The monastery is known for having the right hand of the Prophet John the Baptist, a part of the Holy Life-Giving Cross of the Lord and the incorrupt relics of St. Peter the Cetinus the Miracle Worker, as well as a particle of the relics of St. Theodore Stratilates. The Filerskaya icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, painted by the holy Apostle Luke, is kept in a museum near the monastery. The Cetinje monastery is rightly considered the heart and soul of Orthodox Montenegro, a symbol of freedom and the strong spirit of Montenegrin.
