In May 1945, there were conflicting emotions on Slovenian territory: on one side, an overwhelming joy at the end of the four-year slaughter, while on the other, uncertainty and fear. The winner made it clear what would happen with his ideological opponents. On the way over Ljubelj and via Pliberk, all members of the family joined the retreating home guard army. More than twenty thousand Slovenians left the country; among them were several intellectuals, politicians, many of them belonged to the social, cultural and educational elite of the country. They settled in refugee camps in Austria and Italy – most of them believed that they would stay there three weeks at the most. However, camp barracks became their home for many – they stayed there for three, four years, until they were finally accepted by a foreign country.
In such difficult and uncertain situations after they had lost their homeland and many also their relatives, it would be expected that they would succumb to their fate, or that indifference would prevail – yet, it was far from that! We are shocked by the upsurge of an exceptional life power and creativity; it is reflected in the publishing of original literary works, school textbooks, newspapers, reprints of Slovenian classic authors, historical studies and memories. The first Slovenian historical atlas was written in the camp … Only a few days after their arrival in the camp, a folk (elementary) school was founded, and two weeks later, a Slovenian refugee gymnasium was opened. Several lectures and courses were organised, and many singing groups as well; their singing impressed even the BBC, while their theatrical performances attracted spectators from near and far.
The exhibition, which was originally presented in the National and University Library in Ljubljana, presents a rich creativity of Slovenians in extraordinary situations, in connection with the amazing stories of individuals whose paths crossed in exile. They were often invisible in their native country; they were ignored and forgotten for a few decades. However, by stressing their Slovenian origin, they contributed to the birth of new homelands around the world.

Marijino vnebovzetje
Nedelja, 15. avgusta ob 16:00 uri v Slovenskem Domu
se nas je nekaj zbralo v kapelici Slovenskega Doma v Londonu, da smo počastili praznik Marijinega vnebovzetja. Predstavili smo tri slovenske romarske poti:
Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja v Turnišču
Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja v Čatežu
in Cerkev Brezmadežne Device Marije v Kokri
Pogostili smo se s kraškim pršutom in domačimi salamami, večer pa je zaključil Tadej s slovenskimi pesmimi ob zvokih kitare.
Praznik Marije Device so v jeruzalemski Cerkvi začeli obhajati že kmalu po koncilu v Efezu leta 431 po Kr. in ga povezovali z Marijinim odhodom s tega sveta. Papež Pij XII. je versko resnico o Marijinem vnebovzetju slovesno razglasil šele leta 1950 z apostolsko konstitucijo Munificentissimus Deus. Številne cerkve po svetu – od mogočnih katedral do vaških in božjepotnih cerkvic – izpričujejo stoletno vero v Marijino vnebovzetje.
V Sloveniji je Mariji posvečenih veliko župnijskih, podružničnih, zlasti pa božjepotnih cerkva in kapelic, zato je Marijino vnebovzetje v našem verskem izročilu globoko zakoreninjeno.
Ob prazniku številni Slovenci romajo v Marijina svetišča. Romanja imajo globlji verski pomen zato, ker verujoče spominjajo, da je naše celotno zemeljsko življenje pravzaprav romanje. Marijino vnebovzetje pomeni poklon ženi, saj je Bog Marijo, ženo in mater, poveličal v nebesih. Katoliška Cerkev s praznovanjem tega praznika poudarja dostojanstvo in poklicanost vsake žene.
30 let samostojne Slovenije in Dan državnosti v Slovenskem domu
25. junija je naša država Slovenija proslavilo 30 let svoje samostojnosti, okroglo obletnico, ki jo je vsekakor potrebno proslaviti in obeležiti.
Tako smo se v soboto v Britaniji živeči Slovenci zbrali v našem Domu, da skupaj počastimo ta jubilej in se spominjamo naše domovine. Ob lepem vremenu smo se zbrali na našem vrtu, ki je v zadnjih tednih, ko nas je presenetilo kar nekaj dežja lepo pozelenel in ustvaril prijetno vzdušje. Dogodek smo začeli z lahkimi prigrizki, nekaj jih je bilo tudi domače izdelave, ter spoznavnim kramljanjem. Goste sta sprejemala Živa in njen fant v narodnih nošah, pri tem pa smo poslušali naše zimzelene uspešnice.
Sledil je kratek program, med katerim je vsak povedal, zakaj ima rad Slovenijo, svoje znanje o domovino smo preverili z zabavnim kvizom, zapela se je Zdravljica ter kratka molitev za domovino.
Za konec smo obiskovalce pogostili še z domačim govejim golažem in krompirjevimi njoki, vsak pa je s svojo udeležbo in angažiranostjo prispeval k prijetnemu večeru.

Binkošti v Slovenskem domu
Binkošti so praznik Svetega duha s katerim sklenemo velikonočni čas in potekajo 50. dan po Veliki noči. Na ta dan naj bi se Sveti duh v podobi goloba z ognjem spustil nad apostole in jim dal dar govora v različnih jezikih, tako, da so jih lahko vsi razumeli. Ljudje naj bi namreč od početka govorili vsi isti jezik in skupno delali, vendar jih je bog razkropil po zemlji in zmešal njihove jezike, da skupaj ne bi mogli biti vsemogočni. Na binkoštni dan so se spet zbrali skupaj in apostoli so jih nagovorili v vsem razumljivih jezikih. (more…)
Sveta maša v Slovenskem domu
