The Miracles of Saint Basil of Ostrog Have Been Narrated for Centuries, But Believers Never Forget This Warning
There are places in the Balkans where even those who are not deeply religious speak in hushed tones. Places where people come with sorrow, illness, hope, and questions to which they have found no answer elsewhere. One such place is certainly the Ostrog monastery - carved into the rock, high above the Bjelopavlići plain, as if floating between heaven and earth.
TL;DR
- Ostrog monastery is a place of reverence on the Balkans, attracting thousands of pilgrims seeking healing and answers.
- Believers share stories of miracles performed by Saint Basil of Ostrog, but also heed a warning: 'Nothing should be taken from the holy place'.
- In 1982, a train from Ostrog could not depart until a couple returned an item they had taken from the monastery, illustrating the consequences of disrespecting sacred sites.
- The couple later returned the item, sought forgiveness, and acknowledged the 'price of sin', reinforcing the message of respecting holy places.
