September 12, 1920. A Restoration
Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church at the point of its reunification, Dimitrije Pavlović
On this date in 1920, the Serbian Orthodox Church was reunified after a long period of separation due to its members being in various empires. The aftermath of World War One changed that situation. The church is the second oldest Slavic Orthodox Church, second only in that status to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The church today has over 8,000,000 members, mostly in Serbia, and is one of the Eastern Orthodox Churches in communion with Constantinople.
