His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[February 8]], as well as in the [[synaxis]] of Serbian hierarchs on [[August 30]]. ==Life==Predislav was born in the 1200s to King Stefan the First-Crowned and his second wife, Queen-Consort Ana Dandolo. All three of Predislav's brothers were Serbian kings: Radoslav (1228-1233), St. Vladislav (1233-1243, d. 1277) and Stefan Uroš I (1243-1276). However, the kingdom of Serbia was not for Predislav. Following in the steps of St. [[Sava of Serbia]], his uncle, Predislav renounced all his titles and was [[tonsure]]d in [[Chilandari Monastery (Athos)|Chilandari Monastery]] on [[Mount Athos]], taking his uncle's name. In 1254, he was elected [[Bishop]] of Hum, a region which his uncle had briefly ruled. He participated in state council in his [[cathedral]], the Church of Saint Peter on Lim. After Archbishop [[Arsenius I (Sremac) of Pec|Arsenije]] suffered a stroke, Sava was elected archbishop. He was a good archbishop who led the Church of Serbia according to the rules of the [[saint]]s, [[apostle]]s, and [[Church Fathers]]. He died on [[February 8]], 1271, and is buried in the Church of Holy Apostles in Peć Monastery. {{start box}}{{succession|before=St. [[Arsenius I (Sremac) of Pec|Arsenije]]|title=[[List of Patriarchs of Serbia|Archbishop of Serbia]]|years=1263-1271|after=Danilo I}}{{end box}} [[Category:Bishops]][[Category:Patriarchs of Serbia]][[Category:13th-century bishops]][[Category:Saints]][[Category:Serbian Saints]][[Category:13th-century saints]]
