According to the folk ballad The Fall of the Serbian Empire Prince
Lazar made a decision on the eve of the battle of Kosovo in 1389 saying
". . . the secular Kingdom will not last long, being transitory as all on
this earth is, whilst the heavenly one will last through all eternity." The
author of the folk ballad must certainly have been acquainted with the
Word on St Prince Lazar written by Patriarch Danilo III between 1392
and 1398 in which the Prince tells his soldiers, among other things, the
following: "... We have lived in peace for a long time, but we now must
strive to embrace the way of martyrdom in order to win eternal life in
Heaven . . ." In the Liturgy to St Lazar his death is glorified as a triumph
of the victim over the conqueror and tyrant, of love over hatred and
violence, of the heavenly over the earthy, of the spiritual over the carnal,
of life eternal over death, and of justice over injustice.
