OUR SCHOOL Our school is situated in the central Croatia, in Karlovac, at the Karlovac County and as such Karlovac is the center of the county. Protector of our city is St. Joseph who is also the patron of our country. We speak Croatian language, write in Latin and the population is predominantly Roman Catholic (86%). Our city is famous for its beer (Karlovačko) since 1854.g, weapons factory HS product and from this year we have the first freshwater aquarium in this part of south-east Europe called Aquatik. We're also special with the fact that we are the city on four rivers: Kupa, Mrežnica, Dobra and Korana.
Our decorations and greeting cards were made with traditional embroidery and were made by students with the help of teachers and parents. First-grade pupils made little pine trees and cones. The song we wrote is a folk song originated in the parish of Banija (Banija is a part of Karlovac) where our school is situated. Sweet bread with walnut or nut roll (orehnjača) is a part of traditional mainland cuisine. We are pleased that this project involved teachers from all areas and they, in their personal interest, helped in the creation of this work. Merry Christmas to all schools in our group!

The city was built in the form of a six-pointed star Castle Dubovac

Christmas customs and traditions by Karlo Sestrić, 7.a grade Croats have always valued the Christmas season, and they developed a large number of customs and traditions related to the holiday. In our region near the river Kupa, every house with eager expected the birth of baby Jesus. Here are some of them for you to know about. Christmas Eve It is the fasting day. The whole day is spent in preparation for Christmas (cleaning up, preparing food and cakes,..). Farm animals are fed. For dinner families usually ate noodles, nut roll, cheese and strudel. After dinner parents and their children put decorations on the Christmas tree. Under the tree stood Christmas Wheat (usually sowed on St.Lucy's day) and Nativity scene. Nativity scenes were made of wood, cast (plaster), straw or moss. Some houses had static nativity scenes from Austria or Germany (fathers or grandfathers who worked there brought them).
Bringing the Christmas in The father or another male of the household brought the Christmas in. They would come through the yard into the house. They had candle, a bowl filled with beens, corn, wheat and straw on the shoulder. In the house was dark. Coming through the door, they sang traditional song Narodi nam se and then would say "May Jesus and Mary be praised good people. All health and joy, may the children be in your house, pigs in pigsties and chicken in the yard." After that they would pray. Every family member had to eat teaspoon full of honey and garlic. Under the table they put some straw. Children would pull out straws and it is believed that the child with the biggest straw would be the luckiest one next year. On the table was bread with the symbol of cross (letnica). Children went to sleep on the straw and the grownups continued talking and resting before they went to church. Midnight Mass The people went to church in the night, starting at midnight. The church was warm and full of people. The whole members of parish have found its place by little Jesus. Great Nativity cribs really stood out and had a special place. They presented the Holy Family, the Three Wise Men and shepherds. The church choir sang traditional songs. The priest with his acolytes ceremonial entred to the parish church. The smell of incense quickly spread. Midnight Mass is slightly longer from Sunday Mass. After Midnight Mass people in front of the church wish each other Merry Christmas and went home.
Christmas Dinner For dinner, the dishes were baked ribs, domestic eggs, cheese, bread and ham (petošunka). People didn t exaggerate with it. After the Holy Mass they also ate the same food prepared the day before. Christmas traditions are very important because they represent the culture and wealth of Croatian nation. It is very important to cherish the customs of their village and region. Preserve our customs, cultivate them and praise with them. How would our ancestors say : Better to die down village, then its customs. Oh, Croatia, while your name lasts, we will keep your traditions... part from traditional song
