What you can expect

  • Embark on a journey through Western Serbia, following the footsteps of two of the most important Serbian Orthodox spiritual figures (saint officially) of the 20th century — St. Nikolaj Velimirović and St. Justin Popović of Ćelije.

    Visit five remarkable Orthodox monasteries — Lelić, Ćelije, Kaona, Jovanje, and Pustinja — each offering its own storey, spiritual tradition, and connection to the rich religious heritage of this part of Serbia.

    At Lelić Monastery, discover the legacy of St. Nikolaj Velimirović, one of Serbia's most influential theologians, bishops, and spiritual writers. Born in the nearby village of Lelić, he spent his final years here, and the monastery is now home to his relics and remains an important place of pilgrimage.

    Continue to Ćelije Monastery, closely associated with St. Justin Popović, one of the most important Serbian Orthodox theologians and spiritual thinkers of the 20th century. He spent decades here in prayer, study, and writing, and his spiritual legacy continues to attract pilgrims and visitors from around the world.

    The journey then continues to Kaona, Jovanje, and Pustinja, where centuries-old monasteries, peaceful landscapes, and secluded surroundings offer a different perspective on Serbia's Orthodox heritage.
