In 1989, on the occasion of the six-hundred year anniversary of his martyrdom, St. Lazar’s relics were again translated to the monastery of Ravanica in Cuprija. St. Lazar restored the monasteries of Hilandar (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.
