The Pillars of St. George Monastery PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 16 September 2004
pillars_icon-s.jpgWASHINGTON-BELGRADE, Sep 16 2004 - The BLAGO (Treasure) Fund of the Serbian Unity Congress is pleased to announce an addition to its on-line archive of Serbian heritage. Along with virtual walkthrough - utilizing Apple QuickTime VR technology - over two hundred high quality digital images of frescoes and architectural details are available for examination and study. Pillars of St. George Monastery (Djurdjevi Stupovi), the endowment of the Great Zupan (Ruler) Stephen Nemania from the year of 1171. The external appearance of this single-nave temple with a tripartite sanctuary, a nave with lateral vestibules and a narthex, flanked by two towers, emanates a spirit of western Romanesque building.

 

The recent rebirth of this holy place and new beginning of monastic life after almost 3 centuries were the great joy for Orthodox world. It has received much media attention in the last few years due to high profile fundraisers and appeals for restoration of the Monastery.

From 1979, Pillars of St. George are under protection of UNESCO World Heritage Center as a part of Old Ras complex. The BLAGO team archived the current state of the monastery, including the frescoes and surrounding architecture. We hope this archive will support the completion of restoration of the Monastery.

Courtesy of BLAGO Fund, available for public viewing at the BLAGO web site (www.srpskoblago.org) are few thousand high quality photographs and slides and dozens of Apple QuickTime VR walkthroughs of Serbian Medieval Orthodox monasteries, including Studenica, Gracanica, Mileseva, Ravanica and St. Peter's Church.

 

 



ВАШИНГТОН-БЕОГРАД, 16. септембар 2004. - Екипа Фонда БЛАГО има посебно задовољство и част да објави комплетну електронску архиву и филмове виртуелне реалности о манастиру Св. Ђорђа у Расу, познатијем као Ђурђеви Ступови (Pillars of St. George). Архиву чини преко 200 фотографија високог квалитета и филмови у Apple QuickTime VR технологији. Ђурђеви Ступови су задужбина Великог Жупана Стефана Немање из 1171. године.

Недавно обнављање овог светог места и повратак монашког живота после готово 300 година били су велика радост за православни свет и добили су велику медијску пажњу.

 

Од 1979. године Ђурђеви Ступови се налазе под заштитом УНЕСКО-а као део комплекса Старог Раса. БЛАГО тим је архивирао тренутно стање манастирских фресака и грађевина. Надамо се да је ова архива дошла у прави час и да ће додатно убрзати комплетну обнову Ђурђевих Ступова тако што ће упознати велику светску публику са његовим богатством на најквалитетнији начин.

Захваљујући раду Фонда БЛАГО светској јавности је преко сајта www.srpskoblago.org до сада постало доступно неколико хиљада фотографија српског средњовековног православног наслеђа (Студеница, Грачаница, Милешева, Раваница, Петрова црква) као и велики број филмова у Apple QuickTime VR технологији.
