Daria Ulybina

Holy Martyr Daria Ulybina was the cell-⁠attendant of Saint Evdokia Sheikova in the village of Puza, now Suvorovo, in the Nizhny Novgorod province, and received a martyr's death on 18 August 1919, together with her teacher and two other novices. From 1916 she laboured beside her paralysed teacher, distinguished by humility and piety. She is commemorated on 7 February, in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, on 5 June, at the finding of the relics, on 27 June, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Diveyevo, on 18 August and on 12 September, in the Synaxis of the Saints of Nizhny Novgorod.

She was born at the end of the 1870s. When Evdokia was condemned, on 18 August 1919, on a false charge of harbouring a deserter and agitating, Daria chose of her own will to share her fate, together with Daria Timagina and Maria. She was shot on the same day, at the village cemetery. Before her death she communed, with the other martyrs, from the priest of the Dormition church in Puza, Father Vasily Radugin. She was glorified by the Jubilee Council of Bishops in 2000. In 2001 the relics of the martyrs of Nizhny Novgorod were uncovered and now rest in the Dormition church in Suvorovo.
