His memory is celebrated on April 24 because of his namesake, the Holy Martyr Sabbas Stratelates. The memory of St Sava is also celebrated on the Synaxis of the Monastic Fathers of the Near Caves (September 28), and on the Synaxis of all the Wonderworkers of the Kiev Caves (Second Sunday of Great Lent).

Богатство благодати и сыноположения стяжаете/ многими подвиги и добродетельми,/ ихже ради Христос всели души ваша/ в Небесныя селения Своя,/ даровав благодать нетления/ и чудес мощем вашим,/ сего ради вопием вам:/ радуйтеся, Савво и Алексие,/ ликов иноческих похвале и украшение.
