The Baptism on the Savica (Slovene: Krst pri Savici) is a long two-part epic-lyric poem written by the Slovene Romantic poet France Prešeren. According to the literary historian Marko Juvan, the work may be considered the Slovene national epic.[1] It is a narration about a hero and the woman he loves in the time of violent Christianisation of the predecessors of the Slovenes.
