Church of the Holy Mother of God (Crkva Ruzica) in Belgrade, Serbia
Church of the Holy Mother of God (Crkva Ruzica) in Belgrade, Serbia
Ružica Church is a Serbian Orthodox church located in the Belgrade Fortress, in Belgrade, Serbia. A church of the same name existed on the site in the time of Stefan Lazarević. It was demolished in 1521 by the invading Ottoman Turks. The church was used as a gunpowder magazine in the 18th century, and was converted into a military church between 1867 and 1869. Heavily damaged during the First World War, the church was renovated in 1925 by Russian architect Nikolay Krasnov. The iconostasis was carved by Kosta Todorović, and the icons painted by Rafailo Momčilović. The walls were covered in paintings by Andrej Bicenko, a Russian artist.
The entire western side of the nave is taken up by a composition depicting Christ's famous Sermon on the Mount, his seated listeners including army chaplain Petar Trbojević, King Aleksandar I and Queen Marija Karađorđević, as well as King Petar I and Russian King Nikolay II Romanov. This fresco was painted by famous Russian academy artist Andrei Bicenko.
The interior boasts three chandeliers (polyelei) made of spent cartridges, cannon ammunition, officers’ swords and the pistols of soldiers from the Macedonian (Thessaloniki) Front. This is probably what earned it a place on the Atlas Obscura site as one of the world’s unusual locations.

Serbia: Putin, Vucic witness mosaic completion ceremony in Church of St. Sava
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Serbian President Alexander Vucic took part in the completion ceremony of the mosaic image in Serbian Orthodox temple of St. Sava in Belgrade on Thursday.
The presidents inserted the missing mosaic elements into the icon of Jesus Christ.
The heads of the two countries added small pieces of the mosaic into the tricolour nimbus, symbolizing the commonwealth of Russia and Serbia.
The man behind the restoration project, an artist of the Russian Federation Nikolai Mukhin jokingly invited Putin to become a member of the mosaic brigade. In response, the president asked when the next salary was going to be, but, laughing, stressed that such things would always be done disinterestedly.
The artists of the project asked the presidents to leave autographs on the sketch of the image of the Saviour.
Arriving at the temple, Putin and Vucic also set candles to one of the icons, and then went to inspect its decoration.
Upon leaving the Orthodox temple, the President of Russia took a microphone and said to thousands of people standing in the square near the temple - Thank you for your friendship.
The Church of Saint Sava is one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world. At the moment, it creates a mosaic that will become the largest in the world by area. About 125 thousand people gathered in the square near the church.

Temple of Saint Sava - Catedrala Sfântu Sava - Hram svetog Save (Belgrade, Serbia)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The temple, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world (after some, the largest), is a symbol of the Serbian people, raised in honor of Saint Sava, the spiritual patron of Serbia. Saint Sava (Свети Сава - Sveti Sava), 1175 - 1235, Orthodox monk and son of a Serbian ruler, has the merit of being realized in 1217 the Serbian National Church self-governing, being its first archbishop. He was also the creator of Serbian literature and legislation, the founder of a monastery on Mount Athos, a diplomat, etc. The cathedral was built on the ashes of the relics of Saint Sava burned exactly in this place in 1494 at the command of the Ottoman Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha to humiliate and kneel the faith and thirst for freedom of the Serbs. Wanted by Serbs since 1894, the sanctuary was built very hard, in 65 years (between 1939-2004, with interruption between 1941-1958). The Temple of Saint Sava is made in Byzantine-Serbian style, its architecture being inspired by the St. Sophia cathedrals in Constantinople and Christ the Savior in Moscow. In short, we can specify that it is 80 m high, on the roof are 18 golden crosses (of which the one on the central dome is 12 m high and 4 tons weight), four bell-towers that hold 49 bells and can easily shelter 10,000 people. As a special technical achievement it is worth mentioning the central dome with a diameter of 35 m and 4,000 tons weight, built on the ground and raised to the final position in 20 days. I also noticed the support received from the Orthodox Russia (inspiration, design, bronze statue of Saint Sava, consistent financial help, mosaic specialists ...) Opened with great pomp on May 10, 2004 (the day of the burning of Saint's Sava relics), the building is still in the works for decoration. These do not refer to a simple painting but to grandiose mosaics totaling 17,000 square meters (572 icons of saints), works that are expected to be completed in 2022. For this reason the large church is closed to the public, but you can visit the basement transformed into church and sheltering fragments of the vestments of Saint Sava. Although conceived as a hall for cultural-religious activities, the church in the basement impresses greatly. Near the temple there is a small but beautiful Church also dedicated to Saint Sava (Crkva Svetog Save), a historical and art monument erected in 1935 and housing the remains of Patriarch Varnava.

