If your heart overflows with faith and love for God, you will find a thousand ways to pass on these feelings to your child.

Manastir

The Holy Tranfiguration Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery in Milton, Ontario. The impressive, vibrant and colourful frescos in the interior were painted in multiple phases by an artist from Belgrade, Dragan Marunich. Though on the outside the building is one solid colour, once inside, amidst the kaleidoscope of rich, narrative driven colours, heady scent of incense, and echoing chants of monks, it is difficult to tear oneself away from this mesmerizing space. 

The grounds around the monastery boast sprawling acres of greenery, a donated water fountain considered sacred and holy by Orthodox communities and picnic areas frequented by Serbian and Ethiopian Orthodox families in Canada.
