	The Heavenly Kingdom in Serbia's Historic Destiny
		The first evidence of this appeared among the Serbian saints, who through their ascetism, virtues, and suffering were constructing a spiritual ladder to the Kingdom of Heaven for their people and who exemplified through their lives the manner in which the world, the path of history, and man's deeds within it should be evaluated.
		Saint Sava has been rightfully called the all-Serbian "enlightener, the first enthroned, the Teacher of the Way which leads into the Life" - into the true, spiritual, and eternal life - as expressed by Hilandar's poet/biographer Teodosije in the Troparion to Saint Sava.
		The cult of St. Sava, with his incorruptible body lying in Milesevo Monastery, and the cult of St. Lazar of Kosovo, with his incorruptible body in Ravanica Monastery, were the two never-dying sources of both religious and national inspiration - one and the same - throughout the era of enslavement.
