Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (, Crkva Vavedenje Presvete Bogorodice; ) was a Serbian Orthodox Church located in the village of , in the municipality of Peja, Kosovo and Metohija.
The church in Belo Polje was dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin and was located at the foot of the mountain range Pleà ¡-Koprivnik, on the right side of the small river Kamenica-Suà ¡ica, south of the town Peja. In the Charter of Stefan of DeÃÂani from the 14th century there is a source claiming that on that place once stood the original church. There is also a marble tombstone with an inscription from the 14th century, subsequently incorporated into the floor of the church.
The older church was violated during the Turkish occupation of the area. A newer, current, is built with the material support of Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna in the period 1866âÂÂ1868. Its construction is supported by the efforts of DeÃÂani Archimandrite Kiril AndrejeviÃÂ, residents of the city and esnaf associations from Peàand Skadar.
The church and the village were burned down in 1999, windows shattered, furniture, iconostasis and liturgical items broken. The doors were damaged on both sides. On this time, murals suffered the greatest damage, now covered with a thick layer of soot and grime. The church was partially restored at the end of 2003, but in March 2004 the church and the village were burned again.
