Patriarch Pavle of Serbia prayerfully commemorated on 11th anniversary of his repose

His Holiness Patriarch of Serbia (+ 2009) was and is greatly beloved by the Serbian Orthodox faithful and the Orthodox faithful throughout the world. Hundreds of thousands filled the streets 11 years ago to bid farewell to their holy archpastor.

And yesterday, Sunday, November 15, Patriarch Pavle was prayerfully commemorated on the 11th anniversary of his repose, as Patriarchal Vicar Bishop Stephen of Remesiana celebrated the Divine Liturgy and a memorial parastas for both Patriarch Pavle and the newly-departed Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro at Rakovica Monastery near Belgrade.

Feast of the Translation of the Relics of Saint George

On this day we commemorate the translation of the relics of St. George, from Nicomedia, where he suffered at the time of Emperor Diocletian, to the city of Lydda in Palestine. The suffering of this wonderful saint is described on April 23. Anticipating his martyrdom, St. George begged his servant to take his relics to Palestine, where his mother had been born, and where he had distributed his large estate to the poor. The servant did so. During the reign of Emperor Constantine, pious Christians built a beautiful church to St. George in Lydda and, upon the consecration of that church, the relics of the saint were interred there. Innumerable miracles have occurred from these miracle-working relics of St. George, the great-martyr of Christ.
