  • Mice Pilgrimages: Dubrava Monastery

    In the first episode of the series we've been meaning to make since forever M & B are joined by M's family to visit the beautiful Dubrava Monastery on the slopes of the Zlatibor mountain. We talk about and share our experiences of this hidden jewel of asceticism that was founded in a very miraculous manner.

  • Patriarch Porphyrios - Man for All Seasons

    Serbs finally got their patriarch and we comment on multiple facets: what were people hoping for during the elections? Did even the atheists have their preferred candidate? (Yes) How difficult is to be a patriarch? (Very) Will we stray from the subject? (Yes)

  • Bishops, Government and Miscellanea

    Today we talk about... well, everything. Bishops, electing the new Serbian patriarch, how the Serbian constitution from the 19th century treated slavery, prayer for the government, the people in power... you know, all the things normal people talk about in their spare time!

  • Are Orthodox Christians Toxic Online Or Salt To The World?

    Well, Twitter's dark pattern design is at it again, for the sole purpose of pitting us against one another. After a minor Twitter scuffle, we share some of our thoughts and opinions: why do Orthodox Christians have a reputation of toxicity online? Does it have to do with the Faith, or with demographics, or is there some maleficent part of Twitter's design that crunches out arguments and senseless fights? Is humor a problem? And finally - how can we do better at witnessing Christ both to one another and to those outside of the Church?

  • Council of Saints: Holy Martyr Deacon Habakkuk of Belgrade and Holy Martyr Hegumen Paisios

    “There is no better faith than that of Christians,

    a Serb belongs to Christ, he rejoices at death;
    The dread judgment of God awaits for Turks as well,
    So do as you please!
    Your comeuppance is close at hand
    God is the witness and His is the justice!”

    Troparion, 4th tone

    As true soldiers of Christ,
    you shone forth with meekness and humility
    and for Christ you suffered courageously,
    O Holy Martyrs Paisius and Habakkuk,
    but your deaths proclaim to all
    hat it is better to die for Christ and for one’s country
    than without Christ to gain the whole world.

    Kontakion, 3rd tone.

    In this world you lived like angels
    and by your lives fulfilled the Gospel.
    You laid down your souls for faith and country,
    in death you showed yourselves to be stronger than your tormentors,
    therefore we celebrate your memory,
    O holy venerable martyrs Paisius and Habakkuk.
