Its members hail from the Balkan region, the United States, Canada, and France. Today, and some 30 performances later, Grachanitsa has become known throughout the Northeast for its original choreographies, elaborate costumes, perfected style and attention to detail.
An evening of dance and music will include performances of Grachanitsa and their special guests:

An Introduction to Great Lent by Fr Alexander Schmemann
Excerpts from Fr Alexander Schmemann's Great Lent
When a man leaves on a journey, he must know where he is going. Thus with Lent. Above all, Lent is a spiritual journey and its destination is Easter, "the Feast of Feasts." It is the preparation for the "fulfillment of Pascha, the true Revelation." We must begin, therefore, by trying to understand this connection between Lent and Easter, for it reveals something very essential, very crucial about our Christian faith and life.
Is it necessary to explain that Easter is much more than one of the feasts, more than a yearly commemoration of a past event? Anyone who has, be it only once, taken part in that night which is "brighter than the day," who has tasted of that unique joy, knows it. [...] On Easter we celebrate Christ's Resurrection as something that happened and still happens to us. For each one of us received the gift of that new life and the power to accept it and live by it. It is a gift which radically alters our attitude toward everything in this world, including death. It makes it possible for us to joyfully affirm: "Death is no more!" Oh, death is still there, to be sure, and we still face it and someday it will come and take us. But it is our whole faith that by His own death Christ changed the very nature of death, made it a passage — a "passover," a "Pascha" — into the Kingdom of God, transforming the tragedy of tragedies into the ultimate victory. [...]
Such is that faith of the Church, affirmed and made evident by her countless Saints. Is it not our daily experience, however, that this faith is very seldom ours, that all the time we lose and betray the "new life" which we received as a gift, and that in fact we live as if Christ did not rise from the dead, as if that unique event had no meaning whatsoever for us? [...] We simply forget all this — so busy are we, so immersed in our daily preoccupations — and because we forget, we fail. And through this forgetfulness, failure, and sin, our life becomes "old" again — petty, dark, and ultimately meaningless — a meaningless journey toward a meaningless end. [...] We may from time to time acknowledge and confess our various "sins," yet we cease to refer our life to that new life which Christ revealed and gave to us. Indeed, we live as if He never came. This is the only real sin, the sin of all sins, the bottomless sadness and tragedy of our nominal Christianity.
If we realize this, then we may understand what Easter is and why it needs and presupposes Lent. For we may then understand that the liturgical traditions of the Church, all its cycles and services, exist, first of all, in order to help us recover the vision and the taste of that new life which we so easily lose and betray, so that we may repent and return to it. [...] And yet the "old" life, that of sin and pettiness, is not easily overcome and changed. The Gospel expects and requires from man an effort of which, in his present state, he is virtually incapable. [...] This is where Great Lent comes in. This is the help extended to us by the Church, the school of repentance which alone will make it possible to receive Easter not as mere permission to eat, to drink, and to relax, but indeed as the end of the "old" in us, as our entrance into the "new." [...] For each year Lent and Easter are, once again, the rediscovery and the recovery by us of what we were made through our own baptismal death and resurrection.
A journey, a pilgrimage! Yet, as we begin it, as we make the first step into the "bright sadness" of Lent, we see — far, far away — the destination. It is the joy of Easter, it is the entrance into the glory of the Kingdom. And it is this vision, the foretaste of Easter, that makes Lent's sadness bright and our lenten effort a "spiritual spring." The night may be dark and long, but all along the way a mysterious and radiant dawn seems to shine on the horizon. "Do not deprive us of our expectation, O Lover of man!"
Glory be to God!

