The Largest Orthodox Church in the World: St. Sava, Belgrade #shorts
[Music] This is St. Sava, the largest Orthodox church in the world and the most iconic landmark in Serbia. Rising from Belgrade’s Vraar district, it was built on the site where the Ottomans burned the relics of St. Sava in 1595, turning an act of erasure into a monument of resilience. Construction began in 1935, but was interrupted by wars and political upheaval for decades. Work resumed slowly in the late 20th century with the exterior completed by the early 2000s and the dazzling mosaics inside continuing well into the 20s and 20s. Built in the Serbo Byzantine style, the temple features a central dome soaring 70 m high, crowned with a 12 m golden cross. Its full height reaches 82 m, placing it among the tallest Orthodox churches on Earth. With room for 10,000 people, St. And Sava dominates Belgrade skyline and embodies centuries of Serbian identity.
Discover the breathtaking story of St. Sava in Belgrade, the largest Orthodox church in the world and Serbia’s most iconic landmark. Built on the spot where the Ottomans burned the relics of Saint Sava in 1595, this masterpiece of Serbo-Byzantine architecture stands as a symbol of faith, history, and national pride. Its massive dome rises 70 meters high, crowned with a golden cross visible across Belgrade.

The Church is not only impressive in visual and architectural terms, but as a prefigure of the fall of European Communism.
"On 12 May 1985, 100,000 people gathered in Belgrade to celebrate with the Serbian Patriarch and twenty bishops a liturgy inside the walls of Saint Sava. Still a part of a communist country, the event marked one of the historic turning points that symbolised the fall of communism in Europe. It was a turning point not only for the building of Saint Sava, but also for the demise of the political concept that lay behind the state atheism of communist Yugoslavia. The rising of the building also marked the return of religion to Yugoslavia." [Wikipedia]
St. Sava's position within Orthodoxy is doubly significant now that the Russian church has been fully co-opted by the m*rderous regime of Vladolf Putler, whose KGB colleague Kuril employs that church to push the ruzzian state's genocide against the peaceful Ukrainian nation. A greater perversion of the teachings of Jesus Christ could scarcely be imagined. All Christians should pray for the day when Kuril will be ousted, and a worthy disciple of Jesus be installed in his place.

I opet turci na kosovu 😊
for nothing, non-believers beat their people in the street and the church supports the fascist criminal regime
Not anymore! The Nation"s Cathedral in Bucharest is bigger
