Celebration of the Patronal Feast of St. King Milutin at the Hilandar Monastery

The festive all-night vigil in the Catholicon of Hilandar was presided over by His Grace Bishop Jerotej of Šabac, with the concelebration of the Very Reverend Archimandrite Methodius, the Abbot of the Hilandar Monastery, together with the brethren, hieromonks, presbyters, and deacons.

Many pilgrims from Serbia and other countries attended the monastery’s panegyris. The Hilandar Monastery monks and chanters of the ‘Saint Simeon the Myrrh-streaming’ choir contributed to the beauty of the service.

At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, Bishop Jerotej blessed the festive koliva, after which a patronal feast meal was served for all present.
