The size of the temple is amazing, but the interior is very artistic and I feel that it has the blessing of God.

[@whereafterdeathafterdeath2087]

It is amazing the meaning of every icon and its position in the church exactly like all orthodox churches. Greetings from Coptic Orthodox Church

[@nikolaivanovic3163]

Just for the info... Saint Sava was a member of the most powerful and most influential Serbian medieval royal dynasty. The Nemanjic dynasty. This family, which ruled Serbia for more than 200 years, produced 3 grand princes, 8 Serbian kings, 2 emperors and 2 archbishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Saint Sava was born in 1174 as the youngest son of the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty, Stefan Nemanja (born in 1113, grand zupan from 1166 to 1196). When he came of age (in the Middle Ages this limit was 16 years old for boys) his father gave him a province (Herzegovina) to teach him how to be a ruler one day. But after only one year Saint Sava literally said: "I don't want this. I don't want power, money, titles and crown. I want to become a monk and devote my life to God". And so, at the age of 17 or 18, Saint Sava went to Mount Athos in the then Byzantine Empire. His father was against it at first but eventually accepted his son's wish. In other words, a prince just voluntarily renounced his power and went to a monastery! This is an almost unimaginable scenario in the entire history of the world, then or now! Especially now. As a monk, Saint Sava became the greatest Serb of all time... Not because I say so, but because other Serbs who can carry that unofficial title said so. The greatest Serbian scientists, Nikola Tesla and Mihajlo Pupin, the greatest Serbian writer, Petar II Petrović Njegoš, the greatest Serbian athlete, Novak Djokovic... They all agree that Saint Sava is the man. So what did he do? Saint Sava wrote the first Serbian code (with both civil and church laws), he wrote the first Serbian constitution, and he was also a writer (he wrote several books as well). He was a world-class diplomat, a polyglot, a great theologian and spiritual man. He was also a teacher, an enlightener and a man who built a large number of churches, monasteries, schools and hospitals. His most famous monastery is Hilandar, which is located on Mount Athos and which Saint Sava built together with his father, who also became a monk after he gave his crown to his son Stefan in 1196. Hilandar is also the first Serbian university. But most important of all... Thanks to his diplomatic skills, Saint Sava managed to get recognition from the Byzantine Empire for the creation of an independent Serbian Orthodox Church in 1219. He also became the first archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church (Serbian Church became a patriarchate during the reign of Emperor Stefan Uros IV Dusan Nemanjic, but no Nemanjic was ever a partarch). Because of his great contribution to Orthodox Christianity, Saint Sava was declared a saint Equal to Apostles, which is the greatest possible honor in the Orthodox world. Despite the fact that the Turks, the Catholic church and the communists tried to destroy the memory of Saint Sava among the Serbian people and Serbian people in general, he still remained our spiritual father and the most important figure in the history of Serbia.

What was before Ayia Sofia and what is after Ayia Sofia is the Orthodox Religion. Your faith will get you to heaven. Then no earthly wonders, can explain Gods heavenly wonders. The Orthodox Religion is not boastful but relies on “Love”

[@Kartal-tp8qq]

Actually we put some sort of protection unknowingly which helped the inside to be preserved. You should be angry at Roman Catholics for massacring orthodox people and stealing gold from the icons in Hagia Sophia.

[@brianbuiles1322]

Saint Sava is a good modern day representation of what Hagia Sophia would be today. This is a beautiful church.

[@slobodanstojanovic8125]

St.Sava Temple was made after Hagia Sophia in Constantinople,its on purpose built little smaller coz Hagia Sophia is for us Orthodox Christians our Mother Church so we didnt want to make it bigger on purpose,but coz turks made a museum of it we want to have Hagia Sophia close until we return the old one back,its literally Hagia Sophia at home :)

It's modeled after Constantinople's St. Sophia, I guess?

[@milanius6283]

In a way, yes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbo-Byzantine_architecture

[@satojko7809]

Yes it is

[@BobanN-gz2gj]

It is made after St Sophia in serbo-byzantine style. Saint Sava is slightly taller, but slightly smaller temple (although it is very big, too). I believe this was done intentionally because no orthodox church can be bigger and more beautiful than St Sophia until the day of Return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hopefull one day St Sophia will again be a church physically because it is a church in all other aspects. Until then and after all of us have magnificent St Sava temple. Interestingly, on each of many entrance doors of the temple is written the same prayer in dozens of world languages. This is because it was said: "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” New Testament.

[@niernightgaming2925]

It's a CHURCH, not a "temple". Temples are😮 Ancient Grecian,Roman, Egyptian or modern day Masonic temples. Please learn the difference

[@WalkersStory]

In Serbia, the word "hram" is rooted for this place of worship, which means TEMPLE in English. The church is called "crkva" in Serbian, the cathedral is called "katedrala" in Serbian, so these last two cannot be used in this translation... I understand what the temple means, but in Serbia it is used for certain places of worship, this is the temple of St. Sava and 20 meters next to it is the church of St. Sava and it is very small compared to this building...
