I called St. Sava "the first apostle of the Serbs and a saint of both East and West".

Dr. Pfatteicher, in his book on LBW Commemoratins, uses "apostle to the north" in describing St. Angsar.

St. Ansgar (Sweden) is an Orthodox saint as well as a Western one.So are Sts. Boniface (Germany), Olaf (Norway), Aidan (Britain), Patrick (Ireland), and many others.

St. Sava stands out as a saint of both East and West who lived AFTER both the Great Schism and the brutal 1204 Frankish conquest (called a "crusade") of Constantinople. It seems he was an Orthodox bishop who was nice to the papists in Serbia, too.

Among Lutherans, the "micro-Lutheran" Evangelical Catholic Church has St. Sava in its Kalendar. With the cockeyed elimination of commemorations of Russian saints in the ELCA's feminazi and anti-O/orthodox new hymnal, it's DOUBLY important to remember St. Sava!!!!
