 KOSOVAREPORT: Picture of the Day-Kosovo
Lazar’s frantic effort to obtain help from allies such as the king of Hungary failed because it was difficult, if not impossible, to organize it on such short notice.
Prince Lazar could have taken some moral comfort from the fact that he and his people were defenders of Christian civilization and that the forthcoming battle would probably be the last chance for Balkan Christians to repulse the Muslims.
Lazar could also have believed that some of his vojvodas were seriously thinking of passing over to the camp of the sultan, among them Milos Obilic, who was seen conferring with two other commanders and inquiring about Turkish battle deployment.

 The Heavenly Kingdom in Serbia's Historic Destiny
During the rule of Despot Stefan Lazarevic and during the era of the Brankovici (15th century), the Serbian people built several outstanding zaduzbine - churches and monasteries, showing once again that the erection of these edifices was considered to be their first and most important work.
The cult of St. Sava, with his incorruptible body lying in Milesevo Monastery, and the cult of St. Lazar of Kosovo, with his incorruptible body in Ravanica Monastery, were the two never-dying sources of both religious and national inspiration - one and the same - throughout the era of enslavement.
Thus, the veneration of Lazar and the covenantal thought of Kosovo to liberate and reclaim the sacred places of the homeland from its foes strengthened and spread to the Serbian diaspora.
