Tens of thousands of Serbian Orthodox faithful came out to the Cathedral of St. Sava in Belgrade last night for a moleben for the sanctity of marriage and the family and harmony and peace in Serbia celebrated by His Holiness Patriarch Porfirije.
The central streets were “jammed with endless columns of pious people” from across the country, the Serbian Orthodox Church reports.
The prayer event comes on the eve of the planned EuroPride, a pan-European LGBT event to be held in Belgrade today through the 18th. The Serbian president earlier announced at least a postponement of the week-long event due to serious security concerns, but organizers have repeatedly declared that they will hold the event on schedule, no matter what.
The faithful have processed in protest of the event several times already.
Yesterday’s moleben was attended by a number of Serbian hierarchs, including His Grace Bishop Longin of the Diocese of New Gračanica and Midwestern America.

They would have been driven off the streets in quite a few places here in the USA.
God Bless the Orthodox Serbian people!!!!
O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting to Thy people victory over all their enemies, and by the power of Thy Cross preserving Thy commonwealth.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Do Thou, Who of Thine own good will wast lifted up upon the Cross, O Christ our God, bestow Thy bounties upon the new Nation which is called by Thy Name; make glad in Thy might those who lawfully govern, that with them we may be led to victory over our adversaries, having in Thine aid a weapon of peace and a trophy invincible.
Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O Champion dread, who cannot be put to confusion, despise not our petitions, O Good and All-praised Theotokos; establish the way of the Orthodox; save those who have been called upon to govern us, leading us to that victory which is from heaven, for thou art she who gavest birth to God, and alone art blessed.
Wonderful! Half Serb here.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
