Metropolitan of Zeta Vavila was a Serbian Metroplolitan of Zeta in the period from 1494 to 1520 during the early Ottoman occupation of the Balkan Peninsula.
He is first mentioned in written documents in 1484 alongside Visarion the then Metropolitan of Zeta, probably as his vicar bishop. Both are mentioned "and in the charter of Ivan Crnojević, the new seat of the Metropolitanate of Zeta, was the monastery of St. Bogorodice in Cetinje, from 5 January 1485. As a metropolitan, Vavila is mentioned in the Oktoih prvoglasnik of 1494, the first printed book of the South Slavs. During his time, hieromonk Makarije printed the Octoich osmoglasnik in 1493–1494, as well as a collection in Venice in 1495.
Of the old Church Slavonic printed books, Archbishop and Metropolitan of Zeta Vavila could and probably had a share in the following works:
1. ČASLOVAC, printed in Venice by Andrija Torresanski and completed on March 13, 1493. The only known copy of this book to date is in the City Library in Nuremberg. Bibliographic information about another book in which Archbishop and Metropolitan of Zeta Vavila is explicitly mentioned (and which he found in the Printing House of St. Sava in Kareja) was published by Archimandrite Nićifor Dučić in the Antiquities of the Yugoslav Academy of Arts and Sciences in Zagreb [1]
2. PROCESSOR PRINTED IN VENICE (7003=1495) (under Vavila, the oldest known so far – In the Printing House of St. Sava in Kareja.)…” Bishop of Šumadija Sava Vuković in his work “Serbian Hierarchs” states that Vavila was the Metropolitan of Zeta from 1494 to 1520.
His relics were discovered in the 1980s 20th century during archaeological excavations at the site of Cetinje Monastery. Vavila was buried together with the remains of 22 other Serbian Orthodox Metropolitans of Montenegro and the Highlands on 20 June 2015. The Holy Liturgy for the deceased was served by the Archbishop of Cetinje, Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, His Holiness Amfilohije, and the Archbishop of Michalovce and Košice of the Orthodox Church of the Czech and Slovak Lands, His Holiness Georgije, with the clergy.[2]
