The 100th Anniversary of salvation of the starving children from Herzegovina was commemorated with the Peace Walk, inspired by the walks Fr. Didak and his associates took, as well as all starving children who walked from different parts of Herzegovina to Mostar, where they were put on the trains for Slavonia and saved from the famine.
The participants of the Peace Walk were led from Fr. Didak’s birth house to the parish church in Gradnići by their parish priest, Fr. Nikola Rosančić, when they prayed and stopped at seven stations to meditate on the various texts Fr. Didak wrote to the authorities back in those days. This Peace Walk was held for the first time and they plan to make it the part of the traditional manifestation programme.
