A monastery dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul with beautiful and cordial nuns. There are two churches, one dedicated to Peter and the other to Paul.0
My hometown.
Beautiful monastery.
The Monastery of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is located about seven kilometers south of Trebinje, in the village of Cicevo. It was first mentioned in the 12th century. Paul's cave in the hills above the monastery makes it attractive not only to believers but also to tourists. Access to the monastery is possible from the main roads leading from Trebinje to Herceg Novi and Dubrovnik.
The monastery complex consists of two temples - St. Peter's Church and St. Paul's Church, and a konak which was built in 1998. The church of St. Peter got its present form in 1906 thanks to the bishop and priest Peter Zimonjic. Archaeological investigations by experts from the Institute for the Protection of the Cultural, Historical and Natural Heritage of Republika Srpska indicate the establishment of St. Paul's Church in the 4th century.
It was rebuilt in 2007 with the help of the clergyman Rodoljub Draskovic, and was consecrated in July of the same year by the Bishop of Grigory of Zahum-Herzegovina and Littoral. The legend of Paul according to which the holy apostle Paul baptized the people in hiding from the Roman authorities is of particular importance to the cave of Paul, and was named after him.
The Peter and Paul Monastery lives on the sale of local products - wines, fruits and olives, and handicrafts from the monastery's workshops for sewing, icon painting, calligraphy and incense production.
Numerous monasteries of the monasteries govern this economy.
In 2003, the monastery was included in the list of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
What to say and not be misunderstood? Being in Trebinje and not breathing in the peace and tranquility of this place is a sin!
