CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES PETER AND PAUL IN ĆAFA PRIJEDOLSKA

On Ćafa Prijedolska, at an altitude of 1,840 m above sea level, the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul was built in memory of the heroes of honor and chivalry who died in 1912, in the battle that took place ten days before the official start of the First Balkan War. The church was built, with the blessing of Bishop Joanikij Mićović, by a large number of benefactors, builders and believers from Velika and other regions. The church was built next to the cemetery from 1912, where these brave and honorable fighters were buried, to whom monuments were erected between the First and Second World Wars.


The foundation of the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul was consecrated on September 29, 2007, and the bell and cross were consecrated on September 29, 2010. Joanikije consecrated the church with the clergy on September 29, 2012.


The initiator of the construction of the church, Dragoljub Paunović, received a diploma from Metropolitan Amfilohi of the Montenegrin littoral. He awarded the members of the committee for the construction of the temple with the diploma of Bishop Ioanniki.
