Eldress Justina Has Reposed


Another holy figure is found in the hands of her Creator. The Abbess of the Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Koropi, Eldress Justina, was translated to life having spent her life in unconditional love for all.

The funeral service was celebrated by Metropolitan Amfilohije of the Serbian Church and Metropolitan Nicholas of Lavriou and Mesogeias on Wednesday 15 March 2012 in the Katholikon of the Monastery, with dozens of priests, monks and lay people in attendance.

Metropolitan Amfilohije during the funeral reported on the personality of the eldress, who was associated with Saint Justin Popovich and became a noted spiritual mother of many Serbs and four bishops. He referred to the benevolent care she gave to those who were suffering and described eloquently how from the days of her youth to those of that of a school teacher she guided many souls to the Lord.

Her burial took place on the grounds of the Monastery next to the Katholikon.

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.
