Life

Holy New Martyr Vule Adžić was born in 1939 into the Adžić family of Plužine, in the Piva region of Montenegro. In June 1943 he was a child of four, one of the twenty-⁠nine children among the forty-⁠six people who suffered together.

Like Saint Jaglika, Grozdana, Nenad and the others of the Adžić kin, he was shut by soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" into the hut of Obren Gojković and burned there. The remains of the dead were gathered by the people of Piva and buried before the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017. Vule is commemorated on 24 May in the old style, which is 6 June in the new.
