I didn't know all the traditions surrounding a Slava, just its historical significance. I'm curious, what is Žito? Is it like Kolyva? Milan, this is very interesting.

Seriously, Slava is even more important among Serbian diaspora because it strengthening their national identity and makes stronger bond with the motherland. @amypalko – I’m glad you found me :)

I mean it can't be enough to have Christian parents also believers who are changing religion (or are atheists and who've found God) they're becoming members of certain religion by the act of baptism (or some other word if it's other religion, but the point should be the same I guess). That's my opinion without any check with relevant literature or person. Thanks for stopping by :) @Claudia – When does someone become a Christian?

That would be awesome indeed! @Secret Agent Mama - WOW I'm so glad Macedonian has found this post. I do know that Macedonians are celebrating Sv Argangel Mihailo but (correct me if I'm wrong) no as Slava but all members of the church. @Wylie – Oh yes please do write about Ukrainian customs.
