Church in Vinkovci, Croatia
Church of Pentecost (Croatian : Hram silaska Duha svetoga , Serbian Cyrillic : Храм силаска Духа светога ) in Vinkovci is a Serbian Orthodox church in eastern Croatia . The church is one of two in the Eparchy of Osječko polje and Baranja that is dedicated to Pentecost . The original church, built in 1793, was destroyed in 1991 during the Croatian War of Independence ,[3] and an identical church was rebuilt in its place, in the period between 2007 and 2012.[3]
History
Construction of original Church of Pentecost in Vinkovci was completed in 1793.[3] In Vinkovci Serbian Orthodox Church in 1821 was baptized Josif Runjanin , composer of Lijepa naša domovino (Croatian national anthem) [3] and Sava Šumanović .[4]
Destruction and rebuilding
After war planes of the Yugoslav People's Army bombed targets in the center of Vinkovci on 24 September 1991, they badly damaged the local Catholic rectory.[3] A day later, in retaliation , the old Church of Pentecost was mined and razed to the ground after being robbed. The iconostasis and inventory was stolen and the church bells were missing for a long period of time.[3] A parking lot stood in the church's place until the beginning of reconstruction.[3]
During the initial phase of negotiations on the renewal with the local authorities, a wooden cross was erected at the location of the old church.[3] In 2007, the building of a new, identical Church of Pentecost began.[3] The final blessing and reinstatement in function happened in 2012.[1] In the meantime, the church restored a part of its looted original iconostasis, and an anonymous source reported the location of the old bells, which were then put in function.[3]
