Croce sul monte Križevac. |
Cross on Mount Križevac. The construction of the Cross began in 1933 and was completed in 1934, and since then the mountain has been called precisely Šipovac Mount Križevac, Mount of the Cross. It seems that one of the reasons that drove people to erect the cross were of the heavy rains that threatened crops, for which the pastor, Bernardin Smoljan, urged parishioners, despite their poverty, to build the cross in memory of 1900 years after the death of Christ. Some relics of the True Cross of Jesus, received from Rome for the occasion, were placed in the vertical part of the cross. On March 16, 1934 was celebrated the first Mass at the foot of the cross. |
