Our dear Mr. Paton has made it to the Ravanica #monastery and found himself a very warm welcome there, with plenty of #wine, song and toasts!

OG from the #archives! Two letters from 1890 by #Serbian consul Luka Marinković in Priština (#Kosovo Vilayet, #Ottoman Empire at the time) about the closure of Serbian schools in the province.

Mr. Paton has made it to the top of Mt. Kopaonik and from there via Brus to Kruševac.

Meandering along #Serbia's valleys, Mr Paton makes it to the monasteries of Žiča and Studenica.

Out intrepid Mr Paton has made it all the way from Užice through Požega to Čačak and on to Karanovac.

Unsurprisingly, he wasn't enamoured with the long church services (where the congregation stands) of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
