Talk:Đurđevdan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Đurđevdan is not celebrated on May 23 by old calendar, but on April 23. This Serbian religious holiday is also a major holiday for Roma from former Yugoslavia, whether Orthodox or Muslim. Ederlezi in Romani language, this holiday celebrates the return of springtime.

[edit] Negative To Proposed Merging
I dont think the article should be merged with St. George's Day, because it is not only the name of the Serbian St. George Day but also a Roma holiday with the same name (with no connection with St. Georges day, accept the date) and a song from the band Bijelo Dugme. Sveti Djordje in Serbia is also NOT a patron saint. Although I think, Djurdjevdan could be mentioned on the St. George Day article. But Djurdjevdan article should remain. Litany
[edit] No Merging
Since it has passed more then 5 days since it was requested to merge this page with St. George's Day and I am the only one to say anything about the raised question. Since I Oppose the mergen I call of the merging. I will although ad an info section on the St. George's Day article about Djurdjevdan. Litany 18:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion
This article need an expansion. It also needs sections for Slavs Djurdjevdan and Roma Djurdjevdan. If somebody want to contribute I would be very happy but I will do my best with finding information and add to this article. Litany 18:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Added a part of the Gorani tradition of the holiday. Litany 18:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Which date?
Đurđevdan ... a Serbian religious holiday, celebrated on April 23 by the Julian calendar, or May 6 by Gregorian calendar.
So do some Serbs celebrate on April 23 and some on on May 6? The article doesn't say which date or which calendar is used where. Claret 22:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- 23 April Julian and 6 May Gregorian are the very same day, obviously. Duja 12:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
