Theologian Miloš Stojković claims that Andrej and Anđelko Vućić donated one million euros to Hilandar so that the Girdle of the Blessed Virgin Mary would come to Belgrade. He is a scholar of the Holy Monastery who kissed the hand of the President of Serbia at the Informer event. He later stated that he was misunderstood
The Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was kissed by more than 915.000 believers, was escorted from the Church of Saint Sava on Saturday, June 6, with a church and military ceremony
"As a movement that brings together people of different beliefs, we consider it important to remind one simple thing: the right to dignity does not depend on what someone believes in," the students pointed out.
The belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be in the church of Saint Sava until Saturday, June 6. Queues are still huge, waiting more than eight hours for a kiss
A community that rests on laws has been destroyed and thrown to predators. That is why people try to find a minimum of common substance, the smallest common content that would convince them that they are not alone. Hence the queues in front of the miraculous fabric
"We also pray for them and try to love them, understand them and want their hearts to be warmed by the love of God and their spiritual eyes to be opened," says Patriarch Porfirio
The administration of the Church of St. Sava keeps an accurate record of the number of believers who come to kiss the Girdle of the Virgin, primarily for security reasons, announced the SPC
"Informer" "informed and enlightened women" and gave them the blessing that they may kiss the Girdle of the Blessed Virgin even when they are menstruating
Believers wait for up to nine hours to kiss the miraculous girdle of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is displayed in the Church of Saint Sava. Especially for women, this is a unique opportunity to bow before one of the most revered relics in the Orthodox world. The pilgrimage takes place in very complex political circumstances, not only in the state, but also within the Serbian Orthodox Church
The Belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary will remain in the Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade until June 5, announced Patriarch Porfirije, following the decision of the Vatoped Monastery to extend its display due to the great interest of believers. According to unofficial data, on Wednesday, believers waited up to nine hours to pay homage to the belt of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
If there are any individuals whom the Church will mourn, it is only those whose suffering is a symbol of the Serbian suffering from external enemies. The suffering of individuals at the hands of the authorities, including the suffering of the girl who was beaten by the police, did not encourage the Church to take her side. I have the impression, at least in my mind, that in this case the merciful heart of the Church was on the side of the policeman, because he is pitifully fighting against the great scourge which - as the patriarch and other bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church repeat - arrived in Serbia from the hostile West, he is fighting against the "colored revolution".