ПОДСЕЋАЊЕ НА НАТО БОМБАРДОВАЊЕ СРЈ 24. МАРТ 1999 – 24. МАРТ 2007. ГОДИНЕ
НАТО бомбардовање Савезне Републике Југославије (названа Операција Савезничка сила), често под називом "НАТО агресија" трајало је од 24. марта до 10. јуна 1999. године и део је косовског рата 1996-1999. То је било друго важније војно уплитање НАТО-а после бомбардовања босанских Срба у операција "Намерна сила" 1995. године и највећи војни сукоб на простору Србије и Црне Горе од времена Другог светског рата.
НАТО је 24. марта 1999. године у 20 часова почео ваздушне нападе на војне циљеве у СРЈ да би се касније удари проширили и на привредне и цивилне објекте. У нападима који су без прекида трајали 78 дана тешко су оштећени инфраструктура, привредни објекти, школе, здравствене установе, медијске куће, споменици културе, цркве, манастири...
Економски експерти проценили су штету на око 30 милијарди долара. Коначан број жртава званично није саопштен, а процене се крећу између 1.200 и 2.500 погинулих и око 5.000 рањених.
Напади су суспендовани 10. јуна, после потписивања војно-техничког споразума о повлачењу југословенске војске и полиције са Косова и Метохије.
Мотиви за НАТО бомбардовање СРЈ су многобројни. Пре свега, НАТО је захтевао оружану интервенцију из тог разлога, што кроз Савет безбедности УН нису успеле да издејствују одлуку за оружану интервенцију у СРЈ због противљења Кине и Русије, сталних чланица са правом вета.
Из тог разлога, НАТО се одлучио на самосталну оружану интервенцију, наводећи као разлог да је делегација Југославије одбила да потпише понуђени споразум у Рамбујеу. Понуђеним споразумом је озбиљно угрожаван суверенитет СР Југославије: захтеван је улазак НАТО трупа на Косово и Метохију и њихово слободно кретање целокупном територијом СРЈ, и предвиђан референдум о самоопредељењу на Косову и Метохији кроз 3 године чији би резултати били ”значајан фактор” у одлучи о коначном статусу. Многи посматрачи су овај споразум оценили као ултиматум за који се унапред знало да га делегација Југославије не може потписати.
Као разлог за рат 1999. године представљена је заштита Албанаца на Косову и Метохији од етничког цисцења, како наводног дугорочног тако и акутног често описиваног термином ”хуманитарна катастрофа”. Масовно бекство албанског становништва из јужне српске покрајине започело тек неколико дана после почетка бомбардовања.
Генерални секретар НАТО Хавијер Солана 24. марта 1999. године у око 19.30 часова, само десетак минута после полетања већег броја авиона из базе НАТО у италијанском граду Авијану, објавио је да су започели ваздушни напади против војних циљева у СРЈ. Бомбардовање је трајало укупно 77 дана.
Последњи гађани циљ на Косову и Метохији била је касарна у Урошевцу, на коју је у среду, 10. јуна око 19.35 сати испаљено пет пројектила. "После тога није било напада, већ само прелетање авиона НАТО над Косовом и Метохијом", рекао је дежурни у покрајинском центру за обавештавање.
Кумановски споразум је војно-технички споразум између Међународних безбедносних снага ("КФОР") и влада Савезне Републике Југославије и Републике Србије.
Стране овог Споразума потврђују документ који је фински председник Ахтисари поднео, а уједно га одобрава и Народна скупштина Србије и Савезна влада СРЈ 3. јуна 1999. године. Споразум укључује размештање око 45.000 војника на Косову и Метохији, махом из земаља НАТО а под покровитељством Уједињених нација, ефикасног међународног цивилног и безбедносног присуства. Стране даље констатују да је Савет безбедности спреман да усвоји резолуцију која је у поступку, у вези са овим присуствима.
У нападима на СР Југославију НАТО снаге користиле су око хиљаду летелица (ловци, ловци-бомбардери, бомбардери, шпијунски авиони итд.), односно скоро цео НАТО савез (осим Исланда и Луксембурга - који немају ваздушне снаге, и Грчке, која није учествовала у бомбардовању). У списак не улазе ни Мађарска, Чешка Република и Пољска које су се тек придружиле НАТО-у и нису још чиниле део војног апарата, мада је пред крај рата на Космет послата нпр. и чешко-пољска болница. Највећу војну заступљеност имале су Сједињене Америчке Државе, мада су и остале чланице имале немалу улогу у агресији.
У бомбардовању је погунуло око 2.000 цивила. Највише погинулих било је у нападима на путнички воз код Грделице 12. априла (11), на колону албанских избеглица на Косову 14. априла (75), на зграду РТС-а у Београду 23. априла (16), на Сурдулицу 28. априла (16), на путнички аутобус код места Лужани 1. маја (23), на Ниш касетним бомбама 7. маја (20), и на крају најтежи напад на цивиле, 14. маја на другу колону албанских избеглица крај Призрена, са 87 мртвих. Напад који је добио највећу медијску пажњу био је напад 8. маја на амбасаду Народне Републике Кине у Београду, који је изазвао велику дипломатску напетост између влада те државе и САД-а. У том су нападу убијена три кинеска службеника амбасаде. НАТО савез је ову наводну грешку оправдао ”застарелим мапама”. У Србији се до 1999. регистровало између 15.000 и 20.000 нових случајева канцера, да би тај број већ 2004. достигао цифру од 30.000 нових болесника.
Према званицним информацијама, губици у редовима НАТО били су релативно ниски, највише због неиспуњавања претње копненом операцијом. Осим неких присилних слетања неколико оштећених авиона Ф-15, британског Херјера и једног А-10 са рањеним пилотом у Сарајеву и Скопљу, губици су следећи: 27. марта Југословенска ПВО срушила амерички "невидљиви" бомбардер Ф-117 Ноћни соко, што је прво обарање таквог авиона стелт технологије. Пилот спашен 6 сати после обарања; 26. априла у Албанији пао амерички хеликоптер АХ-64 Апач, током тренажне мисије. Двојица пилота повредена; 1. маја пао амерички АВ-8Б Харијер услед механичког квара при слетању на носач авиона. Пилот спасен; 2. маја амерички Ф-16 срушен западно од Београда. Пилот спасен; 5. маја у Албанији пао амерички хеликоптер АХ-64 Апач. Двојица пилота погинула; осим ових губитака, треба додати обарања неколико десетина беспилотних летелица (УАВ) и крстарећих пројектила.

