Serbian New-Martyrs

Commemoration on June 28th for the The Serbian New-martyrsTroparion Tone 8

For your faith in God and His Righteousness, you suffered in the flesh.
The earth sorrows, but you have saved your souls and heaven rejoices!
And your ancestors sang aloud with the heaven greeting you at the gate
Of paradise with this song: Your names are in the Book of Eternity.
Enter into Paradise O children of immortality! We your posterity
On earth, cry out in unison: O New-martyrs, pray for us!

I find my mind has been often returning to the hideous idea that Kosovo is to be severed from Serbia. You can read the stories of some of the Martyrs (the most glorious rank of saints) of Serbia here. You can read about what is going on in Kosovo here. You can pray for Serbia anyhere.

What can you find surfing through internet......The an american who is involved in Orthodox and try to effuse a truth about Kosovo and Metohija. Here in Serbia people uniformly thinks thet there is no good americans,such there is no good albanians as well.Thank God,serbs are wrong.I appreciate what you do...nice work. Please keep doing that
