Serbian Orthodox Church
The Serbian Orthodox Church, established in 1219 by Saint Sava, is an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Church integral to Serbian culture and spirituality. It plays a key role in preserving Serbian heritage, especially during periods of foreign rule. The Church is structured into metropolitanates and eparchies mainly in the Balkans, serving the Serbian population and diaspora globally. Its historical and contemporary significance is profound, with its leader, the Serbian Patriarch, currently Patriarch Porfirije, positioned as a spiritual guide and national figurehead.