Catedrala, una dintre cele mai grandioase biserici ortodoxe din lume (după unii, cea mai mare), este un simbol al poporului sârb, ridicat în cinstea Sfântului Sava, patronul spiritual al Serbiei. Sfântul Sava (Свети Сава - Sveti Sava), 1175 – 1235, fiu de domnitor sârb și călugăr ortodox, are meritul de a fi realizat în 1217 Biserica Națională Sârbă autecefală, fiind primul ei arhiepiscop. De asemenea, el a fost creatorul literaturii și legislației sârbe, fondator al unei mănăstiri pe Muntele Athos, diplomat etc. Catedrala a fost construită pe cenușa moaștelor Sfântului Sava arse exact în acest loc în anul 1494 la porunca Marelui Vizir otoman Sinan Pașa pentru a umili și îngenunchea credința și setea de libertate a sârbilor. Dorită de sârbi încă din anul 1894, catedrala-simbol a fost construită însă foarte greu, de-a lungul a 65 de ani (între anii 1939-2004, cu întrerupere între anii 1941-1958). Este realizată în stil bizantino-sârbesc, arhitectura ei fiind inspirată de catedralele Sfânta Sofia din Constantinopol și Hristos Mântuitorul din Moscova. Are 80 m înălțime, pe acoperiș sunt 18 cruci aurite (din care cea de pe domul central are 12 m înălțime și 4 tone), patru turle-clopotniță care adăpostesc 49 clopote și poate găzdui cu ușurință 10.000 de oameni. Ca realizare tehnică este de amintit domul central având diametrul de 35 m și 4.000 tone, construit la sol și ridicat pe poziția finală timp de 20 de zile. De asemenea, am remarcat sprijinul primit din partea Rusiei ortodoxe (sursă de inspirație, proiectare, statuia de bronz a Sfântului Sava, ajutor financiar consistent, specialiștii mozaicari ...) Inaugurată cu mare fast în ziua de 10 mai 2004 (ziua arderii moaștelor Sfântului Sava), clădirea este încă în lucru pentru realizarea decorațiilor. Acestea nu se referă la o ”simplă” pictură ci la grandioase mozaicuri totalizând 17.000 m2 (572 icoane de sfinți), lucrări care se preconizează a fi terminate în 2022. Din această cauză biserica mare este închisă publicului, dar se poate vizita subsolul transformat în biserică și adăpostind fragmente din veșmintele Sfântului Sava. Deși gândită ca sală pentru activități culturale-religioase, biserica de la subsol impresionează foarte mult. Lângă catedrală se găsește o mică dar frumoasa Biserică închinată de asemenea Sfântului Sava (Crkva Svetog Save), monument istoric și de artă ridicat în anul 1935 și adăpostind moaștele Patriarhului Varnava.

Footage shows the Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej blessing the 'badnjak,' or oak branches, which are traditionally burned on the fire. Milorad Dodik, the Serb member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina presidency, also attended.
We like coming here on this day since we have our own family, our children. They can see a staged Christmas village, meet other children, see our tradition and learn from an early age about our customs and rituals, said one believer.
Christmas is celebrated on January 7 in Serbia, according to the Julian calendar. Orthodox Christmas is also celebrated by Russia, Georgia, Bulgaria and Macedonia.

Patriarch of Belgrade visits Families of the Martyred and Kidnapped Orthodox Christians of Kosovo
His Holiness Orthodox Metropolitan of Belgrade, Serbian Patriarch Irenaeus has visited Families of the Kidnapped and Murdered Serbian Orthodox Christians in Kosovo and Metohija province (Serbia). Thousands of Orthodox Christians in Kosovo were killed or kidnapped (For organ trafficking) by the Albanian Radical Islamists who were supported by the United States of America and NATO pact, in period of 1998-2004.
His Holiness has reminded that justice cannot be achieved in this world, but that it will be achieved by the Victorious Lord Jesus Christ, and that comfort will be achieved then.

Thousands join Serbian church protest in Belgrade
(8 Jan 2020) Thousands of people marched in Serbia's capital on Wednesday, protesting against alleged suppression of religious rights of Serb minorities in neighbouring countries.
The protest in Belgrade came after a call to action by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Orthodox priests led a procession through downtown Belgrade to the landmark St. Sava Temple, one of the world's largest Orthodox churches.
Protesters said they were marching to highlight the suffering of Serbs living in Montenegro, Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia and elsewhere in the Balkans.
The demonstration featured religious iconography, including Serbian church flags and paintings, with one banner reading It's time for God's justice.
A religion rights law was adopted last month by the Parliament of Montenegro, which Serbian nationalists claim will lead to the impounding of Serbian church property in the country.
Montenegrin officials have denied the claim.

