A Serbian Family's Peaceful Pentecost Celebration
Orthodox Pentecost in Serbia: A Family Tradition On June 8th, 2025, families across Serbia celebrated Orthodox Pentecost, also known as Duhovi, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit. This year, one family's observance was captured in a short video, offering a glimpse into their traditions. The video shows the family attending church services, followed by the unique practice of weaving small wreaths from herbs. These wreaths, according to the author, Jovana, "are then taken home and placed near icons and candles." The video highlights the importance of faith and family in Serbian Orthodox culture. While the video is short, it provides a poignant visual representation of a significant religious event and tradition. The serene atmosphere and the family's participation offer a peaceful and meaningful portrayal of the day.
