Casket with patriarch's body leaves clinic, the Serbian Church takes it over as doctors honor it

The casket with the body of late Patriarch Irinej was transferred from the VMC Karaburma to the Cathedral Church, where the faithful will be able to say goodbye to him. The VMC medical staff formed lines on either side as a sign of respect.

By the decision of the Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the body of Patriarch Irinej will lie in state in the Cathedral Church in Belgrade, during Holy Liturgy on the day of that church's patron saint feast, Saturday, and then be transferred to the Church of Saint Sava in Vracar, where believers will have the opportunity to say goodbye.

Patriarch Irinej will be buried on Sunday in the crypt of the Temple of Saint Sava in Vracar.

Doctors of the VMC Karaburma who treated Patriarch Irinej went out in front of the hospital to say goodbye to him.

They created two lines, and the casket with the body of the late patriarch passed between them.