U svojoj prebogatoj pevačkoj karijeri osvojila je 20 prvih nagrada na raznim festivalima u zemlji. Za pevačicu godine je izabrana 1993. i 1996. godine. Snimila je 24 albuma, i preko 100 trajnih snimaka izvornih pesama za Radio Beograd. Dobitnik je estradne nagrade Srbije čime je stekla status estradnog umetnika. LJUBISA PAVKOVIC, rodjen 14. juna 1947. u Beogradu, poceo je da svira jos od svoje pete godine. Velika ljubav prema harmonici i neverovatan dar odmah su poceli da se ispoljavaju. Od ranog detinjstva prepusta se muzici i muzickom stvaralastvu, predano, dosledno i casno, sve do danas na vrhuncu svoje umetnicke i licne zrelosti. Nazivaju ga balkanskim i srpskim genijem nacionalne muzike. Dobivsi na poklon od svog oca harmoniku, nije se od nje odvajao. Neprestano je svirao tragajuci, mozda nesvesno, za svojim stilom. U njegovoj muzici oseca se prava sustina srpskog naroda, a to je duboka teznja za lepim, radost zivljenja, dostojanstvo... Kao osamnaestogodisnjak obreo se u KUD "Vukica Mitrovic" koje je rasadnik mladih talenata. Na Medjunarodnom festivalu u Dizonu, 1966. godine, u konkurenciji ucesnika iz 25 zemalja, osvaja prvo mesto kao solista na harmonici. Zatim sledi smotra poznatih solista na Medjunarodnom festivalu podunavskih zemalja, pa festival u Amsterdamu, gde je predstavnik Radio - Beograda. Nosilac Estradne nagrade Srbije, Statusa istaknutog umetnika, godisnje nagrade Radio - Beograda 1991. godine, kao i mnogih drugih nagrada na festivalima i smotrama. Na svim ovim festivalima ucestvovao je kao zreo muzicar i umetnik, jer je jos 1970. godine postao clan Narodnog orkestra RTB-a, a 1981. sef istog orkestra, nastavljajuci tradiciju Vlastimira Pavlovica Carevca, Miodraga Jasarevica i Bozidara Milosevica Bokija. Vrsni je poznavalac ne samo srpske i jugoslovenske vec i muzike balkanskih naroda. Bavi se pedagoskim radom u Narodnom orkestru, a i van njega. Mnogi njegovi ucenici osvojili su prve nagrade na poznatim festivalima. Snimio je stotinak prelepih pesama za potrebe Radio - Beograda, kao i vise ploca sa svojim kolima. Ljubisa Pavkovic je mnogo izucavao balkanski folklor, iznalazio resenja, otkrivao tajne i danas vlada takvim znanjem da sam po sebi predstavlja muzicku instituciju. Njegova harmonika ne svira, ona jednostavno peva i vodi nas kroz predivne pejzaze Srbije i Balkana.

