'''Rašica''' ({{IPA|sl|ˈɾaːʃitsa|pron}}) is a [[village]] north of [[Velike Lašče]] in central [[Slovenia]]. The area is part of the traditional region of [[Lower Carniola]] and is now included in the [[Central Slovenia Statistical Region]].<ref>[http://www.velike-lasce.si/ Velike Lašče municipal site]</ref>
==Name==
Rašica was attested in historical sources in 1230 as ''Reschwiz'' (and as ''Reschicz'' in 1260 and ''Rasczicz'' in 1436). The name was originally a hydronym, referring to Rašica Creek south of the village. The name is derived from the common noun ''raka'' 'wooden cladding preventing water erosion of a bank' or 'cladded chute carrying water to a mill'. Both the Slovene and German names are ultimately derived from Latin ''arca'' 'box'. The name is unrelated to that of the village of [[Rašica, Ljubljana|Rašica]] near Ljubljana.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=347}}</ref>
==Church==
[[File:Rasica Velike Lasce Slovenia - church 2.jpg|thumb|left|Saint Bartholomew's Church]]
The local [[church (building)|church]] is dedicated to [[Bartholomew the Apostle|Saint Bartholomew]] ({{langx|sl|sveti Jernej}}). It was built in the early 17th century on the site of an older building. In 1765 it was remodeled in the [[Baroque architecture|Baroque style]] and in 1839 its facade was replaced.<ref>[http://rkd.situla.org/ Slovenian Ministry of Culture register of national heritage] reference number ešd 2645</ref>
==Notable people==
Rašica is best known as the birthplace of the [[Slovenes|Slovene]] [[Protestant Reformation|Protestant reformer]] [[Primož Trubar]]. Trubar was born in the village in 1508. What remains on the site of the Trubar farm—a 200-year-old [[sawmill]] and a more recent barn—have been arranged into a small museum with a printing workshop and gallery.<ref>[http://rkd.situla.org/ Slovenian Ministry of Culture register of national heritage] reference number ešd 615</ref>
