Manastir i banja Vrdnik, Monastery and SPA Vrdnik

Na obroncima Fruske Gore u banji Vrdnik nalazi se manastir Vrdnik – Sremska Ravanica. Po predanju sazidan je pre 1521. godine.


On one side of the mountain Fruska Gora in Serbia, at SPA Vrdnik there is a monastery Vrdnik also called Sremska Ravanica. According to oral report from generation to generation it was built before 1521.

Njegova prava velika istorija počinje posle Velike seobe kada su se kaluđeri iz srbijanske Ravanice, koji su preneli telo Kneza Lazara do Sent Andreje, našli u ovom napuštenom sremskom manastiru. Tu su se naselili i 1697. godine doneli Lazarove mošti. Od tog trenutka manastir postaje središte kulta Kneza Lazara, istorijskog junaka koji utiče mnogo na formiranje srpske nacionalne svesti.

Its great history started after Great migration of Serbs (in 1690) when monks from Serbian Ravanica Monastery, who transferred relics of Knez (Prince) Lazar to St. Andrea in Hungary, found themselves in this deserted monastery. They settled in it and in 1697 they brought relics of Prince Lazar to the monastery. From that moment onwards, this place became a center point of Prince Lazar cult, a cult of a historic hero who influenced a great deal forming of a Serbian national consciousness.

U sremskoj Ravanici ležale su mošti Kneza sve do 1942. godine a potom su zbog Drugog svetskog rata, koji je besneo svuda, prenete u Sabornu crkvu u Beogradu. Konačno 1989. godine vraćene su tamo odakle su i krenule na viševekovno putovanje, u manastir Ravanicu kod Ćuprije gde i danas počivaju. U manastiru Vrdnik danas se nalazi kivot i samo deo moštiju Kneza Lazara (ključna kost).
In Sremska Ravanica monastery relics were kept till 1942. and later they were moved to Saborna Crkva (main Assembly Church) in Belgrade because of the second World War. Finally in 1989. they were returned to the place from which they went on a several centuries long journey – to monastery Ravanica near town Cuprija. Relics are in that monastery even today. In monastery Vrdnik reliquary of Prince Lazar and just a part of relics (clavicle) live today.

Današnja crkva nije prvobitna već je novija i datira iz perioda 1801. godine kada je početa njena gradnja. Zidana je deset godina i na Vidovdan 1811. godine je završena i osveštana.

Present church is not an old one. It is new and its construction started in 1801. Building of the church lasted for 10 years and in 1811. on Vidovdan it was finished and consecrated.


Kada uđete u crkvu pred vama se do samog neba uzdiže grandiozni ikonostas, možda najlepši ikad viđen. Ta uzvišena lepota na tren zaustavlja dah, otkucaje srca i otvara pred nemim posmatračem dimenziju večnosti. Iz starih slika i kitnjastih duboreza dodiruju vas minuli vekovi
i ćutke gledaju njihovi sveci. Ovaj ikonostas delo je bečkog đaka, velikog srpskog slikara Dimitrija Avramovića. Ikonostas je završio 1853. godine.
When you enter the church the magnificent iconostasis, maybe the most beautiful ever seen, ascends sky high in front of you. That majestic beauty takes for a moment breath away, holds heartbeat and opens before spectator`s eyes a dimension of eternity. From ancient paintings and wooden frame engravings past centuries touch you and silently their saints observe you. This iconostasis is a work of great Serbian painter Dimitrije Avramovic who was art student in Vienna. He finished iconostasis in 1853.
