9 centuries since birth of founder of medieval Serbian state
Patriarch Irinej of SPC served a liturgy in the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica on Saturday and he stated in his speech that Serbs and Montenegrins are "like Siamese twins, inseparable, one and the same nation."Irinej then headed the procession comprising several hundred citizens along the Podgorica streets together with Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral.
After the procession, a spiritual academy was organised at the walls of Nemanja's city at the mouth of the Ribnica River into the Morača River in downtown Podgorica where Stefan Nemanja was born, according to the legends and records of SPC.
The speech about Stefan Nemanja was delivered by Serbian writer and scholar Matija Bećković who underscored that Saint Simeon the Myrrhstreaming was "the father of Orthodoxy, the state, and freedom," and a symbol of endurance, glory, and suffering.
The exact date of birth of Stefan Nemanja has not been historically established but his birth is dated some time around 1113.
Stefan Nemanja is considered the founder of Serbia's mediaeval state of Raška and one of the most important Serbian rulers, as well as the founder of SPC together with his son Sava.
Stefan Nemanja abandoned his position as the grand prince and withdrew to the Hilandar Monastery at Mount Athos as monk Simeon where he died in 1190. His remains were transferred to the Studenica Monastery in Serbia in 1208.
