Serbian Church glorifies Father Justin Popovich, Father Simeon of Dajbabe

The Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church has released this communique on April 29, 2010:

At its afternoon session on April 29 of this year, the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church unanimously adopted the recommendations of the responsible diocesan bishops and added to the diptychs of the saints of the Orthodox Church the names of Archimandrite Justin Popovich spiritual father of the Chelije Monastery near Valjevo of blessed memory (1894-1979), hereafter known as our Venerable Father Justin of Chelije, and Simeon Popovic, abbot of the Dajbabe Monastery near Podgorica (1854-1941), hereafter known as our Venerable Father Simeon of Dajbabe.


The liturgical commemoration of our Venerable Father Justin will be on June 1 on the Old Calendar (June 14 according to the New Calendar), and the commemoration of our Venerable Father Simeon will be celebrated on March 19 on the Old Calendar (April 1 on the New Calendar).

The festal glorification of these newly-canonized God-pleasing ones will take place at the Holy Hierarchical Liturgy of the Holy Assembly of Bishops next Sunday, May 2, at St. Sava Church on Vracar in Belgrade, beginning at 9:00 AM.

O our Venerable and God-bearing Fathers Justin and Simeon, pray to God for us!

Glory to God in His saints!

Troparia to St. Justin (tone 4)

As Orthodox sweetness and divine nectar, Venerable Father
thou dost flow into the hearts of believers as a wealth:
by thy life and teachings thou didst reveal thyself to be a living book of the Spirit, most wise Justin;
therefore pray to Christ the Word
that the Word may dwell in those who honor thee.

St. Simeon I know less about... is there anywhere I can get information about him? Is he related to St. Justin?

Hopefully someone will be able to help.

Hallo!

The apolytikion of Saint Justin (tone 1):

Let us honor with splendor the divinely inspired theologian, the wise Serb Justin,
who by the scythe of the Holy Spirit hath thrashed the error of atheism and the insolence of the Latins,
being a mystic of the God-man and lover of piety, crying out:
Glory to Christ Who hath glorified thee, glory to Him Who hath crowned thee,
glory to Him Who hath rendered thee a luminary to those who are in a state of darkness.

I wonder if the line "hath trashed the error of atheism and the insolence of the Latins" refers to a specific event in Saint Justin's life or generally to his life and work.

The Orthodox Word issue 270-271 has the life of St Simeon Popovich.

In the latest issue of the Orthodox Word 270-271 there is an account of St Simeon plus some of his sayings.
