Nicholas Velimirovich, st.
The Hundred Chapters of Ljubostinja
Translation from Serbian by Nicola Savici
During the Second World War, St. Nicholas Velimirovich did not seek refuge from the country, but suffered alongside his people, was seized and placed under arrest at the Liubostinia Monastery. It was the beginning of a via crucis that was to end only four years later, in the terrible concentration camp of Dachau, from where Bishop Nicholas was freed by American troops.
The war was also waged against the hundreds of thousands Serbians whose only fault was their refusal to renounce their ancestors’ Orthodox faith, against the clergy and the worship places. These were atrocities perpetrated by the representatives of allegedly Christian countries, no different in practice from Soviet atheists or ancient pagan emperors. Under arrest, St. Nicholas was unable to intervene as he had done before, but from his monastery he witnessed the slaughters committed by the representatives of the “advanced” Occidental civilization alienated from Christ. He did write, however, in order to testify to the truth and his faith. His suffering and tears brought forth this little book: The Hundred Chapters of Ljubostinja.
