Life
Holy Venerable Martyr Grigorije of Peć was a brother of the Patriarchate of Peć, the old see of the Serbian patriarchs in Kosovo and Metohija. He was killed by Albanians, under Ottoman rule, for his faith in Christ, at the end of the nineteenth century or at the dawn of the twentieth.
In May 2018 the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, meeting at the Patriarchate of Peć, canonized him as a hieromartyr, together with Vasilije, the baker of Peć, and Bosiljka Rajičić of the village of Pasjane. The canonization was proclaimed solemnly on 10 May 2018 in the Cathedral of Saint Sava in Belgrade. His feast is on 7 February, new style.
