MONASTERY
REFECTORY
In
every monastery Refectory comes in importance immediately after the
church because after holy communion and prayer there comes partaking
of the earthly gifts given by the Lord for sustaining our biological
life. In these photos you can see our main trapeza (refectory) ready
to receive monks and pilgrims for the feast of St. King Stefan of
Decani.
