White Angel, Religious fresco in Mileševa monastery, Serbia

The White Angel fresco portrays an angel in white robes seated on a stone, indicating the empty tomb of Christ to myrrh-bearing women.

Created in 1235 during King Stephen Vladislav I reign, this medieval masterwork remained hidden beneath another fresco from the 16th to 20th century.

The fresco forms part of the larger composition Myrrhbearers on Christ's Grave, representing a defining moment in Christian religious narrative.

Visitors can view the fresco inside the Mileševa monastery church between 9:00 and 17:00 every day except Monday, following Orthodox dress codes.

The White Angel image traveled through space as part of the first satellite broadcast from Europe to America in 1963 after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
