Slava

The Slava (lit. "celebration"; Cyrillic: Слава), also called Krsna Slava (Крсна Слава, "christened Slava") and Krsno ime (Крсно име, "christened name"), is the Serbian Orthodox tradition of the ritual glorification of one's family's patron saint among Serbs. The family celebrates the Slava annually on the saint's feast day.

The Slava is most associated with the Serbs, who consider it a national tradition. They are most conscientious in its observation and regard the Slava as their most significant feast days. The tradition of the slava is also preserved among the Serbian diaspora. The Slava is also recorded among other ethnic groups in Northern Albania, Montenegro, as well as among the Gorani in Kosovo, a Muslim Slavic ethnic group.
