High up in a rocky mountain range, often hidden
by clouds and mist, is the monastery of
Ostrog,
the
greatest Montenegrin shrine. It was built in seventeenth century. This
is the place where the relics of Saint Vasilije Ostroski are resting.
Saint Vasilije Ostroski watches us during our whole life and waits for
us to return one day to our essence. One German prince had written in
1908 “Ostrog is not only the holy place of the Orthodox, but
response of all the world religions”.
Do not go
by car to the Upper Monastery, you
should go on foot, like the humblest pilgrim. The old monk will tell
you about the history of all the miracles that have happened in the
monastery. Both the poor and the rich come here from everywhere in
search of a cure for their bodies and soul.
For,
Ostrog is the only place in the world where miracles do happen.
