When I visited the church of St. Sava during the liturgy, for a moment I did not know whether I was in heaven or on earth. It was such a powerful spiritual experience.

[@IvainTures]

It’s an amazing place and I totally can relate to that feeling! Thanks so much for watching!

@@nemanjazemunac268 Jeste, jos samo da su i Srbi pravi hriscani ko sto nisu... Toliko zlata u jednoj crkvi baceno, a gladni ljudi bauljaju po Srbiji, bolesna deca cekaju na sms donacije da bi prezivela, bolnice izgledaju ko potop da su prezivele dok SPC svestenstvo mafija u bogatstvu za koje ne placa porez, pri tom non stop izbijaju afere u redovima "izabranika bozijih"...

Felt the same energy that made me cry when visited. You simply feeling overwhelmed with unexplained emotions. Serbian people donated lots of money at the worst times when the sanctions were hitting them really badly. Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. Hope you come back soon for your spiritual healing.

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 prince 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 patriarch). 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.

I fail to see how playing US anthem with Serbian saints and the temple in the backround is appropriate, especially because US is the main culprit in the biggest crime committed against Serbian population post WWII. That being said, i like ur video, im glad ur having fun, i wish u no harm, dont get me wrong. But i remember the lies spread, said and "thoroughly explained" about the whole former YU coflict by the west, with US as the ring leader, i remember what was done and how much suffer, destruction, misery and pain US brought to us by "spreading democracy", not to mention banned by UN convention cluster munition with depleted uranium, feel free to check whats the cancer rate in former YU, and whats now in Serbia, compliments from the US&EU "peace alliance". So, understanding what i do, i personally have a problem with that combination at the end...

While the overall shape of St. Sava's temple is indeed modeled after Hagia Sophia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia), the interior is very much in the spirit of Venice's Saint Mark's Basilica (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mark%27s_Basilica#/media/File:St_Marks_Basilica_Ceiling_2_(7236759984).jpg), which itself was modeled after the Church of the Holy Apostles (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Holy_Apostles) built in Constantinople in the VI century. That church was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1461. The temple thus pays homage to 3 iconic buildings, one of which is no longer there, one which is there but much altered, and the third one that is probably the best example of "west meets east" and actually affords us a better memory of the first one.
