Holy Martyr Teodor Komogovinski (also known as Saint Theodore of Komogovo; Template:Lang-sr) was born in a village in Kukuruzari into a humble family named Sladic. As a young man he went with a monk from Komogovina Monastery (which is near his birthplace in Kukuruzari) to Mostanica Monastery near Kozarska Dubica (in Bosnia). This Christ's martyr undertook an austere life both at Komogovina Monastery and Mostanica Monastery. When the Turks burned Mostanica Monastery, they killed many monks, as well as a large number of Serbs from surrounding villages.
Martyrdom
Ascetic Theodor was ordered to give up his belief in Jesus Christ, but he refused. The Turks burned him alive. His body burned, but with God's miracle, his right hand has been kept, and has been exempted both from the fire and degradation. This was the first sign of the holiness of this martyr.
Holy relic
The saved hand was moved to Komogovina Monastery, where it was by the beginning of the World War II . During the war it was moved many times, and by the end of the World War II it was found at St. Nicholas Church in Karlovac, where it remained until 1955 when it was returned to Kostajnica for safety reasons. During holidays and prayer days, the Holy hand was carried over to Komogovina Monastery so that faithful people could bow to this martyr.
Recognition as a martyr
The Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church on 20 May 1966 under AS number 28, record 44 took a decision: "Insert into the list of all Serbs holy martyrs for faith and St. Theodor (Sladic) martyr from Komogovina, therewith to be mentioned on the day of Theodor's Saturday."
He is remembered on Theodore's Saturday.
