Ovaj Geocach skriven pokraj crkve Svetog Nikole
This Geocache is hidden by the church od St. Nicholas
HR:
Geocach se nalazi u blizini crkve sv. Nikole / Mustera, starog benediktinskog samostana. Crkva se nalazi na brežuljku poviše Kamenica, ispod ceste koja vodi prema poljima. Benediktinci su sagradili svoj samostan u 12. stoljeću, baš na ovom mjestu kako bi bili sigurniji od gusarskih napada.
Samostan i crkvu posvetili su sv. Nikoli, zaštitniku pomoraca, ribara, putnika i Komiže.
Dan sv. Nikole obilježava se 6. prosinca te se tada ispred crkve pali stari brod, za spas svih brodova i mornara. To je drevni običaj star stotinama godina.
Papa Aleksandar III, posjetio je ovu crkvu prilikom svog posjeta 1177. godine, kada je Diomedovim putem krenuo iz Vieste (Italija) prema Veneciji, a u Komiži je pristao kako bi svoje galije opskrbio vodom s izvora Kamenice.

Geocach is located near the church of St. Nicholas / Muster, the old Benedictine monastery. The church is located on a hill above Kamenice beach, below the road that leads to the fields od Vis Island. Benedictines built their 12th century monastery, just in this place to be safer than pirate attacks.
The monastery and the church were devoted to St. Nicolas, patron of sailors, fishermens, travelers and Komiža.
Day of St. Nicholas is celebrated on December 6, and then an old ship is burned down in front of the church to save all the ships and sailors. It's an ancient custom hundreds of years old.
Pope Alexander III, visited this church during his visit in 1177 when he traveled from Vieste (Italy) to Venice by Diomed route. He stoped in Komiza to supply his galley with water from the Kamenica spring.
