It is the spring of 1944, World War II is in its final stages. In a remote Serbian village, the largest single rescue operation of American and Allied pilots in world aviation history, known as Operation Halyard, is underway. Heroes of Halyard is a story about the three Jovic brothers and their family torn between conflicting ideologies. Mirko fights in the units of the Royal Yugoslav Army in Fatherland, Sreten has joined the Partisans, while Ilija, the youngest male successor, his father wants to safeguard, is torn between two sides. The saga of this family and their individual tragic fates present a paradigm of the Serbian national tragedy, wars of brother against brother and ideological splits, leading an entire nation to a pitfall.

Sunday of St. Thomas

Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all. Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, for in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

Недеља Томина

А кад би увече, онај први дан недеље, и врата беху затворена где се беху ученици скупили од страха јеврејског, дође Исус и стаде на среду и рече им: Мир вам. И ово рекавши показа им руке и ребра своја. Онда се ученици обрадоваше видевши Господа. А Исус им рече опет: Мир вам; као што Отац посла мене, и ја шаљем вас. И ово рекавши дуну, и рече им: Примите Дух Свети. Којима опростите грехе, опростиће им се; и којима задржите, задржаће се. А Тома, који се зове Близанац, један од дванаесторице, не беше онде са њима кад дође Исус. А други му ученици говораху: Видесмо Господа. А он им рече: Док не видим на рукама Његовим рана од клина, и не метнем прста свог у ране од клина, и не метнем руке своје у ребра Његова, нећу веровати. И после осам дана опет беху ученици Његови унутра, и Тома с њима. Дође Исус кад беху врата затворена, и стаде међу њима и рече: Мир вам. Потом рече Томи: Пружи прст свој амо и види руке моје; и пружи руку своју и метни у ребра моја, и не буди неверан него веран. И одговори Тома и рече Му: Господ мој и Бог мој. Исус му рече: Пошто ме виде веровао си; благо онима који не видеше и вероваше. А и многа друга чудеса учини Исус пред ученицима својим која нису писана у књизи овој. А ова се написаше, да верујете да Исус јесте Христос, Син Божји, и да верујући имате живот у име Његово.

И изишавши с њима стаде на месту равном, и гомила ученика Његових; и мноштво народа из све Јудеје и из Јерусалима, и из приморја тирског и сидонског, Који дођоше да Га слушају и да се исцељују од својих болести, и које мучаху духови нечисти; и исцељиваху се.И сав народ тражаше да Га се дотакну; јер из Њега излажаше сила и исцељиваше их све. И Он подигнувши очи на ученике своје говораше: Благо вама који сте сиромашни духом; јер је ваше царство Божије. Благо вама који сте гладни сад; јер ћете се наситити. Благо вама који плачете сад; јер ћете се насмејати. Благо вама кад на вас људи омрзну и кад вас раставе и осрамоте, и разгласе име ваше као зло Сина ради човечијег. Радујте се у онај дан и играјте, јер гле, ваша је велика плата на небу. Јер су тако чинили пророцима очеви њихови.
