Water in Religion, Customs, Art and Life
The program will last two days.

A memorial fountain in the memory of the Svrljig rebels who used to protect Serbian borders aginst the Turks at the Gramada Saddle, will be opened there on September 11th, 2004, to mark the Opening Day of the European Heritage Days in Svrljig.

The main activity is planned for September 14th, 2004, and this will be an excursion of the youth, students of all Svrljig schools, to St Arhangel Monastery. The monastery is situated close to the Popcica Village, and was a well known religious and educational centre known as Racinska Church, most probably constructed in the 15th century in Serbian-Morava style, and renovated in 1857. The participants will be given a plan of the program and encouraged to talk, in the ambience of the Monastery, on the theme: "Water as a Biblical Motive" with the special attention paid to the christening ritual. Appropriate sport activities will follow this program. The participation of 200 people is planned, including persons with special needs and members of the Romany population.
