One of the new women martyrs of Piva in Montenegro, killed in 1943.
Life
Holy New Martyr Olga Ninošević was born in 1938 into the Ninošević family of Piva, in Montenegro. In June 1943 she was a little girl of five or six, one of the twenty-nine children among the forty-six martyrs of Plužine.
Six of her kin suffered then: Milica (born 1885), Sara (1906), Mileva (1937), Olga, Ratko (1939) and Svetozar (1940). Soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" shut them into the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol and set it on fire. The remains were buried before the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.
Olga is commemorated on 24 May in the old style, together with the other martyrs of Piva, glorified by the Serbian Orthodox Church on 24 May 2017.
