2025 Pilgrimages to Serbia.

Spring: May 1-May 12
Fall: September 23- October 5
Please consider joining one of the Serbian pilgrimage events in 2025! Icon Art Studios recently hosted two pilgrimages to Serbia. These experiences were extremely successful in the warmth and expertise of our host and tour guide from Belgrade/UB. “To go on a pilgrimage is to travel at a much deeper and life-changing level. It is to travel by searching for God, as God is searching for us.” The itinerary consists of visits to beautiful ancient and historical monasteries every day including visits to wineries and hotel spas. The history of Serbia is told through its ancient monasteries and medieval art. Tour begins and ends in Belgrade. Many Serbian cities are included. Please call or email Deb Korluka at 612.889.5860 or akorluka@aol.com for more information.
