06 — The Royal Saint-Maker
Sava as the maker of a holy dynasty: how he canonized his own father as St. Symeon and wove church and nation together around the sanctity of the Nemanjići; and how he took part in the elevation of Serbia to a kingdom, working in concord with his brother the king to fuse crown and church.
Tradition: Serbian Orthodox
