Sava Očinić


Sava Očinić was a Serbian Orthodox bishop, serving as the Metropolitan of Cetinje from 1694 to 1697. He was born in Kaluđerović brotherhood in Očinići, a small village near Cetinje, hence his sobriquet. He succeeded Visarion Borilović. Sava was ordinated a bishop in November 1694 by Hadži-Simeon, Savatije Ljubibratić and Gerasim in Herceg Novi. Due to the destruction of the Old Cetinje Monastery by the forces of Süleyman Bushati in 1692 he lived in the Dobrska Ćelija monastery in Dobrsko Selo, where the seat of the Metropolitanate was temporary moved. He was succeeded by Danilo Šćepčević.
