Life

Holy New Martyr Miloš Luburić was born in 1941 into the Luburić family of Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro. In June 1943 he was a child of only two, among the youngest of the forty-⁠six dead of the group.

At Gojkovića Dol soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" shut the group into the hut of Obren Gojković and set it on fire. Thirteen of the Luburić kin suffered there, among them Novka (born 1885), Sara, Mileva, Momir, Danica and Radmilo; the remains were buried in a common grave beside the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017; they are commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
