They were accompanied by representatives of the International Peacekeeping Force in Kosovo.<\/p>\n<p>The first church they saw was St. Elijah\u2019s at the Vucitrn village, one of over 150 churches destroyed and defiled for the last ten years. After St. Elijah\u2019s was ravaged a public lavatory was arranged at its place. Now this church is being restored as a cultural object, but there are no longer any Serbs in the village.<\/p>\n<p>In the defiled Orthodox cemetery behind the church, Archbishop Hilarion and Bishop Artemije said the litany for the dead Orthodox Serbs of Kosovo and Metochia.<\/p>\n<p>From there the two hierarchs moved to the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century Bansko Monastery. Destroyed by the Turkish troops in the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century, it resumed its life in 2004 through the efforts of Bishop Artemije.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first church they saw was St. Elijah\u2019s at the Vucitrn village, one of over 150 churches destroyed and defiled for the last ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16,1,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7389"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.mospat.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
