croatian prayer before meals
Now you’re free… Okay, I lied. Hahaha! So many Croatians who maybe would like to pray before a meal are not comfortable doning it fearing negative comments and prejudice from the partys mentioned above.
All true, hhaha. Fun post SJ, enjoyed all the comments too!
The upshot is that houses can be stuffy and too hot and everyone in them gets sick!! It is simply not done unless you are in a very informal situation, like going to beach, etc. You’d be hard-pressed to find any Croatian family where there is not an emphasis on family, friends, and food. He thinks the propuh stories I tell him are hilarious. One of my cousins in Croatia even changes out of her wet bathing suit into a dry one, after a dip in sea. A few days ago I had a little rant on our Chasing the Donkey Facebook page, about how it was so nice that the warmer weather has returned, yet I was being nagged about how I was close to death by flip-flop.
Thanks Pim – but you are so much funnier than I. You splashed your face with cool water only. So wait, just a little to be sure you’re not digging into those stuffed peppers too early. On the flip side, it also means you’ll never see a man doing the dishes. By using our services, you agree to our use of cookies.

Your husband’s family sounds like my Italian family…, I really enjoyed reading this post and I did have a good giggle. Oh and we were never allowed to drink water after eating corn on the cob because we would die from some stomach ailment…..but if we did take a sip of water, rakija would always fix it. Just yesterday I told my mom I had a cold, and her first comment was “you must have gone out with wet hair”. Ha!
Apparantly they will casue colds/flu, stiff necks and maybe even the dreaded “Kreislaufkollaps” (literally “circulatory collapse” – a common ailment that seems to only affect Germans.
How many times I was told that I am ruining my hair or skin…”. Hi SJ, reading all the comments, it seems you’ve got a HIT here Great post, and yes I envy you for your English (my vocabulary is sufficient yet limited in both English and Croatian).
before and would lay the basis for the ultimate, Jehovino ime više nego ikada prije i položit će temelj za konačan, For Christians, dedication and baptism are necessary steps that lead to Jehovah’s, Predanje i krštenje koraci su koje kršćani moraju poduzeti ako žele.
According to my sources here in Croatia, the deadly propuh is likely to cause you all kinds of grief, if that delicate part on the back of your neck is bare when there is just the slightest hint of a draft. This is FUNNY and TRUE!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!! My daughter was ordered back inside to blow dry her hair because of the propuh while everyone waited in the car.
I guess, part of your experience is due the fact that Dalmatia is very very conservative. I remember being in an enclosed car on a 32C day in Zagreb with my second cousin, no AC (that will kill you too) – I was sweltering. I’ve even see one family do a full-fledged, hand-holding prayer at a fast-food court. When you visit a house in Japan, you will always always always be served tea/coffee and a small cookie or cake, and it is polite to finish what they give you. However where I come from, we don’t say prayers before eating, and my mother does all the hard work, while my father is telling her how it should be done. Over 3,000 Catholic prayers sorted by topic/keyword. I am so tired of self-proclaimed “Croatians” like you (usually born in neighbouring countries with zero traceable roots to Croatia) coming online with your rubbish Communist / Liberal rants. Now, I figure that she must have relaxed her approach to pestering about the propuh, because she came to her senses, and now knows that having two windows open at the same time in the bus, car or house creates a lovely fresh breeze, allowing one to breathe and it’s not a death trap.
Oops, meant to say “men do wash dishes here”, didn’t mean to imply it’s always men washing dishes round here, we’re not quite there yet. If you have already donated, we sincerely thank you. You’ve had a shower, you get dressed, and then you realize the time. They know that women come first. Lol hilarious.
), a ceremonial prayer invoking divine protection, a desirable state; "enjoy the blessings of peace"; "a spanking breeze is a boon to sailors", a short prayer of thanks before a meal; "their youngest son said grace", the formal act of approving; "he gave the project his blessing"; "his decision merited the approval of any sensible person". It's a little awkward to ask, but we need your help.
If you donate just $5.00, the price of your coffee, Catholic Online School could keep thriving. Your email address will not be published. Going out with wet hair is considered, hm, bad manners also. Suffering from such a neurological disorder must be so challenging. This is a really funny post, SJ! We were students at the time, so all of our money was going to paying for the inn. But propuh is just a pure sense. I loved this.
