In an interview, Abramović described her family as having been "Red bourgeoisie."[4] Her great-uncle was Varnava, Serbian Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[5] Both of her parents, Danica Rosić and Vojin Abramović[4] were Yugoslav Partisans[6] during the Second World War. After the war, Abramović's parents became "national heroes" and were given positions in the post-war Yugoslavian government.[4]

 

Abramović was raised by her grandparents until she was six years old.[7] Her grandmother was deeply religious and Abramović "spent [her] childhood in a church following [her] grandmother's rituals – candles in the morning, the priest coming for different occasions".

Marina Abramović was born in Belgrade, in the former Yugoslavia in 1946. "When I was born my mother, because she was making her political career, just gave me to my grandmother to take care of me. I didn't see my mother and father until I was six." Her parents were both staunch Communists and her grandmother was obsessively religious: "She was always going to the church. I spent my childhood in a church following my grandmother's rituals – candles in the morning, the priest coming for different occasions."

Varnava firmly resisted the introduction of legislation giving greater privileges to the Roman Catholic Church not in Yugoslavia in general, but in Serbia in particular (hence The Concordat Crisis). He maintained that these would certainly undermine positions of both the Serbian Orthodox church and those of other faiths in the country. He died unexpectedly during the night between July 23–24, 1937 when the Concordat legislation was carried into Parliament. The Holy Synod was also against government pro-Concordat policy, and the government was soon forced to withdraw this new legislation.

 

Many people believed[weasel words] that Patriarch Varnava was poisoned because of his struggle against Concordat, and his death is still unresolved.

 

He was the great-uncle of performance artist Marina Abramović.
