Dragi gosti,
Dear Guests,
Prošlog meseca ubeležili smo još jednu veoma važnu tačku na putovanju Er Srbije kada smo uzeli prestižnu nagradu Airline Market Leader za 2017. godinu na Air Transport World awards ceremoniji u Njujorku. Zbog ove nagrade, koja je nešto poput Oskara u avio-industriji, neverovatno sam ponosan na čitav tim – od posade na ovom letu do tehničara koji rade u našoj floti. Lider na tržištu avio-kompanija jedno je od četiri priznanja koja svake godine dodeljuje Air Transport World , a za 2017. godinu izabrali su nas među mnogobrojnim svetskim avio-kompanijama. Razlozi su mnogi – za malo više od tri godine postali smo regionalni lider. Uveli smo modernu erbas flotu, postali jedina avio-kompanija u jugoistočnoj Evropi koja leti preko Atlantika, a predstavili smo i mnoge inovativne usluge. Ime Er Srbija sada je sinonim za vrhunsku uslugu širom sveta. I to sve zahvaljujući
Last month we marked another high point in Air Serbia’s journey when we were presented with the prestigious 2017 Airline Market Leader award at the Air Transport World annual awards ceremony in New York City. Receiving the award, which is like an Oscar in the aviation industry, made me feel incredibly proud of our team, from the cabin crew on this flight to the technicians working on our fleet. The Airline Market Leader award is one of the top four accolades presented by Air Transport World each year and in 2017 we were chosen ahead of dozens of other global carriers. The reasons are many – in just over three years we have become a regional leader, we have introduced a modern Airbus fleet, become the only airline in Southeast Europe to fly transatlantic, and debuted many new innovative services. The Air Serbia name is now synonymous for excellence – all around
the world. And it is all down to the many dedicated people who work hard to go that extra mile and make your experience the best it can be. But it doesn’t stop there and this month we are continuing that upward trajectory. On 22nd April, Air Serbia will upgrade its core

I hope you have a great flight with us today and look forward to having you onboard for many more journeys.

I to je ono što ce nastaviti da nas gura napred. Nadam se da ste danas imali prijatan let i radujem se što ćete leteti sa nama na još mnogim putovanjima.

Verovatno najveća zvezda ovogodišnjeg izdanja Musicology Barcaffè Sessions Gregori Porter nastupiće 20. aprila u Domu sindikata. Radi se o jednom od onih istinskih džez glasova koji klize niz uho direktno u dušu. Nakon što je bio nominovan za Gremi dva puta, njegova karijera krunisana je nagradom za najbolji vokalni džez album na Gremiju 2014. i 2017. Osim unikatnog vokala, postao je prepoznatljiv po tome što se uvek pojavljuje sa kapom pravljenom baš za njega, koju naziva svojim „sigurnosnim ćebencetom“. Probably the greatest star of this year’s Musicology Barcaffé Sessions, Gregory Porter will perform at Dom Sindikata on 20 th April. One of those true jazz voices that slide down the ear directly into the soul, Porter’s career was crowned, following two Grammy nominations, with the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2014 and 2017. Apart from his unique vocals, he has also become recognisable for always appearing with a cap on his head, designed especially for him, which he calls his “security blanket”.

Miki Manojlović, čuveni glumac koji ima francuske korene, prvi put za jedan magazin piše o svom doživljaju Pariza. U ovom gradu je, između ostalog, prvi put slušao Stonse uživo i za njega je ovaj grad pre svega, opominjuća prolaznost... Miki Manojlović, a famous Serbian actor with French roots, writes about his experience of Paris for any magazine for the first time. It was in this city, for instance, that he first heard the Stones perform live, and for him this city is primarily a reminder of transience...

