Хиляди пилигрими посещават отдалечения манастир Острог в Черна гора

Thousands of people made the pilgrimage to the remote Ostrog Monastery, in central Montenegro on Tuesday, to celebrate the day of St. Vasilije (St. Basil) of Ostrog. Visitors to the Ostrog Monastery come on May 12 in the hope of finding a solution to their personal problems. To do this they light candles, pray and venerate the relics of St. Basil of Ostrog. Although a Christian institution, the pilgrimage attracts pilgrims of many faiths, who are drawn to the beauty of the building. The Ostrog Monastery was founded in the 17th century, and is one of the most visited sites in the Balkans. The monastery is named after the hill that rises above it.
