Božić Foto: BrankoJanackovic Ovo je riča o ljubavi i njenoj snazi, razornoj moći emocija i ljudske tuge, priča o dvoje mladih koji su se zavoleli i čijoj je ljubavi došao kraj. To je priča o oficiru Relji i mladoj učiteljici Nadi, koji su se zavoleli i zaručili i sastajali često na jednom od dvadesetakmostova koji spajaju obale Vrnjačke reke. Čitava Vrnjačka Banja pričala je o snažnoj ljubavi između Nade i Relje i činilo se da njihovoj sreRomansa u Vrn jačkoj Ban j i Romance i n Vrn j ačk a Ban j a Zaključajte svoju ljubav na mostu / Lock your love to the bridge Iz Vrnjačke Banje dolazi nam legenda stara više od stotinu godina, koja se i danas prepričava i slavi na Mostu ljubavi / Coming to us fromVrnjačka Banja is a legend that dates back more than a century and is still recounted and celebrated on the Bridge of Love T his is a tale of love and its strength, the destructivepower of emotions andhumansadness; a tale of two young people who fell in love andwhose lovemet its end. It is the tale of an army officer called Relja and a young teacher called Nada, who fell in love and bequeathed themselves to one another, and who would meet often on one of the 20-odd bridges connecting the two banks of the Vrnjačka River. The whole of Vrnjačka Banja spoke about the powerful love between Nada and Relja, and it seemed as though nothing could get in the way of their happiness. But thenwar brokeout, one that contemporariesdubbed the Great War, and Relja, as an officer, was sent to the battlefield in Greece. While serving on the front, Relja fell in love with a beautiful Greek woman and broke off his engagementwithNada, and the legend tells us nothing more about his life. AlthoughRelja’s subsequent fate remainsunknown, the fate of Nada the teacher unfolded quickly and in full view of all Vrnjačka Banja residents. Unable to overcome the loss of Relja’s love, the young teacher died of a broken heart. Deeply shocked by the fate of the unfortunate Nada, the girls of Vrnjačka Banja began visiting the once happy couple’s favourite meeting place: a bridge, where they began securing padlocks to the railing in the belief that they would thereby protect their own love for all eternity. The memory of Nada’s gloomy fate faded over the years and was under threat of being completely forgotten, that was until the arrival of DesankaMaksimović in Vrnjačka Banja. This famous Serbian poetess fell in love with thishealthresort duringher veryfirst visit, andcontinued to be a regular visitor. That’s also how she found out about the legend of Relja and Nada, and that story had such a strong impression on her that it was in Vrnjačka Banja that she wrote one of her most beautiful poems, inspired by their lives: A Prayer for Love. This work served to restore the memory of Nada’s tragic love, and the bridge where these two young lovers would meet began to awaken the interest of tourists.The story soon led to the resurrecting of an old customof lockingpadlocks on that bridge. Itwas christened with a symbolic name, The Bridge of Love, and the concrete part of the railing was adorned with a plaque containing a passage from Desanka’s famous poem. This bridge’s railing, which is just tenmetres long, is covered with thousands of lockedpadlocks that preserve the stories of many loving relationships. boli Relju, mlada učiteljica umire od tuge. Duboko potresene sudbinom nesrećne Nade, devojke iz Vrnjačke Banje posećuju omiljeno sastajalište nekada srećnog para – most na čije ograde zaključavaju katance verujući da će tim činom za čitavu večnost sačuvati svoju ljubav. Kako su godine prolazile, sećanje na tužnu Nadinu sudbinu bledelo je preteći da sasvim padne u zaborav sve dok u Vrnjačku Banju nije stigla Desanka Maksimović. Čuvena srpska pesnikinja se već tokom svoje prve posete zaljubila u ovo lečilište, u koje je potom često dolazila. Tako je i saznala za legendu o Relji i Nadi i ta je priča ostavila tako jak utisak na nju, da je inspirisana njihovim životima u Vrnjačkoj Banji napisala jednu od svojih najlepših pesama „Molitvu za ljubav“. Obnovilo se sećanje na tragičnu Nadinu ljubav, a most na kom su se sastajali počeo je da budi interesovanje turista. Uskoro je sa pričom vaskrsao i stari običaj zaključavanja katanaca. Kršten je simboličnim nazivomMost ljubavi, a na betonskom delu njegove ograde postavljena je ploča sa odlomkom iz Desankine pesme „Molitva za ljubav“. Danas na ogradi ovog mosta, dugačkog svega desetak metara, stoji zaključano više hiljada katanaca koji čuvaju priče o ljubavi. ći ništa ne može stati na put. Ali izbija rat, koji su savremenici zvali Velikim, pa Relju, budući da je bio oficir, šalju na bojište u Grčku. Na frontu se Relja zaljubljuje u prelepu Grkinju, raskida svoje zaruke sa Nadom i o njegovom životu nakon toga legenda više ne govori ništa. Iako je Reljina dalja sudbina nepoznata, sudbina učiteljice Nade rasplitala se ubrzano i naočigled svih stanovnika Vrnjačke Banje. Ne mogavši da preMost ljubavi inspiracija je za manifestaciju „Poljubi me“ i za muzički festival „Love fest“ The Bridge of Love serves as the inspiration behind the event “Kiss Me”, as well as the Love Fest music festival
