This publication, with its more than one thousand pages of carefully researched English text and more than 1000 high-resolution color imagery, presents to the reader the spiritually and culturally rich Serbian Orthodox tradition on this continent. It is a tribute to the past generations of Serbs who blended their traditions within freedoms of America, cherishing the richness of Orthodox culture. The present volume gives us an opportunity to look at the Christian heritage they brought to the new land: what has transpired since that time, where it stands in this country today, what are the hopes for it in the years ahead, nearly two hundred years after the seeds of the Orthodox faith were planted here. During the two centuries of its existence, the distinctive Serbian community that evolved in America has applied itself to almost all forms of art, science, and scholarly inquiry, bequeathing great achievements and unparalleled artistic monuments, which are now presented to the admiring gaze of readers. Readers of this volume will be impressed with the beautiful architecture and iconography that distinguishes Serbian Orthodoxy in America.--Publisher.
