  From the charter of Serbian Empress Mara, wife of Turkish sultan Murat II, the daughter of serbian king George Brankovic, it can be seen that there was an agreement between the Jerusalem Patriarchate and the Serbian church. Serbian monks came to the Lavra of St. Sabbas the Sanctified and freed the monastery from bandits and robbers. They then had built a great tower, and in her chapel, dedicated to St. Simeon. When the Patriarch's throne come the Greeks, and Patriarch Theophilus, wing Serbs money for the construction of the tower and set the abbot of the Greeks. Serbian monks manage Lavra of St. Sabbas the Sanctified 130 years throughout the 16th and first decades of the 17th century.
