(OBL News) - A polyarchieratic-concelebrating liturgy (quite a word, meaning concelebrated by many hierarchs) has been served today, in the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade, where Patriarch Pavle is hospitalized, on the occasion of the day of beheading of St John the Baptist. The liturgy was served by Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije, with West European Bishop Konstantin and Hvostan Bishop Atanasije. Amfilohijhe said the life of the patriarch is filled with feats and virtues, but also with sufferings and challenges. He was orphaned in his early childhood, he lived through wars and also served in the crucified Kosovo as a bishop, where he bore the cross of his nation. Patriarch Pavle is the 44th patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church and has been serving at this office for 19 years. Today he is 95 and has been for two years attended to by a team of doctors at the Military Medical Academy, who are sending regular reports on his health condition to the Holy Synod.
