Serbian Orthodox monastery abbess in Kosovo passes away
"Mother Euphrosyne (Efrosinija) the Abbess of Gracanica Monastery reposed in the Lord this morning. As a great ascetic laborer of Christ’s love she devoted her life from her early youth as a nun. Now her blessed soul rushes to embrace the Lord whom she so ardently served. Memory eternal!"This Serbian Orthodox Monastery represents a cultural good and a monument of culture of exceptional significance.
It was built by Serbian King Milutin in 1321, who dedicated the temple to the Holy Virgin.
The monastery is located in the village of Gracanica, near the town of Pristina.
