Srpska Tradicija

This Serbian store is somewhat hidden amidst the many restaurants and stores on Lawrence Ave. It’s easy to walk by and not notice it. But I was curious to see what they offered and checked the place out recently.
They have everything Serbian — Serbian CDs, DVDs, books, flasks, t-​shirts, souvenirs, religious paintings, traditional clothes, and more. Definitely a must see place for those of you who are of Serbian descent, and non-​Serbian people like me who are just plain curious. I honestly don’t know of any other Serbian stores in Chicago (there are a few Serbian restaurants and churches, though), so this place is a unique sight.

Drive west on Lawrence Ave. to the once predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Albany Park and now find a real melting pot of many cultures working and doing business together. It’s really a paradise of adventure for those that are seeking and hunting for the unusual, the imported and the unique.
Discover Srpska Tradicijia (Serbian Tradition) and if you’re a collector of icons, this is like discovering oil in your backyard. There are countless religious icons here, mainly of Serbian style, that are just magnificent.
All sizes and varieties and pricing from $ 6.00 on up.
All Byzantine or Orthodox icons are quite similar in what is being depicted however, a sharp eye can tell them apart from the Greek, Russian, Serbian and Ukrainian styles, as well as that of many other countries too numerous to mention.
Srpska Tradicija also has many videos, CD’s, books, folk art, ethnic dolls, clothing and pottery but, it’s tremendous display of icons are certainly the lure for any iconic connoisseur.
This is a Serbian Store of heritage and pride but, you would be amazed at how wonderful, a fun item from this select store would enhance your living space.
Street parking is difficult and congested but, don’t let that deter your curiosity. You just might find a store around the corner, that has something just as marvelous, that nobody else knows about, yet that is!
