Zrze Monastery is located near the village Zrze, approx. 25 km north-west of Prilep (Macedonian: Прилеп), Republic of North Macedonia.

Traditionally the monks lived in carved-out stone hollows, from the mountainside cliffs. This is believed to date back to the 3rd and 4th century. Under the monastery are the monk cells, and their high number indicates the rich life of the monks, who belonged to the highest monastical order.

  • Le monastère de Zrze (macédonien : Манастир Зрзе) est un monastère du sud-ouest de la Macédoine du Nord, situé dans la municipalité de Dolneni et à 25 kilomètres de Prilep. Dédié à la Transfiguration, il fut construit en nombreuses étapes, sur les ruines d'un sanctuaire chrétien du IVe siècle. Cinq tombes de martyrs de cette époque ont d'ailleurs été découvertes lors de fouilles autour du site. Son église renferme deux icônes exceptionnelles ; l'une, peinte en 1393, représente Jésus-Christ, et l'autre, de 1422, représente la Vierge de Pélagonie. Elle possède aussi des fresques médiévales remarquables, divisées en deux espaces. L'espace le plus bas dépeint la vie monacale, tandis que l'espace supérieur représente les Saints Grégoire, Basile, Nicolas et Jean. On trouve aussi sur ces fresques des médaillons avec des bustes de martyrs, des scènes de la Passion du Christ et l'Hospitalité d'Abraham ainsi que la Communion des Apôtres. Les fresques du porche sont plus récentes, elles furent exécutées en 1624 et en 1634. Elles représentent le Jugement dernier, la Charité chrétienne et des scènes de la vie de Saint-Nicolas. * Le porche de l'église. * L'icône de Jésus. * L'icône de la Vierge de Pélagonie. * Saint-Dimitri. * la façade couverte de fresques. * Fresque du Christ en gloire. * Fresque représentant Jacob, Isaac et Abraham. * Détail d'une fresque.

Traditionally the monks lived in carved-out stone hollows, from the mountainside cliffs. This is believed to date back to the 3rd and 4th century. Today, the Zrze monastery complex consists of the church "St. Petar and Pavle", the inns, and several accessory rooms. The church has been renovated several times, and the painting is preserved only in fragments. In the 14th century, the church walls were painted with paintings of extraordinary artistic value. Dated from 1421, the icon of the Holy Virgin Pelagonitissa, now part of the iconostasis inside the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, is considered one of the last outstanding achievements of icon painting, a representation of the then still-living Byzantine iconography. Its author Makarije Zograf worked on the icon in the monastery of the village Zrze. Makarije Zograf and his brother Metropolitan Jovan Zograf cared for the monastery endowment until it was transferred to Constantine, the village head (kmet). Under the monastery are the monk cells, and their high number indicates the rich life of the monks, who belonged to the highest monastical order. Zrze is a fully functioning monastery, in line with the faith of the Macedonian Orthodox Church. (en)
