New Gračanica Monastery, Serbian Orthodox monastery in Third Lake, Illinois, United States

The monastery stands on 300 acres of land and includes a church building, monastery facilities, and walking paths through natural grounds.

The monastery grounds were purchased in 1977, and the main church was consecrated in 1984 as a replica of the medieval Gračanica in Kosovo.

The monastery walls display extensive frescoes painted by Fr. Theodore Jurewicz over three years, following traditional Byzantine artistic methods.

Daily religious services, educational programs, and seasonal celebrations take place throughout the year for the Serbian Orthodox community.

The wooden entrance doors feature hand-carved depictions of twenty-three different Serbian monasteries and churches across their surface.
