Zadar, May 21, 2003 (IKA) — A song written on the occasion of the forthcoming third pastoral visit by the Holy Father John Paul II to Croatia, In Honor of the Holy Father [U cast Svetom Ocu], was presented May 21, at a press conference at the Archdiocesan Ordinariate in Zadar. Don Zdenko Dundovic, the author of the text; Prof. Tomislav Pehar, composer and arranger; and Željko Petres, the director of the music video, spoke about the song. The song contains recognizable motifs referring to the city of Zadar as well as the long Christian tradition in Zadar. The song will be sung at the moment the Holy Father arrives in the Forum, while he is greeting the faithful from his Popemobile and during the presentation of gifts to the Holy Father from the Zadar Archdiocese, Zadar County and the City of Zadar.

The music video was recorded inside sacral objects in Zadar and is also a type of tourism postcard from the city of Zadar.
