Makarije Sokolović

Makarije Sokolović (16th century–1574) was the first patriarch of the restored Serbian Patriarchate of Peć. A kinsman of the Ottoman grand vizier Mehmed-paša Sokolović, he owed the patriarchate's 1557 restoration to the vizier's influence, after the see lapsed in 1463.

The sultan granted his patriarchate the rights of Constantinople; its jurisdiction extended beyond medieval Serbia into Bosnia and Dalmatia, with more than forty eparchies. His church renewed the Peć, Gračanica and Studenica monasteries. He resigned through illness in 1571 to his nephew Antonije and died in 1574; the Serbian Orthodox Church venerates him as a saint.
