southwest of Zagreb, situated on the
slopes of the Žumberak hills. Population 3,200 inhabtants in
33 settlements, some 700 in the main village of the same name.
Since the middle age a noble community, in the modern time it is
known populary as the "valley of cardinals", namely,
two of the most important Croatian cardinals were born there
(Alojzije Stepinac, cardinal since 1952, beatificated in 1998 and
Franjo Kuharic, cardinal since 1983).
The coat of arms of Krašic is: azure from
a hill vert a tree issuant and on it sitting a dove argent. This
coat of arms appears on the seals of the noble community of Krašici
since 1676, similar is painted also in the Zagreb city hall
around 1880 (see: <www.hgzd.hr>),
the modern design is largely based on the redention from
Laszowski's album of 1930's. The modern design is prepared by the
Herladic Art company from Rijeka.
There is certainly a flag to go with it, but for the moment, me
shall have to wait.
