Dan svetog Tripuna

Kotor, Montenegro

Feb 7, 2027Expected

Each year, the town of Kotor honors its patron, Saint Tryphon, who has watched over the city since the 9th century. Solemn services at his cathedral, dances by the Bokeljska Navy, and a procession of his relics fill the day, in a celebration of the saint who guards the town and its seafarers.

Media proof note

The Saint Tryphon's Day record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
