Peja (priest)

Peja or Peyo (Bulgarian: Пейо, Serbian Cyrillic: Пеја; fl. 1515–23) was a Eastern Orthodox priest active in the Sanjak of Sofia (in the Ottoman Empire, now Bulgaria) in the early 16th century. He wrote the liturgical rite and biography (žitije) on Saint George of Kratovo between 1515 and 1523, in the Serbian recension of Old Church Slavonic. The work was published by Serbian intellectual Stojan Novaković (1842–1915), transcribed from a manuscript held in the National Library of Serbia in Belgrade. Priest Peja was the spiritual guide and host of the young silversmith George from Kratovo, whom he taught the Bible. George was burnt alive on a pyre on 11 February 1515 after he refused to convert to Islam, due to which he later was proclaimed a New Martyr. Peja then moved to Ravanica, the foundation and burial site of Prince Lazar of Serbia (r. 1374–1389), one of the most important figures of Serbian history, whom he mentioned in his works regarding the Battle of Kosovo (1389).

Peć

Peć (Serbian: Пећ or Peć or Pejë (Albanian: Peja or Pejë)) is a city in western Kosovo, and the administrative centre of the same name. The municipality covers an area of 602 km² (232 sq mi), including the city of Peć and 95 villages; it is divided into 28 territorial communities. As of 2014, the whole municipality has a population of approximately 97,776, of which ca. 60,000 live in the city of Peć.

Name

In Serbian, Peć means furnace or cave and its name is probably connected with nearby caves in the Rugova Canyon which served as hermit cells for Serbian Orthodox monks. In medieval Ragusan documents, the Serbian name of the city (Peć, lit. "furnace") is sometimes translated as Forno, meaning furnace in Italian. During Ottoman rule, it was known as Ottoman Turkish ايپك (İpek). The Albanian name's definite form is Peja and the indefinite Pejë. Other names of the city include the Latin Pescium, the Greek Episkion (Επισκιον), the Ottoman Turkish ايپك (İpek), and the formerly used form Pentza.

Gang

A gang is a group of recurrently associating individuals or close friends or family with identifiable leadership and internal organization, identifying with or claiming control over territory in a community, and engaging either individually or collectively in violent or illegal behavior. Some criminal gang members are "jumped in" or have to prove their loyalty by committing acts such as theft or violence. A member of a gang may be called a gangster or a thug.

Definition

In early usage, the word gang referred to a group of workmen. In the United Kingdom, the word is still often used in this sense, but it later underwent pejoration. In current usage, it typically denotes a criminal organization or else a criminal affiliation. The word gang often carries a negative connotation; however, within a gang which defines itself in opposition to mainstream norms, members may adopt the phrase as a statement of identity or defiance.

The word "gang" derives from the past participle of Old English gan, meaning "to go". It is cognate with Old Norse gangster, meaning "journey."