ŠTA UVEK NOSIŠ SA SOBOM?
ŠTA VOLIŠ U BEOGRADU
WHAT DO YOU
ALWAYS CARRY WITH YOU?
Sve. Ovo je moj omilje- ni grad. Ne zato što sam
tu rođen, već zato što je pose- ban po mnogo čemu. Možda ne- ma arhitekturu kao Pariz, ali za- to ima ono nešto po čemu se izdvaja od ostatka sveta. U Beogradu može- te da slušate različitu muziku, gleda- te domaće zvezde, ali i svetska imena, da otkrijete neobične umetnike, da je- dete ukusnu hranu, da uživate u je- dinstvenom temperamentu... Sve je to Beograd. To je grad gde proleće i da- lje miriše najbolje na svetu. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN BELGRADE? Everything. This is my favourite city. Not be- cause I was born there, but because it is spe- cial in many ways. It might not have archi- tecture like Paris, but it has something that singles it out from the rest of the world. In Belgrade you can listen to various types of music, watch the local stars, but al- so distinguished names, discover un- usual artists, eat delicious food, en-
Mene je lako prepoznati na aerodromu jer uvek imam dva ručna prtljaga. Obično nosim šest reketa i ostalu opremu koja mi je potrebna na turnirima. Tu su vitaminski suplementi, žice... Osim toga, na put ne idem ni bez slušalica i tableta It’s easy to recognise me at the airport, because I always have two pieces of hand luggage. I usually carry with me six racquets and the rest of the gear I need at tournaments. There are vitamin supplements, strings... Apart from that, I don’t go on the road without headphones and a tablet either.
Mnogo putujem to- kom cele godine i stvarno sam obišao nestvarno lepa mesta. Ali
joy the unique temperament of our people... All of that is Bel- grade. This is a city where spring still smells the best in the world.
kad pomislim na more i odmor, najradije bi- ram Maldive. Čarobno ostrvo na kojem domini- raju beli pesak, providna voda i neverovatne boje... Mesto nije veliko, ali se sve vrti oko uživanja. Ovde se ukrštaju različite kulture, pa su domoroci posebno za- nimljivi, srdačni i spremaju fantastičnu ribu. Zanimljivo je da me put nikad nije odveo u Portugal, a voleo bih da odem i na ostrvo Bora Bora. I travel a lot throughout the entire year and I’ve really visited some unreally beautiful places. But when I’m thinking of the sea and rest, I most prefer to choose the Maldives. Those magical islands dom- inated by white sand, clear water and amazing colours... That place is not big, but everything revolves around enjoyment. There different cultures merge, so the natives are particu-
larly interesting and friendly, and they prepare fantas- tic fish. It is interesting that my travels have never taken me to Portugal, and I’d also like to go to Bora Bora island.

Beč Najveće brdo od jaja u Evropi
Vienna Europe’s tallest hill of eggs
Svakog aprila u austrijskoj prestonici održavaju se tradicionalni uskršnji bazari hrane, pića, nakita i umetnički ukrašenih jaja. Bazar ispred dvorca Šenbrun važi za jedan od najromantičnijih, a ove godine biće otvoren od 1. do 17. aprila. Posetioci će uživati u razgledanju raznih rukotvorina 60 izlagača, dok će najmlađi na radionicama moći da prave figure od marcipana. Ipak, prava atrakcija nalazi se na Trgu Frajung, gde organizatori svake godine naprave brdo od jaja, i to najveće u Evropi, od 40.000 oslikanih.
The Austrian capital hosts traditional Ea- ster bazaars of food, drinks, jewellery and decorated eggs every April.

SLEĆE NLO?
Na prvi pogled ova zadivljuju- ća slika nastala na krateru Kerio u Islandu podseća na sletanje NLO-a, ali reč je o retkom fenomenu prirode, polarnoj svetlosti. Ova neverovatna pojava poput magije se javlja u bli- zini magnetnih Zemljinih polova i manifestuje se u formi magličastih pramenova svetlosti u raznim boja- ma. Kada naelektrisane čestice ko- je potiču sa Sunca počnu ubrzano spiralno da se kreću oko linija ma- gnetnog polja, emituju svetlost. Ta svetlost predstavlja čaroliju zvanu Aurora borealis.
UFO LANDING?
At first glance this stunning image tak- en on Kerio crater in Iceland appears to show the arrival of a UFO - but it is in fact a rare natural phenomenon: the North- ern Lights. This incredible phenomenon appears like magic near the earth’s mag- netic poles and manifests in the form of nebulous light streaks in varied colours. When electrically charged particles orig- inating from the Sun start to move around the magnetic poles they collide with gas- es and light is emitted. This light repre- sents the magic known as Aurora Borealis.

