The tradition is an important ethnic marker of Serbian identity. [11] The slogan: Где је слава, ту је Србин (Gde je slava, tu je Srbin, lit. ' Where there is a Slava, there is a Serb ') was raised as a Serbian national identifier by Miloš Milojević after his travel to Kosovo and Metohija in 1871–1877. [11]
The holiday was institutionalized by the church in 1849 and politically and publicly first celebrated in 1851 as a representation of the struggle for Serbian freedom from Ottoman subjection. [5] It slowly achieved popularity with the growth of national identities in Europe in the nineteenth century and came to be known as a day of remembrance.
