Once upon a time there lived a young prince. He was unusually wise, rich and handsome. All the doors of worldly fame and pleasure were open to him, but something turned him away from the delights of the world, coveted by millions of people. And one day, hiding from his parents, he secretly fled to a deserted place, where he settled as a beggar stranger. His only desire was to illuminate his soul with God's truth and God's will, and to serve only God. Many years later, this prince, led by the hand of God, returned from the desert to his land as the prince of the Church and the spiritual leader of his nation on all times. Although he had no children, he became a father to millions and millions of his spiritual sons and daughters over the centuries. This happened more than eight centuries ago, but the torch he lit among his people still burns, and the number of his spiritual children is constantly growing. This man was amiable, but undaunted; amazingly handsome - and very modest; very active, but peaceful; sociable - and yet solitary. He knew how to live perfectly in both worlds, so many took an example from him. And today the Serbs, out of love for him, erect temples in his honor everywhere where life has scattered them.
