Vidovdan! Eternal Memory! Видовдан! Вечна памјат!


Vidovdan! Eternal Memory to Tsar Saint Lazar and the Martyrs of Kosovo Field, who died on this day in 1389, in battle with the invading Muslim jihadi hordes!

Видовдан! Вјечнаја памјат Цару Светом Лазару и Мученицима Косовског Поља, који су погинули на данашњи дан 1389. године у борби са надирућим муслиманским џихадским хордама!


The Curse of Kosovo

"Whoever is a Serb and of Serb birth,And of Serb blood and heritage,
And comes not to the Battle of Kosovo,
May he never have the progeny his heart desires,
Neither son nor daughter!
May nothing grow that his hand sows,
Neither dark wine nor white wheat!
And let him be cursed from all ages to all ages!"
– St Lazar curses those who do not take up arms against the Turks at the Battle of Kosovo, from a poem first published in 1815.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
