RAŠKA SPIRITUAL CEREMONIES

The first part of the program is dedicated to the International Art Colony “Academy of Helen of Anjou” which is held in July in the environment of the medieval monastery Gradac. The colony gathers the most significant domestic authors and guests from abroad. The central part of Raška Spiritual ceremonies begins with opening the exhibition of works created on the art colony. All these years a broad range (a lot of) of artists, writers, philosophers, clergymen (priests), musicians, scientists, film and theater makers participated in Raška spiritual ceremonies. The original concept, quality participants and various content contributed to this event for over a quarter of a century, bringing together over 1000 participants from Serbia and abroad with more than 50,000 visitors on more than 300 programs. A few years ago, in the afternoon hours, children’s festivities are organized. The youngest audience, with their presence and active participation in educational programs and workshops, set the task of always choosing the best quality content. Part of the manifestation is the “The valley of Serbian kings” tourist tour which promotes the tourist potentials, attractions, cultural and historical heritage of the municipality of Raška and its environment. Since 2000, the Raška spiritual ceremonies annually awarded the prize “Stefan Prvovenčani” for outstanding contribution to Serbian culture.
