Description

Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo entered a hermitage near the Monastery of Lesnovo and the place of Zletovo (skitъ blizъ prjamo manastirъ, vъ dolъ prjamo Zletovo). The lively influx of people, who were sick and obsessed, caused that the Saint sought solitude in Lukovo (i preide vo stranu Lukovo). The hamlet Lukovo is mentioned in the Slavic donor inscription of the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) from the year 1340/41 as a monastic property (sь zaselkomь lukovu). Furthermore, the hamlet Lukovo appears in the founding charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV. Dušan for the Eparchy of Zletovo with its seat in the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) from the year 1346/47 (sь zaselkomь Lukovu vyše crьkve). The Serbian local ruler Konstantin Dragaš donated on the 15th August 1381 the Monastery Lěsnovo (1) with all its possessions, including the village Lěsnovo (2) with its hamlet Lukovo (selo Lěsnovo i sь zaselkomь Lukovōmь), to the Hilandar Monastery.

Lesnovo 1 Source The foundation charter of the Monastery of Lesnovo consists of a donation inscription in three parts on stone, of which two parts are in Slavonic and one part in Greek language. The Slavonic inscription starts on a marble architrave above the Western entrance of the katholikon (i.e. on the Eastern wall of the narthex) and continues outside above the Southern entrance to the naos. This inscription is dated to the years 1340/41 and calls the katholikon a "Church of the High Commander of the Heavenly Armies the Archistratigos Michael" (храмь великаго воѥводе вьїшних силь Aрхистратіга Mихаіла). The donors were the Serbian Great Vojvode (Veliki Vojvoda) Jovan Oliver with his wife Anna Mara (Ana Marija) and his son Kraiko (Krajko) during the reign of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355).
