Life
Marko Prodanović († 1941) was a graduate of the theological seminary and was killed by the Ustaše on 26 June 1941, together with the monks of the Žitomislić Monastery, in Herzegovina. He was canonized as a holy martyr by the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church on 23 May 2022; he is commemorated on 13 June (26 June by the new calendar), together with the other martyrs of Žitomislić.
He stands in the list of martyrs, beside Branko Bilanović, as a "seminary graduate." With Abbot Konstantin Vučurević, the hieromonks Dositej and Makarije, the novice Mladen Šaren and the protodeacon Vladimir Čejović he was tortured on 26 June 1941; because he did not renounce the Orthodox faith, the executioners threw him alive into a ravine and covered him with stones. No other details of his life are known.
