Life

Holy New Martyr Vidosava Luburić was born in 1930 into the Luburić family of Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro. In June 1943 she was twelve or thirteen and was in the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol, with twelve other Luburići and the rest of the group of forty-⁠six.

Soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" shut them all in the hut and set it on fire. Of her family, among others, Novka, Sara, Mileva, Ljubica, Danilo, Jovan and Obrad suffered; the remains were buried in a common grave at the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

The martyrs of Piva were glorified by the Serbian Orthodox Church on 24 May 2017 and are commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
