Serbs from the Herzegovinian village of Oplicici, municipality of Capljina, in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are scattered around the world today, are trying to rebuild the Temple of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God, which was mined and demolished at the beginning of the 1992 war. This village was severely damaged in the Second World War and during the civil war in BiH from 1992 to 1995. The clearing of the ruins of the temple began in 2006, as well as the cleaning and arrangement of the cemetery, which was also demolished. The school building next to the church, where services are held and Serbs from Oplicic gather, was partially renovated in 2012. The glory of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God is St. Paul's Day, July 13, when the largest number of locals gather in this village. During the cleaning of the ruins of the temple, several church relics, books and objects were found that speak of the turbulent and rich history of the Herzegovinian Serbs. According to the legend, the Church of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God in Opličići is the endowment of the Serbian medieval noble family of Hrabren-Miloradović. The church was built on the land of the monastery of the Most Holy Mother of God. At this place even today there is a "Peter's Cross", so the whole plateau around the church and the spring next to the church are called - Petrovnik. Throughout history, the church has been demolished and rebuilt several times ...
