A new Orthodox church dedicated to the Serbian children who died in Nazi camps in Norway during WWII is under construction in Norway.
The church is being built at the initiative of the Norwegian theologian Dr. Johanness Sulberg, who gave part of his property for the construction of the church, together with his compatriot Kiel Moen, reports the Metropolis of Montenegro.
“Dr. Johannes Sulberg gave part of his estate for the construction of a church so that the Orthodox could gather there and remember the martyred Serbian children in prayer,” explains journalist and film producer Branko Dimović.
Sulberg earlier participated in the production of the film 33 Angels, about the at least 33 children who died in Norwegian camps, which gave him the opportunity to visit the places where the Serbian people had suffered and to hear the testimonies of their descendants.
Moved by what he saw and heard, he met with His Grace Bishop Dositej of Great Britain and Scandinavia and received his blessing to give part of his estate for the building of a church.
