Čuvena loza, izrasla iz groba Svetog Simeona. Kažu da grožđe ove loze leči neplodnost žena...

Hilandarska čuda...
Najužnoj strani Saborne crkve u Hilandaru, a na mjestu gdje je nekada bio sahranjen utemeljitelj ovog manastira Stefan Nemanja - Sveti Simeon daleke 1207. godine odmah po prenosu njegovih moštiju u Srbiju, samonikla je loza, koja se u monaškom redu Hilandara smatra kao jedno od najvećih čuda. Ova čudotvorna loza i poslije 800 godina bogato rađa. Čudo je da je sama iznikla baš iz groba Svetog Simeona, a da njeni plodovi donose mnoge radosti vjernicima koji nemaju djece, nezavisno od religije i rase kojoj pripadaju.

Najstarije sačuvano pisano predanje potiče iz 1585. godine kada je jedan Turčin doveo svog sina prvjenca da bi ga ostavio u manastir Hilandar, jer ga je kao i drugu svoju djecu dobio poslije upotrebe grožđa sa loze Svetog Simeona. Sličnih primjera i usmenih i pismenih potvrda ima bezbroj. I danas hilandarski monasi čudotvorno grožđe dijele poklonicima ili dostavljaju poštom svima koji im se posebno obrate.

Obično u jedno sljedovanje idu tri zrna grožđa koje se za ovu priliku specijalno suše i čuvaju, jedno parče orezane loze, a supružnici uz ovo dobiju i specijalno uputstvo za upotrebu, koja podrazumijeva četrdesetodnevni post i svakodnevne molitve Svetom Simeonu. Monasi tvrde da je u čitavom postupku vjera najvažnija u ovom postupku.
Pošto manastir nije prihvatio prvjenca sina pomenutog Turčina, jer je bio maloljetan i nije svojevoljno došao u Hilandar, on je manastiru tada poklonio preko 1.600 hektara zemlje obrasle kestenovom šumom. Interesantno je da se danas preko restauracije manastirskih konaka upotrebljava upravo ovo kestenovo drvo.

Drugo čudo je, svakako, i moć Majke Božje, koja uz moći ikone Trojeručice, predtavlja svetinju kojoj se klanjaju svi vjernici. Kada je 4. marta 2004. godine vatrena stihija zahvatila preko 54 odsto manastirskog kompleksa u srcu požara ostala je netaknuta ikona Majke Božje. Iako je okolo svuda gorjelo, ona nije od silnog dima ni pocrnila. Monasi Hilandara sa ponosom ističu da je moć Majke Božje, u ovom presudom trenutku bila jača i nije se dala uništiti.

Danas hodočasnici sa posebnom pobožnošću prilaze ovoj ikoni moleći se njenom čudotvornom dejstvu...

Hope you will like it - Thank you for visit...

Hi, George. Nice composition of this imposing architectural relic of the past. Well composed with intricate details of stonework seen clearly. The roof is probably made of copper with the aging patina over it. Cheers and TFS.

Hello George,
Interesting architecture. Super sharpness. You can see the smallest detail.

Hello George,

Your focus on this beautiful building is pin sharp, detailing the fine architecture, the repeating arches and the lovely textures. Your pov, suggesting the building on the right but giving us sharp, angled views of the rest, is well judged.
The light is excellent.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
