Serbian Slava


serbian slava (thanksgiving or glory-giving) is kept on the feast day (slava) of the patron saint of the entire family. the special spiritual depth of the slava can only be understood when one realizes that the family celebrates it on the feast day of the saint which has been the special patron of that family for centuries – ever since the family became christian. for generations, the patron saint’s day has been a special uniting force in the family, bringing it together to give glory and thanks to g-d the creator and saviour. slava celebrates the unity of christ’s church both on earth and in heaven. the slava is a sort of spiritual family reunion. those who are not present in fact are present in spirit; not only living family members who are unable to he present, but also the forefathers of the family who have fallen asleep in christ, faithful to his holy church. the grave does not separate orthodox christians one from another.
serbian slava is an orthodox tradition.
