It was Friday, a very unpleasant day in the early fall. My parents had already gone to work and I decided to stay in bed for a while. When I realized that I would be late for school, the best idea was to skip the rest of the classes too, and to go to see a movie. After I had had my breakfast, I left our apartment and took the elevator down to the first floor. I felt a little ashamed so on the way out I took the garbage to do at least one good thing. It was raining outside and I decided to take a cab downtown and probably return home by the subway. I got out of the cab and walked on the sidewalk for some time, thinking which movie theatre to go to. I bought some candy and cookies, paid for the ticket and went inside. I sat down next to a middle-aged guy who looked at me and to my surprise I was sitting next to my math teacher!

Splendid churches were built in Serbia by the Nemanjić rulers and decorated with frescoes and icons. One of them is the monastery of Mileševa, which was built in the 13th century at the very entrance to the Mileševka River canyon. The frescoes of this monastery are among the finest examples of Serbian art of its time. Vladislav Nemanjić, one of the four sons of Stefan the First-Crowned, began construction of the monastery when he was only a prince and ordered construction work to be continued after he had become king. He also took the remains of St Sava there. The remains were later removed by the Turks and burned on Vračar hill in Belgrade.
