanja, kao i ostale karitativne djelatnosti.
Pri početku izgradnje za župnika je bio imenovan Vlado Razum, koji je nakon nekog vremena otišao na novu dužnost, nakon čega su brigu o župi preuzeli Antun Sente i kapelan Ivan Grinišin... Rezultate njihovog nesebičnog rada imate prilike vidjeti u ovom malom videu..
Toliko, hvala na pažnji.. j. :-))

Хорватия: Цавтат | Croatia: Cavtat

Я со своим верным штурманом и супругой Аллой Кошкой провел 5 чудесных выходных дня в Южной Далмации.
2 дня - в Черногории: аэропорт Тиват (Черногория) - Котор - Пераст - национальный парк Ловчен - Цетине - Rijeka Crnojevica - Будва - Свети-Стефан - совершаем паромную переправу через Которский залив - Herceg Novi - о чем можно посмотреть мой фильм:

Оставшиеся 3 дня мы отдохнули в городке Цавтат, в замечательном отеле Hotel Croatia Cavtat*****
* * *
Ца́втат (хорв. Cavtat, итал. Ragusavecchia) — город в Хорватии, расположенный на юго-востоке от Дубровника на адриатическом побережье, в Дубровницко-Неретванской жупании.
Цавтат — центр общины Конавле и самый южный город Хорватии. Численность населения — 2 тыс. человек.
Цавтат — древний город, он был известен ещё как греческая колония Эпидаурус (Epidauros). В 228 году до н. э. город попал под власть римлян и позднее стал римской колонией. Название города также претерпело некоторые изменения: оно было латинизировано. Таким образом, город стал называться Эпидаврум (лат. Epidaurum).
Первое упоминание о римском городе Эпидавре относится к 47 году до Рождества Христова. До наших дней почти не дошло предметов материальной культуры. Частично сохранился акведук, соединяющий Эпидаврум с деревней Водовадья в Конавле, снабжавшей город водой. Название места, откуда забиралась вода (Конавле — Каналис) дало название всей местности.
В начале VII века город подвергся аваро-славянскому нашествию и, предположительно, в 614 году беженцы из Эпидауруса основали город Рагузу (современный Дубровник). С тех пор Цавтат принадлежал славянскому государству Травунии. В 1426 году он был приобретен у князя Р. Павловича Дубровницкой республикой, и с этого времени Цавтат полностью разделил судьбу Дубровника.
В настоящее время Цавтат — один из популярных туристических центров Хорватии.
Большая часть зданий Цавтата сохранившихся со времён Республики Дубровник построено в стиле ренессанс с элементами готики. Это — Княжеский двор, церковь Святого Николая и монастырь Девы Марии Снежной. Также, частично уцелели городские стены и фортификационные сооружения.
Во дворце ректора хранится коллекция Балтазара Богишича: библиотека состоящая из 22 тыс. раритетных книг, ценнейший архив, собрание графики, коллекция старинных монет, оружия, этнографическая коллекция.
В доме где родился Влах Буховец открыт Мемориальный музей. Так же работы Буховца экспонируются в церкви Св. Николая и в церкви монастыря Девы Марии Снежной.
В окрестностях Цавтата расположены руины илирийских, греческих и римских поселений. При раскопках там найдены амфоры, части строений, мозаики и т. п. Недалеко от монастыря сохранились остатки городских улиц, руины амфитеатра и лестницы ведущие на холм возвышающийся над городом, где согласно легенде стоял храм Асклепия, а позже (в римские времена) располагался форум Августа. В настоящее время на холме построен шедевр хорватского скульптора Ивана Мештровича — мавзолей семейства Рачич.

Benedict XVI's travel plans for Croatia

PRAY FOR FRUITFULNESS OF APOSTOLIC TRIP TO CROATIA
VATICAN CITY, 1 JUN 2011 (VIS) - During today's general audience celebrated in St. Peter's Square, the Pope greeted the various groups of faithful in their respective languages.

Addressing a group of Polish pilgrims, the Holy Father particularly greeted the youth who will meet next Saturday in Lednica. Give thanks to God for the life and the beatification of John Paul II: father, guide, priest, and friend of the youth. He built the house on the rock who is Christ! He followed the voice of the Gospel. He persevered in prayer and in adoration of the Eucharist. He had a heart that was open to all. He suffered with Christ. He was an extraordinary pilgrim in faith. May you be inspired by the theme for the gathering: 'John Paul II: What Matters is Holiness'!.

