(artist V.Lipovac) Blessed Ozana was born in 1493 in what is now Montenegro. She used to have visions even as a girl; in 1515 she joined the Dominican Order and then spent 50 years in strict penitence, yet while living almost like a hermit in a small cell, she participated in the city life; thus, she preached to the people, strongly encouraging them to protect Kotor against the Turks (when Turkish admiral Hairuddin Barbarossa attacked the city with the force of 70 ships and over 30,000 force in 1539). Also, she protected civil piece in Kotor by settling a conflict between the citizens and the city nobles. Together with St.Tryphon, she's considered to be the patron saint of Kotor. Her sarcophagus, also decorated with scenes of her life, is within the church..
