LEGEND OF RED CHURCH Genesis As historical sources, on this issue, silence, it is relatively developed national traditions and rich. Namely, some time ago, we were able to jot a note one, seems very interesting legend about the origin of this village, as well as the meaning of his name. Exact literally reads: "At the time of one, or many, from the old Serbian running Herzegovina, in front of the Turkish depredations and revenge, in this region of Banat docile fled with the others, three brothers named Andrew, and Belij Radosav. The common was their patron saint St. Panteleimon Great (August 9). Landscape, where they will establish their new habitat, was covered (forests). As previously cleared the ground of the forest vegetation, access to the building of their family houses - chalets, since the timber was in abundance. As a true pious Christians, were soon built in the newly established settlement, and its first church (the Church) visited the trees that were red. So when it whatever, of the surrounding indigenous population, asked, "Where you have it settled?", The brothers would, without thinking, answered, "The wooden church". That settlement, in the beginning, named Cerova Church. Eventually, it was changed to red church, and eventually got the current name of Red Church. " In the same legend further says: "walking time from Andrew there was a family (family) Andrejić of Belij Belčini and Radosava Radosavljevic. We think that this interesting legend, as well as some others, should not be lightly discarded since it contains some authentic elements, which can resist the court of historical criticism. Namely, in the Red Church, there are still, after so many centuries prohujalih, families (family) Andrejić (8 track) and Radosavljevic (3 tracks). Rod Belčini, as seems, izumuro in the first half of the eighteenth century, since it saved the village registries, established 1794th was not mentioned. Interestingly, in this respect, that one branch Andrejić, still bears the nickname (špicnamen) Belčini. Gender Andrejić Radosavljevic and for his glory and now have St.. Panteleimon, which, undoubtedly, indicating their former kin, and said the legend above the historical weight and credibility. |
