Spiridon (patriarch)
Spiridon ( sr-cyr, Спиридон; 1379–d. 11 August 1389) was the Patriarch of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć from 1380 to 1389. He held office during the reign of Prince Lazar, who was recognized by the Serbian Church as the legitimate ruler of the Serbian lands (in the period of the Fall of the Serbian Empire), and with whom he closely cooperated. Spiridon was chosen to succeed Patriarch Jefrem, who abdicated, in 1379, and was enthroned after 3 May 1380. Historian M.

He is believed to have been born in Niš, as written in the old list of Serbian patriarchs (), accepted in early Serbian li ...
