4) The monastery is in the northeastern part of the peninsula, mostly surrounded by forest, a little over two kilometers from the seashore.

5) Today, Hilandar’s estates stretch across one-third of the entire territory of Mount Athos.

6) Hilandar was founded in 1198 by two Serbian monks, members of the Nemanjić dynasty (Simeon and Sava), on the foundations of an older monastery from the late 10th century.

7) The abandoned Greek monastery had been founded by the Athonite monk Georgios Hilandaris, after whom the Hilandar monastery was named.

8 ) Hilandar is dedicated to the feast of The Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple.

9) St. Sava wrote the Hilandar Typikon in 1200 for the monks. It is the basis of monastic life and governance at Hilandar.

10) King Milutin is considered Hilandar’s second founder. He significantly expanded and protected Hilandar’s estates and restored nearly all buildings within the monastery’s fortification.

11) Hilandar’s Catholicon (main church) is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved Athonite churches. It has two narthexes, which distinguishes it from the others.

12) King Milutin built the main church with an inner narthex, while Prince Lazar added the outer narthex a few years before the Battle of Kosovo.

13) The tallest structure within the monastery complex is the Tower of St. Sava, while the oldest is the Tower with the small church of St. George.

14) Hilandar is the first Serbian University and the oldest Serbian library. It currently has the richest collection of Serbian manuscript books in the world. Hilandar’s heritage occupies over 10,000 hectares of monastic estate.

17) The monastery possesses numerous sacred items, including parts of The Precious and Life-Giving Cross, various relics, the reliquary of St. Simeon the Myrrh-streaming, and wonder-working icons. However, the most venerated Hilandar sacred item is the wonder-working icon of the Three-Handed Theotokos—the eternal Abbess of Hilandar.

18) Hilandar has been a cenobitic monastery since 1990, with Archimandrite Paisios as the first abbot of the renewed monastic community.

19) In early March 2004, a devastating fire struck the monastery, destroying more than half of its structures. The restoration is nearing completion.

Šta treba da znate o Hilandaru:

1) Hilandar je jedan od 20 atonskih manastira i jedini srpski autonomni manastir na Atosu.

2) Po ukazu cara Aleksija III Anđela, manastir ima status carske lavre i zauzima četvrto mesto u hijerarhiji atonskih manastira.

3) Kao i svi drugi manastiri na Atosu, kanonski pripada Vaseljenskoj patrijaršiji.

4) Manastir se nalazi u severoistočnom delu poluostrva, uglavnom okružen šumom, nešto više od dva kilometra od obale.

5) Danas se imanja Hilandara prostiru na trećini celokupne teritorije Svete Gore.

6) Hilandar su osnovali 1198. godine dva srpska monaha, članovi dinastije Nemanjić (Simeon i Sava), na temeljima starijeg manastira iz kasnog 10. veka.

7) Napušteni grčki manastir osnovao je atonski monah Georgije Hilandarijus, po kome je manastir Hilandar i dobio ime.

8) Hilandar je posvećen prazniku Vavedenja Presvete Bogorodice.

9) Sveti Sava je napisao Hilandarski tipik 1200. godine za monahe. On predstavlja osnovu monaškog života i upravljanja u Hilandaru.

10) Kralj Milutin se smatra drugim osnivačem Hilandara. On je značajno proširio i zaštitio imanja Hilandara i obnovio gotovo sve građevine unutar zidina manastira.

11) Hilandarska crkva-katolikon jedna je od najlepših i najbolje očuvanih atonskih crkava. Ima dva narteksa, što je razlikuje od ostalih.

12) Kralj Milutin je izgradio glavnu crkvu sa unutrašnjim narteksom, dok je knez Lazar dodao spoljašnji narteks nekoliko godina pre Kosovske bitke.

13) Najviša struktura unutar manastirskog kompleksa je kula Svetog Save, dok je najstarija Kula sa malom crkvom Svetog Đorđa.

14) Hilandar je prvi srpski univerzitet i najstarija srpska biblioteka. Trenutno ima najbogatiju zbirku srpskih rukopisnih knjiga na svetu. Hilandarsko nasleđe zauzima preko 10.000 hektara monaškog imanja.

15) Pored brojnih povelja, hiljade rukopisa i štampanih knjiga, ikona, artefakata i etnografskih kolekcija, Hilandar takođe ima originalni Karejski tipik sa potpisom i voštanim pečatom Svetog Save.

16) Hilandar ima najstariju lozu na svetu—lozu Svetog Simeona Mirotočivog, koja datira iz 1207. godine. Loza je čudotvorno iznikla iz groba Svetitelja i vekovima pomaže bezdecnim parovima da dobiju decu.

17) Manastir poseduje brojne svete predmete, uključujući delove Časnog i Životvornog Krsta, razne mošti, moštiju Svetog Simeona Mirotočivog i čudotvorne ikone. Međutim, najpoštovaniji sveti predmet u Hilandaru je čudotvorna ikona Trojeručice—večite igumanije Hilandara.

18) Hilandar je cenobitski manastir od 1990. godine, sa Arhimandritom Paisijem kao prvim igumanom obnovljene monaške zajednice.

19) Početkom marta 2004. godine, razorni požar je zahvatio manastir, uništivši više od polovine njegovih građevina. Obnova se približava kraju.
