Fast forward to WWII, the Eternal Flame commemorates the sacrifices made and lives lost. It was dedicated on April 6, 1946 and can be found at the end of Sarajevo’s pedestrian street Ferhadija. Very early on January 2, 2011 the flame suddenly self-extinguished before a crowd of revelers. A passing tourist heroically re-ignited the flame less than 2...

We lived just an hour away from Padua, Italy where Saint Anthony himself is buried. And yet, here we were in Sarajevo, Bosnia standing in front of the Franciscan Church of Saint Anthony of Padua. On accident. We came across the church on our walk to the Sarajevska Pivara, Sarajevo’s brewery, for dinner. The church was built in 1914 to serve the loc...
