Životopis vladike Mardarija

The Holy Assembly of Hierarchs of theSerbian Orthodox Church during its regularsession on May 29, 2015, added the name of Bishop Mardarije (Uskoković) of Libertyville to the Dyptich of Saints (Calendar of Saints) of the Orthodox Church. The author of this biography guides us through the life of this clergyman and preacher of the Gospel, God-pleasing servant of holy life, and inspirer of many missionaries. Born in Montenegro, tonsured in Studenica Monastery, Serbia, educated in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and elsewhere in the Russian Empire, calledand placed to work in the Church and with the people in the diaspora in North America, Mardarije was manifested as a man of an entirely unusual spiritual format. His truly missionary work extended from the very end of Eastern Europe in distant Russia to the very western end of even more distant America.
