Amfilohije plans to store three relics there, one of which is the icon of the Mother of God Filermosa, which is housed in the National Museum of Montenegro.
We remind you that after the bombing of Belgrade on April 6, 1941, Pedro II Karaorevi and the Serbian Patriarch Gabriel transferred and secretly buried in the Ostrog monastery the sanctuary: the hand of Saint John the Baptist and part of the Holy Cross, now in the Monastery of Cetinje, and the icon of the Mother. Boje Filerimske, Amfilohije expressed hope that the icon will be returned to the church and that these three fully Christian shrines will be stored in the Holy Trinity Cathedral, which is planned to be built over the Cetinje monastery.
“The Church of the Holy Trinity was started during the coronation of King Nikola in 1910, and the cornerstone is preserved in my office in Cetinje. On this foundation stone it is written: This temple was built in the time of King Nikola, built by Tsar Nicholas II, in August 1910, I hope to God that next year we will begin to build the temple, that we will lay the first stone in honor of God, the Holy Trinity, and in honor of the Romanovs, who were also martyrs , as well as San Juan Bautista, suffered in 1918. years “, affirmed Amfilohije.
The Minister of Culture of Montenegro, Aleksandar Bogdanovi, evaluated for the CDM portal that the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro continues to tread deeply on the paths of politics and nationalism.
On this occasion, the provocation was not, above all, accidentally directed at the people of Cetinje, with the announcement that the construction of the SOC building in the historic core of the city will begin, in which, among other things, they will be kept relics that do not belong to that religious community. “The manipulation hides the message that the Serbian Orthodox Church in the future will deal with urban problems and manage state property, I am not at all interested,” Bogdanovi noted.
He stressed that he was forced to warn, knowing well, like Amfilohije, what kind of reaction this idea could provoke in the citizens of Cetinje, and in the metropolitan “and his partners so as not to arouse passions in the city that is a symbol of Montenegro and your identity “. .
“Today as a minister, and today and tomorrow as a citizen of Cetinje and Montenegro, I clearly say that we will not allow that,” Bogdanovi said.
