Highlights

On this excursion, we will visit Montenegrin monasteries. Their architecture, as well as the external and internal appearance, are certainly distinguished by the beauty and uniqueness of the decorations. However, it is not all about that timeless beauty that defies the centuries and the adversities it encounters, but there is also something in the very silence that arises, lasts and disappears. among the holy walls. Montenegro has about 50 holy Christian buildings on its land, some monasteries, and some churches, and over time that small area of land acquires a deeper meaning and importance. The largest number of churches and monasteries belong to the Serbian Orthodox Church, while a part also belongs to the Catholic Christian Church. Cathedrals are mostly located in coastal cities precisely because of the historical events and governments that changed the Adriatic.

    Cetinje Monastery - Holy keeper of relics After approximately one hour of scenic driving, we arrive in the historic royal capital of Cetinje. Our first and most significant stop is the revered Cetinje Monastery, one of the most important spiritual centers in the country. Originally built in the 15th century during the time of the state of Zeta, the monastery became the epicenter of Montenegrin culture, literacy, and education. Throughout history, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times. After the invasion of Suleiman Pasha, it was reconstructed, preserving its spiritual and national significance. Within its modest yet sacred chambers, invaluable Christian relics are kept: fragments of the Holy Cross, the hand of John the Baptist, and the relics of Saint Peter of Cetinje. These treasures make the monastery one of the most spiritually significant sites in the Christian world — a place of deep reverence, faith, and heritag

    After a 40-minute drive, we reach the Dajbaba Monastery.Under the Dajbaba hill, not far from the capital of Montenegro - Podgorica, is the Dajbaba monastery. This monastery was built in 1897 on the basis of a miraculous vision of shepherd Petka, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The fact is that the monastery itself is carved into the rock. At its foot, the Dajbabe monastery has an inscribed church in the shape of a cross. The entrance porch with bell towers is the only part of the monastery that is outside the rock of the actual cave. The relics of Saint Simeon of Dajbap are preserved inside the monastery.
