Sinaites in Serbia are a special group of clergy, whose name is associated, directly or indirectly, with Mount Sinai, where Moses met God, which established the ties of the Orthodox East with the Serbian lands from the time of Saint Sava, if not before.[1] Traveling to the Holy Mountain, Saint Sava built monasteries and donated funds for their maintenance there for these spiritual ties to continue, especially during the reigns of Prince Lazar, Despot Stefan Lazarević and Djuradj Branković. Serbian monks went to Palestine, but a far larger number of Sinaitic monks also came to Serbia via Mount Athos.
The Sinaites played a significant role in spreading not only spirituality but also knowledge to the area of what was then Serbia and neighboring Bulgaria and Byzantium.
The Serbian Orthodox Church, in honor of these clergymen and their work, today celebrates the Sinai educators on 19 May according to the Julian Calendar.
