If you happen to be in Dubrovnik today, lucky you. If not, try again next year.
Dubrovnik celebrates its patron saint today, St Blaise (Sv Vlaho) in a series of processions, prayers and festivities that combine the solemnity of a religious occasion with the exuberance of a local blow-out. It’s an occasion to recall that Dubrovnik is not just a tourist attraction but the culmination of a remarkable cultural efflorescence.
The feast of St Blaise starts on February 2 and ends on February 3. Traditional costumes, music and dance are interspersed with processsions down Stradun, special blessings and of course, a wonderful lunch.
