Dear colleagues,

I'm looking for the correct spelling of the name of a saint who was
apparently frequently depicted in icons or paintings in
Greek-Catholic/Uniate churches in Lemko communities around the  Beskid
Niski mountain region of southeastern Poland.  The Polish text I'm working
with has the name in the genitive as "swietego Dymitra," and I'm just not
sure about the ending. Should it be -tr? -tro?

If anyone has suggestions on this, I would be grateful!
