		Seen from the east, as it is bathed in the gentle morning light of the rising sun, the Church of the Blessed Virgin admirably reveals the symbolic significance of a house of God: as the bearer of the Light of the World, the herald of Truth, and the embodiment of the Light of Christ.
		The monastery buildings themselves are laid out in such a way that their central point, the mystical center of the universe which is ruled by the Lord, also forms the very center of the Church of the Blessed Virgin.
		According to the story told by St. Sava, the origins of the monastery date to his father, the Grand Duke Stefan Nemanja, the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty and ruler of the Serbian lands.
