The great ascetic, Simeon Mirotočivi - Stefan Nemanja, was first and foremost the great ruler of the Serbian people, the unifier of the Serbian lands, the creator of the independent Serbian state, the defender of Orthodoxy, the exterminator of heresy. At the same time, all his life - a man of great faith, great love, great prayerfulness, great mercy, great evangelical zeal.

Along with the unification of the Serbian lands, Stefan Nemanja worked diligently to establish Orthodoxy, thereby satisfying both the state's and his personal spiritual needs. Full of faith, he hastily builds a temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary in his area, in Toplica. And after decorating it with all the needs of the church, he established a congregation of nuns in it, with his honest and God-loving wife Anna. And he handed over the temple of the Most Holy to her, to take care of it in every part and of the nuns she founded in that holy monastery. And she listened with all obedience and benevolence, guarding the temple of the Most Holy Mother of God, entrusted to her by her holy master.

Stefan Nemanja is considered one of the progenitors of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the first great founder of Orthodox temples among Serbs and a deeply pious man. According to the Byzantine model, Orthodoxy became the state religion, and the episcopate in Ras became its center.
