On Thursday, March 10, a lecture on Lent customs in Cavtat was held at the Bukovac House. The museum pedagogue Maris Stanović presented to the audience the abundance of church and folk customs and rituals connected to the Lent period. Although the Lenten tradition follows the usual liturgical and folk practices, the local characteristics that mark this pious and modest period of preparation for Easter are a reflection of Cavtat's identity and heritage of earlier times.

Special emphasis was placed on the exceptional artwork of Vlaho Bukovac, the so-called diorama of the Holy Sepulcher from 1902, composed of five superimposed scenery. Bukovac made it for the sanctuary of the parish church of St. Nicholas, where it is exhibited on Good Friday and is kept in the church’s museum. With its majestic painting and stage depiction of burial under ambient lighting within the darkened interior of the church, it arouses great interest and admiration of the faithful, to the pride of the people of Cavtat.
