light from theEaster

bonfire in front of the church,

now at everyone’s hearth

 

svjetlost vuzmenke

ispred crkve, sad gori

u svakoj hiži

 

Stari običaj je i uskrsni krijes ili vuzmenka. Od tog krijesa zapanjenog ispred crkve puk bi blagoslovljenu vatru odnio i njime upalio vlastito ognjište.

Another ancient custom is the Easter bonfire.  The blessed fire is taken home on candles

to light the home hearths.
