Order of St. Sava

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Order of St. Sava was a decoration instituted by the order King Milan I of Serbia in 1883. The Order of St. Sava originally was established to recognize civilians for meritorious achievements in the arts and sciences. In 1914 a change was made permitting military personnel to receive the honor for military merit.

There is also a fraternal organization with a similar name, the Loyal Order of St. Sava, organized for social interactions among Serbian American residents of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Still another Order of St.Sava is conferred by the Orthodox Church of Serbia.
