For the first time in the history of Serbian culture and publishing, a publication like this is published. There is no more modernly conceived book on such a traditional topic. A modern, skillfully concise, and reliable informative concept presents us with the hidden world of Serbian monasteries. You are holding in your hands a unique GUIDE to more than 460 monasteries and over 260 monasteries (places where the now destroyed and historically wind-blown temples of our very rich spiritual treasure were once located). Along with succinctly written texts about each individual monastery, here you also have their photos, a detailed map of the approach, and a general scheme of the location of the monastery, as well as a QR code, a special "code" for navigation that leads you (via smartphones, tablets, and GPS navigators) right to the doors of these ancient hearths and sanctuaries of the Christian faith and our spiritual culture. It is particularly interesting and important that here you will also find all the most important Serbian monasteries that are today located outside the territory of our country—all the way to Western and Northern Europe, Canada, the USA, and Australia (of course with numerous examples of Serbian monasteries in Romania, Hungary, Macedonia, Croatia... all the way to Montenegro and Mount Athos). Only in this way, when all Serbian monasteries are systemically complex and gathered in one place, can we at least have an inkling of the greatness of our heritage and the value of our tradition. And to feel pride for that, ready to start a virtual pilgrimage to these holy places even in this way (until we dare to actually step towards them—our symbolic home in eternity). Dragoslav Bokan
