Noć sv. Lovre - najromantičnija noć ljeta<br />
St Lawrence’s night - the most romantic night of the summer<br />
Romantični Mediteran u<br />
srcu Rovinja<br />
Romantic Mediterranean in the Heart of Rovinj<br />
U noći svetoga Lovre, kada se nebo okiti milijunima zvijezda koje<br />
padaju, fenomen koji se milenijima ponavlja uvijek istog dana, 12.<br />
kolovoza svake godine, Rovinj živi posebne doživljaje. Nebeski događaj<br />
poznat u narodu pod imenom “Suze sv. Lovre” Rovinj pretvara u<br />
najromantičniji grad na Mediteranu.<br />
S trgova i ulica dopire glazba - prsti što prebiru po gitari, etno napjev,<br />
vječne melodije vrhunskih interpreta što podcrtavaju romantiku<br />
noći prepune romantike... Topla ljetna noć Mediterana pretvara se u<br />
veličanstveni spektakl zvijezda, svjetla, zvuka i ljubavi...<br />
Sveti Lovro živio je u 3. stoljeću u Rimu i bio je jedan od sedmorice<br />
uglednih rimskih đakona. Crkveno blago koje mu je bilo povjereno na<br />
čuvanje podijelio je siromasima, pa ga je rimski imperator Valerijan<br />
dao uhititi, mučiti i spaliti na roštilju. To se dogodilo 10. kolovoza 258.<br />
godine.<br />
Meteorska kiša Perzeida događa se upravo u dane mučeništva svetog<br />
Lovre, pa su ljudi toj pojavi dali ovo neobično, ali prekrasno ime.<br />
Meteorska kiša najljepše se vidi u noći maksimuma i to pred zoru<br />
između dva sata ujutro i izlaska Sunca. Najbolje je otići na neko<br />
nenaseljeno mjesto, gdje je potpuni mrak i naravno uz dobro društvo.<br />
Rovinj nam 12. kolovoza otvara svoje toplo srce prepuno romantične<br />
ljubavi i spremno nas vodi u noć kada zvijezde padaju i kada je<br />
sve moguće... Čak i da se ostvare najskrivenije želje, zapisane u<br />
zvijezdama.<br />
In St Lawrence’s night, when millions of shooting stars adorn the skies<br />
due to a phenomenon which has been repeating for millennia, each<br />
year on the same day, on 12 August, Rovinj hosts special events. This<br />
celestial event, known by the locals as “St Lawrence’s tears”, turns<br />
Rovinj into the most romantic town in the Mediterranean.<br />
Here and there, you will hear music coming from the squares and<br />
alleys - the sounds of fingers plucking the strings of the guitar, ethno<br />
tunes, eternal melodies of superior performers that highlight the<br />
romance of this romantic night... The warm Mediterranean summer<br />
night becomes a magnificent spectacle of stars, light, sounds and<br />
love...<br />
Saint Lawrence lived in the 3rd century in Rome and was one of<br />
seven prominent Roman deacons. The Church’s treasure, which he<br />
was entrusted, he gave to the poor, and the Roman Emperor Valerian<br />
had him arrested, tortured and burned on the grill. This happened on<br />
the 10th of August 258 AD.<br />
Meteor Rain Perseids occurs precisely on the days of martyrdom<br />
of St. Lawrence, therefore people gave this unusual phenomenon<br />
a wonderful name.Meteor Rain is best seen during the night of<br />
maximum: pre-dawn, between 2 a.m. and sunrise. It is best to go<br />
to some uninhabited place, where there is nothing but complete<br />
darkness, but of course with good company.<br />
On August 12, Rovinj will open up its warm heart, a heart full of<br />
romantic love, and readily lead us into the night of shooting stars<br />
when anything is possible, even that the most hidden of wishes,<br />
written in the stars, come true.<br />
