Exhibition Depicting Agony of Orthodox Christianity in Kosovo-Metohija
An exhibition titled “Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohija” has been opened in Gracanica Monastery in Kosovo and Metohija on Christmas Day (Jan. 7 by the new calendar), depicting the agony of the Orthodox Christian churches and monasteries in southern Serbian province in the post-war period.
The exhibition is taking place under the auspices of the Serbian Ministry for Kosovo and Metohija and it will be open until January 27 — St. Sava Day — after which it will travel to numerous cities all over Europe.
"I wrote that the pictures depict the agony of Serbian churches in Kosovo, and that is probably the reason why Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis has not permitted the showing of this exhibition in Strasbourg," Bishop Artemije of Raska-Prizren Diocese said at the opening.
Nevertheless, the exhibition will be shown in Banjaluka and then in numerous European cities so that everyone can get better acquainted with the reality of Kosovo province, the Bishop stressed.
