| | The Heritage of Serbian Orthodoxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Serbian Orthodoxy, as such begins with St. Sava, "the Light of Serbia," holy ascetic, founder of monasteries, hierarch, and scholar, who not only became the first Serbian archbishop in 120l, but provided Orthodox Serbs with a holy example and left an imprint on their consciousness which is felt even today. |
 | | Justas Serbian literature is said to begin with St. Sava's Life of his father, so too Serbian sanctity itself begins with St. Simeon, an exemplary Orthodox monarch, a zealot of Orthodoxy, a generous patron of the Church, and in old age a righteous monastic. |
 | | Founded in the early 13th century by St. Arseny, the successor of St. Sara as Archbishop of Serbia, Pech became the residence of the archbishops and, in the 14th century, the center of the newly-formed autocephalous Serbian Patriarchate. |
