On Saturday, August 8/21, 2021, the holiday of the Tuman Saints — Saint Zosimus the Sinaite and Saint Jakov of Tuman, was marked in the Monastery of Tuman.

After the Divine Liturgy, served by several hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church, there was a whole–day of spiritual and scientific lectures and cultural program, focused on the legacy of the “God–Worshipper Movement” (in Serbian: Богомољачки покрет / Bogomoljački pokret) of Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich and his collaborators, especially on St. Jakov (Radoje) Arsović.

Among other speakers and performers, there were several especially interesting lectures. The Very Rev. Archimandrite Dositej (Miljkov) of the Monastery of Grgeteg held a lecture on God–Worshipper Movement in the 20th century, while Rev. Fr. Aleksandar Jovanović talked on the Saints of the Monastery of Tuman. Professor Rastko Jović from the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade held a lecture on the joys of the Church’s life. Aleksandar Ristanović, an actor and performer, directed and performed a monodrama on St. Jakov Arsović, entitled “A Witness of Repent” [in Serbian: „Сведок покајања“].
