Life
The holy hieromartyr Spasoje Begović was a priest and substitute teacher at the seminary at Cetinje, in Montenegro, and was killed in 1945 in Slovenia, together with Metropolitan Joanikije Lipovac. He studied at the Faculty of Theology in Belgrade, between 1927 and 1936. His commemoration belongs to the Synaxis of the Saints who taught and studied at the Theological School of Belgrade, whose celebration was ordered by Patriarch Porfirije in February 2024, pending the official decision.
The sources say no more than that he was a priest and substitute teacher at the Cetinje seminary and studied theology at Belgrade. He suffered among the Montenegrin priests killed in Slovenia, in 1945, together with the priest Luka Vukmanović. His file has not been preserved in the archives of the Metropolis.
