Read moreBeautiful place, nature, monastery, pond and park in front of the monastery. There are also plenty of sources of drinking water, bring bottles or buy them in the monastery store. A 5-10 minute walk from the monastery up the hill leads to the viewpoint where the cross is located. The view is wonderful. The road to the monastery is excellent. everything is paved and flat, there are hills for 1-2 km until you climb to the monastery, but it is asphalt and the road is very good. All recommendations...
Read moreSeptembar 2022 Manastir Pokrova Presvete Bogorodice se nalazi nedaleko od Paraćina u selu Lešje.Ime je dobio po leskovoj šumi iskrčenoj u podnožju brda Baba koje se naslanja na misteriozni Rtanj. Graditeljski stil Lešja je simbioza stilova svih pravoslavnih svetinja - ruskih, rumunskih, srpskih i grčkih i kada uđete kroz kapiju kao da ste uplovili u neku Rusku bajku. Pored prelepo sređenog dvorišta i rastinja izdvaja se i kula Pavla Orlovića koja je dobila ime po barjaktaru Kneza Lazara. U njoj se nalaze 10 zvona od kojih je 9 izliveno u Ruskoj livnici a samo jedno u Srbiji.

Prilikom osvećenja crkve u časnu trpezu je ugrađen i deo mošti Svetog Kneza Lazara. Pored manastira je prelepo uređena Bogorodičina bašta u kojoj se nalaze dva izvora lekovite vode, čija je temperatura stalno 12 stepeni i koristi se tokom obreda krštenja. Interesantno je da se krštenje vrši pogruživanjem dece u čistoj izvorskoj vodi.Ovde se nalazi i česma izrađena od kamena kao i kaskadni bazeni i ribnjak sa pastrmkama.Iznad samog manastira na Hajdučkoj steni se nalazi veliki posebno osvetljen krst. Izuzetno lepo sređen prostor sa širokim vidikovcem ali morate znati da su u ovaj manastir uvedena stroga pravila ponašanja i kodeks oblačenja. Obavezno ponesite flaše kako biste ih napunili hladnom...
