Holy New Serbian Martyrs

Edited by Johann Gascoigne

In the last century, the Orthodox Church received hundreds of thousands if not millions of martyrs. Former Yugoslavia is just one place that was blessed once again by the blood of martyrs. This book gives a glimpse into a few lives of those who were martyred for their faith. Despite being small, within are marvels of endurance and triumphs which match the martyrs of old.

The martyrs in the book follow in a strong tradition of martyrs. Father Rafailo was named for a monk-martyr of Hilandar, the royal Serbian lavra, when he was tonsured a monk. In others you can see the spirit of St. Sava, a martyr through asceticism, and St. Habbakuk the deacon whom the Turks impaled.
