The Church of Sveti Gjorgi Pobedonosec

The Church of Sveti Gjorgi Pobedonosec ( St George the Conqueror) is in the village of Rajcica, some 2 km away from the town of Debar- once a small church land of the
Jovan Bigorski Monastery, today is a monastery of a female monk order (nuns). According to the legend the monastery is home of a piece of the cross of Jesus and a small part of the hand of St. John. The church of St. George the Conqueror was built in 1835 and sanctified in 1836. In addition to the church, which was almost in ruins, the yard had other structures used for storing hay and an improvised church bell. The few written records suggest that a beautiful drinking fountain with abundant mountain water was constructed as well.
The church is fortified with pilasters in the central part where a dome rises with octagonal tambour. On the western part there is a travey with a blind kaleta in the middle and semi arch on the sides. The depiction in the central part is made in 1840 by the duo of zoograph-painters Mihail and Dimitar (the monk name of the later is Danil from the village Samarina in Epirus). The depiction of the church was on a later stage completed by the legendary Macedonian Dicho Zograph from the village Tresonce, inhabited by the
Mijaci group. The famous
Dicho Zograph worked during 1848, 1850 and 1852 producing fresco paintings in the naos, altar and the travey. There are written records inscribed above the entrance door on the inside, as well as in the composition of the naos, altar and the travej . For unknown reasons the Samarian zoographs suddenly stopped their work

The story continues with the young Dicho Zoograph from the village of Tresonce who continued the work of the Epirus’s brothers. The frescos of Dicho are located in the altar space, in the naos of the church and in the nartex. It is very much likely that part of the text above the entrance door, from the outside, was written by this artist. Young Dicho ,the legend says has been hired by the Arsenij’s successor Joakim, while records show us that Dicho was working in the church periodically.
There are also two intriguing compositions on the western façade of the church painted by unknown painters; The final Judgement and Christ’s objection. The iconography is common like in the other revival churches. The same applies for the frescoes in the naos, except of the one of the church patron – St George.
The church also has a very rich iconostasis with thrones of XIX century, royal doors, icons from the XVII century, and a Big carved Cross from the XVI century.
