Dear Readers, since I did not meet my fundraising goal a few months ago in the Spring, and currently am facing a bit of a financial burden that may hinder me from working on this website for a while within a few days, I thought it would be best to appeal to your help to meet my goal at this time. My work here depends on your help, so if you find it beneficial or of interest, please send your financial support. It is greatly appreciated.

Pictures of the Glorification of Two Serbian Saints


In a moving a joyous celebration, on 2 May 2010, a multi-hiearchical Divine Liturgy took place in the Cathedral of St. Savvas in Belgrade to confirm the sainthood of Fr. Justin Popovich and the abbot Fr. Simeon Popovich.

The Divine Liturgy was celebrated by Patriarch Irenaios of Serbia surrounded by twenty-two hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Metropolitan Amphilochios of Montenegro said in his homily: "The decision of the Hierarchy has as its aim the spiritual prosperity of the Serbian people."

The Metropolitan further said: "Fr. Justin and Fr. Simeon always had Christ as an example for their lives, Who glorified them by their life and works. Their names are written in the book of life."

Our Venerable Father Justin Popovich of Chelije (1894-1979) will be commemorated on June 1, and the commemoration of our Venerable Father Simeon Popovich, abbot of the Dajbabe Monastery near Podgorica (1854-1941), will be celebrated on March 19.
