Vavedenje Monastery

The legend of the construction of the church is related to the dream of the founder Perside Milenković, who fell asleep three times, that the monastery should be built on that very spot.

The abbots of the Vavedenja monastery were: Melanija Krivokućanin (1938—1942), Angelina Gračeva (1942—1970), Agnija Dmitrović (1980—2001), Anastasija Savković (2001—2019), Teodora Vasić (2020—present).

The monastery treasury keeps old manuscripts and printed liturgical books, as well as icons that Russian nuns brought with them to Serbia after the October coup.

On the territory of the monastery complex, there are three pits in which the bodies of those killed and shot on St. Dmitrov's Day in 1944 and those who died on Easter 1944 from the Allied bombing are.

Wooden stasis, choir counter, backrests, portals for kissing icons, as well as a ciborium with a five-domed canopy in the nave, are all made in the same decorative system of shallow relief of the predominant floral motifs.
