Shhh! Don't let them hear you in Zadar. Here's an article from today on its archdiocesan website, with a view of what to the uninitiated would seem to be senior clergy actively engaged in the cult of sv. Kr¨evan (as Chrysogonus is known there):

Better, at Zadar. This Croatian city ceased to be an Italian possession in 1947. Continuing (as do many English-writing medievalists, esp. Crusades scholars) to use the once familiar Italian name Zara for the place as it exists to day seems somehow unobservant (unless, of course, you're Italian).

Links to other depictions of St. Chrysogonus will be found at the end of last year's notice of him (no. 1 at < http://tinyurl.com/73ml29x >).
