Euthymius Krugovykh

Holy Hieromartyr Euthymius Krugovykh, a priest, served at Verny, today Almaty, in Kazakhstan, and was hanged in 1924 at the monastery farmstead near the settlement of Zarya Vostoka, together with four martyrs. The Russian Church numbered him among the saints at the Council of Bishops in the year 2000.

Euthymius Georgievich Krugovykh first served as psalm-⁠reader at the Presentation cathedral, then was ordained second priest at the church of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God in the city of Verny. He was a steadfast fighter against Renovationism. He was hanged in 1924 at the monastery farmstead near the settlement of Zarya Vostoka, today within Almaty, with four other martyrs, because he remained faithful to Patriarch Tikhon. The place where those tortured were buried is not known. The priest-⁠martyr Euthymius and the four martyrs were glorified in the year 2000 by the Jubilee Council of Bishops of the Russian Church.

He is commemorated on 16 September and on 7 February in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church (new style).
