Ever since the year 972 the feast day of St.Blaise the Dubrovnik patron saint, has been a quite special festival, typical of Dubrovnik. A series of church and secular concerts, exhibitions, book presentations and theatre guest performances are dedicated to the patron saint of Dubrovnik, whose statues look at us from the city walls and gates and whose caring hand guards Dubrovnik on his palm. February the 3rd is a St.Blaise’s day but the celebration lasts the whole week.
