Saint

Saint Stephen Shchilyanovich was born into a pious Christian family in the Serbian town of Zupa. Defending his homeland from Turkish invasions, he served in the military. During times of famine, Stephen distributed his bread to the hungry. His activities were connected with a truly Christian life, demonstrating mercy, purity, prayer, faith, and love for his neighbors. The saint departed to the Lord on October 4, 1515. After his death, the Turks dug up his grave, found his incorrupt body, and the Serbian monks redeemed his relics, transferring them to the Shishatovac Monastery on Fruška Gora.

The Serbian Church prays to him: "Glory in battles, warrior Stephen Shchilyanovich, great intercessor for those who come to you with faith."
