Our father among the [[saint]]s '''Joanikije II of Pec'''(also ''Joanicius'', Serbian: '' '''Свети Јонакије патријарх српски''') was the first Serbian [[patriarch]]. His [[feast day]] is [[September 3]]/16.
==Archbishop==
He was elected [[Archbishop]] of Peć between [[December 19]], 1337 and [[January 3]], 1338. Before he was elected, he was ''logothetos'', royal chancellor. He was raised elevated to Patriarch and Archbishop of Peć on [[Palm Sunday]], [[April 6]], 1346. This was done so that Joanikije could coronate King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan as tsar (emperor). This elevation corontion took place on [[Pascha]] of 1346 with the approval of the Patriarch of Trnovo, Archbishop of Ohrid, and community of [[Mount Athos]].
Patr. Joanikije continued a tradition of building [[church]]es and [[monastery|monasteries]]. He built, among others, two churches in the Holy Land: the Church of Saint Elias on Carmel and the Church of Saint Nicholas on Mount Tabor.
