For today: St Atos Mount - Hilandar, Serbian Orthodox Monastery #2...

Virgin's Nativity - 18th century.
Their example was followed by other Serbian feudal lords, the families of Mrnyavchevich, Brankovich, Lazarevich and others. The monastery also prospered thanks to the assistance from the tzars of Russia, starting from Ivan the Terrible down to Peter the Great, as well as the Wallachian rulers. At a later date the funds were provided by the Serbian rulers of the Obrenovich and Karadjordjevich dynasties In Chilandar, which represents the spiritual and cultural centre of the Serbian people, many valuable treasures have been collected during the eight centuries of its existence. In the altar area and treasury there are two crosses embodying fragments of the true Cross, and there are also splinters from the Crown of Thorns, and the reed of Our Lord's Passion There is also the Royal Door curtain embroidered in gold on silk by the nun Euphemia in 1399, as well as the cup and flag of Tzar Dushan.

Three Holy Warriors
The monastery houses the oldest and the largest Serbian library of codices, illuminated manuscripts, incunabulas, charters, chrysobulls and copperplates. Chilandar boasts the largest number of miracle-working icons, not only on Mount Athos but throughout the Christian world. The only Serbian monastery on Mount Athos now supports some thirty monks, who follow the strict rules of the Chilandar Typikon written by St Sava.
