Sažetak
The book by Ivan Marković Sinj and its celebrations was written to mark
the 200th anniversary of the arrival of Christian people with the painting of Our Lady from Rama in Sinj and the Cetinska Krajina in 1687. This event is associated with two major issues of Sinj’s recent history: the beginning of the construction of Sinj and the defence of the city from the Turks in 1715. The celebration of the important anniversary has become a famous event in the long history of Sinj and the Cetinska Krajina, to which Marković’s book is an eloquently written document. It is divided into two parts, the first of which gives a brief history of the Sinj region
and the second provides a description of the celebration of Our Lady, with some poetic compositions which corroborate the celebration. The contents of Marković’s book confirm that our Lady of Sinj and the Alka, as well as the feasts and events related to them are the key images for the Sinj and Cetina identification. Therefore, talking about Sinj and its region unavoidably evokes Marković’s book, in which the celebration and its activities, tailored by the inspiration of the author, are even more
strenghtened. The paper focuses on the elements which "document" the recognition of Sinj among other communities, without which the spiritual treasure trove of the people, which is actually its national identity, would be unimaginable.
