Vladika Nikolaj Velimirović

Vladika Nikolaj Velimirović (1881-1956) was a prominent Serbian Orthodox bishop known for his deep faith, scholarly contributions, and activism in the Serbian diaspora. He survived multiple near-death experiences, including imprisonment in the Dachau concentration camp during World War II, and later moved to the United States where he became a significant voice for the Serbian community. His death on March 18, 1956, was shrouded in mystery, with reports suggesting he died under suspicious circumstances, as he was found in a prayerful position with traces of foam at his mouth, leading to speculation about foul play.
