Absztrakt (kivonat)

St. Sava has been celebrated as a national symbol and a patron saint of schools and education since the first half of the nineteenth century. A set of rituals, customs and perfor-mances has developed in connection with this celebration.local elections in Serbia in 199[!] sparked a political crisis that lasted through the winter of 1996/97, even with violence on the streets of Serbian cities. there were several acting groups: the regime, the opposition, and the students. the Serbian orthodox church, as a respected national institution, tried to influence these events in various ways. The most obvious intervention occurred on St. Sava’s day, 27th of January 1997, when church authorities even altered regular rituals and customs. A dangerous standoff of protesting students and police was resolved by a procession.this was a rare situation where the church directly used its rituals in political engagement, an action that was largely welcomed by the public. It was one of the most attended Church services in recent history. the actions of the patriarch himself were understood as a personal stand and symbolic declaration by people that would not have come otherwise.