U pocetku bese rec - Miroslavljevo jevandjelje
Subota, 15 decembar 2007 u 19:00 Autor: Bosko Savkovic Scenario: Veljko Topalovic i Bosko Savkovic Direktor fotografije: Vuk Dapcevic Muzika : Zoran Kiki Lesendric Narator: Predrag Miki Manojlovic Zanr: dokumentarni
Junak ovog dokumentarnog filma je Miroslavljevo jevandjelje, najstariji sacuvani srpski cirilicni rukopis, pisan u prvoj cetvrtini XII veka za humskog kneza Miroslava, starijeg brata Simeona Nemanje, rukopis je, koji po svojoj lepoti, nema premca medju sacuvanim pravoslavnim jevandjelistarima. Kroz dokumentarni serijal od cetiri epizode osvetljava se jedinstvena sudbina ovog rukopisa-od njegovog nastanka u danasnjem Bijelom Polju, preko osnivanja manastira Hilandar, ukradenog lista koji je dospeo u imperatorsku biblioteku u Petrogradu i proneo glas o prelepom srpskom rukopisu, nacinu na koji je rukopis stigao u ruke kralja Aleksandra Obrenovica i misterioznom nestanku u noci kada je izvrsen majski prevrat, pronalasku i posebnoj paznji koja mu je posvecena tokom povlacenja srpske vojske preko Albanije, ponovnom nestanku, tokom II svetskog rata, pa sve do savremenih dogadjaja: puta koji je orginal Miroslavljevog jevandjelja presao od podruma Narodnog Muzeja u Beogradu, do specijalne klima komore, posebnih cuvara i upisa u registar "Pamcenje sveta" UNESCO-a. Brojna predstavljanja na vodecim svetskim TV stanicama (ABC, NBC, CBS...), kao i nedavna odluka UNESCO, da najlepsi srpski cirilicni rukopis uvrsti u katalog svetske kulturne bastine, podstakli su autore da naprave filmsku pricu koja ce postati dostupna najsiroj domacoj i svetskoj javnosti.
У суботу 8 марта 2008 у 7:30 одржаће се концерт духовне музике у Цркви Св. Саве у Кембриџу. Концерт изводи Rachmaninoff Festival Choir

In 1985, Anthony Antolini rediscovered an unusual Liturgy written by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1910.The work was deemed too liturgically unorthodox for its day in Russia and had fallen into obscurity in subsequent decades, while Rachmaninoff himself escaped the cultural and political turmoil of his beloved homeland to make a living in America as a concert pianist.Antolini was able to piece the work back together from disparate sources and then taught the twenty-movement Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom for unaccompanied chorus to his community choir in California and took it on tour.Under Antolini’s direction, the Liturgy has since been taken to cities in the United States and Canada and to Russian cities from St. Petersburg across Siberia to the Russian Far East.In 2006, twenty years after its American premier, a combined group of members of Down East Singers, Bowdoin College Chorus and some who sang on the Liturgy’s first tour in 1986 toured the San Francisco Bay Area.
St. Vasilios Greek Orthodox Church in Peabody, Massachusetts, invited Antolini to bring this Liturgy to their church as a part of their centennial celebrations in 2006; and consequently Antolini’s Rachmaninoff Festival Choir sang the Liturgy at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation in March 2007 to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the consecration of Metropolitan Methodios as bishop.
For those interested in learning more, a documentary made for public television describing Antolini’s discovery of the Rachmaninoff Liturgy and its first tour to the USSR in 1987-88 is available for purchase.A re-release of the CD recording of the work made in 1996 is also available. The recording received critical acclaim in the November 1996 American Record Guide.
The Rachmaninoff Festival Choir combines members of the Down East Singers and the Bowdoin College Chorus, both located in mid-coast Maine. The choir has performed in many Maine venues as well as in Middlebury, Vermont,New Haven, St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, Montreal, Baltimore, The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
Anthony Antoliniwas appointed Music Director of Down East Singers in 1991 and joined the Bowdoin faculty in 1992. He graduated from Bowdoin College and holds graduate degrees from Stanford University. At Bowdoin College he conducts the Bowdoin Chorus and teaches music theory. In 1988 he published the first modern, bilingual edition of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. His award-winning television documentary on this subject, Rediscovering Rachmaninoff, has been broadcast on public television nationally. His editions of choral music are published by E.C. Schirmer and Paraclete Press. Antolini is currently at work on a new bilingual performance edition of Igor Stravinsky’s Les Noces/Svàdebka/The Village Wedding to be published by E.C. Schirmer. In 1999 he was a featured speaker at the national convention of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and in 2000 at the ACDA convention in Baltimore. He was elected “Conductor of the Year” by the Maine Chapter of ACDA for the 1999-2000 season. In February 2008 he is a featured speaker at the Eastern Division Convention of the ACDA where he presented a lecture entitled “Greek-American Choral Repertoire: An Undiscovered Treasure.”

