After the death of Tsar Urosh, Patriarch Ephrem  crowned Lazar as the Serbian king.  Lazar sent a delegation to Constantinople  with the monk Isaiah to implore the patriarch to lift [remove] the anathema from  the Serbian people.  He fought against the Turkish powers on several  occasions.  Finally, he clashed [fought] on the Field of Blackbirds [Kosovo Polje]  on June 15, 1389 A.D. against the Turkish Emperor Amurat where he was beheaded.   His body was translated and interred in Ravanica, his memorial church  [Zaduzbina] near Cuprija and later was translated to Ravanica in Srem and from  there, during the Second World War (1942) was translated to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral Church of the Holy Archangel Michael where it rests today  incorrupt and extends comfort and healing to all those who turn to him with  prayer.  [In 1989, on the occasion of the six-hundred year anniversary of his  martyrdom, St. Lazar&#8217;s relics were again translated to the monastery of Ravanica in  Cuprija].  St. Lazar restored the monasteries of Hilendar [Mt. Athos] and Gornjak.   He built Ravanica and Lazarica [in Krusevac] and was a benefactor of the  Russian monastery St. Pantaleon [Mt. Athos] as well as many other churches and monasteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, June 28, 2010 our Holy Church remembers St. Tzar Lazarus of Serbia and All Serbian Martyrs &#8211; Vidovdan.
