Marica Gojković

Holy New Martyr Marica Gojković was born in 1898 and lived at Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro. Her name is among the seven of the Gojković kin (Novka, Ivan, Milica, another Milica, Novak, Vida and Marica) who suffered in June 1943 in the group of forty-⁠six people of Plužine.

The group had first been held in a house in the village and was let go by an officer of the Wehrmacht. They went to the huts at Gojkovića Dol, and in the morning were found by soldiers of the SS division "Handschar", who shut them into the hut of Obren Gojković and set it on fire. The remains were buried in a common grave at the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

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.
