God bless Serbian orthodoxy! From America 🇺🇸

Orthodox Serbia ☦️❤️

Béni Seigneur l ’ église de Serbie et son peuple pour cet hommage rendu à St Sava . Gloire à toi Seigneur.

Certainly one of the most beautiful churches in the world!

Penso che Belgrado sia uno di quelli posti sottovalutati, dovrebbe essere nella lista dei posti da visitare in Europa 😊

Just for the info... Saint Sava was a member of the most powerful and most influential Serbian medieval royal dynasty. The Nemanjic dynasty. This family, which ruled Serbia for more than 200 years, produced 3 grand princes, 8 Serbian kings, 2 emperors and 2 archbishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Saint Sava was born in 1174 as the youngest son of the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty, Stefan Nemanja (born in 1113, grand prince from 1166 to 1196). When he came of age (in the Middle Ages this limit was 16 years old for boys) his father gave him a province (Herzegovina) to teach him how to be a ruler one day. But after only one year Saint Sava literally said: "I don't want this. I don't want power, money, titles and crown. I want to become a monk and devote my life to God". And so, at the age of 17 or 18, Saint Sava went to Mount Athos in the then Byzantine Empire. His father was against it at first but eventually accepted his son's wish. In other words, a prince just voluntarily renounced his power and went to a monastery! This is an almost unimaginable scenario in the entire history of the world, then or now! Especially now. As a monk, Saint Sava became the greatest Serb of all time... Not because I say so, but because other Serbs who can carry that unofficial title said so. The greatest Serbian scientists, Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin, the greatest Serbian writer, Petar II Petrović Njegoš, the greatest Serbian athlete, Novak Djokovic... They all agree that Saint Sava is the man. So what did he do? Saint Sava wrote the first Serbian code (with both civil and church laws), he wrote the first Serbian constitution, and he was also a writer (he wrote several books as well). He was a world-class diplomat, a polyglot, a great theologian and spiritual man. He was also a teacher, an enlightener and a man who built a large number of churches, monasteries, schools and hospitals. His most famous monastery is Hilandar, which is located on Mount Athos and which Saint Sava built together with his father, who also became a monk after he gave his crown to his son Stefan in 1196. Hilandar is also the first Serbian university. But most important of all... Thanks to his diplomatic skills, Saint Sava managed to get recognition from the Byzantine Empire for the creation of an independent Serbian Orthodox Church in 1219. He also became the first archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church (Serbian Church became a patriarchate during the reign of Emperor Stefan Uros IV Dusan Nemanjic, but no Nemanjic was ever a partarch). Because of his great contribution to Orthodox Christianity, Saint Sava was declared a saint Equal to Apostles, which is the greatest possible honor in the Orthodox world. Despite the fact that the Turks, the Catholic church and the communists tried to destroy the memory of Saint Sava among the Serbian people and Serbian people in general, he still remained our spiritual father and the most important figure in the history of Serbia.

Beautiful video also great music and timing 😊 We also went here in october 😌

Bas vredi da se vidi

Super!!

Fun fact: 5 Million pieces where used to create all those mosaics. Here is the recording of Cherubim song written by Serbian author Stevan Mokranjac, performed by University of Arkansas Choirs in the Crypt of the temple of St. Sava. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8d1iLmHnZvKnac.html Thank you for the beautiful video.

Please don't call it a "temple". It is a church, cathedral. :Temple is from pagan times:Egyptian, Grecian, Roman , or a Masonic Temple. It is not respectfu, to us Orthodox Christians to call it "temple". Anyway, who calls a church "temple" really?

A very beautiful church inside and out, definitely replicates the same splendor as the Hagia Sophia.
