Church of St. George, Bobota
Church in Bobota, Croatia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Church of St. George (Croatian: Crkva svetog Đorđa, Serbian Cyrillic: Црква светог Ђорђа) in Bobota is Serbian Orthodox church in eastern Croatia. The church is famous for its icons in the iconostasis that were painted in 1778.[1] During the Croatian War of Independence, administration of Eparchy of Osječko polje and Baranja sent the icons on the restoration[2] and preservation in Vojvodina.[1] The icons were returned to the church after the end of war.[3] The decision to remove the cultural property from the church caused controversy and was an open issue in Croatia–Serbia relations up until the final return of icons.
