Great love 💕 to dear Christian brothers and sisters living in Ethiopia , Serbia and elsewhere on earth 🌍 🌎🌏 Lol from an Greek Orthodox Christian living in Papua New Guinea ✝️. 🌴🐊🇵🇬
Just for the info... Saint Sava was a member of the most powerful and most influential Serbian medieval royal dynasty. The Nemanjic dynasty. This family, which ruled Serbia for more than 200 years, produced 3 grand princes, 8 Serbian kings, 2 emperors and 2 archbishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Saint Sava was born in 1174 as the youngest son of the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty, Stefan Nemanja (born in 1113, grand prince from 1166 to 1196). When he came of age (in the Middle Ages this limit was 16 years old for boys) his father gave him a province (Herzegovina) to teach him how to be a ruler one day. But after only one year Saint Sava literally said: "I don't want this. I don't want power, money, titles and crown. I want to become a monk and devote my life to God". And so, at the age of 17 or 18, Saint Sava went to Mount Athos in the then Byzantine Empire. His father was against it at first but eventually accepted his son's wish. In other words, a prince just voluntarily renounced his power and went to a monastery! This is an almost unimaginable scenario in the entire history of the world, then or now! Especially now. As a monk, Saint Sava became the greatest Serb of all time... Not because I say so, but because other Serbs who can carry that unofficial title said so. The greatest Serbian scientists, Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin, the greatest Serbian writer, Petar II Petrović Njegoš, the greatest Serbian athlete, Novak Djokovic... They all agree that Saint Sava is the man. So what did he do? Saint Sava wrote the first Serbian code (with both civil and church laws), he wrote the first Serbian constitution, and he was also a writer (he wrote several books as well). He was a world-class diplomat, a polyglot, a great theologian and spiritual man. He was also a teacher, an enlightener and a man who built a large number of churches, monasteries, schools and hospitals. His most famous monastery is Hilandar, which is located on Mount Athos and which Saint Sava built together with his father, who also became a monk after he gave his crown to his son Stefan in 1196. Hilandar is also the first Serbian university. But most important of all... Thanks to his diplomatic skills, Saint Sava managed to get recognition from the Byzantine Empire for the creation of an independent Serbian Orthodox Church in 1219. He also became the first archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church (Serbian Church became a patriarchate during the reign of Emperor Stefan Uros IV Dusan Nemanjic, but no Nemanjic was ever a patriarch). Because of his great contribution to Orthodox Christianity, Saint Sava was declared a saint Equal to Apostles, which is the greatest possible honor in the Orthodox world. Despite the fact that the Turks, the Catholic church and the communists tried to destroy the memory of Saint Sava among the Serbian people and Serbian people in general, he still remained our spiritual father and the most important figure in the history of Serbia.
I am a hindu fron bharat india 🇮🇳🕉️...i love byzantines..so i started learning about the orthodox christianity..and now i can say that if they open an orthodox church in india..im ready to get baptised..im simply memerized and want to learn more about orthodox beliefs, rituals culture..any brother or sister therr to hwlp me 🕉️❣️☦️
Indian orthodox church is inKerala Malakara and almost all major cities in India with the tradition of St.Thomas . St.Marys Orthodox church at Niranam and Thiruvithamcode are extablished by St.Thomas in 52AD . You just search in RU-vid you will get an idea about Indian Orthodox Church and its churches
@@GaryHField yes.....yes...but God works in His own time...and we Hope and Pray that some people, One Day, they will Celebrate the Divine Liturgy there.
To orthodox brothers , please request ur third Rome ( Moscow ) patriarch ( pope of orthodox) to conduct function, celebration for restoring orthodox patriarchate in constantinnople by Mehmet - 2 in 1453 AD DECEMBER. Call Turkish leaders . This will make u and ur neighbours - muslims - with prosperous. Because u r living side by side with muslim people. Pl maintain the distance from ur traditional religious enemies ( catholic)
all of these churches are so beautiful but nothing can compare to Hagia Sophia that church just has something so pure and heavenly to it it's a blessing ☦️♥️
Surely the MOST Beautiful Orthodox Church :) in the whole world is still HAGIA SOFIA In Constantinoupoli - present day Instanbul. The mosaics and icongraphy out of this world :) and second best - the Church at Chora, also in Constantinople :) Some places are just Divine :) Gifts of God to us.
My brother ALL Christians who love one another truly, who are willing to die to save one another's lives, who will serve God and man selflessly, are brothers for ever.❤❤❤
@@madamvaudelune3298yes definitely you are correct ✅ I wel put some word to for those who try to compare church it doesn’t matter if a church is big or small God doesn’t look after a beautiful thing he only looks for the real pure good heart it doesn’t matter for hem a you are ugly or beautiful what God want is a real pure goed heart who doesn’t seek for revenge or something else but love for each other and be willing to give your life to hem.❤❤amen amen amen
My favourite is St Sava’s in Belgrade, that’s the one that most resembles Hagia Sophia, at least what it originally looked like with all the iconography.
St.Sava is made so that resembles Hagia Sophia,its on purpose made to be little smaller coz Hagia Sophia is our Mother Church and it would be a sin if we made it bigger,also all serbian temples,churches,monasteries are done in serbian-byzantine style of architecture
@@slobodanstojanovic8125 Wrong, church of St.Sava is both bigger and taller then Hagia Sophia. The exterior is postmodernist with as byzantine style/Hagia Sophia as inspiration. The interior however is in serbian-byzantine.
