Since 2016, the Nativity of the Theotokos Serbian Orthodox Monastery in New Carlisle, Indiana, has been a beacon of spiritual and educational enrichment for our church communities. We are delighted to announce the return of our annual Djurdjevak Festival (Lilly of the Valley Festival) on Saturday, May 18, 2024!

This unique event, the Djurdjevak Festival, is a celebration of children’s education, a platform for fostering family values, and a nurturing ground for Orthodox Christian fellowship. Set amidst the serene beauty of our monastery grounds, the festival offers a unique blend of worship, educational workshops, arts and crafts, and sports activities for children and families alike.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all clergy members and volunteers whose dedication and tireless efforts make this event possible year after year. Your commitment to our community is truly inspiring.

Your presence is highly valued. We invite all Orthodox Christian families from the greater Chicago land area to join us for this enriching and joyous occasion. Come and experience the spirit of togetherness and Christian love that defines our Djurdjevak Festival.
