The village of Begunje na Gorenjskem celebrated two religious feasts at the end of the week: the feast of their patron saint, Bishop Saint Urh, on Saturday, July 4th, and the feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Slavic missionaries and patrons of Europe, on Sunday, July 5th. The local bishop, Archbishop Stanislav Zore, attended and led mass and gave a sermon. Dr. Matjaž Ambrožič, the parish priest, has compiled historical information about the three churches in Begunje, including their architectural styles and construction dates. The church of Saint Urh, built in the late 18th century, is noted for its Baroque design and artistic value, featuring paintings by Leopold Layer. The church is considered a significant monument to the faith of the local community. Historical details include the original bricks used in the roof, some dating back over 400 years. Archbishop Zore encouraged the community to cherish their spiritual heritage and continue living responsibly as Christians.