Epska istorija srpske prestonice / Epic history of the Serbian capital
J oš jedan april upriličiće žite- ljima srpske prestonice i nje- nim gostima tradicionalnu manifestaciju Dani Beogra- da, u organizaciji Skupštine grada. Ovog puta povod za koncerte, izlož- be, predstave, pešačke ture i druge sadržaje jeste istorijski jubilej – 150 godina od kada je poslednji turski za- povednik beogradske tvrđave Ali Ri- za paša predao knezu Mihailu Obre- noviću ključeve Beograda. Predaja ključeva bio je simbolič- ki čin, jer je Srbija de fakto tada bila nezavisna, dok je samo pravno gle- dano bila delom Otomanskog car- stva. Sve neposredno pre toga je deo čuvene obrenovićevske diplomatije, a neposredno posle – razlog za slav- lje, po čemu su Beograđani, čini se, odvajkada poznati. Kao i po kavga- ma. Ali evo kako se sve to odvijalo. Mnogo nakon što je nestala vin- čanska kultura sa prvim „megalopo- lisom“ u Evropi, kako njen epicentar u jednom prigradskom beogradskom naselju danas definišu arheolozi, i na- kon što su ovaj prostor osvojili Kelti, pa Rimljani i njime protutnjali Huni, Sarmati, Ostrogoti i Avari, kad se vi- še nije zvao Singidunum, već dobio današnji naziv (878), Beogradom je vladala Vizantija. Zbog zgodnog po- ložaja na ušću Save u Dunav bio je mračni predmet želja i Mađarske i
Bugarske, i razlog za njihovo trve- nje i strateške aspiracije. U ranom srednjem veku bio je utočište mnogim balkanskim narodi- ma koji su bežali od vlasti Osmanli- ja, ali je i njega 1521. pokorila vojska Sulejmana Veličanstvenog. Naseliv- ši srušen i spaljen grad, Turci su od njega stvorili orijentalnu varoš koja je mamila uzdahe putopisaca. Ali ni potonji vekovi nisu bili mirni, triput ga je od Turaka preotimala Austri- ja. Međutim, tog presudnog junskog dana 1862. na Beograskoj tvrđavi vi- jorila se turska zastava. „Sava Petković, dečak i trgovač- ki šegrt, hteo je da zahvati vodu sa Čukur-česme (u današnjoj Dobrači- noj ulici), ali mu se suprotstavio je- dan turski vojnik smatrajući da ima pravo prvenstva“, priča Zorica Arsić iz Udruženja turističkih vodiča Sr- bije. Ranjavanje dečaka Save bilo je povod za ozbiljno puškaranje izme- đu turskih nizama i srpskih žandar- ma, odnosno za eskalaciju sukoba,
što bi se reklo današnjim političkim rečnikom. Tada na scenu stupa diplomat- ska veština kneza Mihaila. „Burgija- jući“ odavde-odande, dobio je poziv od sultana Abdula Aziza da mu lič- no, u Stambolu, preda ferman o oslo- bađanju svih srpskih gradova u ko- jima su Turci imali posede. U noći 17. aprila 1867. kneza su Beograđani dočekali hiljadama upa- ljenih baklji, što je bio pir bez pre- sedana. Slavilo se do jutra. Dva da- na kasnije Ali Riza je javno pročitao ferman, predao ključeve knezu Mi- hailu, a ovaj pobedonosno ušetao u Gornji grad Tvrđave zajedno sa stre- ljačkom četom, koja je zamenila tur- ske stražare. Od tada je Beograd slobodan, sa manjim prekidima tokom Prvog i Drugog svetskog rata, pred novim izazovima izgradnje. Izvesna haotič- nost koja ga danas odlikuje zapisana mu je u genima. Primera radi, pri po- slednjem prelasku iz ruku Austrijana- ca u turske ruke, srušeni su bastioni oko Tvrđave, po zahtevu pobeđenih da „imovinu“ vrate u „pređašnjem stanju“, da bi ih i Turci potom po- novo izgradili. Ovde se ni ustavi nisu dugo za- državali, pa je prvi, Sretenjski, iz 1835, bio kratko u opticaju, da bi bio odba- čen kao previše demokratski. Pisan
VRABAC I STRELA „Turske opsade su bile toliko jake da su nakon jedne navod- no pronašli vrapca probodenog sa tri strele“, objašnjava Zori- ca Arsić iz Udruženja turističkih vodiča Srbije zašto je ova si- ćušna ptica zaštitni znak Beograda. Nekim pripovedačima su tri strele delovale malo, pa su njihov broj povećali na šest, da bi tragedija bila upečatljivija.

