Marica Sočica

Holy New Martyr Marica Sočica was the wife of Father Jovan Sočica, the protopresbyter of Piva in Montenegro. In June 1943, in the days of the massacre of Piva, the priest was burned alive, and with him there suffered his wife Marica, their daughter-⁠in-⁠law Vukosava and four small grandchildren: Ratko, seven years old, Marija, six, Rado, four, and Joko, only two.

Father Jovan Sočica was the priest who baptized Saint Jaglika. His family was killed by the SS troops "Prinz Eugen" and "Handschar", who between 6 and 12 June 1943 killed nearly twelve hundred people of Piva. The source does not say where exactly they were burned.

The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017. Saint Marica is commemorated on 24 May in the old style, which is 6 June in the new.
