Life

Holy Hieromartyr Alexander Shishin was a priest and received the crown of martyrdom in the persecution of the twentieth century. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church commemorates him on 30 September, among the new martyrs.

The calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the only source consulted, gives just the name, the rank of priest and hieromartyr, the day 30 September (in the old style used by that Church's calendar) and the fact that he belongs to the new martyrs; no years or details of his life or death survive.

Commemorated the same day September 30
