The endowment of the holy Prince Lazar and one of the first achievements of the Morava school. After the Battle of Kosovo the prince’s relics rested at Ravanica; during the Great Migration of 1690 they were carried north to Syrmia. They were returned to Ravanica in 1989, on the six-hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo.
