- Until the lightning strike, this oak writings, according to our ancestors, around 350 and 400 years old, had a lavish green foliage. Just like the one my grandpa Stevan remembered, who was born in 1887, and died in 1974, and the locals of other countries, all of us and our children. Offerings were places there, but never blood sacrifices, only milk - said local Vojislav.

People are desperate for the oak on the hill Ocic, who was cut this winter for firewood.
