Common things you'll find in Croatian homes all around the world. Picture of Croatia within her true historical ethnic borders and portraits of Croatian rulers. A scroll of the Croatian national anthem "Lijepa Nasa" or " Our Beautiful Homeland" Portrait by Oton Ivekovic depicting King Tomislav's crowning on Duvno field in Bosnia. Vucedol trinket. Also symbolizes Vukovar in memory of the town's history and the victims of Greater Serbian aggression. Jesus and Mary portraits and iconography symbolizing Catholic Croats' religiosity which is generally strong. Non-Catholic Croats such as Muslims and Orthodox also have a strong religious persuasion though most have fallen out with the Croatian identity unfortunately. Croats love homemade or imported Olive Oil , usually from Croatia. You'll see these bottles all over Croatian kitchens. Catholic Cross , what else? A portrait of Dubrovnik. Typically you will see portraits and paintings of whatever town in Croatia the family is from. Dubrovnik could also be Zagreb , Split , etc. More to come .

For those who made this icon. This is what happens when you have Nordicists in your country, they try to steal other's culture and people, just like with Jesus Christ and vergin Mary, very Hebrew looking indeed. It seems that the old Viking pirates of the north haven't change yet, you still steal...rape...kill...and then run away. You are the disgrace of Europe, you Nordic Barbarians. When we had these icons you where still on the trees.

Hellenas, icons were made in order to fit country's own needs. No one really knows how Jesus Christ looked, so those last two icons you've dropped probably aren't accurate as well.

Anyway, Jesus was supposed to look like the average Joe. Not too handsome, not too ugly. He would have looked quite plain. The fact that every country has their own image of Jesus and that he usually looks more like them could tell us this: That it's basically how it's supposed to be, Jesus isn't supposed to have one look. That's how I see it. Not that I believe in this, I'm more of an agnostic, shifting from agnostic-theist to agnostic-atheist depending on how I see things.

Just your type of man hahahaha ;D Ulf, Greeks were one of the first to convert to Christianity...they were also very present in the Bible & I'd like to say that even if he didn't look exactly the way they present him, he looked much more like that then like the way the Catholics & Protestants view him...not that it's really important.

It seems like the link doesn't work. Btw, Cikola. We use vegeta in absolutely everything. At least in my family we do. And I like it as a kid I used to taste it completely by itself.
