Prohor Pčinjski Monastery
Prohor Pčinjski Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pčinja District, Serbia
The monastery complex stands on forested slopes of Mount Kozjak near the Pčinja River, 30 kilometers south of Vranje city.
Emperor Roman IV Diogenes founded the monastery in 1067 as gratitude to Saint Prohor, who predicted his ascension to the Byzantine throne.
The monastery functions as an educational center with a theological school, manuscript workshop, and formal instruction in icon painting techniques.
Visitors can access the monastery daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through the main church and surrounding grounds.
The relics of Saint Prohor continuously produce myrrh for over a millennium, making him the only Serbian myrrh-streaming saint in Serbia.
