Vinča is the first civilization in World located in Serbia with the Danube civilization script being the oldest writing in the world ever.The Vinča culture near Belgrade is dated to the period 5400-4500 BC.The oldest calendar in the world is Serbian.Also there is archeological sites that support this.Archaeological, genetic, linguistic and etymological evidence shows that the Serbs are the oldest people.The sheer number of objects found at the Vinča sites, coupled with the ease and skill with which they were fashioned is reminiscent of contemporary industrial production. Experiments with the thermic reactions of malachite show that in times of plenty the Vinča culture’s inquisitiveness made strides toward creating a modern civilisation like the one we know today.By the research of Harvard professor Anatoly klosov Serb are oldest nation in Europe.Serbian localities such as Belo Brdo, Belovode, Oreškovica, Stubline, Gradac and Pločnik represent the first signs of proto-urban development in Europe.Miroslav's Gospel, one of the most significant features of Serbian culture and literacy, was written in the 12th century, and represents the oldest preserved Serbian manuscript.From the 9th to the 10th century, the Serbs changed from Slavic paganism and accepted Christianity.Places of worship that are thousands of years old represent the most important symbols of Serbian history, tradition, and religion.If we were to list the dominant moments of Serbian cultural existence, then we would have to start from what constitutes its founding moment: the enlightening, educating tradition founded by Saint Sava,who manifested Serbian Orthodoxy through the independent Serbian church he founded in 1219...

Visoki Dečani Monastery is a medieval Serbian Orthodox Christian monastery located in the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija.One of the most beautiful Serbian Orthodox monasteries was created on the initiative of St. Sava, with a joined effort of King Stefan Decanski and Emperor Dusan Silni.The construction of the church, dedicated to Christ the Pantocrator started in 1327. as the foundation of King Stefan Uros III Nemanjic, later called Decanski. In 1330. King Stefan issued his famous founding charter, signed in gold, giving to the monastery rich properties. After Stefan's death, the construction was continued by his son Dusan, who completed the monastery in 1335.The treasury of the Decani monastery is the best-preserved one within the Serbian cultural heritage in terms of the number of items, artistic achievements and historical endurance. There is also one whole gallery of icons dating back to the XIVth to the XIXth century.With its floor-to-ceiling, Biblical murals it's like stepping into an enormous medieval paintbox.There can be few more beautiful churches in Europe.The Serbian monastery of  Gračanica, the last endowment of King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (r. 1282–1321), was built in the second decade of the 14th century to serve as the seat of the Eparchy of Lipljan, with a representative church dedicated to the Annunciation (today dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin).

The Serbian monastery of Mileseva is also one of the oldest monasteries in Serbia.Mileseva is the endowment of King Stefan Vladislav, who built this religious shrine  in 1219.  Tvrtko Kotormanic, king of Bosnia and Serbia, was crowned in it, the relics of Saint Sava were kept in it until the 16th century, and it is especially famous for its masterful frescoes.It was declared an immovable cultural asset, a cultural monument of exceptional importance.The Ravanica Monastery ranks high on the most famous Serbian churches list for its architecture and lore.

The upper monastery consists of the Church of the Presentation— where the remains of St. Basil rest—and the Church of the Holy Cross.As its fantastic fresco-coated cave-church houses Saint Basil of Ostrog’s relics, lots of Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim pilgrims pray here in the hope that their ailments will be healed.Surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, St. George Monastery lies on the islet of Ostrvo Sveti Dorde, just off the coast of Perast. Founded in the 12th century, the Benedictine monastery is home to a small church and priory, as well as lots of lovely cypress trees.As it has been uninhabited for centuries and was long used as a cemetery, it has earnt the eerie nickname of the island of the dead. Although tourists are not allowed to visit, St. George Monastery makes for a fine sight when taking a boat trip around the Bay of Kotor – one of Montenegro’s most beautiful natural attractions...

The Orthodox Church was established in AD 1054 following a schism of the Roman Empire which split the church in the east from the church in the west.The One True Church is the one founded by Christ, rent apart painfully for the first time in AD 451 (Council of Chalcedon), most painfully in 1054 (the Great Schism), and innumerable times since 1517 with the cancerous spread of the myriad Protestant churches.Orthodox Christianity, by definition, is the original doctrine of Christ as rendered by apostles and their direct disciples. It’s basically the original Christianity, free from any alterations and additions.It is a fact that the Roman Catholic Church broke away from the Eastern Orthodox Church, and not vice versa.The Roman Catholic Church issued the bull of excommunication in 1054 AD, against the pleas of the Eastern Orthodox Church for unity. An Orthodox deacon, tears in his eyes, chased the Papal envoy through the streets of Constantinople trying to shove the document back in his hands.In the eleventh century, the Pope unilaterally broke with 700 years of sacred tradition and declared that the Papacy had the power to overrule the authority of an ecumenical council. No bishop in history had ever had the audacity to make such a claim.“Orthodox” church hasn't changed anything in terms of dogma or tradition since the 12th century when the schism took place.On the other hand, the “Catholic” church has made changes in some aspects.No one has ever declared in Christianity that anyone can replace Jesus Christ, and today the popes present themselves as the new Christian gods.Today, the Vatican is the most powerful, that is, the richest organization in the world, which has nothing to do with Christianity.ONE IS THE TRUE GOD, JESUS CHRIST; ONE IS THE TRUE FAITH, THAT OF THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS!
