Serbian Orthodox Patriarch dies The Patriarch had been in hospital for two years The head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Pavle, has died in Belgrade, the Church has announced. The 95-year-old patriarch, who became leader of the Church in 1990, was admitted to the city's military hospital two years ago. He died on Sunday morning. Though he reportedly suffered from heart and lung conditions, the Church did not specify the cause of death. Most of Serbia's population of seven million people are Orthodox Christians. Pavle was a respected theologian and linguist, known for personal humility and modesty. After the fall of communism and rise of Serb nationalism, the Church regained a leading role during his rule. www.bbcnews.com [ bbcnews.com]

"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

[ Linked Image] Our prayers go out to all of our Serbian Orthodox brothers and sisters upon the falling asleep of His Holiness Patriarch Pavle. Though small in stature, he was a true spiritual giant. May God grant him eternal memory. Vechnaja pamjat!

Is that glow about his face a reflection of his holiness? I'd suspect so from what I've read about him and his service to Our Lord in His Church.

Patriarch Pavle did much good for the Church and for his people. Memory Eternal! Now we must pray that an appropriate hierarch is elected to be his successor.
