Zadužbine – crkve i manastiri

The book "Zadužbine – Crkve i Monastiri" opens young readers to a central part of Serbian Orthodox history: the spiritual foundations (zadužbine), monasteries, and churches built over centuries by pious rulers, monks, and believers. Simple texts and striking illustrations explain how these holy places came into being, what they mean, and why they remain a source of faith, culture, and national identity to this day.

Suitable for children ages 7 to 15, the 56-page A4 book offers an exciting, visually appealing introduction to topics such as monastic life, Serbian kings as founders, well-known shrines (such as the Studenica, Gračanica, or Dečani), and the principle of zadužbina in Orthodox thought. As part of the Izvornik Srpske duhovnosti series, it combines historical knowledge with lived faith.

Ideal for families who want to introduce their children to Serbian Orthodox heritage – whether as a gift, in religious education classes, or as a complement to the home altar.