On Sunday, March 23,2008 our parish will be visited by Dr. Lewis Patsavos, Professor of Canon Law at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. He will give a sermon at the end of the Liturgy. You will have an opportunity to talk to Dr. Patsavos during lunch.
Professor of Canon Law and Director of Field Education
Lic Th, University of Athens ThD, University of Athens
Dr. Lewis J. Patsavos is Professor of Canon Law and Director of Field Education at Holy Cross School of Theology, where he began his fulltime teaching career in 1974. The dual responsibility of teaching Orthodox Canon Law and directing the School's Field Education Program has enabled him to experience the pastoral nature of the canons contextually through theological field education. As a result, he has focused his attention upon the need to integrate theory and praxis towards a holistic approach to the study of theology. His interest in the Canonical Tradition of Orthodoxy reflected in his writings, most recently the publication Spiritual Dimensions of the Holy Canons (2003), lies in the following: the interface of the canons and pastoral theology; the proper application of the canons as an authentic expression of Orthodox theology; and the engagement of clergy and laity in the practice of ministry appropriate to each. He serves as Consultant on Canonical Affairs to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and to other Orthodox Jurisdictions in America. His commitment to ecumenical dialogue has allowed him to participate for over twenty-five years in the North American Orthodox - Roman Catholic Bilateral Consultation. His current focus is on completion of the book Qualifications of Entry into the Clergy, which embodies the theory of the canons about priesthood and the praxis of ministry experienced in contextual education.
Позивамо све парохијане на конзуларни дан у недељу, 13. априла 2008 у просторијама СПЦ Свети Сава у Кембриџу. Гости ће нам бити особље Генералнгог конзулата Републике Србије из Њујорка. Детаљније овде

Saint Sava Sets Goal of Raising $50,000 for Structural Improvements
In our first two years in Cambridge we set the focus of our capital raising campaigns to paying off the mortgage as quickly as possible.We were able to raise enough to pay off a quarter of our total mortgage ($250,000), a great achievement.In 2008 we must shift our focus to structural improvements of our facilities and grounds.The Annual Assembly of Saint Sava approved budgeting $50,000 toward this endeavor on February 10th.The Church Board of Saint Sava would like to help all parishioners understand exactly why we need to raise these funds.
There is one major project which will happen over the next year.This is the replacement of the boiler for the church heating system.The current system was installed indecades ago and is reaching the end of its useful life.We have already had a couple of close calls this winter but made it through without a serious incident. Fortunately, the distribution system was updated during the hall renovation in 2001 and does not need to be replaced. We have already called in a few companies to competitively bid on the project. The first of these companies returned us an estimate of $56,000.This involves removing the old boiler and replacing it with two smaller boilers, so that we can heat the church and the hall independent of one another.This would be a more efficient way to heat the building and would provide long-term cost savings.
There are a few other repairs that are necessary.We need to replace the sidewalk on the north side of the church.This repair is required by our insurance company or we may loose our policy.We also need to make roof repairs, replace downspouts, and repair sections of the church outer walls.We can’t do these repairs without your financial support.As is evident from the long list repairs, our goal of $50,000 is very modest and may not address all these issues.
Few pictures that illustrate what we have to repair can be viewed here.
Црква Св. Саве има циљ да прикупи $50.000 за поправку црквеног имања.
За прве две године у Кембриџу, концентрисали смо сена прикупљање средстава како би што пре отплатили хипотеку. Успели смо да сакупимо и отплатимо четвртину целокупне суме ($250,000), што је веома велики успех. У 2008. години морамо да променимо фокуса на неопходне попоправке црквеног имања. На годишњој скупшитини у цркви Св. Саве10. фебруара, одобрен је буџет у износу од $50.000 како би се наведено остварило. Црквени одбор Св. Саве би желео да сви парохијани разумеју зашто нам је неопходно да прикупимо ова средства.
Планиран је један значајан пројекат који ће се остварити током ове године, а који се односи на замену котла за грејање. Постојећи систем који је инсталиран пре неколико деценија достигао је крај свог корисног живота. Ове зиме смо имали неколико кварова у котларници али је, на срећу, све прошло без озбиљних последица и веће материјалне штете. На нашу срећу, разводни систем је поправљен 2001. године и нећемо морати да издвајамо новац и за то. Контактирали смо неколико компанија како би од њих добили понуде за извођење неопходних радова. Прва понуда коју смо добили је била око $56,000. Ова понуда укључује замену старог котла са два мања.. Нови котлови су доста ефикаснији од оног који сада имамо па ћемо овако смањити трошкове грејања у будућности..
Поред овог највећег пројекта и неколико других поправки је неопходно. Морамо да поправимо тротоар иза цркве. Ову поправку захтева наша осигуравајућа компанија, у супротном можемо да изгубимо право на полису осигурања. Такође, потребно је да поправимо кров изнад црквених канцеларија, заменимо неке олуке и поправимо делове зидовова. Нисмо у могућности да ово урадимо без ваше финансијске помоћи. Када погледате листу ствари које морамо да урадимо схватате да је наш циљ да прикупимо $50.000веома скроман и можда нам неће омогућити да урадимо све што је потребно. Стога вас позивамо да нам се придружите 31. маја 2008. на донаторској вечери како би успели да прикупимо потребна средства.

