Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 56.) is a village on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Smlednik is the site of the 18-hole Diners Golf Ljubljana golf course. It can accommodate up to 120 players at the same time. Name Smlednik was attested in written sources in 1136 as ''Fledinich'' (and as ''Vlednich'' in 1214 and ''Vlednic'' in 1228). The origin of the name is unclear. A possible derivation is from the common noun ' hog's fennel', referring to the local vegetation. Other explanations include the obsolete Slovene common noun 'watchpost', or the root ''*mlědъ'' 'deciduous woods' or 'sparse woods', but neither of these is linguistically convincing.

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] |
