Jazak monastery, Orthodox monastery in Fruška Gora mountain, Serbia
Jazak Monastery is an Orthodox religious community in the Fruška Gora mountains, distinguished by its church built with alternating layers of red brick and white limestone. A three-story bell tower rises prominently next to the church structure.
The monastery's original foundation dates to 1495, but the building visitors see today was reconstructed between 1736 and 1758 following significant architectural modifications. This reconstruction period shaped the structure that has endured to the present day.
The monastery's iconostasis displays 58 religious paintings arranged in five zones, all created by Dimitrije Bacevic during the 18th century. These artworks form a visual narrative of Christian faith that visitors can observe and contemplate during their visit.
The monastery welcomes visitors throughout the week and attracts both pilgrims and tourists interested in its spiritual significance. Modest clothing is recommended to show respect for the sacred space.
Within the monastery courtyard stands a sacred spring dedicated to Saint Anastasia the Roman, which also houses portions of her relics. This spring draws pilgrims seeking spiritual blessing and healing.
