Gornje Žapsko monastery, Orthodox monastery in Vranje, Serbia
The monastery incorporates Saint Stephen Church, which stands as a religious complex with traditional Serbian architecture at the outskirts of Vranje.
The monastery underwent multiple reconstructions throughout its existence, with the most recent restoration completed in 1843 during Prince Miloš Obrenović's reign.
The sisterhood of the monastery translates works of Elder Paisios of Mount Athos into Serbian and maintains an icon painting workshop using traditional techniques.
Visitors can purchase books translated by the monastery's sisterhood, including titles about Mount Athos and Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia, in church stores.
The monastery holds exclusive rights to translate Elder Paisios's works into Serbian, collaborating with Saint John the Theologian Monastery in Greece.
