Here is a quote from that book that aptly applies to our study of saints: A biography, “The Life of Saint Sava”, by Nicholai Velimirovich, is an excellent source of more history and stories of the miracles he performed and experienced. And thus he started the renovation of Hilandar Monastery at Mt. “St Sava heard mysterious voices commanding him to build something for his people that can serve as a harbor of salvation. Sava’s life, disappointed with the struggle within the ruling body of the young Serbian Kingdom, Sava withdrew to his House of Silence in Studenica and offered a prayer to God, “ to let him die in a foreign country.” This was in protest against political disorder at home, his appeal to the conscience of his people, and his conviction that he would work for their salvation from outside.” His tomb in Milesevo became the source of grace, health, and consolation for all Serbian generations to come.Īt the end of St. St Sava is known for deep meditation as well as action. He powerfully influenced his church to use peaceful means against its opponents. Through his efforts, they emerged as a spiritually unified entity.Įven though he lived in violent times, he refused to endorse the persecution of heretics and unbelievers. His importance extends far beyond his own lifetime, and Christians and Muslims alike venerated him and attributed miraculous power to him. Well loved Serbian saint, dedicated his life to his people and his church, His life was shaped by prayer and concern for others, he modeled the characteristics of being meek yet strong, a man of great compassion and great leadership skills. As such, individuals throughout the Church Universal are honoured, such as Paul the Apostle, Augustine of Hippo and John Wesley, in addition to individuals who have personally led one to faith in Jesus, such as one’s grandmother or friend.Īn early Serbian Christian saint, Saint Sava, is a good example of a humble yet powerful saint during his own lifetime as well as centuries after his death, who inspired and led many people to faith in God. In Methodist theology, All Saints Day revolves around “giving God solemn thanks for the lives and deaths of his saints”, including those who are “famous or obscure”. In Catholic theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. The Christian celebration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day stems from a belief that there is a powerful spiritual bond between those in heaven (the “Church triumphant”), the living (the “Church militant”, and the “Church penitent” which includes the faithful departed. The veneration of and supplication to sacred ancestors exist in almost every culture, in every hemisphere.” Richard Vosko Faith & ForumĪccording to the catechism of the Catholic Church “What is the Church if not the Communion of the Saints.” “Paying homage to religious heroes and heroines is nothing new. As such, individuals throughout the Church Universal are honoured, such as Paul the Apostle, Augustine of Hippo and John Wesley, in addition to individuals who have personally led one to faith in Jesus, such as one’s grandmother or friend. In Catholic theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven.
