Saint Sava's Day marked with light display on Belgrade Tower

A projection of the image of Saint Sava was shown on Belgrade Tower, as well as a part of the text of the Hymn of Saint Sava

Thursday was the feast of Saint Sava (1174-1236), the first archbishop of the autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church, and it was also marked visually, on the media facade of Belgrade Waterfront's Belgrade Tower.

During the evening, the verses, "Let us all live in unity, Saint Sava help us, hear the voice of your Serbian people" were projected onto the facade, along with the image of the educator prince and monk.

The projection of the Hymn of Saint Sava was accompanied by laser effects from this, the tallest building in the region.

The unique projection was organized in honor of the youngest son of Stefan Nemanja, the Grand Prince of the medieval Serbian state of Raska, and the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty. These two greats are of inestimable importance in Serbian history, and they left the Hilandar Monastery on Mt. Athos as their main endowment.

Savindan (St. Sava Day in Serbian) is celebrated in memory of one of the greatest Serbian educators. Precisely because of his great importance in developing Serbian culture and education, this day is also celebrated as a school holiday in our country.

The first projection on Belgrade Tower was organized on New Year's Eve, followed by a spectacular eight-minute fireworks display, and after that, Belgraders and guests of our capital enjoyed more similar displays for Orthodox Christmas and for the Serbian New Year.
