Who were Bogomils

Bogomils (Krstjani, Good Christians, Patarens, Cathares)

In medieval Bosnia appeared a gnostic movement known as Bogomilism. They called themselves only "Christians" or "Krstjani" (in the Croatian language).

During the reign of ban Kulin (1180-1204), Bosnia was developing as an independent and internationally recognized country. At the same time, her neighbors tried to destroy the specific religion known as the Bosnian-Bogomil Church. Being created between the two Christian religions, this Bosnian-Bogomil Church gave specific emphasis to the spiritual development of Bosnia during three centuries.
