Life
editHe was born in 1794 in the village of Proevce (now North Macedonia). He became a priest in 1818, then a protojerej (archpriest) in 1830, and finally an ikonom (churchwarden) of the Kumanovo district subordinate to the Metropolitan of Skopje (Patriarchate of Constantinople) in 1833.[1] He was commonly known as the "Old Churchwarden" (Стари иконом).[2]
In the period of 1847–51, the Church of St. Nicholas in Kumanovo was built by the ktitors: ikonom priest Dimitrije, Krsto Puto and his son Denko Krstić, priest Neša, Hadži-Stojilković, and the families of Rikačovci, Šapkalijanci, Borozani and Stojanćeajini.[3]
He was taken down from the position of ikonom in 1855 but returned to the office a year later.[4] In 1860 he and Denko Krstić were called to a hearing in Skopje by the Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasha Kibrizli, to be hanged, but paid for their release.[4] Later in 1871 he was called by the vali in Prizren for questioning of his "immoral lifestyle", allegedly a campaign of the Bulgarian Exarchate, but he was released under a plea of the local population of Kumanovo to the Vali.[5]
After the death of Dimitrije, Denko Krstić succeeded as the ikonom of Kumanovo.[6] His daughter Katerina married Hadži-Vasilje from Vranje, from which marriage the acclaimed historian and ethnographer Jovan Hadži-Vasiljević sprung.