In Serbian tradition Mother's Day is called "Materice", and it is observed two weeks before Christmas. On "Materice" boys and girls tiptoe into their mother's bedroom very early in the morning and tie her up. When she awakens, she is surprised to find herself all tied up, and she begs the children to untie her, promising to give them little gifts which she has hidden under her pillow.

Српска православна црква Свети Сава, у сарадњи са организацијом АРТ011, Вас позива на позоришно вече у сали цркве Свети Сава у Кембриџу. Комедија “Само да знаш колико те волим”, рађена је по делима (збиркама новела) познатог италијанског писца Антонија Амура “Како убити супругу и зашто” и “Како убити супруга без сувишних зашто”. Реч је о сценски уобличеном духовитом промишљању мушко-женских односа из различитих углова. Више мушких (стварних и могућих) ликова из нашег времена тумачи Миленко Павлов, а неколико женских јунакиња игра Љиљана Ђурић. Драматизацију потписује Душко Анђић, који напомиње да је познати италијански писац у наведеним књигама забележио низ својих размишљања која током брачног заједништва, поготово ако је оно дугачко и досадно, људима падају на памет. Костимографију и сценографију потписује Ружица Ристић, а избор музике Владимир Рацковић. Не пропустите јединствену прилику да видите великане српског позоришта.

METROPOLITAN CHRISTOPHER OF LIBERTYVILLE-CHICAGO, FELL ASLEEP IN THE LORD
Chicago, IL - At 7:45 this evening, Wedesday, August 18, 2010, on the eve of the feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, His Eminence +Christopher, Metropolitan of Libertyville-Chicago, fell asleep in the Lord at the age of 82. Clergy are asked to serve a small pomen at tomorrow's Divine Liturgy.
May His memory be eternal.
Born in Galveston, Texas, and baptized Velimir Kovacevich, the future Metropolitan Christopher was the ninth of twelve children of Serbian immigrant parents. After graduation from high school, he attended Nashotah House and graduated from St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Seminary in Libertyville, Illinois. After marriage, he was ordained to the Diaconate and Priesthood. Continuing his education, he earned a B.A. (Philosophy), Master of Letters (History) at the University of Pittsburgh; the Master of Divinity from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts, and completed courses and examinations for the doctorate at the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Father Velimir ministered to parishes in Pennsylvania and in Chicago, also serving as chaplain to four universities. He assisted his parishes to become bilingual in their worship and education programs. As a priest, he served as spiritual father, counselor, youth worker, administrator, educator, and, above all, in priestly ministry at the Holy Altar. Widowed in 1970, he is the father of four, as well as the grandfather of nine.
Elevated to the episcopate in 1978 by the Assembly of Bishops in Belgrade and tonsured with the monastic name of Christopher, he became the first American-born bishop to serve a diocese of his church in North America. As Bishop of Eastern America and Canada, he soon developed a diocesan-wide program in religious education. Active also in ecumenism, he has served on the joint commission of Orthodox and Roman Catholic bishops and on the Orthodox-Lutheran dialogue, and has represented his church at high levels in both the National and World Councils of Churches. In 1991, he was elevated to the rank of Metropolitan, thereby becoming Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the U.S. and Canada.
May the Lord our God grant blessed repose and eternal rest to His Eminence Metropolitan Christopher.

