When looking at the sights of Nin, I also noticed a very tall statue. The statue of Grgur of Nin is about six meters high and a great reach of the citizens of Nin. The Bishop of Nin is important to the Croats because he was a great supporter of the Old Slavic language and folk script of the Glagolitic language, as well as to all others who believed in the legend that it would bring them happiness or fulfill their wish. Over time, the monument became a matter of tradition and superstition – if you grab Grgur by the thumb and wish something, your wish will be fulfilled. Thousands of people do this regularly, and the thumb was given a different color, which at least makes it easy to find where you need to touch to try their luck. Of course I tried.

I was curious about the origin of the legend until later it became superstition…
I’ll check the origin of the legend a little
Please don’t assume it as homework, dear friend.
I’ll be happy to check it because I’m interested too ?
I am just a little bit superstitious but It’s more for fun than belief in it.
I’m not very superstitious either, but what a thing I try anyway
I like the statue and If I visited it, I would follow the tradition of course
Of course, I also followed the tradic tradition ?
Ok, regarding the coffee issue, the study says: “Coffee is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and phenylindane, a recently identified compound that researchers think may help fend off Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Drinking coffee has also been linked to reduced risks for several cancers, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Drink your coffee without sugar or processed syrups, and don’t make it too milky: the antioxidant value appears to drop when milk is added.”
Thank you so much for the clarification. I drink almost unsweetened coffee and without any additives. That means I drink “healthy” coffee ?
interesting tradition – I wonder why the thumb…
I don’t know why exactly the thumb. Maybe because it’s the biggest finger. ?
or it is the most uniquely human part…
One will try anything to better their luck superstitious or not..
I agree, Pamela. Some really do everything for happiness.
I would try, she can walk me. Nothing is ever certain.
I tried it too. We never know…. ?
Interesting looking statue and interesting traditions
I agree. This is a very interesting tradition.
I do not believe in superstitious
Is that you in the photo?
I’m not superstitious either. Yes, I’m in the picture.
I would do it for the photo op, but wouldn’t wish for anything
I did that for a photo too ?
As a germaphobe, I’d wish that I don’t catch anything, lol.
it hardly seems sanitary
