KRK

Znanost je potvrdila da maslinovo ulje ima
blagotvorno i za{titno djelovanje na gotovo sve tjelesne
sustave te da op}enito produ`ava `ivotni vijek.
Maslina, prekrasno drvo srebrnastih listova, cvijeta
`u}kasto – bijele boje ugodna mirisa i ko{tuni~ava
ploda mo`e do`ivjeti duboku starost i do dvije tisu}e
godina. Feni~ani su je prvi gojili i cijepili. Od Grka su
je presadili Rimljani, jedni i drugi su je {tovali i
posvetili bo`ici Ateni odnosno Minervi. To gr~evito
stablo ploda trpkog okusa uz simbol mira, postalo je i
simbol blagoslova, su`ivota, mudrosti kao i simbol
Mediterana. Od davnina i u na{im krajevima gran~ica
“drva predjela sun~ane jasno}e” znak je mira. Gran~ice
masline blagoslivlju se na Cvjetnicu u crkvi i nose u
procesiji, a ispleteni maslinov vjen~i} objesi se u ku}i
da u njoj bude Bo`jega mira, sre}e i blagoslova. Stari
su Grci maslinovo drvo toliko cijenili da ga ~ak ni
bogovima nisu `rtvovali. Prema mitovima maslina je
stablo novog `ivota povezano sa zimskim solsticijem i
mladim Suncem.
Mo`emo li zamisliti Jadran i Krk bez masline i bez
maslinova ulja? Danas u Hrvatskoj i na otoku Krku
ima znatno manje stabala maslina nego prije stotinjak
godina, no na sre}u ponovno se budi svijest o vrijednosti
masline. Obnavljaju se stari maslinici i sade
novi. Najljep{i maslinici na Krku prostiru se izme|u
Punta i Krka.
Uz izrazite dosege kulturnoga i urbanog naslije|a,
bogatstvo je Grada Krka u njegovu okru`enju;
oto~i}ima, maslinicima i pje{a~kim stazama na Prnidbi,
te {umovitim uvalama na zapadu u kojima samuju
ribarske brodice kao u Sv. Fuski ispod Pinezi}a pa
Torkulu, Valbiski, Sv. Jurju. Nad ovim pitomim
uvalama, dragocjenim odredi{tima i odmori{tima
brojnih nauti~ara razasula su se tiha sela s u{~uvanom
tradicionalnom arhitekturom poput Muraja,
Lakmartina, Korni}a, Vrha, Poljica, Linardi}a,
Milohni}a do sela Brzac
iznad slikovitog Glavotoka.
Polovicom 15. stolje}a
na Glavotoku je Matej
Bo{njak uredio samostan
franjevaca - tre}oredaca –
glagolja{a koji su u liturgiji
i ostalim podru~jima
`ivota i rada upotrebljavali
isklju~ivo glagoljicu.
Kratko vrijeme tu
su boravili i pavlini. U
sklopu samostana na
Glavotoku isti~e se crkva
Sv. Marije od Bezgre{noga
Za~e}a za ~iji se veliki
oltar vjeruje da potje~e iz
znamenite benediktinske
glagolja{ke opatije Sv.
Nikole kod Omi{lja. Crkva
se spominje 1277., a
pripadala je kr~kim knezovima.
Vjeruje se da su
Frankopani ovdje imali i
svoj dvorac.
addition to being a symbol of peace also became a
symbol of blessing, coexistence and wisdom as well as
a symbol of the Mediterranean. In this region too the
twig from the “tree from the region of sunny clarity”
has been a symbol of peace since time immemorial.
Olive twigs are blessed on Palm Sunday and carried in
the procession while an olive wreath is hung in the
house so that it may enjoy peace, happiness and blessing.
Ancient Greeks appreciated the tree to such an
extent that they did not even sacrifice it to the gods.
According to myth, the olive tree is the tree of new life
related to the winter solstice and the new Sun.
Can we even fathom the Adriatic and Krk without
the olive and olive oil? Today, in Croatia and on the
island of Krk there are significantly fewer olive trees
than there used to grow some hundred years ago. Fortunately,
however, the conscience of the value of the
olive is being aroused again. The old olive groves are
being recultivated and new ones planted. The most
beautiful olive groves on Krk are located between
Punat and Krk.
In addition to the striking achievements of the cultural
and urban heritage, the wealth of the town of
Krk lies in its surroundings: the islets, olive groves,
and paths at Prnidba, the wooded coves on the west in
which await secluded fishing boats, such as those in
Sv. Fuska beneath Pinezi}i, Torkul, Valbiska and Sv.
Juraj. Above these gentle coves, precious destinations
and resting spots of numerous boaters, the quiet villages
are scattered boasting a preserved traditional
architecture, among them Muraj, Lakmartin, Korni},
Vrh, Poljice, Linardi}i, Milohni}i and the village of
Brzac above the picturesque Glavotok. At Glavotok in
the mid-15 th century Matej Bo{njak opened a
monastery of the Franciscans – Tertiaries – Glagolitic
monks who were using exclusively the Glagolitic in the
liturgy and other spheres of life and work. Within the
complex of the monastery
at Glavotok stands out
the church of Holy Mary
of the Immaculate Conception
whose large altar
is believed to come from
the famous Benedictine
Glagolitic Abbey of St.
Nicholas near Omi{alj.
The church was mentioned
in 1277 and it belonged
to the dukes of
Krk. It is believed that the
Frankopans also owned a
castle here. In proximity
of the monastery, above
the ^avlena cove, in the
lush vegetation beneath
Milohni}i there hides one
of the pearls of the early
architecture of the island
– the church of St. Kr{evan.
The entrance, the
nave and three apses of
this church are shaped
