Kotor marked three significant dates

Kotor today, as a rare city in Montenegro, marked three important dates for two great monotheistic religions in the same day, which once again confirmed the exceptional richness and cosmopolitanism of the cultural and historical heritage of Kotor and Boka.

In the church of St. Nicholas, Savindan was celebrated with a liturgy, and then, in the square in front of the largest Orthodox church in the Old Town, the City Music of Kotor, according to tradition, played the hymn to St. Sava.

The gathered people then moved to the Square in front of the Basilica of St. Trypun, where they joined their fellow citizens of the Catholic faith in celebrating Lod - the introduction to the Tripunda festivities.

Lodes (praises) to St. Tripun - the patron saint of the city of Kotor, were pronounced this year for the 1212th time, and at noon, from the balcony of the cathedral, the small admiral of the Bokel Navy, Karlo M. Ribica from Tivat, pronounced them.

The liturgy in the Church of St. Nicholas and the ceremony in front of the Cathedral of St. Tripun were also attended by the leadership of the Municipality of Kotor led by Mayor Vladimir Jokić.

Then, on the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Kotor leaders visited the exhibition dedicated to the Jewish cultural heritage in Kotor in the Maritime Museum.

In that city, by the way, there is also a small Jewish cemetery, and the international project "Discovery, exhibition and use of Jewish heritage in the Danube region - Rediscover" is currently underway, in which the Municipality of Kotor was also an actor.

As part of the pilot activities for that project, an exhibition was prepared in the Maritime Museum where archival research of Jewish cultural heritage in Boka from the XNUMXth to the XNUMXth century was presented, and the small Jewish cemetery in Škaljari was architecturally photographed and reconstructed.
