We began it with the blessed Christmas holidays, the New Year’s celebration, and completed the month with the St. Sava Program. For the first time in the history of our parish, we hosted the Diocesan Assembly in February proving to be a successfully organized and hosted event. This past year was marked by an increase in the Sunday School and Serbian School Programs. Much gratitude is owed to the volunteer teachers and students who dedicate their time and energy in preparing and attending the classes regularly. Besides these classes, a basketball club meets on Thursdays. The cultural aspect of our church life has also been quite active during this period. Many artists and singers have visited our parish including: Merima Njegomir, Miroslav Ilic, Slavica Momakovic, and the Balkan Trio among others. It is important to note that the play, “Jazavac pred sudom”, performed by actors from Serbia and the Republic of Srpska lead by Petar Kralj displayed an amazing production for the first time in the Boston area. His Grace Bishop Mitrophan visited our parish twice during the year and Bishop Atanasije (Jevtic) was also our guest. Other visitors to our parish were Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Bozidar Djelic and the Minister of the Diaspora, Milica Cubrilo. 7 Our Serbian Festival, once again, proved that we can gather hundreds of parishioners as well as New Englanders. With a rich musical program, lovely photo exhibit, and amazing food, all in attendance had a reason to be happy. The Donators Evening in November proved to be the most successful evening to date raising over $60,000 for our mortgage. The Gracanica Folklore Ensemble performed for the festival and the fundraising evening adding much to the ambiance of both events. The St. Petka Circle of Serbian Sisters again showed their support for our church through their work for most of the events that were organized throughout the year. Besides their local activities, they organized a fundraiser for several orphanages in Serbia which were highly successful (see article about Kolo). The maintenance and beautification of our church, hall, and grounds was also a priority this year. Thanks to all of you who gave countless hours of your time prepping and painting the outside windows. The two classrooms were also painted and a library has been set-up in one of them. All the broken windows in the church hall were replaced and about 15 storm windows were installed on the church level. The stone stairs around the entire church were power washed. Around 30 volunteers donated their time from April to November helping to upkeep the church yard. For all of the good our parish has received in the year 2007, we are grateful to God and St. Sava. To every one of you dear brothers and sisters for your unselfish support and help, we thank you. 8 P OWU P N ) ) OU *W ) P J )* ) 9 P OW U P W W P / H ) , ) ) , * W ) K * )O W * ) TLL!

Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich SERBIAN ORTHODOX APOSTLE TO AMERICA by Hieromonk Damascene . A A U S during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, Archimandrite B Sebastian Dabovich has the distinction of being the first person born in the United States of America to be ordained as an Orthodox priest, 1 and also the first native-born American to be tonsured as an Orthodox monk. His greatest distinction, however, lies in the tremen- dous apostolic, pastoral, and literary work that he accomplished dur- ing the forty-eight years of his priestly ministry. Known as the “Father of Serbian Orthodoxy in America,” 2 he was responsible for the found- ing of the first Serbian churches in the New World. This, however, was only one part of his life’s work, for he tirelessly and zealously sought to spread the Orthodox Faith to all peoples, wherever he was called. He was an Orthodox apostle of universal significance. Describing the vast scope of Fr. Sebastian’s missionary activity, Bishop Irinej (Dobrijevic) of Australia and New Zealand has written: 1 Alaskan-born priests were ordained before Fr. Sebastian, but this was when Alaska was still part of Russia. 2 Mirko Dobrijevic (later Irinej, Bishop of Australia and New Zealand), “The First American Serbian Apostle—Archimandrite Sebastian Dabovich,” Again, vol. 16, no. 4 (December 1993), pp. 13–14.

