Dear friends,

On the Twenty-eighth of June, the Serbian people keep Vidovdan — the day we remember Kosovo and Metohija. It has always been a day of memory more than of mourning: the cross taken up freely, and the Kingdom chosen above every earthly crown. From the Field of Kosovo to the parishes our grandparents raised an ocean away, that covenant has been kept for six centuries.

This week, in that same spirit of remembrance, we open our shelves to you.

The Christian Heritage of Kosovo and Metohija

The Historical and Spiritual Heartland of the Serbian People

A thousand pages. Nearly eight hundred color plates of the monasteries, frescoes, and icons that form the oldest treasury of Serbian faith and culture. Edited by Bishop Atanasije Jevtić, Bishop Maxim Vasiljević, and the historian Dušan Bataković — with chapters by writers as far afield as G. K. Chesterton, Rebecca West, and Sir Arthur Evans — it remains the definitive book on Kosovo and Metohija in any language, and was named Publishing Project of the Year from the Diaspora at the 2015 Belgrade Book Fair.

Задужбине Косова и Метохије

Историјско, духовно и културно наслеђе Српског народа

The same monumental work in Serbian (Cyrillic), for those who read the mother tongue — so that the holy Kosovo and Metohija Covenant may endure for every generation to come.

Vidovdan does not look away from suffering; it transfigures it.

Chronicles of the Renewed Crucifixion of Kosovo and Metohija

Diary Entries and Other Records, March 1999 – December 2000

An eyewitness account by Metropolitan Amphilochius (Radović) of the destruction visited upon Kosovo and Metohija’s churches, monasteries, and people in 1999. Seven hundred pages of diary entries that read as a modern book of martyrs — a testament to suffering, and to the faith that endured it. In English.

From Kosovo and Metohija to Jadovno, Jasenovac, and Prebilovci

Pentateuch of Suffering — by Bishop Atanasije (Jevtić)

The final work of the same hand that gave us the heritage of Kosovo and Metohija: five volumes, more than two thousand pages, bearing witness to the renewed martyrdom of the Serbian Church and people. More than history, it is a spiritual testament — a journey through pain toward the light of the Kingdom. In Serbian.

The Great War 1914-1918

The Kingdom of Serbia, the United States of America, and the Serbian American Diaspora

On Vidovdan of 1914, a shot at Sarajevo set the century alight; within weeks the Kingdom of Serbia stood in a war that would take a greater share of its people than almost any nation endured — and Serbian-American volunteers sailed home to fight. This anthology gathers that story, alongside President Wilson’s 1918 appeal to Americans to pray for the Serbs.

Behind every book above stands a single life,
given entirely to this cause.

Atanasije – A Life Story

by Bishop Maxim (Vasiljević)

Bishop Atanasije Jevtić (1938–2021) edited The Christian Heritage of Kosovo and Metohija, wrote its Pentateuch of Suffering, and spent a lifetime defending its monasteries and its people. This biography by Bishop Maxim traces that entire journey in nearly eight hundred pages — from a village boyhood, through studies in Athens and Paris, to the episcopate and the long, unrelenting labor for Kosovo and Metohija that defined his life. In English.

Атанасије – један животопис

The same biography in Serbian (Cyrillic) — the original edition, so that those who knew the Bishop in the mother tongue may follow his path in his own words.

And the covenant crossed the ocean.

The Serbian Christian Heritage of America

The Historical, Spiritual and Cultural Presence of the Serbian Diaspora in North America (1815–2019)

A thousand illustrated pages tracing two centuries of Serbian Orthodox life in the New World — the churches, the people, and the faith that took root in American soil.

Serbian Americans

History, Culture, Press

A learned, lucid, and very readable account of who we became here — a fine place to begin.

With every blessing for Vidovdan,

Bishop Maxim and Sebastian Press Team
