🇲🇪 This is Bishop Joanikije, a bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro.
👨🏻✈️ On 12 May, he was unjustly arrested by the Montenegrin police for leading a religious procession marking the day of St. Basil of Ostrog. His detention was fervently protested by faithful Orthodox Christians across the country in wide-scale demonstrations and as a result the much-loved bishop was released from custody four days later.
☦🚫 Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting about not just this particular incident, but the persecution that Christians of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro have been facing as a whole since last December when the US puppet President Milo Đukanović signed into law a decree which transfers the ownership of Serbian Orthodox Church property to the state.
💪🏻 I think it's important to share this information because the inspiring actions of the Serbian Orthodox Christians in Montenegro should serve as an example to us all on why we must never back down against persecution.