Benedict XVI also greeted the Croatian pilgrims: Next Saturday and Sunday, he said, I will visit Zagreb in Croatia to celebrate with you the National Day of Catholic Croatian Families. I look forward to this meeting with joy and invite you to pray that my visit to that beloved land will produce much spiritual fruit and that Christian families might be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
May 31, 2011. (Romereports.com) Benedict XVI will travel to Croatia on June 4 and 5. During his two-day visit, he will preside over the National Day of Croatian Catholic Families. This is the first trip that Benedict XVI has made to the country as pope, however he visited twice while he was a cardinal.


The pope will arrive at the Zagreb airport on the morning of Saturday June 4. He plans to give a speech directed toward the entire nation. He will also be received by the president, Ivo Josipovic, the Cardinal of Zagreb, Josip Bozanic and the president of the Croatian Episcopal Conference, Archbishop Marin Srakić.

The President of Croatia is an avid music lover and the pope plans to give him a copy of a song's manuscript from the Vatican Library.

Benedict XVI will be staying at the Croatian nunciature, which was built 20 years ago, after the country's independence from Yugoslavia. There he will receive the Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor.

In the afternoon, in the Croatian National Theatre, Benedict XVI will meet with representatives from local organizations, politicians, entrepreneurs, diplomats and leaders of other religions. In total, he will meet with around 700 people. It will be the only Ecumenical meeting for the trip.

After the meeting, Benedict XVI will meet with 50,000 young people in the central square of Zagreb. He will give away a gold rosary to the Virgin Mary. The meeting will end with a Eucharistic adoration.

On Sunday June 5, Benedict XVI will preside over the Day of Croatian Families. It will be at a local racetrack which holds around 300,000 people.

In the afternoon, he will visit the famous Cathedral of Zagreb, which has neo-Gothic style, and where the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac is buried. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison by a communist court. Here, the bishops, priests and seminarians will pray the Vespers together.

Of the 4 ½ million inhabitants in Croatia, 89% are Catholic. Agnostics make up 6% and 2% practice Islam.
Ljubav prema Svetome Ocu mora biti u nama divna strast, jer u njemu mi vidimo Krista (Sveti Josemaria, Ljubiti Crkvu, str 39.)


Sveti Ambrozije napisao je nekoliko kratkih rečenica koje zvuče poput klicanja: Gdje je Petar, tamo je Crkva; i gdje je Crkva, tu ne vlada smrt, nego vječni život. Jer tamo gdje su Petar i Crkva, tamo je Krist, a on je spasenje, on je jedini Put.
Ljubiti Crkvu, 28

Tvoja najveća ljubav, tvoje veliko iskazivanje počasti, tvoje najdublje poštovanje, tvoja najpodložnija poslušnost, najveća naklonost, trebaju biti također za Namjesnika Kristova na zemlji, za Papu.
Mi katolici moramo znati da, nakon Boga i naše Majke, Presvete Djevice, po hijerarhiji ljubavi i autoriteta dolazi Sveti Otac.
Kovačnica, 135

Hvala ti, Bože, za ljubav prema papi, što si je usadio u moje srce.
Put, 573

Katolički, apostolski, rimski! Drago mi je da si toliko rimski. I da imaš želju hodočastiti u Rim videre Petrum, - upoznati Petra.
Put, 520

Svaki dan sve više moraš rasti u vjernosti prema Crkvi, Papi i Svetoj Stolici... S ljubavlju sve više teološkom!
Brazda, 353

Prihvati Papinu riječ, prioni vjerom, jednostavnom, unutarnjom i djelotvornom: budi uza nj!
Kovačnica, 133

Neka te svakodnevno razmišljanje o teškom teretu koje pritišće Papu i biskupe, potakne da ih poštuješ, da ih ljubiš istinskom naklonošću, da ih pomažeš svojom molitvom.
Kovačnica, 136

Vjernost Rimskom Prvosvećeniku uključuje jasnu i određenu obvezu: poznavati mišljenje Pape izraženo u enciklikama ili u drugim dokumentima i učiniti, koliko je do nas, da svi katolici poslušaju nauk Svetog Oca i prema

