Jubilees in honour of Father Justin: 125 years since his birth and 40 years since his repose, were celebrated by consecration of a three-altar church dedicated to Saint Sava, Saint Justin the Martyr and Saint Mary the Egyptian, erected according to a testament of Abba in Monastery of Celije, where he had served to God for three decades.
The rite of consecration and the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy was officiated by the hierarchs: Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral, Marko of Berlin and Germany (Russian Church Abroad), Irinej of Backa, Pahomije of Vranje, Jovan of Sumadija, Teodosije of Raska-Prizren, David of Krusevac, Heruvim of Osek-Polje and Baranja, Isihije of Mohacs, retired Bishop Jovan of Nis, retired Atanasije of Zahumlje-Herzegovina and the host, Diocesan Bishop Milutin of Valjevo.
