We will learn how Vasily got to the other world, what he felt over there and how Christ’s love helped him to reconsider his way of life here. Hieromartyr Sabbas (Trlaich), Bishop of Gornji Karlovac Hieromartyr Sabbas (Trlaich), Bishop of Gornji Karlovac

The bishop and the priests were told that they were undesirables and that they must abandon their flocks. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Zagreb, Aloysius Stepinac, openly told Vladyka that he must leave ‘Croatian’ Karlovac, otherwise he would be liquidated. Vladyka answered him: ‘Even if it costs me my head, I will not abandon my people!’ Soon it became clear that the Catholic Archbishop was not joking. Vladyka Sabbas was arrested and horribly tortured. During the tortures and beatings in Plashkom, the Ustashi used a gramophone to play the hymn, ‘As many as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ’.
