Sažetak
The paper deals with the way the death of a historical figure (from the Ottoman times) is locally perceived as a heroic death, and with the way this death is narratively transferred into a religious register, as a martyr's death. The memory of the event in which the hero/martyr died is situationally revived in the local landscape. The figure and his death are thus expressed in religious terms and practices, transforming the grave of the deceased into a sacred place. The memory of the death and the place where the historical figure died are constitutive in shaping individual religious lifes, as well as in maintaining the sociability and cohesion of the local community. The paper is based on ethnographic research into the non-institutional sacralization of persons and places.
