With
the God-loving labor of the Uteshiteljevo Eparchy’s publishing group “The
Paraclete,” Serbian believers in the homeland and diaspora have been given the
chance of having a calendar which has notconnection with the ecumenist pocket
calendar published by the “Holy Hierarchical Synod” of the Serbian Patriarchate
in which for decades we had to endure not only Papist but even Jewish feastdays
and fasts. The Orthodox Calendar 2015 is
in no way a plagiarism of the “Synod” calendar above. On the contrary, it is an original work of
the Uteshiteljevo Eparchy’s publishing group “The Paraclete.” For the first time one can find in a Serbian
calendar the dates of the glorification of the feastdays and saints canonized
by the Russian Catacomb Church, The Russian Church Abroad, and the Greek and
Romanian Old Calendar Churches, such as the Royal Martyrs Tsar Nicholas II and
family, the holy Russian new martyrs and confessors, St. John of Shanghai,
Saint Glicherie the New Confessor of
Romania, St. Philaret of New York the New Confessor, Hieromartyr Joseph of
Petrograd, along with the great miracle of God, the third appearance of the
Precious Cross above Athens in 1925 as a confirmation of the correctness of the
Old Church Calendar.
The Calendar also
contains rules for the fasts, a list of the great feasts, Soul Saturdays, and
instructions for believers for various needs.
It also contains the national anthem of the Kingdom of Serbia, “God of
Justice,” as well as the original version of the St. Sava hymn, “Let us cry
with love,” along with the directory of the Serbian TOC with the contact
information of our churches, catacomb places of prayer, and clergy. This year’s calendar is dedicated to the 70th
anniversary of the Kočevski Rog Golgotha (1945-2015) , in memory of the
horrifying Communist slaughter, the ideological massacre of 150,000 soldiers,
clergy and civilians of Serbian and Slovenian anti-Communists and monarchists who
were disarmed by deception and brutally killed in Slovenia in 1945.
We
would like to address all truth-loving and pious Serbian St. Savites with the
request to help us by their donations, and in that way become benefactors of
future editions of the Orthodox Calendar of the Serbian TOC.

who wish to become donors can contact the editor of the calendar, Priest Fr.
