Bosnian Legends

The pigeon is a bird dedicated to sun which is proven by this legend, namely the pigeon gained its enviable reputation according to legend after the great flood. Noa, wishing to find out if the water receded from the land sent a raven, but the raven lured by the smell of dead animals started feasting on them forgetting to return to the ark. Then he sent a pigeon to scout and he quickly returned with good news that the water receded. That's why Allah stroked his head and on his neck the golden glow remained on his feathers.

RAHIMINO TURBE

The legend from Srebrenik mentions that in the village Sladna Rahima (Raha) lived, an extremely pious woman with a big heart who didn't have nothing besides a small humble house and two cows. But, her poverty was never an obstacle to feeding a hungry man and to help where help is needed not caring much about the other persons religion or nationality. When she died, on the seventh night after the burial, on her tomb unexplainable lights appeared (nur) which shone for the next 40 days illuminating everything around the grave. Because of that miracle the people declared her a saint and decoded to build a mausoleum (turbe) for which people in Srebrenik still today claim that it protects them from every evil.
