Gifts from Croatian seamen Mary's Trsat, part 2










The statue of cardinal Alojzije Stepinac at Trsat


Pope John Paul II in Rijeka during his Apostolic visit to Croatia in 2003. On that occasion he visited the Trsat sanctuary. On his right is Dr. Ivan Devčić, Archbishop of Rijeka. On the far right of the photo Dr. Mile Bogović, bishop of Gospić-Senj.






Votive candle of the Salopek family, 3m high, weighing almost one ton, placed in honour of the Apostolic visit of Pope Paul II to the Trsat Sanctuary.




Stepping stones built in 1531 by Petar Kružić (16th century), a famous defender of the Klis fortress near Split. After the fall of Klis in 1537 Kruzic was decapitated by the Turks. His sister Jelena had to pay 100 gold coins for his head, which was buried in the Franciscan Monastery of Trsat, Rijeka. We know these details from a manuscript preserved from that time, written in the Croatian Glagolitic Script.

    I find this information to be very informative; and the older I become 75years now, the more I am interested in learning more about the people in our Catholic faith who sacrificed much to pave the way for us.

    May the Peace of Christ and the love of His Most Blessed Mother reign within your hearts and soul for all eternity. Amen.
