Da se srpska sva srca
S tobom ujedine,
Sunce mira, ljubavi
Da nam svima sine;
Da živimo svi u slozi,
Sveti Savo, ti pomozi,
Pocuj glas svog roda,
Srpskoga naroda!

Saint Sava
Sava was born in 1169 A.D. He was
the son of Stephen [Stefan] Nemanja the Grand Zupan of
the Serbs. As a young man, Sava yearned for the
spiritual life for which he fled to the Holy Mountain
[Mt. Athos] where he was tonsured a monk and with rare
zeal lived according to the ascetical rule. Stefan
Nemanja followed the example of his son and came to the
Holy Mountain where he was tonsured a monk and died as
Simeon, the monk. Sava obtained the independence of the
Serbian Church from the [Byzantine] emperor and
patriarch and became the first Archbishop of the Serbs.
Together with his father, he built the Monastery Hilandar and, after that, many other monasteries,
churches and schools throughout the Serbian lands. On
two occasions, he made a pilgrimage to the sacred places
in the Holy Land. He restored peace between his two
brothers who were estranged because of a struggle for
power. He restored peace between the Serbs and their
neighbors. In establishing the Serbian Church, he was,
through that, establishing the Serbian State and
culture. He instilled peace between all the Balkan
peoples and worked for the benefit of all for which he
was loved and respected by all the Balkan peoples.
 To
the Serbian people he gave a Christian soul which did
not perish with the collapse of the Serbian State. Sava
died in Trnovo, Bulgaria, during the reign of Emperor
Asen, having become ill following the Divine Liturgy on
the Feast of the Epiphany on January 12, 1236 A.D. King
Vladislav translated his body to the Mileshevo Monastery
from which Sinan Pasha removed it and burned it on
Vracar in Belgrade, April 27, 1595 A.D.
