Serbian patriarch serves liturgy in Patriarchate of Pec: "Storms, thunder and winds will not break us"

"Here we are again, we came home again," said the patriarch

The Serbian Orthodox Patriarch Porfirije served the Holy Hierarchs' Liturgy in the Patriarchate of Pec, in Kosovo and Metohija, along with the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC). After the liturgy, regular meetings of the Synod and the Patriarchal Board will be held, the SPC announced.

Bishops Vasilije of Srem, Jovan of Sumadija, Fotije of Zvornik and Tuzla and David of Krusevac, Bishop Teodosije of Raska and Prizren, Abbot of Decani Archimandrite Sava, Abbot of Crna Reka Archimandrite Andrej and other members of the Synod participated in the service.

Patriarch of Porfirije with the members of the Holy Synod of Bishops arrived to the Patriarchate of Pec, the ancient seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church, last night.

Upon arrival, his message was:

"Here we are again, we came home again. May God make it so that we will always be here and that everything we think, say and do has its roots here."

The patriarch said that since "that root is very deep, it means that regardless of storms, thunder, lightning and winds, we will not break."
