Life

Holy Hieromartyr Dobrosav (Blažević) of Donji Vakuf was born in 1916 at Visoko. He finished primary school in his birthplace and the seminary in Sarajevo, and in 1939 was ordained deacon and priest in Sarajevo and sent to the parish of Donji Vakuf. In June 1941 he was seized by the Ustaše; they led him through the streets in chains, tied to a cart, and killed him cruelly on the road to Bugojno. His body was never found.

He is among the new martyrs of Dabar-⁠Bosnia and Mileševa, numbered among the saints by the Serbian Orthodox Church. His commemoration is on 5 July, old style (18 July, new style).
