The Holy Trinity Monastery in Ozerkovići near Sokolac has been operating as a male monastery for more than three months, and recently, in addition to a copy of the icon of the Mother of God of Jerusalem, the relics of Saint Demetrius are kept there, which attracts an increasing number of Orthodox believers. The abbot of this monastery, Georgije Stanković, states for Srna that he served the first liturgy after arriving in this church on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and that since then he has served daily according to the monastic constitution, except for the liturgy. The monastery in Ozerkovići has two great shrines, part of the relics of the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica from the first centuries of Christianity and a copy of the icon of the Mother of God of Jerusalem, which was consecrated at the Lord's tomb. He recently received the relics of Saint Demetrius the Miracle Worker from a pious Christian woman, directly from Thessaloniki, and a copy of the icon of the Mother of God from Jerusalem was brought by the blessed Metropolitan Nikolaj of Dabro-Bosnia. Abbot Georgije points out that in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, the Akathist is served to St. Demetrius every Tuesday from 6 pm, and in the part of the icon of the Mother of God of Jerusalem, the Akathist is served every Friday from 6 pm. With the arrival of these saints in the monastery, as people we have a great obligation and responsibility, first - to pray, and second - to be good people. It is the relics of saints and icons of the Mother of God that invite us to imitate the way of Christ, the way of the Gospel, love, to build and establish ourselves in truth, faith and hope. A friend of this temple, Srdjan Aleksic, a young architect from Vienna, donated a complete project for the renovation of the monastery and the lodgings, the realization of which will begin in the spring. According to that project, as he says, the church should be in stone, with frescoes, underfloor heating, with a stone wall and an entrance tower, a large gate and a candle shop. The abbot's wish is for the diocesan candle-melting workshop to be moved from the first floor to the prefabricated building behind the Monastery. Abbot Georgije came to the Monastery in Ozerkovići from the postgraduate study for church diplomacy at the Moscow Spiritual Academy, at God's call and on the recommendation of Metropolitan Chrysostom. For him, the Monastery is a special place of peace, joy and tranquility, sanctified by prayer, which begins in the morning and ends in the evening, culminating in the liturgy. The abbot says that he would like the Monastery of the Holy Trinity to be a center where many people will come, who will pray here from everyday worries and city anxieties, talk to each other "and cleanse the soul of difficulties, so that they can continue the feat with family". . The abbot is convinced that the Monastery will finally get water from the newly built secondary water supply network. The monastery was built on the border of the municipalities of Sokolac, Rogatica and Pale and was consecrated in 2005 ...

Nice place.
