The participants were carrying the Jerusalem Cross and the Flag of the City of Belgrade from 1938 at the head of the procession.Earlier in the day, Serbian Orthodox Patriarch Irinej served liturgy, attended by Borko Milosavljevic, assistant Belgrade mayor, who was this year the host of the feast day, and Deputy Mayor Andreja Mladenovic.
