“Gift giving and endowments in Serbia” is the theme of this year’s European Heritage Days in Serbia, and its central event is being held on the 22nd of September in Kraljevo.
The goal of this year’s theme is to draw attention to a somewhat neglected tradition in Serbia – giving for the welfare of the people and homeland.
Kraljevo is not randomly selected to host this year’s central event, because it is a city in the area in which the roots of the Serbian endowment tradition can be traced, but also the oldest endowments in Serbia: the Studenica monastery, Stefan Nemanja’s endowment built in 1190, as well as Gradac and Žiča monasteries.
The event’s program in Kraljevo will present a rich endowment tradition in this area: from the medieval monuments of exceptional spiritual, historical, architectural and artistic value, through the endowments of the 19th and the early 20 century, to the most recent examples of donations, like the Legacy of Olivera Radojković Čolovic (bequesting her family house and a collection of paintings she has proved that the noble endowment tradition still lives).
The continuing of these noble traditions contributes to the presentation, spreading and preservation of national cultural values as well as the development of Serbian culture in Europe.