Српска православна црква Свети Сава, у сарадњи са организацијом АРТ011, Вас позива на позоришно вече у сали цркве Свети Сава у Кембриџу. Представа је настала драматизацијом истоименог чувеног романа Драгослава Михајловића по коме је снимљен и филм. Кроз комичне и трагичне ситуације, говори о животу неписмене али изузетно интелигентне сеоске жене. И поред силних трагедија које су је задесиле, она налази снаге да нас насмеје и да нам на најлепши могући начин пренесе поруку да живот увек побеђује. Режија: Душко Анђић; Музика: Вања Пилиповић; Драматизовала и игра: Љиљана Ђурић. Представа је у децембру 2006. године на фестивалу малих форми у Источном Сарајеву добила награду као најбоља представа. Београдска премијера је одржана 14. марта 2007. године. Скупштина града Београда је финансирала и подржала овај пројекат. На Међународном театарском фестивалу у Москви, 8. децембра 2007. године, представа је награђена Сребрним витезом.

It was yet another traditional frescoe exhibit of the students of the Serbian Orthodox Church Academy for the Arts and Preservation of Professor Goran Janicijevic. Thanks to the efforts of parish priest V. Rev. Aleksandar Vlajkovic and the Boston parishioners, this exhibit was made possible for the first time in Boston, after being in Belgrade and Munich.
The exhibit was formally opened on Friday, June 30, 2006 as Fr. Aleksandar Vlajkovic welcomed the guests from Serbia. Afterwards, Professor Goran Janicijevic spoke of the Academy of the Serbian Orthodox Church, of the exhibit dedicated to Kosovo and Metohija as well as the efforts of the students and professors of the Academy in the field of iconography, renovation and preservation of frescoes. Finally, Mrs. Silvana Hadzi Djokic spoke of the work in renovating the destroyed and damaged churches and monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija and the efforts taken by both the Serbian Church and State.

Following the service Fr. Radomir gave a lecture in the church hall on the history of the Serbian Orthodox Church with special mention of the Battle of Kosovo and the period of Turkish rule on Serbian lands. Fr. Radomir spoke of the martyrdom of Prince Lazar and the Serbian nation all of which he tied with the Christ's suffering and His resurrection. At the end of the lecture, Fr. Radomir mentioned that the answer of contemporary Christians to the challenges of this day must be evangelical since Christ is the same yesterday, today and unto all the ages of ages.
The representatives of the Academy are grateful to their hosts Fr. Aleksandar Vlajkovic, his Protinica Vera and the entire Boston parish for their Christian welcome and hospitality.
The frescoe exhibit is moving to New York where it will formally open on the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Friday, July 7, 2006 and last until Sunday, July 9th.
PRESIDENT OF SERBIA BORIS TADIC VISITS BOSTON PARISH
Boston, MA - The first annual Serbian festival in New England was held on Saturday, September 23, 2006 hosted by the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in Cambridge, MA. The goal of the festival was to present to our American friends and neighbors the Serbian culture and tradition through folklore, music, art and the traditional Serbian foods. This was the first festival of this kind in New England. The highlight of the celebration was a visit by President of Serbia Boris Tadic together with the Ambassador Ivan Vujacic from WashingtonD.C. This visit came after President Tadic’s participation at the General Assembly of the UN and a lecture at Harvard Universtiy on Friday evening.
Upon his arrival President Tadic first visited the church where he was greeted by young girls dressed in traditional costumes that offered him bread and salt, welcoming him. President Tadic and Ambassador Vujacic were interested in the details of the church, which was purchased just ten months ago from the Roman Catholic Church. Fr. Aleksandar and Milica Pogorzelski, Church Board president, gave the esteemed guests a tour of the church and answered their questions.
Afterward, the guests went through the exhibit of icons and frescoes in the parish hall, the work of the students of the Academy of the Serbian Orthodox Church for Iconography and Conservation from Belgrade. The icons are replicas of the frescoes that had been destroyed during the Pogrom in Kosovo in 2003.
President Tadic was led by his hosts to the tent area where he was welcomed with thunderous applause from the parishioners of St. Sava, together with their American friends. Fr. Aleksandar began with a prayer and afterwards, on behalf of the Church Board and all of his parishioners, greeted their prominent guests and called on the president to formally open the festival.
In his address, President Tadic said, among other things: “It is a great pleasure for me to open a Serbian festival in America. This is the first time it has happened to me. Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk with our students, following the presentation that the president of Croatia and I had at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. I would like for my stay in Massachusetts and in America in general to be such to improve your life here, and in some way, to live better.
“You know very well that today we are met with very difficult challenges. However, this does not mean, despite all of our difficulties, that we should cease organizing festivals and celebrating. It is of great importance that we do everything in our power to preserve our community and respect our customs...
“On the other hand, I would like to reiterate that which I said to our students at Harvard yesterday, which is that Serbia today is a land of great opportunity. Despite all of our many hardships I want to believe that Serbia is a land of great opportunity.”
At the end of his address President Tadic proclaimed the festival to be opened. Afterwards, he spent some time with his countrymen that live here, far from their homeland. The Serbian atmosphere was all the more present through the music of the brass band Zlatne Uste from New York. Before departing President Tadic requested they play Tamo Daleko one more time, which they did happily.
Finally the prominent guests bid farewell to their gracious hosts and continued their travels, going to Wentworth Institute of Technology where they were greeted by Dr. Zorica Pantic, the President of this esteemed institution, and in the evening they returned to Serbia.
To the delight of all the parishioners the festival lasted until late in the evening. It was nice to see such a large number of our youth and the children for whom there were special activities. It was noticed how our young Serbian boys and girls proudly wore their Serbian sajkace (hats) which were brought from Serbia for this occasion. The folklore group Gracanica performed in the evening. This was the first festival and it is our desire and hope that each one in the future, with God’s help, be better and more successful. Protojerej Aleksandar Vlajkovic

