Saint Nicholas Velimirovic Above Orient and Occident Translated from Serbian by Gheorghita Ciocioi Which is the mysterious power redeeming Balkans from their position between Orient and Occident, and places them above and beyond these cardinal points? It is Orthodox faith. Doubtlessly, Orthodox faith! All other factors, such as geographic location, culture, science, Islam, politics, earthly tribulations and aspirations, make Balkans a mere bridge across the Orient-Occident gap. Orthodox faith, however, elevates them above Orient and Occident; solely the Orthodox faith! Minding this, Balkans cannot stand between Orientand Occident, but above either of them, to illuminate them both. Above Orient and Occident! Format: 11 x 20 cm, 96 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-087-4 «« back
