The Life of St Sava

Nicholai Velimirovich
Introduction by Veselin Kesich

“THE LIFE OF ST SAVA is an account of an unusual saint, written by an unusual bishop. The saint is Sava, founder and patron of the Serbian Orthodox church, and the author is Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich (1880-1956). The lives of both men are vital parts of the history of the Serbian Orthodox Church. [...]Bishop Nicholai had the rare gift of spiritual leadership. He was a good shepherd of his flock. Starting as a shepherd of his father’s sheep, he became the Shepherd of his people, both in war and peace, at home and in diaspora. He shared with his flock its triumphs and tragedies. And his flock remember Bishop Nicholai — the Shepherd, the Preacher and the Teacher, Churchman and Prophet, true successor to St Sava.”
