Christmas concert of the Žejančići
20.12.2016.
The highlight of this year’s Christmas concert, held on 18 December 2016, was the meeting of Father Christmas with the children from Žejane, which was organised by the Municipal committee of Žejane. After the performance of the animators, the “Žejančići” performed a short program: they recited the poem Žejančići and sang Silent Night in the Zheyanski language, while Adrijana Gabriš, the head of the children’s language playgroup, recited her latest poem Božiću (Christmas). Antonio Kuharić, one of the Žejančići members, played the accordion adding to the happy and cheerful atmosphere. Father Christmas placed a lot of emphasis on the Zheyanski language, speaking to the children while giving out gifts. The Žejančići participants also received gifts from the Association “Žejane”, so they excitedly and happily continued socialising with refreshments organised by the Municipal committee. This cooperation between the Municipal committee and the children’s language playgroup “Žejančići” was assessed as particularly successful because it further contributes to the preservation of the Zheyanski language.