Хорватия: курорт Башка Вода | Croatia: resort Baška Voda

Мы с Вами продолжаем путешествие по чудесной солнечной, любимой мной всем сердцем - Хорватии!
Наш маршрут на 7 дней путешествия по Средней Далмации:
«Москва - аэропорт Сплит - Трогир - Сплит - Хвар - остров Брач (Бол и Сумартин) - Макарска - Брела - Башка-Вода - Промайна - Биоково (вершина Св Юрия) - Омиш - аэропорт Сплит – Москва»
Погода в конце сентября была замечательная: +22-25, вода в море +21-22 гр.
* * *
Башка-Вода (Baska Voda), один из самых уютных городков Макарской Ривьеры, находится в 60 км от Сплита, 10 км от Макарска и в 75 км от аэропорта. Еще не так много лет назад он был маленькой рыбацкой деревушкой, а сегодня превратился в один из популярных курортов Хорватии с гостеприимными жителями, множеством ресторанов и баров, мелкогалечными пляжами и чистым морем.
Лет ему немало: первые упоминания относятся к 18 веку, как раз к тому времени, когда закончились войны с турками. С тех времен в поселке сохранилось немало зданий и старинные церкви: Святого Николая и Святого Ловро. С трех сторон вокруг Башку Воду окружает хвойный лес, а с четвертой находится песчаный (что является редкостью для Хорватии) пляж и чистейшей воды море. Начал свою жизнь поселок как небольшая рыбацкая деревушка, а превратился в один из самых известных курортов мира.

Postcard of Trogir - UNESCO Town (Loma Kroatiassa 2013)

Trogir as a destination:
Trogir is situated in Central Dalmatia, along the Adriatic coast. Its naturally protected harbour has become very popular among the yachtsmen from all over the world. There are numerous sights which can be visited within the distance of only hundred kilometres from Trogir, e.g. the towns of Dubrovnik, Šibenik and Zadar, as well as some of the Croatia's most beautiful national parks.
The nearness to the Split Airport (5 kilometres) and a fast connection to the motorway (only 15 kilometres) make Trogir with its surrounding ports and islands an inevitable stop during your visit to Dalmatia. It is all those sunny days, too, what makes Trogir an ideal destination for adventurous experience of Dalmatia, holiday idleness and a runaway from the mainland.
A town of history:
Trogir was founded by the Greek colonists in the 3rd century BC.
Throughout the history it was occupied by the Romans, the Byzantines, the Hungarians, the Venetians and Napoleon.
Culture, humanism and architecture flourished here in the Middle Ages; bulwarks and a tower which were built at that time within the ancient town nucleus defined its outlines. Trogir is today on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage as the best preserved Romanesque-Gothic town in Central Europe.
A town of culture:
Trogir has been known as a 'monument town'.
Some of the most famous sights in the town are the Cathedral of St Lawrence with its remarkable portal by Master Radovan, the Kamerlengo Fortress, the Town Gate, the Čipiko Palace, the Town Hall, the Church of St Nicholas, a museum, a picture gallery and the 'Kairos' art collection.
According to the UNESCO:
„Trogir is a precious, a consistent part of world heritage. But don't look just for stone. Look for the mysterious spirit in stone. Look for all those architects, builders, artists, patrons, for all those stories hidden in the history of stone.
A town of entertainment and gastronomy:
Bars, taverns, restaurants, souvenir shops, jazz corners, traditional music corners, a theatre and music festivals...
'A long list of the entertainment possibilities in Trogir; diverse, lively and interesting. The town's life, fun, passion and vibrations arise from three springs: the market, the promenade and the central square.
It's not only buildings and history what makes this town; it lives through its scents and colours, flavours and sounds, through all those perfect dishes created in its long and rich history.
The gastronomy of Trogir is a typical Mediterranean one, with lots of fish and other seafood, olive oil, cheese, pršut (ham), and various meat dishes.
But the local identity of Trogir is accomplished through two typical dishes, 'pašticada' and 'rafijol'.
They taste best if you have them in 'konoba' (a Dalmatian tavern). Don't forget to try some of the autochthon Dalmatian wines, like 'pošip', 'babić', 'postup', 'faros' and many others.
