The Serbian Orthodox Church celebrates the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke on October 18 (according to the Julian calendar), that is, on October 31 according to the Gregorian calendar.

The holy apostle and evangelist Luke was a physician and friend of the apostle Paul.

He is thought to have been a Greek, a native of Antioch. Tradition claims that he was engaged in painting and that he was the first to paint icons of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and the apostles Peter and Paul. Those icons were the model for all later icons, which is why Saint Luke is considered the founder of Christian iconography.

In the 4th century, the place where the venerable relics of St. Luke rested became especially famous, because of the healing that took place from them, especially healing from eye diseases. Having learned about this, Emperor Constantius sent the governor of Egypt, Artemius, to transfer the relics of Saint Luke to the capital, which would be done very solemnly.

In 1453, Djuradj Brankovic transferred the relics of the Apostle Luke to Smederevo, from where they were taken to Bosnia in 1459, and then to Dubrovnik in 1463, and then to Venice. Today, the relics are in the church of St. Nicholas in Padova, and on July 31, 2018, a part of the relic was received by the church of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke in Subjelo, Kosjerić municipality, during the ministry of priest Vladimir Vuleta. Part of these relics was transferred to Subjel from the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Lešje Monastery, near Paraćin.
