在中世纪和奥斯曼帝国时期的塞尔维亚口头传统中，被已故塞尔维亚宗主教日耳曼人誉为“塞尔维亚天堂的太阳”的圣萨瓦的作用是永远守护塞尔维亚人民。然而，在民族主义时代，塞尔维亚的圣萨瓦崇拜获得了不同的任务，根据情况，代表和再现民族黄金时代、民族和解与统一和/或为教会和民族殉难的强大形象。世纪以来，贝尔格莱德一直在建造一座献给这位圣人的教堂，旨在集中体现和纪念这些图像。经过多年的遗忘，塞尔维亚教会在20世纪90年代中期将注意力重新吸引到圣萨瓦教堂，并开始在建筑工地前的高原上举行仪式，最近甚至在未完工的教堂内举行仪式。在塞尔维亚社会完全崩溃的气氛中，无法提供基本的经济和政治安全，更不用说精神或文化复兴了，“塞尔维亚国家大教堂”再次被誉为“战胜敌人”的庆祝活动，它作为社会对共产主义时代忏悔行为的部分作用消失了。2000年，在米洛舍维奇被推翻和几乎中断了十年之后，这项工作又开始了。在其建造开始一个多世纪后，Vracar山上的教堂仍在等待完工，并承担其被分配的纪念碑和纪念碑的作用。
The role of St. Sava, whom the late Serbian Patriarch German praised as the “Sun of Serbian heaven” in Serbian oral tradition during medieval and Ottoman period was to al-ways watch over Serbian people. In the age of nationalism however, the Serbian cult of St. Sava acquired different tasks representing and reproducing, depending on circumstances, powerful images of national golden age, national reconciliation and unification and/or martyrdom for the Church and the nation. For more than a century now, a church dedicated to this saint is being built in Belgrade, aimed to epitomize and monumentalize these images. After years of oblivion the Serbian Church in mid-1990s drew attention back to the St. Sava Church and began holding services on the plateau in front of the construction site or recently even inside the unfinished church. In the atmosphere of the complete breakdown of the Serbian society, where basic economic and political security could not be provided, not to mention spiritual or cultural revival, “Serbian National Cathedral” was again hailed as a celebration of “victory over the enemy” and the segment of its role as the act of societal repentance for the communist era was lost. In the year 2000, after the overthrow of Milosevic and almost a ten-years break, the work has begun again. More than a century after its construction was initiated, the Church on Vracar Hill is still awaiting completion and to assume the monumental and memorial role it was assigned.
