Serbian Orthodox Church celebrates Saint Michael the Confessor

The Serbian Orthodox Church observes the feast of Saint Michael the Confessor, an early‑century bishop and martyr, with prayers and hymns. According to church tradition, Michael and fellow monk Saint Teofilact performed a miracle that turned a dry copper well into a source of water during a severe drought.

Customs for the day advise the faithful to avoid strenuous tasks, settle disputes, and clean their homes as a sign of spiritual renewal.
