Our fathers among the [[saint]]s '''Paisius ''' (Пајсије) was and '''Abacuk''' (Авакум) were [[igumenmonk]] of s at the Tavna [[Monastery ]] near Čačak in Serbia. Paisius was an [[igumen]], and Abacuk a [[hierodeacon ]]. Abacuk (Авакум) was his brethern in the same monastery. He came few years later arrived from Gomionica Monastery which was near Banja Luka.   As Christians, both were impaled on stakes by the Turks on the Kalemegdan in Belgrade on [[December 17]], 1814. Carrying Paisius carried his stake through the streets of Belgrade, while the courageous Abacuk sang. When his Abacuk's mother begged him with tears to embrace Islam in order to save his life, this wonderful soldier of Christ replied to her:
"My mother, thank you for your milk,
But for your counsel I thank you not:
There is no faith as beutifull beautiful as a Christian one
A Serb is Christ's; he rejoices in death.
To day Today for the Name of Christ."
Even Turks were impressed by his atitudeattitude. Turkish governor ordered torterors torturers to gave kill Abacuk painless deathpainlessly. Тheir feast day is Decmber [[December 17]]/[[December 30|30]].
