St. Sava was the first archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), which he founded as an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Church.

The holy relics that are now in the Serbian capital are related to his life and legacy.

SPC Patriarch Pofirije and top state representatives were at Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport today, to welcome the plane from Greece with Church and state honors.

The exhibition entitled "Saint Sava" will be organized in the Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and will last from May 15 to July 19.
