The body of Patriarch Irinej will be brought to the Cathedral tomorrow around 8.30 and displayed during the liturgy on the occasion of the celebration of that church, after which a short memorial service is planned, and then the body must be transferred to the Temple of Saint Sava.
The column with the body of the patriarch will leave the Cathedral around 11:30 to the Church of St. Sava, in front of which members of the Serbian army will meet him, and the clergy of the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovac will receive him in the church, priest Dragan Shovljanski told RTS.
“A memorial service is scheduled for 12:30 in the church of St. Sava over the body of the blessed patriarch, and after that, during the day and night, the priests of Belgrade will read the Holy Gospels on the scaffold,” he said Shovljanski.
The liturgy of rest begins on Sunday at 9 am, and will be served in the central part of the temple, where the body of Patriarch Irinej will be exhibited, reports Tanjug.
He mentioned that according to the recommendations of the Crisis Staff and all epidemiological measures, it will not be possible to kiss the patriarch’s body.
“All the people will be able to enter through the west side of the temple through the central entrance and approach a few meters from the body, bow and leave again,” said the priest.
He called on all believers to wear masks, not to linger too long, and not to make crowds.
The patriarch will be buried on Sunday after the liturgy and the service, in the crypt of the temple of Saint Sava.
