Location City -  Vrnjacka Banja spa
State - 
Country - Serbia   Serbia
About At the dawn of the First World War,while the war was not even suspected yet,a schoolmistress Nada and a Serbian officer Relja started having deep feelings for each other,They fell in love indeed and made a commitment to each other,It was a love widely talked about,attracting the attention of all people at Vrnjacka Banja spa.
But the war did break out with all the horrors it entails. Relja went off to war fought in Greece.He left never to return on account of a beautiful Greek woman he had fallen in love with,and therefore broke up the engagement to Nada. The legend does not say anything about his further fate,whereas,on the other hand,every inhabitant of Vrnjacka Banja spa is familiar with Nada's destiny. Owing to overwhelming sorrow she faded away day after day and finally died,young and miserable.
Upset by Nada's destiny,girls,wishing to keep their own romances,started writing down their names of their names along with the names of their lovers on padlocks that they bound to the railing of the bridge which used to be the favourite meeting place of Nada and
Relja. Afterwards the keys were symbolically thrown into the river. New wars and sufferings came up. The story fell into oblivion,and girl's custom to”bind”their love become uncustomary had been the ease until Desanka Maksimovic,according to the stories of old residents of Vrnjacka Banja spa,while being on one of her numerous visits to Vrnjacka Banja spa,became acquainted with this tragic story,Inspired by it she wrote down one of her most beautiful love poems “A Prayer for Love”
Although we tend to forget things,this story remains to be unforgotten;and in order to prolong its existence the young couples kept on with the tradition of “binding” their love and it bridge itself got the name The Bridge of Love,

:))) A sad, but beautiful story of love and love lost Biljana...

What a wonderful tradition to resurface in almost 100 years later... We look sometimes for the need of *physical* assurance, as in the padlocks, to give us extra hope that our love will stay... For some, the giving of the heart seems not quite enough... We are but human...:)))

Wonderful *about* Biljana, you are exceptional with your words of history...:)))

Onie...

What a lovely bridge biljana...it looks like it's in a park area... and very nice place.
The history and story of how this bridge came 'about' is also equally interesting.... I love the idea of it is very romantic and a great symbol too... (( when it works))
Oh and love your macro of the binding of locks - as they are different tones... I wasn't for sure there were soo many together until viewing this image - Great job biljana...and 'Yes' Thank YOU soooo much for sharing your history :)) 8+++++++++
Hugssssss, Michele~
