Savremena Gimnazija Celebrates School Day and the Feast of Saint John the Theologian


Savremena Gimnazija proudly celebrated School Day and the Feast of Saint John the Theologian with a special program in which all students participated. This event was not only an opportunity for celebration but also a moment to renew knowledge about important figures in our faith.

Saint John the Theologian: A Model of Faith and Perseverance

Saint John the Theologian, one of the first disciples of Jesus Christ, is revered as an apostle and evangelist. Born into a devout fishing family by the Sea of Galilee, John, along with his brother James, chose to follow Christ for the entirety of his life. He was the beloved disciple of the Lord, the only one who remained with Jesus at the cross, promising to care for the Most Holy Theotokos until her Assumption.

After the resurrection of Christ, Saint John went to Ephesus, where he spread the divine Gospel and converted many to Christianity. Despite facing numerous trials, including exile to the island of Patmos, his faith remained unwavering. On that island, he wrote the renowned Gospel and the Book of Revelation, which have left an indelible mark on Christian tradition. Upon returning to Ephesus, he continued his mission, solidifying the foundations of the Christian faith.

Creative Contributions of Students: A Program Dedicated to Tradition

The celebration of this feast at Savremena Gimnazija highlights the significance of Saint John the Theologian in the history of our faith. The program included recitations, songs, and performances, showcasing the exceptional creativity and dedication of the participants.

We extend our gratitude to all students who participated in the preparation and execution of the program, contributing to making this day special. This tradition not only strengthens the sense of community among students but also reminds them of the values that are the foundation of our culture and identity. Today, together with Saint John the Theologian, we renew our commitment to faith and tradition.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
