Leaders of the Serbian Church (1219-2021)

From St. Sava in the XIII century to the present days, there were eleven archbishops and fifty-three patriarchs on the throne of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Their seats were in Žiča, Patriarchy of Peć, Sremski Karlovci and Belgrade. Before us are their short biographies, almost encyclopedic, but sufficient to get a hint of all the temptations they were facing and all the burdens they were carrying. This is, therefore, also an impressive way of briefly presenting the entire history of the Serbian nation.

SERBIA - UNDER THE SUN

This is an unusual country. One would think, as Tjutčev did for his country, that this country cannot be understood, it could only be loved.
Serbia is a big mystery. A country of border guards, in between worlds. The house in the middle of the road. The tower of holy warriors. The poem among nations. Yarn of the most ancient memories. This sun in our eyes, this bread on our palm. (...) This is how Serbia is described by its poets, in whom the drama and beauty of the Serbian area and Serbian destiny resonates deeply.
A traveler, if he is open and curious, is often surprised to realize how precious cultural and historical layers on which modern Serbia rests are. The ancient times are here more ancient than elsewhere on the “old continent”. Chroniclers and scientists do not exaggerate when they say that the First Europe was right here, in the Serbian areas in Central Danube region, and that this is the land of the oldest known alphabet in the world.

HOMELAND OF EMPERORS

This series of Roman emperors who were born in Bal-kan provinces came into power at the times when “the crisis of the Empire entered the dark and irretrievable apo-gee”. The first millennium circle of Rome was just closed, cohesion forces weakened, basic values were undermined. Simple, forged in poverty, brave, they were growing up with the profound sense of honor and faith, bringing the original genius loci of these territories and legacy of great memory, they were building, all of them, their military careers on the basic Roman ethical principles: pietas, devotio, fides. In them we recognize ideal, life force and strength, which the Roman Empire was losing rapidly. Having served faithfully to the Empire — says Milan Budimir — they deserved to become masters from subjects, and to dress the effort, hard-ship and sacrifice of generations of ancestors into imperial gowns, as a divine reward. Exactly this connection with the roots from which they had grown, kept bringing them back to the country of their birth. There they searched for eternal peace and memory.

SERBIA - NATIONAL REVIEW



Serbia – Geo-poetical Album

The book before you could be called an album, testimony, anthology of documents. It does not want to persuade. It does not propagate, does not impose, does not spin. It is not a PR, lawyer, blabby advertising agent. Neither is it a tourist reporter, steeped into phrases and the type of self-termination called routine. Just like on a long and beautiful old-fashioned journey, when you sit in a train and open curtains on the window, numerous images will be unraveling in front of you. Watch them calmly and with curiosity, as an explorer, with your eyes and eyes of those to whom you will be telling about the journey. Some of these images you will remember right away, the others you will occasionally retrieve and restore your fine connection, and maybe all of them will merge into one, into a large mosaic portrait of Serbia that you will carry forever.
And do not forget the warning of one of the most ill-fortuned princes in world literature: “It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
