Description of the attraction
Island Sveta Nedelya is located one kilometer from the Petrovac city beach. This island is made of stone, it is quite small in size. It is located so that from the side of the Petrovac coast it is closed by another stone island - Katic, overgrown with pine trees. You can get here by swimming, on catamarans or a rented boat or speedboat.
On the island of Sveta Nedelya there is a temple with the same name as the island itself. Like many other places in Montenegro, an amazing legend is associated with this island and the church. She tells that once on this island during a storm sailors miraculously escaped. This amazing event took place on the last day of the week - Sunday, and in Serbian this word will sound exactly like "week", that is, the church was consecrated in honor of Holy Resurrection. After this event, the sailors literally built a church on bare stones, which to this day is considered a talisman for local sailors and fishermen.
In addition, the name of the church is a reference to the local saint - Martyr Nedelya, whose icon adorns the iconostasis of the Church of St. Elijah, which is located in the city of Petrovac.
