Sava's descent from the Mount or: Domentian's Sinai mirror
The paper discusses St. Sava's trip to Mount Sinai, which he visited during his second travel to the Holy Land. Particular attention is paid to the symbolism of Sava's descent from the Mount, and to the ideas pointed out in Domentian's Praise of St. Sava, which has a specific function in both "The Life of St. Sava" and the aforementioned work. The description and praise are also considered as part of the idea of "the new Israel", which was not new in Serbian medieval literature, but would be given the strongest emphasis precisely by Domentian. The final part of the paper stresses the importance of a Theotokological and Christological framework for the description of Sava's stay on Mount Sinai.