A nother April will see the resi- dents and guests of the Serbi- an capital treated to the tradi- tional Days of Belgrade event, organised by the City Assembly. This time, the occasion for concerts, exhibitions, per- formances, walking tours and other activi- ties is represented by an historic anniversary – 150 years since the last Turkish command- er of the Belgrade fortress, Ali Riza Pasha, surrendered the keys of Belgrade to Prince Mihailo Obrenovi ć . The handing over of the keys was a symbolic act, given that Serbia was then de facto independent and only legally part of the Ottoman Empire. Everything immedi- ately prior to that was part of the famous “Obrenovićs” diplomacy, and immediate- ly after – cause for celebration which Bel- graders, it seems, have always been known for. Just like for fighting. But here’s how it all unfolded chronologically. Long after the disappearance of the Vinca culture from the first “megalopolis” in Europe – as its epi-centre in a suburban Belgrade neighbourhood is today defined by archaeologists – and after this place was conquered by Celts, then Romans, and then ransacked by Huns, Sarmatians, Ostrogoths and Avars, when it was no longer called Singidunum but had already gained its cur- rent name (878AD), Belgrade was ruled by Byzantium. Due to its convenient position at the confluence of the rivers Sava and Dan- ube, it was an“object of the dark desires”of
SPARROW AND ARROW “The Turkish sieges were so strong that after one a sparrow was allegedly found that had been pierced by three arrows,” explains Zorica Arsić, from the Association of Tour Guides of Serbia, which is why this tiny bird is the symbol of Belgrade. Some storytellers considered that three arrows were not eno- ugh, so they exaggerated the number to six, in order for the tragedy to be even more remarkable.
be worded in today’s political vocabulary. Arriving on the scene then was the dip- lomatically skilled Prince Mihailo.“Drilling” from here, from there, he received an invi- tation from Sultan Abdul Aziz to him per- sonally, to go to Istanbul, to receive the fir- man edict on the liberation of all Serbian cities where Turks had estates. On the night of 17 th April 1867, Bel- graders awaited the prince with an unprec- edented celebration. They celebrated un- til morning. Two days later, Ali Riza publicly read the firman edict and handed over the keys of the city to the prince, who walked tri- umphantly to the Upper Town of Kalameg- dan Fortress, with all the Turkish guards re- placed by archers. Belgrade has been free ever since, with brief interruptions during the first and sec- ond world wars, in the face of new con- struction challenges. The certain degree of chaos that characterises the city today is written into its “genes”. For example, dur- ing the last handover from the Austrians to the Turks, the bastions around the for- tress were demolished, following the re- quest of the vanquished that the “proper- ty” be returned in its “previous state”, only for the Turks to rebuild them. Here even constitutions didn’t last long, with the first one, the Sretenjski Constitu- tion, from 1835, being in circulation only briefly, until it was rejected for being too democratic. Written with a view to the then recently adopted French constitution, it was
both Hungary and Bulgaria, and the reason for their friction and strategic aspirations. In the early Middle Ages, Belgrade was a haven for many Balkan peoples fleeing the Ottoman authorities, but it was itself con- quered in 1521 by the army of Suleiman the Magnificent. Settling the demolished and razed city, the Turks rebuilt it as an ori- ental town that inspired sighs among trav- el writers. However, even the latter centu- ries were not peaceful – it was taken from the Turks three times by Austria. However, on that decisive day in June 1862, it was the Turkish flag that flew above the Bel- grade fortress. “Sava Petković, a boy and merchant’s apprentice, wanted to take water from the Čukur drinking fountain (in today’s Dobrači- na Street), but he was opposed by a Turkish soldier, who considered that he had prior- ity,” says Zorica Arsić, of the Association of Tour Guides of Serbia. The boy was injured, which caused a serious gun battle between Turkish ranks and Serbian gendarmes, or the escalation of the conflict, as it would

