Pavle Avakumović (Serbian Cyrillic: Павле Авакумовић; Sentandreja, habsburg Monarchy, c. 1735 - Arad, Austrian Empire, 1 August 1815) was a prominent bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Banat, then part of the Austrian Empire.
Biography
editHe was born in Szentendre, in a noble family. The Avakumović family (descendants of Avakum Popović of Sentandreja) were ennobled in 1791 by the Austrian Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II.[1] Father Nikola [2] was a senator from Sentandreja,[3] whose portrait and his wife and sons was done by the famous Serbian painter Teodor Ilić Češljar. All the sons of Nikolina - five of them, occupied a high social and state position at the time when they became nobles. Pavle's brother Stefan Avakumović was also a Serbian bishop, whose 1790 portrait by the same painter Teodor Ilić Češlar now hangs in the National Museum of Serbia (next to Pavle's portrait also by Češlar done in 1789). Another brother Jovan Avakumović was a lawyer and poet, and the head of the District of Velika Kikinda, from 1789.
Pavle Avakumović was ordained a deacon on 29 July 1761, and three years later, on 26 September 1764, he was ordained a monk in the Rakovac monastery in Fruška Gora. He was the archimandrite of the Bezdin Monastery (1778-1783) before being elected bishop.
Metropolitan Mojsije Putnik consecrated Pavle as a bishop in Timisoara on 29 October 1783.[4] He was on the throne of the Diocese of Pakrac from 1783 to 1786. In 1786, as the bishop of Pakrac, he became the bishop of Archdiocese of Arad.[5] He advocated for the opening of Serbian schools in both dioceses.[6]
Pavle Avakumović died in Arad on 1 August 1815.[7]
