Saint Gavrilo Lesnovski came, according to his detailed Vita, from a rich family in Osečko pole (ōt strani Ōsečkōmъ pole, roditelemь bogatu sělo i blagočestivu). After a vision he built a Church of the Nativity of the Holy Mother of God with the funding of his parents on the field of Osiče (na pole Ōsiče). The secondary literature identifies Osečko pole with the current village of Osiče. The expression "pole" ("polje"), which means "field", "open area" or "plain", might indicate that Osiče was a scattered settlement.
