Church of Nativity of The Most Holy Theotokos (Serbian: Црква Рођења Пресвете Богородице) is a Serbian Orthodox church in the village of Novaci, Serbia. It was built in 1857 and is dedicated to the Nativity of The Most Holy Theotokos (Virgin Mary).

Frescos
The church was painted in 1937 by the famous Russian painter Andrej Bicenko. Bicenko had escaped from Russia after the October Revolution, and lived in Serbia from 1920 to 1951, during which time he painted many frescos. A particularly interesting fresco in this church is Lord of Sabbath, which shows Jesus and his disciples walking through grain fields on the Sabbath day.
