Serbian Americans

expand_more Description

Serbian Americans are an ethnic minority in the United States. They live mostly in the industrial and mining centers of the United States Midwest and Great Lakes region, as well as in California. Serbian Americans today are represented in most American occupations. Among Serbian Americans the single most meaningful institution and the most important center of community life has always been the Serbian Orthodox Church. They continue to regard the celebration of the patriline patron saint, the slava, as a uniquely Serbian ritual and of equal importance to Easter and Christmas.
