Abstract

In his Apostolic Letter Pacis Nuntius, published in October 24, 1964, Pope John VI proclaimed St. Benedict as Patron of Europe. It has been half a century since that symbolically and factually significant act. That anniversary was an impetus to present synthetically and descriptively what the Croatian historiography of that time had disclosed about the Benedictines. Moreover, the Order of Saint Benedict (OSB) has in many ways played an important role in the history of the Croatian people, just as much as the Benedictines have had a key role in the European past, first and foremost in spreading the Gospel in Europe.
