Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Ruma
The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord (Serbian: Црква вазнесења Господњег) in Ruma is Serbian Orthodox church in Vojvodina, Serbia.
Details
Based on the text from Dimitrije Ruvarac, the church was constructed in 1761.[2] The church is a single-nave building with a semicircular apse to the east and a bell tower rising high above the western facade.[2]
The high altar screen, decorated with Baroque and Rococo carvings, was painted by Stefan Tenecki in 1772, with his signature on the throne icons' lower right corners.[2] His works are known for their precise drawing, skillful composition, vibrant colors, and bold treatment of drapery, identifying him as a significant figure of Ukrainian Baroque among the Serbs.[2]
The initial location for the new church was an old, abandoned Orthodox cemetery, deemed by the district judge to be too close to the Catholic church.[3] The dispute escalated to the extent that Empress Maria Theresa intervened, ultimately ruling in favor of constructing the second Orthodox church in Ruma.[3] Pavle Čortanović painted the depiction of the Holy Trinity in 1843.[1] In 1860, Konstantin Pantelić was tasked with creating the icons for the Virgin's throne.[1] Conservation work on the building were carried out in 1969 and 1970, and in 2002.[2]
