The feast of St. Vitus (Vidovdan) is marked in Serbia this June 28, in memory of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic (“Holy Tsar Lazar”) and Serbian warriors.
They were killed in the battle with the Turks at Kosovo Polje in 1389.
The Serbian Orthodox Church will mark the day with holy liturgy at the Gracanica monastery in Kosovo and Metohija, while a memorial service will be held later in the day at the Gazimestan monument built to honor the Kosovo heroes that fell in the battle in 1389.
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic will lay a wreath at the monument to Kosovo Heroes in Krusevac, while a monument to Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic will be unveiled in Sumadija Square in northern Kosovska Mitrovica.
