Vozarev Cross

[1] The famous Belgrade bookseller and a printer, Gligorije Vozarević, erected a wooden cross decorated with icons in his own field at Vračar.

The ruined wooden cross was replaced by the Belgrade Municipality in 1933 with one in red artificial stone.

In the extended text, published on 18 March the same year, in the end it was stressed out:“ Praise to the merciful God, who made us, so that we can watch this divine sign of our saviour faith in the free field near Belgrade.

Honour and praise and gratitude to Mister Vozarović, who was the first to set an example...“ It can be concluded from the text that Vozarev cross at the time of erection was understood not only as the symbol of religious, but also of national freedom.

Vozarović replaced the cross, thinking that he was marking the place where the Saint Sava's relics were burnt.
