Celebration of Diva’s Day

Legend has it that once in this region lived a girl of exceptional beauty named Diva Grabovčeva. Her beauty was noticed by the Turkish Tahir-beg Kopčić, who proposed to her, but she refused to marry him, which ultimately cost her life.

Diva became a symbol of purity, martyrdom, and Catholicism. She was buried on Vran mountain, and in 1998, a bronze monument was erected on her grave, the work of sculptor Kuzma Kovačić.

According to ancient tradition in the region of Rama, the first Sunday after the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul is celebrated as “Divin dan,” a day dedicated to Diva Grabovčeva. On this occasion, a large number of believers from various parts of Bosnia and neighboring Croatia gather at Kedžara.
