Rukumija Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Bradarac, Serbia

The single-nave church features a western narthex, eastern semicircular apse, and religious paintings executed in the al secco technique on its interior walls.

The monastery received its first detailed documentation in 1733 by Maksim Ratkovic, describing a stone church dedicated to the Ascension of Jesus Christ.

The monastery preserves the relics of Saint Martirius the Sinaite and maintains traditional Orthodox religious practices through its active monastic community.

Located near Pozarevac on the road to Drmno and Kostolac, the monastery sells religious items including icons, prayer books, and traditional fasting cookbooks.

The monastery's name connects to a Serbian folk song about sister Jelica, whose tragically scattered remains supposedly determined the locations of several monasteries.
