09 — Legacy and Reception
The afterlife of St. Sava: his place as the patron saint of Serbia and of Serbian schools and education, kept on his feast of 14/27 January (Savindan); and his standing in Serbian national identity and in modern scholarship — the careful work of distinguishing the historical thirteenth-century archbishop from the founding figure of national memory.
Tradition: Serbian Orthodox
