Studenica: The White Marble Crown
Amidst the hills where rivers glide,
Lies Studenica, Serbia’s pride.
A fortress of faith, so strong, so bright,
Bathed in dawn’s celestial light.
Carved from marble, pure and white,
Standing firm in endless night.
Its walls have heard the monks’ soft prayer,
Echoing truth through sacred air.
Founded by a noble hand,
Stefan Nemanja, a ruler grand.
He built this home for soul’s embrace,
A refuge wrapped in heaven’s grace.
Frescoes whisper tales untold,
Saints in hues of blue and gold.
A timeless story, deep and wise,
Of faith and love that never dies.
UNESCO guards this holy site,
A beacon strong, a guiding light.
Through wars and winds, through fire and rain,
Its spirit sings, untouched by pain.
Come, behold this sacred place,
A monument of love and grace.
In stone and prayer, in time and lore,
Studenica stands forevermore.