Great churches indeed, love them all, wish Heya Sophia classifieds among the greatest ten, I feel sad for this. God bless all the Orthodox Churches around the world. George from Jordan.
Where I live in America the only church not pushing for masks and vaccines was the Serbian Parish which luckily is the one I will God willing be baptized into I am truly thankful for Serbia's contribution to America who is is desperate need for an Orthodox revival which appears to be within the realm off possibility. Prayers are needed 🙏 the protestantism and Latin west is all people associate with the Church most unaware of the True Faith...
Nobody in Serbia likes Vucic president, he is placed there by west he is doing all against Serbia and serbs. And anyway you compare politics with church and people in Serbia....
@@georgez2726 that's nonsensically crap, turks and serbs never been friends and never will be, but western "christians" took the serbian holy land kosovo with hundreds of oldest and most beautiful churches and monasteries and gave it to the muslim albanians
@@OrthodoxExperience I am Georgian. Our country is the second Christian country after Byzantium, which declared Christianity as the official religion. And our church has autocephaly since the 5th century. The Georgian Orthodox Autocephalous Church has many holy fathers and martyrs, such as 100,000 martyrs (martyred in Tbilisi), St. Nino, St. Martyr Ketevan. We have up to a million saints. Our church was founded by the Apostles Andrew, Matthew and Simeon.Our church is a part of the Virgin Mary, she met the Pentecost in this country to preach but could not come due to health and sent Andrew. The robe of Jesus Christ, the robe of the Virgin Mary and many other relics are kept in our country. Today our church’s patriarch is His Holiness Patriarch Ilia, everyone's favorite patriarch. He is 88 years old and has been a patriarch for 44 years. He is a patriarch for half of his life. He build Holy trinity cathedral in Tbilisi.
Holy Trinity Lavra is in a town called Sergiev Posad, not Zagorsk. The godless Soviet authorities changed it from Sergiev Posad to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky. The original name was restored in 1991.
Shout-out to the Agia Dynamis in Athens. It's a tiny church that they built a modern building around it so it's under an overhang. Apparently it used to be a temple of Hercules and there's a secret tunnel leading to a cave system under it. Look it up, it's super cool. I've been there and totally recommend seeing it if you ever go to Athens.
Been there. To be honest I was just roaming the city, and was headed to flea marker , and i was so surprised when I saw it. Beautiful little church. love from Serbia ❤
Church on the Spilled Blood is definitely my personal favorite. Since we live fairly close to St. Petersburg I've been there several times, and it always leaves me in awe. I would add if you are in Piter, St. Isaacs is also very beautiful.
The exterior is just a part of the whole story. The interior means just as much at least. It means more for me. The perfect example is the old Cathedral of the Presentation of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God and the new Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ and the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, both belong the Sretensky monastery, Moscow. The new is quite nice, definitely nicer then the old as it was quite cheap compared to some big old Moscow churches. But when in the monastery I will go the old one, just love being there. IMO most new temples are just too bright inside, I feel so much better in the twilight of old churches. That said, my favorite Moscow church is the oldest one called Cathedral of the Savior of the Holy Image of the Spaso-Andronikov monastery. It is beautiful outside and cosy inside even though it lost all its paintings, it just feels perfect in there.
The author evidently was lost between “beautiful”, “important” and “significant”:) Strange absence of St Isaac’s the Dalmatian’s cathedral in St Petersburg?
Turks burn bones of Saint Sava there and after 300 years we start to building temple and we building it 110 years because of many problems and wars. We needed new Agia Sophia to preserve tradition and show Serbian INAT defiance.
My favourite Russian church is Navy church on Kronstadt island near St Petersburg. Not many people know about this church but it's one of the most beautiful in my opinion
I am sure there is. My seminary classmate, Fr. George, is a convert to Orthodoxy from Judaism in Israel and speaks perfect Hebrew. He is an ordained priest and serves in Jerusalem.

"We knew not whether we were in Heavan or on the earth..." -Russian Primary Chronical, legates of Prince Vladimir of Kiev attending the Divine Liturgy at the central cathedral of the East Roman Empire, the Church of Holy Wisdom (Hagia Sophia) of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, today's "First Throne" of the Eastern Orthodox Church although the Ottoman Turk Califate confiscated the cathedral in 1453 turning it into a Mosque. In 1937 the reform government of Turkey's Attaturk turned it into a museum but the regressive Erdogan returned it to being used as a Mosque. When Hagia Sophia was opened in the 6th century, it was the largest Christian ediface in the world. The Emperor Justinian said, "Soloman, I have outdone thee."

The church of the holy sepulcher is not Orthodox, its shared among all the apostolic churches (Orthodox (Eastern), Oriental Orthodoxy, Roman Catholics).
@@dmytro5990 It's not like it's up to debate, it litterally is shared among several denominations, it serves as a monetary for Franciscan (Catholic) monks, where Catholic mass is sometimes held, along with Orthodox liturgies.
It is a shared space between Orthodox, Armenian, and Roman Catholics. There is an agreement to offered the church worship time BUT it is fully under the administration and care of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem.
