Pashtrik

Pashtrik (Albanian: Pashtriku, pronounced [paʃtɹiku]; Serbian Cyrillic: Паштрик) is a mountain located in Albania and Kosovo.

[2] Mount Pashtrik is the site of annual pilgrimages of residents from Has region of Prizren and Gjakova in Kosovo and from the border area of Albania.

[4] Tax register from 1452 show the inhabitants of Darda and the Pashtrik had mostly Albanian anthroponyms.

The old pagan cult is reflected in the annual pilgrimage of both Christians and Muslims that take place on the mountain.

The Orthodox of Prizren consider the mountain to contain the tomb of Saint Pantaleimon, and take pilgrimages celebrating one whole night in summer.

This ancient practice is still preserved today, notably in Pashtrik, Lybeten, Tomorr, Gjallicë, Rumia, Koritnik, Shkëlzen, Mount Krujë, Shelbuem, Këndrevicë, Maja e Hekurave, Shëndelli and many others.
