Sad. I hope it isn’t arson.

Terrible fire. I hope there is no one in it.

And the comments on the site are horrible.

Here's some photos and data about this very old church purchased from the Episcopal Church:

That's enough for now. Hope everybody got out all right. It's a massive fire, must be a lot of combustibles inside those stone churches.

“Candles?”

Probably, lots of them in Easter services.

Let’s not jump to conclusions. I was reading the book “The Truth About Chernobyl” and the Soviets wasted an enormous amount of time and effort at critical moments looking for saboteurs during that event when in fact...they did it to themselves!

Muslims HATE the Orthodox Christian Serbs.

Just like they HATE the Orthodox Christian Armenians and

the Orthodox Christian Greeks.

This has LONG history.

I beg to differ.

I know too much about the muslim Albanians.

You know, the muslim Albanians whom Soros and Clinton gifted with Serbia’s Kosovo.

HOW MANY ancient Serbian Orthodox Christian churches in Kosovo have the Albanian muslims dynamited?

Chernobyl has NOTHING to do with this.

Did you miss Soros’ Kosovo war?

No, not at all. I’m from NYC and nobody burns down churches there. St. Sava’s is very old and well known.

It could simply have been an accident, although, personally, I think the large Albanian Muslim population could be a factor.
