\nWooden churches were built before and during the Second Serbian Uprising, when by the Turkish rules churches should not be made of any other construction material that wooden (to have short life and to be easy flammable). Also, the Turks allowed the church to be built in the village unless it can be built in one night.<\/p>\n

When Turks saw new church in a village, they ask locals from where came the church here. Serbs told them that church flew down right from the sky recently and it was sufficient reason for the superstitious Turks not to destroy the church. Also, when angry Turks attacked, churches were taken apart and put away on the safe place until lasted the taxes collection, in order to re-compile later on the same or some another place. These churches were mostly located far from main roads and the Turks eyes.<\/p>\n

Except in the Serbia, there are wooden churches also in the Slovakia, Romania, Russia, Poland and in Scandinavia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
