These locations are all in the Republic of Macedonia and likely the ones disputed with the Macedonian Orthodox Church. --Joy [shallot] 19:20, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What, even Skadar? Nikola 07:18, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Oh, didn't notice that. That's obviously in Albania... dunno. --Joy [shallot] 00:30, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Đurđevdan

I can't find any info about Đurđevdan on Wikipedia, so I'll start it as a stub and I urge someone to supply additional info to it as it seems to be an important Serbian Orthodox holiday (and I can't figure out 100% which day it is :-) ). Dijxtra 20:49, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ranking

According to Ecumenical Patriarchate (http://www.ec-patr.gr/en/links.htm), Patriarchate of Serbia is ranked #6, after Patriarchate of Russia. Patriarchate of Georgia is listed #9, after Romania and Bulgaria. Not important, but should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.121.69.85 (talk • contribs) 23:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I saw the same thing and fixed it Happyman22 16:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

The Patriarchate of Serbia is really #6 not after the one of Russia (1586 AC), but after the one of Bulgaria (927 AC).

Then Patriarch of Bulgaria German was the one who raised Prince (Knez) Stefan Dushan to the rank of king (tsar)and the Archibishop of Pec to a Patriarch despite of the objections and protests of the Patriarch of Constantinople.

See Wikipedia Eastern Orthodox Churches or any other Historical Site e.g. http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/articles/article7053.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.7.161 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

But, as far as I know, ranking does not necessarly correspond to the date of church's establishment. Vanjagenije 20:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iconoclast and Iconostasis

make sure to note the difference between an iconoclast and an iconostasis --24.2.242.93 05:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changed sentence.

Changed this:

During the 2004 unrest in Kosovo, about 300 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were damaged or destroyed.

Into this:

Since the arrival of NATO troops in June 1999, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been damaged or destroyed. During the 2004 unrest in Kosovo, 35 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were damaged or destroyed.

[edit] Saint Andrew

Is not the founder of Serbian ortodox church. The serbs hase okupeted this church. In the time of Saint Andrew there whose no serbs on this earth. Is beter to finde the real name of the founder of the serbian church. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipi Zhdripi (talk • contribs) -using the IP 88.70.184.110 (talk · contribs)- 16:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Really what for this is standing here? I think that St. Sava is enough to stand here. He get autocephality from some other church and establish Serb. Ort. Church. If someone want to go further in past Christ is founder of Christian church. :-) But I will not remove this. Let someone more involved in topic do it. --Čikić Dragan (talk) 12:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orthodox Church of Alexandria

I was unable to disambiguate that one as there are seemingly more churches with this designation. Somebody with knowledge of the subject? :-) --Ruziklan (talk) 23:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Orthodox Church of Alexandria - The throne in Alexandria was founded by St. Apostle Marcus in Egipt - 3rd Century AD. There is also a SOC parish of St. Sava in South Africa - Johannesburg. Parish of Saint Sava was founded in 1957 and the Christian Orthodox temple of St. apostle Thomas was errected in 1974. In the begining this parish was uder the protection/jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Western free world, later it was under the protectorate of Metropolitan for Australia and New Zealand . Today it is under the Patriarchate of Alexandria with a special protectorate status of his Holiness Serbian Partiarch Pavle. Regular church services are held mainly in Serbian/ old Slavonic languages as well as in English. Serving priestes are from Serbia appointed by his holiness Patriarch of SOC with the blessings of his beatitude Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and the whole of Africa. Serving priest also reports to the Matropolitan of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Kartworxsa —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kartworxsa (talk • contribs) 13:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
