Austrian man changed his religion because of love in Cacak: Heinz baptized, he became Sava, and then he married Julija (PHOTO)
He said right away "It's ok!"
People are prepared to do anything for love, even to renounce their religion and receive Orthodoxy, marry in a foreign country and to change their name.
Austrian Heinz Habe can say that he did precisely that, who was baptized and married in Cacak, far from his hometown, the Catholic Church, and usual Vienna practices.
- When he changed his religion, he got a new baptized name. He was thinking about several traditional Serbian names, but he found that each one has a fault. In the end, at the entrance to the Orthodox chapel, we read the name, Sveti Sava. I explained to him that it was our great martyr, the saint, and the monk, what he liked it. He immediately said "It's ok!", so now he responds to the name Sava - our businessman and his godfather explains this through a smile, Zoran Kalabic.
As he said, he is also the one "to blame" for connecting Heintz and his better half Julija.
- I introduced them to each other three years ago, and when I connect someone, that is forever! He is a respectable police officer, whose actions were noticed and rewarded in public, by the president of Austria, and from the city of Vienna. Heinz is a great admirer of Serbia and the Serbs, he is constantly fighting for vulnerable, weaker people in trouble... Our customs are interesting to him, he has read about Orthodoxy, and even lives near the Orthodox Church in Vienna - said the cheerful godfather who is already preparing for new celebration - wedding.
The friendship of Austrian and Serb dates 25 years in the past, according to Karabic, when he met Heinz who was a goalkeeper, while he was a vice president of a football club.
