Lady explains Orthodox Crypt and More at Sava Church / Храм Светог Саве. - Belgrade Serbia - ECTV

Donate. =)
donorbox.org/eric-clark-s-tra...
The Church of Saint Sava (Serbian: Храм Светог Саве / Hram Svetog Save, lit. 'The Temple of Saint Sava'[a]) is a Serbian Orthodox church which sits on the Vračar plateau in Belgrade, Serbia. It was planned as the bishopric seat and main cathedral of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The church is dedicated to Saint Sava, the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. It is built on the presumed location of St. Sava's grave. His coffin had been moved from Mileševa Monastery to Belgrade. It was placed on a pyre and burnt in 1595 by Ottoman Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha. Bogdan Nestorović and Aleksandar Deroko were finally chosen to be the architects in 1932 after a second revised competition in 1926/27 (first awarded to the Krstić Brothers). This sudden decision instigated an important debate in interwar Yugoslavia which centred around the temple's size, design and symbolic national function.[6][7][8][9][10] This was accompanied by a sizeable increase in the base area of the ambitiously conceived project. The new design departed from the competition guidelines issued in 1926, and was to replicate the dimensions and architecture of Hagia Sophia.[11]

    About the temple, it was built on a place where is believed that holy remains of St. Sava were burned by the Turks as a revenge for Serbian uprising in 1594. Building started in 1935. and were stopped 1941. with a WW2 and restarted in 1984 after Tito's death and decline of communism, during the 1990's it was stopped again because of the wars and sanctions only to be restarted again in 2002. Construction is mainly founded by donations but Serbia and Russia also financed parts of it. Lower level is done and it is a crypt and will be a burial place for Patriarchs of Serbian Orthodox Church. Those "pictures" are icons, pictures of saints. And what she said is wrong, women can be saints it is just fewer of them. Sveta Petka is one of more "famous" but there are others. And when you go inside of a church tradition is that you come to the icon that is on the pedestal cross and than kiss the icon. And about St. Sava, he was first Serbian enlightener or educator and founder of Serbian "branch" of Orthodox Church. In Orthodox church there are many "regional" churches so you have Serbian, Bulgarian, Russian, Greek etc. they are all Orthodox, basically more or less it is just regional division...

As for the regional Churches...not as exact as you've noted... The Russian Orthodox Church is over many countries... and the Greek Orthodox Church is in reality 4 patriarchates and 2 independent Churches... the Patriarchates cover the entire middle east and the independent Church is that of Cyprus...all founded by the Apostles themselves and except for Cyprus and Greece.. the mother 4 Patriarchates , Constantinople, Alexandria, Antiochias, and Jerusalem, cover many countries in the Middle East...

    She didn't exactly explain it well Eric, but Ostrog is a monastery literally built into a side of a mountain xD, and the holiest of all places besides obviously Jerusalem, in Serbian/Greek orthodox religion, is Mount Athos (Света Гора) which is one of the so called "fingers" (peninsulas) of Greece, it is filled some of the oldest and grandest monasteries still in existence, the greatest for Serbian people being Hilandar that was founded by the very same "Saint Sava" (Свети Сава) that this monastery is named after. On Athos no women are allowed and I believe they only let a limited amount of tourists per day (including me back in 2012 I believe). I have to say, Athos is one of the most peaceful places in the world, I felt spiritually at peace, and remember that was coming from me at like age of 10, that wanted to play tag or some crap.

    Yes, women can be saints, and can be painted on iconostasis, but they cannot be priests. The altar is the holiest part of the temple, and the priest leads the Liturgy (the Eucharist) and consecrates the Holy Gifts (The body of Christ) in it, for Holy Communion. All the saints on the frescoes are real people, and can be proven.

I remember more than 30 yrs ago my grandma always made a donation for St. Sava Temple, me and my family too amd many other people in every church in Serbia you could donate and it's still not done yet. While priests drive Audis,BMWs etc of 30 000+ euros. I am anti communist but blame communists in this case is total BS. St.Sava Temple is the biggest shame of Serbian Ortodox Church administration and the biggest monument of their corruption.

They deal with so many human issues on a constant basis & also have to deal with the politics of the people. I wish they were driving around in Mercedes, but they are not.
