SLOVENIA: Slovene Cultural Holiday- 8th February


Halina Bednarz 2007-02-18


On this Day in 1849, France Prešeren, Slovenia’s greatest poet, was born in Kranj. To honour him Slovenes chose this day to be their cultural day. The text of the Slovene national anthem is the seventh stanza of a Toast by him. And this is our national anthem:

Let's drink that every nation
Will live to see that bright day's birth
When neath the sun's rotation
Discent is banished from the earth,
Kill will be
Kinfolk free
With neighbours none in enemity

Our greatest poet presented on 2 euro Slovenian coin


France Preseren and his poems
His poems have been translated into several different languages. Would you be so kind and check in your library for his book of poems?
