Nikodim II

Nikodim II (Serbian Cyrillic: Никодим II) was the Serbian Patriarch in the period of 1446–1453.^[1]

As the hegumen of the Studenica monastery, Nikodim was appointed the Metropolitan of Raška some time prior to 1439. He chirotonized the Moldavian metropolitan Teoktist, instead of the old Joakim who supported Uniatism. Despot Đurađ Branković opposed Uniatism and did not send his delegates to Fiorentina in 1439, when the Uniatism between the Byzantine Emperor and the Pope was concluded. That year, the Serbian Despotate for the first time fell to the Ottomans, then after a couple of years restored independence. He was chosen for the Serbian Patriarch in 1446, while also administrating the Archbishopric of Ohrid in the period of 1451–53. In 1452, Nikodim II gifted the manuscript book Margarit of John Chrysostom, which is today held in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity of Pljevlja.

Nikodim II was the penultimate Serbian Patriarch before the fall of the Serbian Despotate under the Ottomans, who in 1453 conquered Christian Byzantium and Constantinople.
