Dubrovnik was awaken this morning, the morning of the day of St Blaise, by the sounds of the Dubrovnik Musketeers as their salvos echoed around the ancient walls. The Dubrovnik Brass Band played on the Stradun and the church bells rang, the day of the patron saint of Dubrovnik was here.
The morning mass was held in the St. Blasie Church, a church filled with parishioners and banners. At 10 o’clock the mass began with the Papal Envoy, Cardinal Vinko Puljic.
