January 27: Feast of Saint Sava (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia)

The Feast of Saint Sava is observed in Serbia and the Republika Srpska on January 27. This significant religious holiday celebrates Saint Sava, who was born Rastko Nemanjić in 1174 and became the first Archbishop of Serbs in 1291, establishing the Serbian Orthodox Church's autocephaly. He is also recognized for publishing Serbia's first constitution, Zakonopravilo, which remains the highest church code of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The feast day is particularly important for Serbian schools, as Saint Sava is the patron saint of education; thus, students typically have a day off to participate in recitals at church. The holiday reflects the cultural and religious heritage of the Serbian people, emphasizing the legacy of Saint Sava as a foundational figure in Serbian history.
