Draft:Todor Palamarevic

Reverend Todor Palamarević (Serbian Cyrillic: Тодор Паламаревић) was a Serbian native of Skopska Crna Gora, where he graduated from Prizren's Theological-Teacher's College. After completing his schooling, he became a teacher in his area. Before the First Balkan War of 1912, he was already married and an ordained Serbian Orthodox priest. After liberation in 1913, due to the need for service, Priest Todor was transferred to the town of Kumanovo, where he received a parish and from the savings he had saved during his service, he bought a house and settled down with his family to live permanently in Kumanovo. He was a very good priest, a real shepherd of the people, and his work among the town folks here was exclusively priestly, so he did not hold a grudge against anyone. On 1 October 1915, the Bulgarians attacked the Serbia and on 6 October 1915 they entered Kumanovo. Father Todor, a very quiet and reserved man, stayed at his house, hoping that the short time he spent among the citizens in Kumanovo did not offend anyone. However, it was not like that, at first after the arrival of the Bulgarians, Todor Palamarević was taken away from his house and never heard of again. After the victorious Serbian Army defeated the invaders in 1918 and a military investigation took place, apparently nobody knew about Palamarević's fate, where, how and in what way he was executed. Todor Palamarević was one of many hundreds of Serbian priests executed in Macedonia during the Bulgarian occupation of the region from 1915 until 1918.
