- FAMOUS CROATS, PETAR HEKTOROVIĆ
- He included literary texts in the epistolary framework as letters to friends. Among the translations, his work Knjiga Ovidijeva od lika ljubenoga (1528) stands out the most, and in its accompanying epistle he presents his views on translation. It is assumed that he wrote love poems in the first phase of his literary career, but his preserved work reveals a man who thought about the futility of worldly possessions and God's grace (Tombstone of Frane Hektorović, etc.).

- EASTER 2022
- This year's Easter stamp of the Croatian Post features a painting of the Calvary by an unknown painter from the 18th century.

A number of famous painters worked in the Pauline Order, but, as Mirjana Repanić Braun says, there is no painting among their works in continental Croatia comparable to this one: it probably came from abroad.
