frontage of the Žiča katholikon, traces were registered of the figure of an
archangel (the western face of the tower) and parts of ornamental friezes
(southern wing of the narthex façade and the northern oculus). Consideration
of the data provided in earlier documentation leads one to conclude that this
referred to traces of painting done during the renewal of the Ascension
Church in the time of Archbishop Danilo II. [[Projekat Ministarstva nauke
