Đorđe Bogić
Serbian saint (1911-1941)
Georgije Bogić (Cyrillic: Георгије Богић, a.k.a. Đorđe Bogić, Cyrillic: Ђорђе Богић and anglicized as George Bogic; 6 February 1911 – 17 June 1941) was a Serbian Orthodox protopresbyter and the parish priest of the Orthodox church in Našice; who was martyred by the Ustaše during the Second World War, for which he was canonized as Saint George of Slavonia (Serbian: Георгије Славонски, romanized: Georgije Slavonski), being recognised as a new martyr and hieromartyr.
Life
Georgije Bogić was born in Pakrac on 6 February 1911. He completed grammar school in Nova Gradiška and seminary in Sarajevo. On 25 May 1934, he was ordained as a priest in Pakrac. Bogić then performed his duties in the parishes of Majar and Bolmače, after which he was moved to Našice, where he happened to be at the beginning of World War II and the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia.
Torture and death
His afflictions were witnessed by Proko Prejnović, a Serb who hid from the Ustaše in a tree:
The Ustashas tied the priest to a tree before they began their atrocities. They cut off the priest's ears, his nose, and then his tongue. With relish and entirely senselessly, they pulled out his beard and the underlying skin. The poor, exhausted priest cried out of sheer pain.

Why this record matters
The phrase “serbian saint (1911-1941)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13566372. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1941 and 1934.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
