Life

Holy New Martyr Stana Adžić was born in 1909 and belonged to the Adžić family of Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro. Her name stands in the list of the forty-⁠six people who suffered together in June 1943.

With the others of her village, many of them children and old people, she was shut by soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" into the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol, after which the hut was burned. The remains of those burned were gathered by the people of Piva and 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. Saint Stana is commemorated on 24 May in the old style, which is 6 June in the new.
