Cross and Way of Faithedit
Monastery of St. Nikolaj was built on the plateau below Soko grad or "Nevesta sultanove", the most hated fortress by the Ottomans, whose remains are still visible on one rock of Sokolska planina. On the same rock there is a gilded cross, 12 m high and weighing 2280 kg. The cross was placed 24 March 2000, as a monument to the innocent victims of the NATO criminal bombing in 1999, and a gift from the German Horst Wrobel.
The road, 2 km long, which leads from the monastery to the cross, is called the Way of Faith. On the way from the monastery to the cross, 10 chapels were built of stone, appropriately painted.[2] One of God's commandments is written in each of them. There is a spring of healing water near the monastery. There is also a chapel of the Holy Father Nikolaj Mirlikijski in the monastery.
Monument to Bishop Nikolaj, 3 meters high, is the work of Darinka Radovanović, a sculptor from Belgrade, and a gift from Branko Tupanjac, a Serb from Chicago.
In the monastery is the nun by Jovana, born Sibyl Lehr, granddaughter of Alexander Löhr.[3]
