Many churches in Serbia today give children gifts, after holding service to mark the feast of St. Sava, January 27, which is also celebrated as the school slava (Serbian celebration of the patron saint). However, one priest handed out 100 packages, which he paid for out of pocket.

According to Glas Sumadije, the young priest, Mirko Siljkovic, prepared one hundred packages for all children in Resnik, a village near Kragujevac, where he serves in the local church.
