    Slava is a continuation of Lares.

    Lares were Illyrian tradition of venerating ancestors as protectors of certain things. While Church destroyed most of Lares veneration, Illyrians and Thracians being divided in tribes and living inferior
    lives continued that traditions even when Slavic influence arrived under new name SLAVA!

    "Lares (/ˈlɛəriːz, ˈleɪriːz/;[1] Latin: Larēs [ˈla.reːs], archaic Lases, singular Lar), were guardian deities in ancient Roman religion. Their origin is uncertain; they may have been hero-ancestors, guardians of the hearth, fields, boundaries, or fruitfulness, or an amalgamation of these."

    "Lares were believed to observe, protect and influence all that happened within the boundaries of their location or function. The statues of domestic Lares were placed at the table during family meals; their presence, cult and blessing seem to have been required at all important family events. Roman writers sometimes identify or conflate them with ancestor-deities, domestic Penates and the hearth. Because of these associations, Lares are sometimes categorised as household gods but some had much broader domains."

    Of Course Christian traditions among Serbian people called "Slava" is somewhat different but in general almost identical to Lares.

    Grandfather started to celebrate St George after he got married. The family Saint is originally from Mijajlovici. The rest of the paternal family celebrates St Nicholas which is originally from Pavkovici. Mother's side celebrated St John the Baptist.
