[[Image:Nikolaj.jpg|leftright|frame|Nikolaj Velimirović]]On [[May 19]], 2003, the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the [[Church of Serbia|Serbian Orthodox Church]], with one heart and one voice, unanimously decided to enter Bishop Nicholai (Velimirovic) of Ohrid and Zicha into the calendar of saints of our Holy Orthodox Church.
St. Nikolai Velimirovich is often referred to as Serbia's New [[John Chrysostom|Chrysostom]]. St. [[John Maximovitch]], who had been a young instructor at a seminary in Bishop Nikolai's diocese of Zica, called him "a great saint and Chrysostom of our day [whose] significance for Orthodoxy in our time can be compared only with that of Metropolitan Anthony [Khrapovitsky]. ... They were both universal teachers of the Orthodox Church."
