New Martyr
Dušan Adžić
A new martyr from the Piva region of Montenegro, killed in 1943.
Life
Holy New Martyr Dušan Adžić was born in 1938, the youngest of the sons of Krsto and Stoja Adžić of Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro, and was the brother of the Holy Martyr Jaglika. In June 1943 he was a child of about five.
With his parents and his brothers Milorad and Momčilo he was shut into the hut of Obren Gojković, which was burned. When the people of Piva found the remains, they saw that a larger skeleton was bent over a smaller one, and understood that his mother Stoja had covered her youngest son Dušan with her body in the last moments.
The martyrs of Piva were glorified on 24 May 2017 by the Serbian Orthodox Church and are commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
