Sinji Vrh
Sinji Vrh (; german: Schweinberg''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 10.) is a village in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region. Name Sinji Vrh was attested in written sources in 1444 as ''Schonperg'' (and as ''Sweinperg'' in 1457). Based on the medieval German transcriptions, the Slovene name was probably originally ''Svinji Vrh'' (literally, 'hog peak'), referring to swine that foraged there. However, it is also possible that the name comes from the adjective ''sinji'' '(light) blue', referring to pigmentation of the soil. The settlement was known as ''Schweinberg'' in the past in German. See also ''Sinja Gorica'', ''Svino'', ''Vinje pri Moravčah'', and ''Zavino'' for similar names. Church The local par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flag Of Slovenia
The national flag of Slovenia ( sl, zastava Slovenije) features three equal horizontal bands of white (top), blue, and red, with the Coat of arms of Slovenia located in the upper hoist side of the flag centered in the white and blue bands. The coat of arms is a shield with the image of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, in white against a blue background at the center; beneath it are two wavy blue lines representing the Adriatic Sea and local rivers, and above it are three six-pointed golden stars arranged in an inverted triangle which are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Celje, the great Slovene dynastic house of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The flag's colors are considered to be Pan-Slavism, Pan-Slavic, but they actually come from the Middle Ages, medieval coat of arms of the Duchy of Carniola, consisting of 3 stars, a mountain, and three colors (red, blue, yellow). crescent.

Sinja Gorica
Sinja Gorica (; german: Schweinbüchl''Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung'', no. 141. 24 November 1849, p. 68. or Schweinsbüchel, later ''Scheinbüchel'') is a settlement immediately northwest of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. The settlement consists of two parts: the older part stands to the southeast, built around the foot of a hill and along the road to Blatna Brezovica. The newer part, the hamlet of Sap, stands along the main road from Vrhnika to Ljubljana. Name Sinja Gorica was first mentioned in written sources in 1414 under the German name ''Sweinpuhel'' (literally, 'pig hill'), and as ''Sweinpůhel'' in 1418, ''Singa goriza'' in 1474, and ''Sweinpuhl'' in 1496. Based on the oldest transcriptions of the name, it is likely that the Slovene name is derived from the adjective ''*svinь(jь)'' 'pig' and that the name may have referred to a hill where pigs foraged. A less likely theory is that the German name was a mistranslation of the Slovene adjective '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Parish Church
A parish church (or parochial church) in Christianity is the church which acts as the religious centre of a parish. In many parts of the world, especially in rural areas, the parish church may play a significant role in community activities, often allowing its premises to be used for non-religious community events. The church building reflects this status, and there is considerable variety in the size and style of parish churches. Many villages in Europe have churches that date back to the Middle Ages, but all periods of architecture are represented. Roman Catholic Church Each diocese (administrative unit, headed by a Bishop) is divided into parishes. Normally, a parish comprises all Catholics living within its geographically defined area. Within a diocese, there can also be overlapping parishes for Catholics belonging to a particular rite, language, nationality, or community. Each parish has its own central church called the parish church, where religious services take pla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zavino
Zavino () is a small village in the hills south of the Vipava Valley in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name Zavino was first attested in written sources in 1763–87 as ''Svina''. The name is derived from ''*Svinjino (selo)''—literally, 'pig (village)'—indicating that the people of the village raised pigs. The form ''Zavino'' was an artificial modification of the name to avoid the association with pigs, but the original root is still preserved in the name of Svinjšček Creek, which runs west of the village. Local variations of the village name include ''Svinino'', ''Svinno'', and (dissimilated) ''Svilno''.

Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
