Mitrovdan is today, and since yesterday it is forbidden to gather more than five people both indoors and outdoors, except in the work environment, so it should be celebrated only with relatives, not with extended relatives who do not live in the same household. Bishop Stefan Saric, the elder of the Church of Saint Sava, tells Kurir that the Serbian Orthodox Church has always preached that glory is a family holiday and that if those rules were strictly observed, they would fully fit in with the new anti-religious measures. epidemic.
read the Bible
– That the believers stay home and celebrate the glory with the family. The biggest prayer is that when you start the day, say “Help, God”, you persecute and then you can get the job done with God’s blessing. Therefore, it must be done on the day of glory. It is natural to pray to the protector of the family, as who knows. The family should get together on the day of the celebration, speak good words, read the Bible, the Psalms. They should read about the life of the saint whose day they are marking. Unfortunately, there are people who think that Saint Nicholas lived in the 18th century, they do not know the basics. This is an opportunity to celebrate this year in that way, to learn something – explains the bishop.
He adds that what started in the nineties makes no sense: celebrations in taverns, with music, with a large number of guests.
– It has nothing to do with faith or church. It was over the top on everything. It is an opportunity to go back to the original, so that there are not many people present – says Šarić and adds that the priests do not all serve together, but, when there are holidays, one or two priests.
The housewife can do more
It is difficult, he says, to explain to believers that they should not flock to churches.
– Bringing cakes and cereals to church on the day of the celebration would be feasible only if everyone strictly adhered to the measures. The church teaches respect to the city and church authorities, we have been negotiating since the beginning of the pandemic. It will be complex to explain to people that they do not come to church in such large numbers, but that is our task – explains Saric. Epidemiologist Dr. Radmilo Petrović tells Kurir that believers should celebrate glory in the family circle:
– The measure is clear, up to five people open and closed. It is practically a ban on meetings. No guests should come. If there are six members in a family, then that five-person rule does not apply to them. This rule applies to everyone else.
Black numbers in the region: the number of infected is decreasing, a record number of deaths
A record number of deaths in one day was recorded yesterday in Croatia and Slovenia. Up to 35 people in Croatia and 34 in Slovenia. Although a slow rise in daily infections has been confirmed in Slovenia, the death toll is the highest yet. The number of new infected in Romania yesterday was 9,937, which represents a slight decrease compared to the previous day, and 130 people died.
He is still in the hospital: Patriarch Irinej feels great
Bishop Šarić says that Patriarch Irinej, who is in Karaburma Hospital for the crown, feels very good, which he himself concluded through a telephone conversation with him. – I heard the patriarch, okay, no problem. He has a slightly sensitive throat, so his voice has changed a bit, but I know him well and can freely say that everything is as it should be. The doctors gave him the best medicine – says Saric.
