On the islet of Zecevo some monks built a church and dedicated it to Our Lady of Zecevo. The Turks destroyed the church in 1500 and threw the statue of Our Lady of Zecevo into the sea and the statue washed up on the shores of Nin This event is commemorated on the fifth of may every year when the statue is taken back to Zecevo.
