Church of St. Cyril and Methodius is a church of the Slovenian branch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, located between Prešeren and Tivoli roads, in the immediate vicinity of the National Gallery, the Modern Gallery and the Tivoli Park in Ljubljana. It is the only typical example of Orthodox architecture from the period between the two world wars in Slovenia, which stands out especially for its rich interior design. After the founding of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Ljubljana in 1921, the church was consecrated in 1932 by the then Serbian patriarch Varnava. In the same year, the plan for the church was drawn up by Momir Korunovic, who based the medieval Serbian five-domed church on the basis of a Greek cross. Church of St. Cyril and Methodius was completed informally in 1936. The interior is adorned with murals that are the work of sculptors Dragomir Jasovic and Misa Mladenovic, the iconostasis is the work of Debur brothers Nestor and Lazar Aleksievic, and the icons are painted by sculptor Mirko Subic .

You are right. But it looks quite different.
it’s probably also much smaller, dear Vida
You’re right, it’s a very small church
I need to see it once, dear Vida
Come to Kranj and see this church
One day I’ll really come and see this church … I’ll invite you for coffee
Beautiful stately building. You seem to have a lot of churches there.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Dawn
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Tas…..
Thank you for your kindness, dear Tas
Thank you for your kindness, dear Tas……………….
Beautiful yet modern looking architecture. If you can appease DocAndersen by taking pictures of the inside please include some of the icons also. I would love to see those including the murals…
Thanks for watching and kind comment….with us there are very common places in churches so they started to lock them up … on occasion I will paint it inside and then publish it
Looks newer than the others but I love the architecture
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Carol….is much newer …. this church is for a minority of Orthodox believers who live with us, so it was built afterwards
Wonderful church. We have an Orthodox church.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Vidocka….there is probably one in Kranj too if I’m not mistaken
There are many Orthodox churches in Bulgaria. There is only one Russian where I live. The architecture is the same as the one in my home country.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Elenka….
Such interesting architecture!
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Ellie…
i forgot sorry to ask, do you have pictures of the inside?
Unfortunately I do not because the church was locked … I have to visit it again
please do! i love pictures inside of churches!
This one has beautiful paintings … I saw it on the internet
well i will hold my breath and wait. well i won’t hold my breath but I will wait!
I visit her on occasion and hope she will be open to paint it
what a great picture pal of the church. It is new compared to some of the much older ones you’ve shared in the past!
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear friend….this church is much younger than our catholic churches … this church is aimed at the minority of the orthodox religion who live with us … these are Serbs, Russians, Bulgarians and maybe some other nationalities …. this year a mosque will be opened in Ljubljana which will be aimed at Muslims
it is a beautiful building! I enjoy seeing churches from around the world.
I am also very impressed by the churches, dear friend ….. wherever I go I certainly visit the cervuses … unfortunately many of them are locked so I can’t see inside
it is a sad statement on the modern world that they have to lock churches.
We are close to Italy where these valuable things are highly sought after and sought after
We have Roman Catholics and Protestants. There are so many Sects in Christian Religion and I wonder why so many.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend
