On Saturday, January 27, 2024, St. Sava's Day was solemnly celebrated in Stockholm. The liturgy held in the church of St. Sava in Stockholm, in addition to the clergy of the Stockholm parishes, was also attended by the rector of the St. Sava Seminary in Belgrade, protodeacon Radomir Vrućinić, father Igor Davidović, archbishop for Scandinavia of the British-Scandinavian diocese and the Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in Stockholm, Jelena Čukić Matić with the team of the Serbian Embassy in Stockholm.
For the first time, due to the great interest of our diaspora in Sweden, the Solemn Academy of Saint Sava was celebrated this year, instead of in the church premises, in a larger space in the center of Stockholm. The ceremonial program of the Sveti Sava Academy lasted for two hours, and the gathered were greeted by the priest of the Stockholm parishes, father Dušan Raković, who thanked the diaspora who came in large numbers and welcomed the Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia, Jelena Čukić Matić, to the Kingdom of Sweden.
Radomir Vrućinić, rector of the St. Sava Seminary, also addressed the Diaspora, reminding the audience of the most important merits of St. Sava. Folkloric associations from three Stockholm municipalities - Sodertelje, Solna and Haningе - took part in the festive program. During the program, scholarships were awarded by the Stockholm parishes to three students from Stockholm.
