The Hand of St. Thekla in Sarajevo


The hand of St. Thekla is found in the Church of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Sarajevo. On her feast day, September 24th, the relic leads a procession, and according to tradition waters are sanctified in the church with the hand of St. Thekla.

St. Sava of Serbia brought the relic of this first century martyr from Antioch in the year 1233. Patriarch Arsenije IV (Jovanovic) gave the relic to the Serbian Church in Sarajevo in 1733, while it was Metropolitan Sava (Kosanovic) of Sarajevo who took the relics to Russia in 1873 where the golden glove was made.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
