Solemn Welcome of Bishop Joanikije in Berane

In a magnificent gathering, in front of the Djurdjevi Stupovi monastery, people of the Vasojevic clan organized by themselves a welcoming party for His Grace Bishop Joanikije of Budimlye-Niksic on Sunday evening, 17 May 2020.

The faithful gathered in a great number, respect and love for their competent Bishop and Church, expressed their joy by shouting: We give up our lives, but sacred places not! Bishop, our pride, we will defend our sacred places! Long Live the Bishop! We want prayer processions!

Bishop Joanikije thanked in his hierarchal sermon for the support and love which were expressed for their  faith, Church, clergy and for him personally as well.
