Savina Monastery in Montenegro held celebrations for its patronal feast, the Dormition of the Mother of God. The event included religious services led by Metropolitan Joanikije of Montenegro and the Littoral, featuring a Holy Hierarchical Liturgy and a memorial service for the late Bishop Gerasim Petranović.

Parallel to the religious services, the 13th Square of Cyrillic hosted the Svetouspenska Academy at the monastery. Academic discussions focused on the monastery’s historical manuscripts, specifically the phototypic edition of the ‘Six Days of Nikonas of Jerusalem’, and the life of Bishop Gerasim Petranović. Metropolitan Joanikije noted that research into these manuscripts serves as a “significant testament to Serbian language and Cyrillic script.”