considered too libertarian. A complex fusion of cultures is reflected in the development of the capital city. Miloš Obrenović, the fa- ther of Prince Mihailo, extended the city to Košutnjak, with a view to the European trend of royal court complexes being sur- rounded by gardens. With the practicality of a pig merchant, which Miloš was by“vo- cation”, he was not permitted to keep them in the gardens. The meadows of Topčider were partly a place for picnics, and partly a work station for livestock (and fish) ear- marked for export to the West, and here was also conceived a nursery of ornamental plants. In Vienna he purchased plane trees, the large trees that grace many of the boule- vards of European capitals. The memorial to this time is in the form of the great tree of this continental type, with its branches supported by 18 metal poles, next to Mi- loš’s Topčider residence. The epic History of Belgrade, filled with wars and destruction, ensures that wherev- er you scrape here you will encounter trac- es of previous civilisations. Even before the systematic organisation of people, during prehistoric times, this territory was inhab- ited by Neanderthals. The skeleton of one, killed in a fight with a mammoth, was found in 1938 during the construction of Alba- nia Palace. The mammoth also didn’t fare any better, judging by the remains found in the vicinity. In these turbulent conditions that are typical for the central part of the Balkans it is no wonder that we call this part of the world a “powder keg”... And in the glory of this turbulent his- tory, the Days of Belgrade have been cele- brated continuously every April since 2003, with fun activities, but also serious pro- grammes. This year’s event will be marked by concerts of classical, pop and jazz mu- sic. Visitors will stroll along the Sava prom- enade to the Belgrade fortress, where an exhibition of the Museum of the City of Belgrade will be located: featuring a se- lection of authentic photographs related to the anniversary of the handover of the keys to the city. In the early Middle Ages, Belgrade was a haven for many Balkan peoples fleeing the Ottoman authorities, but it was itself conquered in 1521 by the army of Suleiman the Magnificent

po ugledu na tek doneti francuski, bio je previše slobodarski. Komplek- san miks kultura ogledao se i u ra- zvoju glavnog grada. Miloš Obreno- vić, otac kneza Mihaila, širio ga je ka Košutnjaku, po ugledu na modu u Evropi da dvorski kompleksi bu- du okruženi vrtovima. Praktičnost tr- govca svinjama, što je Miloš po vo- kaciji bio, nije mu dozvolila da se zadrži na baštama. Livade Topčide- ra delom su bile mesto za piknike, a delom stanice za stoku (i ribu) pred izvoz na zapad, a na njima je začet i rasadnik ukrasnog rastinja. U Beču su kupovani platani, krupno drveće koje krasi mnoge bulevare metropo- la Evrope. Spomen na to vreme je ogromno stablo ove kontinentalne vrste poduprtih grana sa 18 stubova kraj Miloševog konaka u Topčideru. Epska istorija Beograda, puna ratova i rušenja, učinila je da ovde, gde god zagrebeš, nailaziš na trago- ve prethodnih civilizacija. Čak i pre sistemske organizacije ljudi, u prai- storijsko doba, ovu teritoriju su na- seljavali neandertalci. Skelet jednog, palog u borbi s mamutom, pronađen je 1938. prilikom izgradnje Palate Al- banija . Ni mamut nije bolje prošao, sudeći po ostacima nađenim u bli- zini. Zbog tih trusnih uslova, tipič- nih za centralni deo Balkana, ne tre- ba da čudi što ovaj deo sveta zovemo bure baruta... A u slavu burne istorije svakog aprila od 2003, u kontinuitetu, održa- vaju se Dani Beograda, sa zabavnim, ali i ozbiljnim programima. Ovogo- dišnju priredbu obeležiće koncerti klasike, popa i džeza. Posetioci će proći Savskim šetalištem Beograd- ske tvrđave, gde će biti locirana izlož- ba Muzeja grada Beograda: pregršt autentičnih fotografija u vezi sa ju- bilejom predaje ključeva.

