Life

Holy Hieromartyr Gennady Zdorovtsev, a priest, was born in 1868 in the family of a servant of the Church and died shot on 5 July 1918, in unknown circumstances.

In 1888 he finished the Yaroslavl seminary and served in the churches of the Lyubim district until 1907, when he was moved to the cathedral in Yaroslavl. In 1914 he became rector of the church of Saint Vladimir in the city of Yaroslavl. The conscientious service of Father Gennady was several times rewarded with distinctions. He served at the Saint Vladimir church until his martyr's end. He was shot on 5 July 1918, in unknown circumstances. The Azbyka page gives for him the days 5 June and 18 July.