Boston- St. Sava was celebrated throughout the Eastern American Diocese.Especially festive was the celebration in Boston and Cleveland where His Grace Bishop Mitrofan served the Divine Liturgy. The patron saint for both the Boston and Cleveland churches is St. Sava. On the eve of the Feast of St. Sava, a Great Vespers service took place in the Boston parish (Cambridge). Four priests, including one monk from Greece, served in the presence of Bishop Mitrofan.His Grace greeted the faithful people at the end of the Service.
On the actual day of St. Sava, His Grace Bishop Mitrofan together with eight other clergy celebrated the Divine Liturgy.Besides Serbian priests there were clergy from the Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Georgian and Antiochian jurisdictions. During the Liturgy, Bishop Mitrofan awarded Fr. Ivan Marjanovic from the Portland parish with a rank of Protopresbyter for his many years of service. At the conclusion of the Liturgy, the Slava bread was blessed in the presence of many children and Slava kumovi, Zivadin and Borka Gvozdenovic and their children Dusan and Bojana..
In his sermon, Bishop Mitrofan emphasized the importance and greatness of St. Sava. He mentioned the recent attacks on St. Sava in the newspapers in Serbia.Namely, an author of a text wrote that St. Sava wanted himself to become an Archbishop, ignoring historical facts that he took with him several monks and suggested that one of them becomes an Archbishop. Also, he accused St. Sava that he established the Serbian church for the Serbian elite, which is very far from the truth. The Bishop stressed that St. Sava is not only a Serbian Saint but a pan orthodox saint, and is loved and respected by other nations, which is confirmed by the presence of clergy and laity from other Orthodox jurisdictions at the Liturgy.
After a festive lunch that was prepared by the kumovi, a children’s program followed, consisting of poems, songs and folklore. For the first time in the Boston parish, a St. Sava play was performed by the children, written by Fr. Radovan Jakovljevic. This play depicts young Rastko Nemanjic who departs for Mount Athos and becomes monk. About three hundred faithful participated in honoring St. Sava in the Boston parish.
In the evening His Grace departed from Boston and the next day, January 28, he took part in St.Sava celebration in Cleveland.

SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY IN BOSTON AREA
The annual Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers Service, organized by the Orthodox Clergy Association of Greater Boston, took place on Sunday, February 25, at 5:00 p.m., at St. Athanasius the Great Greek Orthodox Church in Arlington.
The Pan-Orthodox Service led by over 30 clergy was attended by about 400 faithful, one of the largest gatherings for Sunday of Orthodoxy in the Boston area in recent years. A Pan-Orthodox Choir, including members from the St. Sava Choir, sang the responses beautifully.
The highlight of the celebratory service was the clergy's procession with icons around the church and the reading of the proclamation by the Ecumenical Council of 843 which ended the iconoclastic controversy and restored icons and their veneration in the Church. Because this historically took place on the first Sunday of Lent, that Sunday is now commemorated as the "triumph of Orthodoxy." St. Athanasius Church hosted the Vespers Service in their new church home and generously held a Lenten dinner reception following the Service. About half a dozen St. Sava parishioners attended the Service.
On March 9th and 10th Annual Assembly of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Eastern America was held at St. Sava Church in Cambridge, MA. More than 60 priests and delegates represented about thirty parishes of our Diocese.