TRADICIJA TRADITION USKRS IZMEĐU ISTOKA I ZAPADA EASTER BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
Većinu ljudi zbunjuje tih 13 dana, koji zapravo predstavljaju razliku između julijanskog i gregorijanskog kalendara. Zbunjenost nije manja kada se dogodi, kao ove godine, da obe crkve proslavljaju Uskrs istog dana. Ima li razlike između pravoslavnog i katoličkog Uskrsa?
Most people are confused by those 13 days, which actually represent the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The confusion is no less when, like this year, all churches celebrate Easter on the same day. Are there any differences between Easters?
Tekst / Words: Tamara Ognjević, istoričarka umetnosti / art historian Fotografije / Photography: iStock U skrs je onaj trenutak ka- da se ostvaruje najzna- čajnije Hristovo obeća- nje – pobeda nad smrću i uspostavljanje novog zaveta iz- među Boga i verujućih, zaveta ko- ji garantuje večni život. U tom kon- tekstu, posebno za pravoslavce, ali i predstavnike Istočne katoličke cr- kve (Libanci, Rumuni, Italoalbanci, deo Ukrajinaca…) Uskrs predstav- lja praznik nad praznicima, vreme kada se krunišu i venčavaju kralje- vi, krštavaju prestolonaslednici, ali i obični smrtnici, obnavljaju stari i uspostavljaju novi savezi. To je vre- me kada je sa stanovišta hrišćan- ske crkve najpoželjnije i preminu- ti, budući da je od uskršnje nedelje, pa u narednih sedam dana, u vreme Svetle sedmice, nebo otvoreno i svi oni koji tada napuste ovaj svet idu direktno u raj. Vaskrs, Uskrs ili Pasha, kako je od davnina nazivan ovaj praznik po uzoru na jevrejski Pesah, praznik koji obeležava onaj čuveni, često filmova- ni izlazak Jevreja iz faraonskog Egip- ta, počinje Velikim postom. Upravo
E aster is the moment when Christ’s most important promise is realised – victory over death and the es- tablishment of a new covenant be- tween God and believers, a covenant that guarantees eternal life. In this context, es- pecially for Orthodox Christians, but also representatives of so-called Eastern Catho- lic Churches (Lebanese, Romanians, Ita- lo-Albanians, part of Ukrainians etc.), East- er represents the holiday of the holidays, a time when royals are crowned and wed, when heirs to the throne are baptised, but also ordinary mortals, and when old alli- ances are renewed and new ones estab- lished. This is also the time when, from the standpoint of the Christian Church, it is most desirable to die, given that dur- ing Easter Sunday and the following sev- en days, in the time of the so-called Bright Week/Renewal Week, the doors of Heaven are open and all those who leave this world during that time go directly to Heaven. Easter Exodus or Pascha, as this holi- day has long been called – based on the model of the Jewish holiday of Passover, is the holiday that marks the famous event, often depicted in film, of the Jews leav- ing Pharaonic Egypt, and which marks the
start of the great fasting period of Lent. It is precisely this process, which involves not only abstaining from food of animal ori- gin, but also, above all, from ugly thoughts and deeds, that acts as a kind of prepara- tion for the receiving of Easter commun- ion, and with it all that Easter symbolises. For Catholics and Protestants this fast begins on so-called Ash Wednesday, the day named after the symbolic ashes sprin- kled over the faithful by the priest, and lasts for 40 days, not counting Sundays. Ortho- dox believers start their fast on Pure Mon- day, named after the old tradition of clean- ing the home and the household bathing on the eve of the Great Lent, which also lasts 40 days, counting Sundays. Unlike Catholics and Protestants, Or- thodox Christians celebrate Lazarus Satur- day or Willow day on the Saturday preced- ing the Great Sabbath, and all Christians celebrate the next day, Palm Sunday, repre- senting Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem. While Orthodox believers remain silent during Holy Week, or the week of Christ’s demise, undergoing strict fasting on water, and of- ten on Good Friday practising complete fasting, or at least avoiding red colour- ed foods, which symbolise the blood of

