If there is anything Banat is famous for, those are Saint Sava\u2019s Day pretzels, which represent part of the rich intangible cultural heritage of our district. Motivated by our desire to keep the tradition and pass it on to younger generations, we came up with the idea on our housekeeping classes to prepare for the upcoming school Slava by making our own pretzels.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the limited kitchen space, with the help of Dragana An\u0111elkovi\u0107 Mani\u0107 and Jovana Krivo\u0161i\u0107, our housekeeping teachers, we sought help outside school. Red Cross in Kovin took our initiative with a gret deal of openness and understanding by allowing us to use their facilities, as well as help of the employees and volunteers, which significantly contibuted to successful realisation of this activity. Our special thanks go to Sara Maksimovi\u0107, a Red Cross volunteer who gave special contribution to this activity through her effort and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n

We received valuable support from \u201cContra Margum\u201d Association of Citizens, which through its ZelenGrad project, actively promotes sustainability and care for the community by donating materials for making the pretzels.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During two engaging and educational hours spent on the Red Cross premises, the students first had an opportunity to get acquainted with the history of this charitable instituation and its values. Then they were addressed by Professor Ma\u0161a Vuleti\u0107, who gave an appropriate lecture on the life and works of Saint Sava, his significance for the Serbian people, and all the humane values we keep teaching the children and young to this day, in the spirit of Saint Sava.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central and the most joyful part of the encounter was preparing the dough and shaping the pretzels for Saint Sava\u2019s Day together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are thankful to \u201cJovan Jovanovi\u0107 Zmaj\u201d Primary School pupils as well as their guests from \u201c\u0110ura Jak\u0161i\u0107\u201d Primary School, where many of them came to the event, making it even more special. We give our special thanks to Professor Dejan Kreculj, who, even though he did not attend the event, was present in a special way, having previously sent a valuable article on the marking of Saint Sava\u2019s Day from the beginning of 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n
