Sažetak
The paper deals with the worship of St. Liborius (St. Liberan) with a focus on the Neretva Valley as a centre of the saint’s piety in Croatia. The saint’s specific patronage in this area is much wider than the kidney stones, which St. Liberan is famous for in the rest of the world. An insight into the birth registers will try to define the time of the cult’s origin in the Neretva parishes. Analysis will show that the endings of epidemics of cholera and Spanish flu marked the beginning of the expansion of St. Liborius’ worship in this area. The connections of Croatian parishes with the diocese of Paderborn and its role in spreading the worship of St. Liberan in the second half of the 20th century will be presented.
