The village of Rašćane faithfully represents the life of small Dalmatian villages and the traditions which remain vivid in the memories of its inhabitants. Numerous wars, foreign conquerors and foes all left their trace on both its churches and the human hearts. But the locals fought bravely, built churches, renewed the village and preserved their tradition against all odds. The traditions of this small village are all that remain of our forefathers. A rich folk-christian heritage serves as an outstanding remainder of everything that was long ago respected, of a hard life, prayer and humility before God which all form a foundation from which new life prospered. Everyone celebrates holidays in their own way. In Rašćane too, there is a distinct way of celebrating God and the Holy Virgin and praising them for the wealth and peace which they provided. Although not necessarily residing in Rašćane, the children of the village move away carrying these thoughts on their minds. Most of them may have gone to live in the cities, but they never forget their origins. For them it represents their homeland, the mother they return to at the end of their paths to peacefully dream their everlasting dream. This homeland has instilled them with true values and it is up to them to decide whether they will make the most of that invaluable treasure.
