On Saturday, September 29, 2018, in the presence of a large number of believers, in the village of Kruševci, the parish of Knežin, in the municipality of Sokolac, a newly built church was consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas of Myra, the Miracle Worker.
With the blessing of His Eminence, Bishop of Zvornik-Tuzla Mr. Fotija, the solemn act of consecration was performed by Archpriest-Staurophore Vidoje Lukić, Archbishop of Zvornik, as well as Archpriest-Staurophore Dušan Spasojević, Archbishop of Srebrenica-Podrinje.
Also, in the very act of consecration, the priest Milidrag Stokanović from the Diocese of Gornja Karlovačka took part, and with his presence this event was enlarged by the retired parish priest of Sokolac, archpriest-staurophore Milorad Ljubinac.
The founder and godfather of this temple was Mr. Dr. Milan Radović, who on this occasion was awarded the Order of the Holy King Dragutin for special merits ...
Radovic, mine, everybody out of honor!
Bishop Chrysostom said after the meeting that the construction of the temple, which will not be large, should start soon, and that it should be put under the roof by winter.
He stated that in Turkish times, there were many Serbian churches that Serbs came to secretly, and now the time has come for Orthodox churches to be built freely, in places where they will be visible.
Bishop Chrysostom said that the development of this municipality and the region was discussed at the meeting, and especially the issues related to the Diocese of Zvornik and Tuzla.
Noting that most of the municipality of Sokolac belongs to the Diocese of Dabro-Bosnia, and that one part is located in the Diocese of Zvornik-Tuzla, he said that they also talked about the monastery in Knezina and the church under construction in Kalina near Sokolac.
The mayor of Sokolac, Milovan Bjelica, said that Milan Radović from Sokolac, who lives in Banja Luka, expressed his desire to build a temple in his village.
He added that Radović has so far financially helped draft the monograph of this municipality, as well as the work of several associations and non-governmental organizations, and he was awarded the municipal charter for last year.