I don’t know how well I’d do in Croatia especially when it comes to the wind. Maybe not yours Tomislav. So when I do, you should heed the warning. Oh, and they always say grace before meal.
This is hilarious… I think when I eventually visit I will be chased by everyone telling me that everything is wrong. I have a comment regarding the glass of water – I’m actually studying to be a nutritionist right now, and I found out that you are not supposed to drink very much water with or after your meal.
My mother always made us eat bread and drink plenty of water in case a small bone should get could get caught in your throat. I’ve so enjoyed your posts as a Canadian Croatian. We live in Croatia, and are always exploring the region. Grace. All the other dining rules are spot on and can be seen live and in vibrant Technicolor during family luncheons with my in-laws. your kidneys will be exposed, you will catch a cold and die. Service, you don’t have to pay anything!” ^^; After that, they stuffed our packs full of food every day we stayed. Anyway, I am totally supporting the draft theory, so at least some of these will stay in the family! Wear a hat.
After the big 2011 earthquake, the called us, and asked if we were all right.
I never witnessed that. And after that a get this strange glaze… Also washing hair and showering every day is something not in place here. the act of declaring, seeking or bestowing favor; approval. I think I would get into trouble there. Thanks for stopping by Ombia, hope to see you back soon . Seriously, it reminds me of the Sicilian side of my family. It is all so familiar to customs I grew up with in Bangladesh as well..the grief I still get (I am an adult with two children) when I visit home and leave house with wet hair or heaven forbid let my kids get out not properly attired in warm clothes!! Odi u kurac!? Came upon our blog while nursing a wicked cold on my return from the homeland. Yes she now even giggles a little at the ‘rules’ , This is amazing! You would have thought I had just put a gun to his head. Not sure are you Croatian, but thank you, this is fun. I laughed till my sides fell off.Pozdrav iz Hrvatske. Ohh you made me giggle! I love reading all of this information related to customs and personal experiences that everyone has had…we have Croatian friends and would like to purchase a nice Christmas present and birthday present for the mother of the family…( she is around 52 years….) Failure to heed this warning will see you having to hear over and over again how you are too skinny; you must be hungry and so on. I too have a sock pairing issues. Instead of dictating to Croatians who they are, go and make peace with the fact that you and ALL your ancestors are Bosnian Catholics, okay?
Nice article, however a lot of this is really found in a quite conservative dalmatian family.
Another famous example was when we took a vacation to Hokkaido in the north. Catholic Grace Before Meals Prayer Father of us all, This meal is a sign of Your love for us: Bless us and bless our food, And help us to give you glory …
I went on to have 3 kids including twins born in Podgorica – speaking of which, a baby must be wrapped in as many layers as possible at all times of year & wear 3 nappies/diapers at once! These tasty treats are a European version of the famous Australian Lamingtons. This was such an interesting read but I also found some similarities with Filipinos in terms of Catholicism, family and food. If you donate just $5.00, the price of your coffee, Catholic Online School could keep thriving. My mother was Croatian; my father Serbian! It’s a total no-no. My mother nags me with draft (propuh), my dad don’t let me walk bare footed trough the house since I was a child – I’ll get an ammonia, although the house is perfectly warm… I can swear a LOT, especially with my family. My favorite one (yes, I have become one of ‘them’) is “Oh, did you not like the food”? One thing you missed though, that is that this post is tongue-in-cheek.
In any case, when you take your shoes off the host should give you slippers or something. Don’t you know (according to Croatian culture) says that a draft or propuh as it’s known in Croatian are deadly? Then your responsibility in return is not to decline… ever. Any unauthorized use, without prior written consent of Catholic Online is strictly forbidden and prohibited.
Omg.
I’d never heard about the fish ≠ water.
I’ll take over the role when she decides she’s too old to organize big family lunches. It’s so nice to learn more about other cultures but if your Croatian MIL is living here in Australia I’m please for her own comfort that she has relaxed on a few of these. When dining with (some) Croatians, you will need to wait for just a second to see if anyone will be saying a little pre-meal prayer. My friends visited me here heaving wet hair in the middle of Canadian winter and did not get flu or cold.
Hahahaha..So funny, I was laughing reading this. Actually, in my experience, a majority of Croats living in Bosnia and Herzegovina say grace before meal.
