May God heal all the sick and strengthen all those who provide medical treatment to them, grant peace and joy in the Holy Spirit to everyone, so that we could gather in the church of St. Savva on the day of his holy memory, January 27, to solemnly revere our First Archbishop and Enlightener,” wrote the Primate of the Serbian Church.
