Christianity ine Croatian Children's Literature

Ovaj rad proučava kršćanstvo u kontekstu hrvatske dječje književnosti u djelu Priče iz davnine Ivane Brlić-Mažuranić i trilogiji Zlatni danci Jagode Truhelke. U djelu Ivane BrlićMažuranić kršćanstvo se javlja na razini strukture bajke i na razini motiva, dok se u djelu Jagode Truhelke istražuju njezine kršćanske implikacije. Obje su autorice od djetinjstva odgajane u kršćanskom duhu koji su nastojale kroz svoja djela prenijeti na sljedeće generacije, stoga su njihova djela prvenstveno pisana za djecu. U ovom je radu također vidljiva njihova povezanost i ljubav prema Bogu, ljubav prema majci i obitelji te koliko je važno pokajati se i oprostiti grijehe, a osim sličnosti možemo uočiti i razlike.This paper explores Christianity in the context of Croatian children's literature in book Croatian Tales of Long Ago by Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić and trilogy The Golden Days by Jagoda Truhelka. In the work of Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić christianity appears at the level of the fairy-tale structure and at the motive level, while in the work of Jagoda Truhelka we are exploring her Christian implicationes. Since childhood both of them are raised in the Christian spirit which they are trying to transfer through their work to the next generation, so their work is primarily written for children. In this paper is also visible their connection and love to God, love to mother and family and how important it is to repent and absolve sins, but apart from similarity, we can see differences as well
