Cvijeta Sočica

Holy New Martyr Cvijeta Sočica was born in 1914 into the Sočica family of Piva, in Montenegro. In June 1943 she was nearly thirty and was in the group of forty-⁠six people of Plužine, many of them children, who suffered together.

Of her kin there were also in that group Tomana (born 1890), Anđa (1935), Bosiljka (1937), Radojka (1938) and Stevan (1940). Soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" shut them into the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol and set it on fire. The remains were buried in a common grave beside the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017, and Cvijeta is commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
