Sabbas (Sava,Savo, Saba, or Savva) the Goth is a martyr and Christian saint.

He was born in 334 to Christian parents in a village in the Buzău river valley and lived in what is now the Wallachia region in Romania.^{[citation needed]} His Act of Martyrdom states that he was a Goth by race and may have been a cantor or a reader to the religious community there.

He was martyred during the reign of Valentinian and Valens. In the year 371, a Gothic nobleman began the suppression of Christianity in Sabbas' area. When his agents came to the village where Sabbas lived they forced the villagers to eat pagan sacrificial meat. According to the tale, non-Christian villagers wanting to help their Christian neighbours tricked the authorities by exchanging the sacrificial meat for meat that had not been sacrificed. However, Sabbas made a conspicuous show of rejecting the defiled meat altogether. His fellow villagers exiled him but after a while he was allowed to return. When the Gothic noble returned and asked if there were any Christians in the village, Sabbas stepped forward and proclaimed, “'Let no-one swear an oath on my behalf. I am a Christian.” Sabbas' neighbours then said that he was a poor man of no account. The leader dismissed him, saying, “This one can do us neither good nor harm.”

Vlade Divac (Serbian: Владе Дивац, pronounced [ʋlǎːde dǐːʋats]) (born February 3, 1968 in Prijepolje, Serbia, Yugoslavia) is a retired Yugoslav and Serbian professional basketball player who spent most of his career in the NBA. At 7 ft 1 in, he played center and was known for his passing skills. Divac was among the first group of European basketball players to transfer to the NBA in the late 1980s and was named as one of the 50 Greatest Euroleague Contributors. Divac is one of six players in NBA history to record 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocked shots, along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Hakeem Olajuwon. (The NBA hasn't always kept track of blocked shots, so some other players, such as Bill Russell, probably also had similar career achievements.) Divac is also the only NBA player born and trained outside of the United States to play in over 1,000 games in the NBA. On August 20, 2010, Divac was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in recognition of his play in international competition.

Sava Dobroplodni (Bulgarian: Сава Доброплодни; 3 December 1820–19 April 1894), born Sava Hadzhiiliev (Сава Хаджиилиев), was a Bulgarian writer, teacher and theatrical worker of the Bulgarian National Revival and an honorary member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

Dobroplodni was born in the Bulgarian town of Sliven. He began his education in Kotel, but graduated from the Phanar Greek Orthodox College in Istanbul. Upon graduating he became a teacher and served in many towns around the country, including Kotel, Shumen, Sliven, Varna, Tulcea and Silistra. During the Crimean War of 1853–1856, Dobroplodni briefly worked as a Greek-language teacher in the Austrian Empire, more specifically at the Sremski Karlovci high school. After he returned to the Bulgarian lands, he initiated the foundation of the cultural centre (chitalishte) in Shumen and the staging of the comedy play Mihal the Mouse-Eater in 1856. The staging of Mihal the Mouse-Eater was the first organized theatrical performance in Bulgaria.[1]
