Talk:Blato, Korčula

Sveta Vincentia
This town's patron saint, is Sv. Vincentia, but I'm not finding a page to link her to on Wikipedia, nor any lists which have her. Is this because we don't yet have an article on this saint, or am I misspelling the name in some way? Does anyone have a source (in any language) which talks about her? --Elonka 04:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll have a go Elonka. Also I'm sorry about being a bit brief on the Curzola thing. Curzola is Korcula old name . Sir Floyd (talk) 05:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Correct spelling is St.Vincenca or St Vinceza. Sources:
 * Town Council Blato/Opcina Blato-www.blato.hr
 * www.ssblato.hr
 * Prizba-Apartments states:

"The most prominent is the Chivalrous Society "Kumpanija" (Companions), established in 1927. The chivalrous game called "kumpanija", is one of the most interesting traditions in Blato, and regularly takes place on the 28th of April, on St. Vicenza's Day (patroness of the town), whose bones were relocated to Blato two centuries ago by consent of the Pope Pio VI." taken from www.prizba-apartments.com

The Footprint Croatia‎ by Jane Foster source states: St.Vincenza (Saint Vincent). How interesting! Sir Floyd (talk) 13:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm also finding a fair number of Google hits for "Sv. Vincencija" and "Sv. Vincencija Pavelskega", but I'm not sure that's the same person, from the 17th century? It would be nice if we could find enough real sources for a stub though! --Elonka 17:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've found a scientific paper by hrcak.srce.hr and it was written by K.Teodosevic. St. Vincenca is a Roman martyr (from Rome itself), her remains were brought to Blato in 1795 (Page 1& 9). She was originally buried in the cemetery in Via Portuense, Rome. I think there are lots of early Christian Catacobs in that area. According to ssblato.hr (Blato High School Web Site) she lived in the 3rd century and died before the age of 17. Sir Floyd (talk) 15:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Good find! I think that's enough for a stub. Possible titles are:
 * Vincenca mučenica
 * Vincenca the Martyr
 * Vincenca of Blato
 * Or we could just use Saint Vincenca. The general guideline is not to use the word "Saint" in the article title (see Category:3rd-century Christian martyrs), but we should use whatever makes the most sense.  She should also be added to Chronological list of saints in the 3rd century. --Elonka 18:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * First preference-Saint Vincenca. Second-Vincenca of Blato. Sir Floyd (talk) 01:30, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Both sound good to me... Do you want to create the stub, or shall I? --Elonka 03:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Can I start it, please. I'll do it tonight (Aussie time) and then you can weave your magic. Sir Floyd (talk) 04:36, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

{History Blato, which literally means "mud", got its name from its neighbouring field which flooded on regular basis, until 1911..... It doesn't mean "mud".} Blato in old-slav/old-croatian language means "lake" (toponim "Balaton" for lake in Hungary came form the same origin). In south čakavian dialect of Blato, "kajuža" (kaljuža in standard croatina) is word for a mud! Please correst this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.147.122.58 (talk) 21:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
