MOTHER THEODORA’S “KOKOSHKI,” OR GOD IS STRONGER THAN ROCKETS.


Barbed wire around the perimeter of the monastery walls and the empty booths of the sentry posts are reminders of the recent war, when KFOR1 soldiers—mostly Swedes—were on guard here. Now the security guards have been withdrawn. But the most noticeable trace of the war is in the eyes of the inhabitants of Gračanica,2 in their conversations and their memories. Any child can tell you about war: if before, in order to hear about it, you had to ask grandfathers and grandmothers, now you don’t have to go far—just listen to what the children talk about who grew up in Kosovo: it’s by no means always about new computer games or difficult homework.
