Saint Sava
Saint Sava (Rastko Nemanjić, 1175–1236) was the youngest son of Grand Župan Stefan Nemanja. History records his fateful escape to Mount Athos, which began the transformation of the Serbian state from a tribal to a civilized European nation. Small icons of him were always a mandatory part of "student supplies" in Serbian schools during the 19th century, preserving the spirit of education even in the hardest times. This 14 cm format continues that tradition, reminding us that the "path that leads to life" is the one that merges education and spirituality, no matter where we are.
