[edit] The "mysterious" disappearing nunneries of Mt. Athos!

Ninam wrote "yep, there is no "nunneries" on Mt. Athos, only Ascetic nuns (houses of ascetisam)".

You know what they say about assuming.... Not a grammar mistake, my ignorance. sorry Muj0 20:50, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The location of the burning

The relics of St Sava were not burned in the main square of Belgrade but in the "Field of Vračar". The presumable location of the spot where the burning took place is not atop the hill where the Church of St Sava stands today but somewhere around the Church of St Mark and the Tašmajdan Park.

Please correct this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dultz (talk • contribs) 17:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English name

I am deleting the alleged English version of the name ("Saint Abbas"). I can find no reference to this via Google except on wiki mirror sites and I think it is incorrect. All English-language sources I can find simply refer to "Saint Sava" or "Saint Sava of Serbia".

The only other Google mentions are a few descriptions of Stjepan Vukcic as the Duke of Saint Abbas but I think that is a case of the same error being repeated elsewhere. According to the italian wikipedia article St Sava was named in honour of a much earlier saint, Sabas. Perhaps the confusion occured because of someone mis-hearing Sabas as Abbas.

But the English-language lists of saints all have two different names, Saint Sabas for the Palestinian, Sava for the Serb and no Saint Abbas at all.

Apologies if I'm wrong. Jameswilson 00:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Hymn

Hi, recently someone created an article for Hymn to Saint Sava. I have the feeling that the Hymn does not warrant its own article. Should it be merged with this one? Is it something notable to begin with? There are no sources cited in the Hymn page and I am considering nominating it for deletion soon if that does not change. Thanks! --Ubardak (talk) 09:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
