In folk cultureEdit
In the local folk tradition there is a legend that at one night church had changed its alleged original location from Grabež and moved to its present location on Cvišić hill.[1] There is also a story about Ottoman Sultan permission to build place of worship but only so big that it can be covered by one oxhide.[3] This limitation was overcome by craftiness, by cutting the skin on the rig.[3]