  • The Serbian Orthodox Church and the New Serbian Identity
    Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AND THE NEW SERBIAN IDENTITY Belgrade, 2006 This Study is a part of a larger Project "Religion and Society," realized with the assistance of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Historical Confusion At the turn of the penultimate decade of the 20th century to the last, the world was shocked by the (out-of-court) pronouncement of the death verdict for an artist, that is, an author by the leader of a theocratic regime, on the grounds that his book insulted one religion or, to be more exact, Islam and all Muslims. Naturally, it is the question of the famous Rushdie affair. According to the leader of the Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, the novel “Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie was blasphemous and the author deserved to be sentenced to death by a fatwa. This case - which has not been closed to this day - demonstrated in a radical way the seriousness and complexity of the challenge which is posed by the living political force of religious fundamentalism(s) to the global aspirations of the concept of liberal capitalist democracy, whose basic postulates are a secular state and secular society. The fall of the Berlin Wall that same year (1989) marked symbolically the end of an era in the international relations and the collapse of an ideological- political project. In other words, the circumstances that had a decisive influence on the formation of the Yugoslav and Serbian society in the post- World War II period were pushed into history. Time has told that the mentioned changes caused a tragic historical confusion in Yugoslavia and in Serbia, primarily due to the unreadiness of the Yugoslav and, in particular, Serbian elites to understand and adequately respond to the challenges of the new era.

  • The Self-Sacrifice of Biljana Plavšić
    The Self-Sacrifice of Biljana Plavšić: Gender and Nationalism in the Bosnian Serb Media By Predrag Babić Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Elissa Helms CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 CEU eTD Collection Abstract In my MA thesis, I argue that the relation of femininity and ethnicity in Bosnian Serb politics can be defined through the nationalist concept of self-sacrifice or martyrdom. The case study for that topic is Biljana Plavsic, the former President of Republika Srpska (RS), the Serb entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although it can be argued that Biljana Plavsic represents an outlier, I claim that she is marked as an example of the continuation of the tradition of self-sacrifice in Serbian national myth. In Serbian folk tradition, love is a familiar trope that motivates women to sacrifice themselves for their brother or children. Following that, Plavsic sacrifices herself for her children – i.e. the Bosnian Serb population. This matches with one of the supposed roles of women in nationalism – to embody the nation and its tradition. Self-sacrifice is not only a political choice but also, and much more importantly, an essence of femininity and ethnicity in the tragic Serb history. In developing such a discourse important role have most prominent press in RS (Glas Srpske and Nezavisne Novine), public television broadcast (RTRS) and Plavsic herself through her autobiographical book Svedocim (“I am witnessing”). Biljana Plavšić's self-representation and the media representation of her from 2009 in RS will be the case study of my research and the point is to CEU eTD Collection see how the link between gender, religion and nation is formed by a focus on the concept of self-sacrifice.

  • Proceedings Template
    2020-4020-AJHIS 1 Serbian Royal Right to the Throne of Hungary at the Basis of the 2 Formation of Medieval Romanian Orthodox States 3 4 This paper shows that the overall situation in the Pannonian-Balkan area led 5 to the facts in the 14th -16th centuries on the background of which the 6 Romanian medieval states were formed and consolidated. The origins of 7 these facts derive from the interactions between the first Hungarian tribes 8 who came to the Pannonian area and the situation encountered here, which 9 can be staged as follows. The first stage is related to the arrival of the 10 Hungarian tribes from the northern part of Europe and the conquest of the 11 territory between the eastern Alps and the Dniester. The second stage is the 12 period between the Christianization of the Hungarian King Stephen and the 13 arrival of the Angevins. The second and the third period, post-Angevin or 14 better Sigismundian-Lazarević are, are epochs of colonization of different 15 population from the Germanic, North Pontic or Balkan space that are 16 integrated into the noble structure of the Kingdom, consolidating its 17 authority. The expansion of Serbian civilization after the claim to the throne 18 of Hungary of the Serbian King Stefan Dragutin when Árpád dynasty came 19 to end. Thus, the medieval Romanian Orthodox states, The Romanian 20 Country-Wallachia and Moldavia are the rest of Andrew III’s, the last 21 Árp{dian’s posterity, of his Serbian posterity, and catholic Hungary, the rest 22 of his Angevin Posterity.
