Mitovi i flora 2020. - Božica Vesna i maslačak / HP Mostar /Myths and flora 2020 - Goddess Vesna and the dandelion

Vesna je slavenska božica proljeća i mladosti, koja donosi proljetnu radost nakon hladne zime. Ona ima moć nad toplinom sunca koja obnavlja prirodu u kojoj sve raste i cvjeta u proljeće. Zemlja se otvara i uspostavlja se živa veza između flore i podzemlja, gdje su skrivena biljna blaga i bogatstvo. Vesna pomiruje srce i um i poboljšava zdravlje koje je bilo narušeno tokom zime. Dolaskom proljeća ljudi postaju dobri i nježni, njegujući poštovanje i prijateljstvo jedni prema drugima. U čast božice Vesne djevojke su se oblačile u odjeću od trave i cvijeća. Cvijet joj je maslačak, a ptica lastavica.

Maslačak (Taraxacum) je zeljasta trajnica iz porodice tratinčica. Ima nazubljeno lišće u bazalnoj rozeti iz koje izlazi stabljika sa žutom cvjetnom glavom. Nakon cvatnje, sjeme se pojavljuje u obliku zračne kugle s brojnim sjemenkama. Raste na livadama, uz ceste, u parkovima i vrtovima. Svi dijelovi maslačka (korijen, cvjetnica i cvijet) su ljekoviti, a njegova ljekovita svojstva ovise o sezoni. Mladi listovi maslačka koriste se za pripremu salate, a od cvjetova priprema se sirup nalik medu.     

Hrvatska pošta Mostar izdala je prigodnu poštansku marku u bloku od 1 marke, poštansku marku i omotnicu prvog dana (FDC).

Vesna is the Slavic goddess of spring and youth, who brings spring joy after a cold winter. She has power over the warmth of the sun that renews nature, in which everything grows and blooms in spring. The earth opens and a living connection is established between the flora and the underworld, where plant treasures and wealth are hidden. Vesna reconciles the heart and the mind, and improves health which was impaired during the winter. With the arrival of spring, people become good and gentle, nurturing respect and friendship for one another. In honour of goddess Vesna, girls used to dress in clothes of grass and flowers. Her flower is the dandelion, and her bird is the swallow.

The dandelion (Taraxacum) is an herbaceous perennial from the daisy family. It has serrated leaves in a basal rosette, from which a stem with a yellow flower head emerges. After flowering, the seed appears in the form of an aerial ball with numerous seeds. It grows in meadows, along roads, in parks and gardens. All parts of the dandelion (root, flowering plant and flower) are medicinal, and its healing properties depend on the season. Young dandelion leaves are used to prepare salad, and honey-like syrup is prepared from the flowers.

Croatian Post Mostar has issued a commemorative postage stamp in a block of 1 stamp, a postmark and first day cover (FDC).

Hrvatska pošta / EUROPA Stare poštanske rute - EUROPA Old postal routes

Stare poštanske rute – Majstorska cesta Pouzdana i pravodobno prenesena vijest oduvijek je bila važan čimbenik u pokretanju i razvitku svih važnih procesa unutar ljudskog društva. Preduvjet svakog organiziranog prijenosa vijesti postojanje je dobrih i prohodnih prometnica, stoga je povijest starih poštanskih ruta u Hrvatskoj velikim dijelom i povijest starih hrvatskih cesta. Za vrijeme velikog i moćnog Rimskog Carstva, glasovitog po sustavu dobro organiziranih i uređenih cesta, i prostor današnje Hrvatske dobiva svoje prve kvalitetne prometnice. Cestama koje su prolazile dolinom Drave i Save u tadašnjoj rimskoj provinciji Panoniji, kao i onima uz jadransku obalu u provinciji Dalmaciji prometovala je glasnička organizacija cursus publicus... više na post.hr

Old postal routes - the old road Majstorska Cesta Trusted and timely news have always been an important factor in the initiation and development of all the important processes in human society. The prerequisite for any organized transfer of news is existence of good, passable roads, which is why the history of old postal routes in Croatia corresponds largely with the history of old Croatian roads. It was during the mighty Roman Empire, which was famous for its system of well-organized and well-maintained roads, that the territory of modern-day Croatia got its first good-quality roads. Roads that passed along the valleys surrounding the rivers Drava and Sava in the then-province of Pannonia, as well as those that stretched along the Adriatic coast in the province of Dalmatia, were traversed by a courier service called cursus publicus... more on post.hr

HP MOSTAR Arheološko blago 2020.-Radimlja / Archaeological treasure 2020.-Radimlja

Nekropola stećaka Radimlja nalazi se u Vidovu polju kod Stoca i nacionalni je spomenik Bosne i Hercegovine. Broji 133 stećka, koji se datiraju u 15. i 16. stoljeće, i ubraja se u najznačajnije nekropole stećaka. Najviše ih je u obliku „sanduka“ i „sljemenjaka“, a 63 stećka su ukrašena. Motivi su arkade i muške figure s uzdignutom rukom, križevi i stilizirani križevi, povijene lozice s trolistom, štitovi s mačem, zatim scene lova, plesa, dvoboja te drugi ornamenti ili figuralni prizori. Natpisi na hrvatskoj ćirilici ili bosančici upućuju na to da je nekropola pripadala plemićkoj obitelji Hrabena - Miloradovića. Također, trojica klesara Miogost, Bolašin Bogavčić i Ratko Brativoić uklesali su svoja imena. U neposrednoj blizini nekropole nalazi se veći broj ilirskih tumulusa što ukazuje na kontinuitet sahranjivanja i nastavak tradicije pokapanja uz stare grobove. Nekropolu presijeca cesta izgrađena za vrijeme austrougarske uprave u Bosni i Hercegovini, a pretpostavlja se da je izgradnjom ceste uništeno 20-ak spomenika.

Hrvatska pošta Mostar izdala je redovitu poštansku marku u arku od 20 maraka, žig i omotnicu prvoga dana (FDC).

The stećak necropolis Radimlja is situated in the Vidovo polje near Stolac and is a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has 133 stećak tombstones dating back to the 15th and 16th century, and it is one of the most important stećak necropolis. Most of them are in crest form as well as in “sljemenjak” form (similar to a sarcophagus), while 63 stećak tombstones are decorated. The motifs are arcades and male figures with raised hands, crosses and stylized crosses, bent vines with a trefoil, shields with a sword, also scenes of hunting, dancing, duelling and other ornaments or figural scenes. Inscriptions in the Croatian Cyrillic or the Bosančica (Bosnian Cyrillic) indicate that the necropolis belonged to the noble family of Hraben – Miloradović. Also, three stone carvers Miogost, Bolašin Bogavčić and Ratko Brativoić carved their names. In the immediate vicinity of the necropolis is a large number of Illyrian tumuli, which indicates the continuity of burial and the continuation of the burial tradition along the old graves. The necropolis is intersected by a road built during the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it is estimated that some 20 monuments were destroyed by this road construction.

Croatian Post Mostar has issued a definitive postage stamp in a sheet of 20 stamps, a postmark and first day cover (FDC).
