I came across this one online. The monastery sits quiet on the hillside with the morning mist settled around it, makes you think about how some places just pull you into silence without saying a word.

Branislav Stanković That monastery looks nice. It is dedicated to Saint Prohor of Pčinj, so a great feast is celebrated there every year.
Jakub Szymański That's right, the monastery of Saint Prohor of Pčinjsko. I know that every year a great assembly is celebrated there and that a lot of bread is baked in ovens that date back to the time when the monastery was rebuilt after the Turks. Nice picture.
Sebastian Hoffmann Yes, that monastery is known for the fact that it houses the miraculous icon of Saint Prohor, which is carried in liturgies for glory. The picture is very beautiful.
Марина Комарова The stonework there is clearly old, from the times when they were rebuilding after the Turks. The walls are thick, the windows are small, typical Byzantine frame. Well preserved.
Іван Коваль The stone there is really old, the masonry is strong.
Helen Anderson The stonework does look solid, exactly like what Marina described from the post-Turkish rebuild.