Svi hrišćani veruju da se na Uskrs prvo treba omrsiti crvenim jajetom, koje je simbol večnog života i plodnosti
ovaj proces, koji podrazumeva ne samo uzdržavanje od hrane živo- tinjskog porekla već, pre svega, od ružnih misli i dela, predstavlja svo- jevrsnu pripremu za primanje uskrš- njeg pričešća, a sa njim i svega ono- ga što Uskrs simbolizuje. Kod katolika ovaj post počinje na Pepelnicu ili Čistu sredu, dan koji je dobio ime po simboličnom pepe- lu kojim sveštenik posipa verujuće, i traje 40 dana, u koje se ne računa- ju nedelje. Pravoslavci post započi- nju na Čisti ponedeljak, nazvan tako prema staroj tradiciji čišćenja kuće i kupanja ukućana uoči predstojećeg Velikog posta, koji takođe traje 40 dana, računajujući i nedelje. Za razliku od katolika, pravoslav- ci proslavljaju Lazarevu subotu ili Vr- bicu u subotu koja prethodi Velikoj suboti, a i jedni i drugi slave Cveti, odnosno Hristov ulazak u Jerusa- lim. Dok pravoslavni tihuju tokom Strasne sedmice, odnosno nedelje Hristovog stradanja, podvrgavaju- ći se strogom postu na vodi, a na Veliki petak često potpunom glado- vanju ili izbegavanju namirnica cr- vene boje koje bi simbolizovale krv Hristovu, u pojedinim regijama (jug Italije, katoličke kongregacije u Sve- toj zemlji, delovi Hrvatske...) katoli- ci imaju obred koji se naziva Pohod raspetnika ili križničara i koji sim- bolizuje Hristov put ka Golgoti, no- šenje krsta, plač Bogorodice i čitav niz komponenti koje treba da pod- sete na raspeće. Odustvo svetla i zvonjave, baš kao i molitveno bdenje uoči Uskrš- nje nedelje, svojstveni su svim hri- šćanima. Zajedničko im je i paljenje prve sveće, koja simbolizuje vaskr- slog Gospoda, a koju u tihu i mrač- nu crkvu u noći između Velike subo- te i Uskršnje nedelje unosi najmlađi u svešteničkoj hijerarhiji – đakon. Primanje pričešća, hramovi pu- ni cveća i šarenih jaja tipični su pri- zori u svim hrišćanskim bogomolja- ma tokom ovog velikog praznika.
CRVENO JAJE, MAGIČNO I LEKOVITO
Crveno jaje je autentični simbol Uskrsa i jedan od naj- starijih simbola plodnosti. Predanje kaže da su se pro- tivnici Hristovog učenja rugali da će on vaskrsnuti ka- da kokoške počnu da nose crvena jaja, to jest nikada. Kada se vaskrsli Hrist oglasio Mariji Magdaleni i žena- ma mironosicama koje su došle na njegov grob, tog jutra su koke nosile crvena jaja. Kod Srba postoji bezbroj verovanja i običaja u kojima jaje ima važnu ulogu. Ono se stavlja u prvu brazdu, u žito i lan prilikom sejanja, razbija se o rog volu pred oranje, a koristi se i kao odbrana od uroka i grada. Kroz istoriju jaje je uvek predstavljalo nešto misteri- ozno, magično i lekovito. Prvo obojeno uskršnje jaje stavlja se na počasno mesto u kući, a zove se čuvar- kuća ili strašnik. Veruje se da štiti kuću i imanje, a ne- kada je bio običaj da ga, kad naiđe nevreme, domaćin iznese u dvorište kako bi nevreme zaobišlo imanje. Čuvarkuća se čuva do narednog Uskrsa, a smatra se velikom nesrećom ako se razbije. RED EGG, MAGICAL AND MEDICINAL The red egg is an authentic symbol of Easter and one of the oldest fertility symbols. According to traditi- on, opponents of Christ’s teachings mocked believers, saying that he would be resurrected when chickens start to lay red eggs, meaning never. When Christ’s re- surrection was announced by Mary Magdalene and the women-Myrrhbearers who entered his tomb, hens laid red eggs that morning. With Serbs, the egg plays an important role in numero- us beliefs and customs. It is placed in the first furrow in a field, in the wheat and flax during sowing; it is crac- ked on the horn of an ox before ploughing, and is al- so used as a defence against spells and hail. Througho- ut history, the egg has always represented something mysterious, magical and healing. The first Easter egg to be painted is placed in a place of honour in the hou- se, and it is called the čuvarkuća or strašnik (protector or guard). It is believed to protect the house and esta- tes, with an old custom being for the head of the hou- sehold to take it outside when a storm was on the ho- rizon, in the belief that it would cause the storm to bypass the estate. The guardian egg is kept until the following Easter, and breaking it is considered extre- mely bad luck.
Christ, in certain regions (southern Italy, the Catholic congregation in the Holy Land, parts of Croatia etc. ) Catholics have a cer- emony called the march of the crucified ili križničara, which symbolises Christ’s jour- ney to Calvary (Gagulta/Golgotha), carry- ing the cross, the weeping Virgin Mary and a series of components intend to serve as reminders of the crucifixion. The absence of light and ringing, just like the prayer vigil on the eve of Easter Sunday, are inherent to all Christians. They also share the custom of lighting the first candle, which symbolises the resurrected Lord, and which is brought into the dark, silent church on the night between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday by the low- est ranked in the clerical hierarchy – the deacon. Receiving Communion, churches and temples filled with flowers and colourful eggs, represent the typical scene for all Christian houses of worship during this great holiday.
All Christians believe that Lent should first be broken on Easter Sunday with an egg painted red, which symbolises both eternal life and fertility