Saint Sava Church, Belgrade, Serbia
Cathedral of Saint Sava, Belgrade
The Cathedral of Saint Sava (Hram Svetog Save) is the largest Serbian Orthodox church, the largest Orthodox place of worship in the Balkans and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. It is located on the eastern part of the Svetosavski Trg square on the Vračarski Plato in Belgrade. It was raised on the spot where it is thought that in 1595 Sinan-Pasha burned the relics of Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. This memorial cathedral is an organic component of Belgrade's contemporary skyline, and one of its key features.
The church was built in the Serbian-Byzantine style, with four 44 m-high steeples. At its highest point the dome is 70 m in height, while the main gilded cross is an additional 12 m high, giving the Cathedral a total height of 82 m and a height above sea level of 134 m (64 m above the level of the Sava river). For this reason the church occupies a prominent place on Belgrade's horizon and can be seen from all approaches to the city. The church occupies an area of 3500 m² at floor level, with an additional 1500 m² in the three galleries on the first level. There are more galleries 120 m2 in area on the second level, where a panoramic outside view can be seen all around the dome. The church extends 91 m in the east-west direction, and 81 m in the north-south direction. The domes are decorated with 18 gilded crosses of three different sizes, while the belfries house 49 bells.
The church can accommodate 10,000 believers at any one time, and the western choir gallery can hold 800 choristers. Beneath the floor of the church, there are vaults and the crypt of Saint Sava as well as the burial church of Holy Prince Lazar, totalling 1800 m² in area. The cathedral is clad in white marble and granite, while the murals, which are yet to be undertaken, will be mosaics. The plan is for the main dome to be decorated with a huge mosaic of Christ Pantocrator.

Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter in Serbia
(28 Apr 2019) Serbian Christians on Sunday flocked to churches across the country to celebrate Orthodox Easter.
In Belgrade, dozens of believers attended mass in St. Sava Church on Sunday morning, gathering inside an ornate crypt embellished with Orthodox style icons and big chandeliers.
Patriarch Irinej, the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, led the morning mass.
Easter represents a period of hope for Orthodox Christians - a time when, nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ was said to have risen from the grave after dying for the sins of humanity.

YUGOSLAVIA: BELGRADE: SERBIAN CELEBRATE ORTHODOX EASTER
Serbo-Croat/Nat
Now the war is over, Serbians are celebrating Orthodox Easter with a sense of peace and hope for the future.
With their Easter falling one month after that of other Christian denominations, most Serbians see it as symbolic of a new beginning.
But for post-war Serbia's 550-thousand registered refugees, struggling to make ends meet, the start of a new and better life is still far away.
Since the fall of Communism, the Orthodox Church has had a renaissance in Serbia.
No longer suppressed, Serbians have turned to the church seeking traditional values and observing its religious holidays.
Following the Julian calender, Orthodox Easter falls on April 27th.
Belgraders flocked to the St. Alexander Nevski church to celebrate the holiday - one of rebirth and regeneration.
The church sees itself as one of the leaders of Serbia's regeneration and a unifier of the country following the five-year war in former Yugoslavia, which tore it apart.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
We had the misfortune that they (communists) ruled for 50 years and still rule. So, the Serbian Orthodox Church has a great task ahead to, God willing, help spiritual, religious and national rebirth of our people, that Man may become filled with love for one's fellow human beings in order to eliminate all hatred.
SUPER CAPTION: Father Ljuba Petrovic, Head of St. Alexander Nevski Church, Belgrade
Belgraders hurry to market places for the last-minute purchase of eggs which are traditionally painted at home on Good Friday in bright colours of red and green.
However, for Serbia's refugees, Easter is another reminder of the lives they left behind because of the war.
There are 600 refugees at the collective camp of Krnjaca, 10 km from the Serbian capital of Belgrade.
They are among some 550-thousand registered refugees living in Serbia after the war.
Milka, a 39-yr. old refugee from Croatia, remembers bygone days.
Sitting beside her 12-year old daughter Lela, who is suffering from Cerebral Palsy, Milka talks of the difficulties she faces every day to make ends meet and care for her daughter.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
We gather what we can to mark (Easter), it cannot be as it was
before but what can I do, I have to come to terms with it.
SUPER CAPTION: Milka, Croatian refugee
Patriarch Pavel, Head of the Serb Orthodox Church, holds the midnight service on Easter Saturday in Belgrade Cathedral.
He leads his congregation around the church, circling it three times, in homage to the Christian Holy Trinity - God, his son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The ritual is symbolic of the sufferings of Christ and his resurrection, but it is also an apt analogy for present day Serbia.
Candles are lit both in memory of the deceased and in hope for the living.
For the refugees of Serbia, however, hope is not enough as they try to rebuild their lives amidst an uncertain future.
