Helena Mühlmanová

Holy New Martyr Helena Mühlmanová, née Navrátilová, was born on 4 August 1889 in Kroměříž. Her first marriage, to Čeněk Ort, took her to Kyiv, where she bore two sons, Vladimír and Jiří. After her husband's death in 1917 she returned to Bohemia with her children and married a second time, to Vladimír Mühlman. She lived in Prague, in the Vinohrady district, as a housewife and a volunteer nurse of the Czechoslovak Red Cross.

Through Jan Sonnevend, chairman of the Orthodox council of elders in Prague, she joined the resistance and the secret network that supported the paratroopers. After the discovery of the hiding place in the church of Saints Cyril and Methodius she was arrested on 29 June 1942, held at Pankrác and Terezín and taken to Mauthausen, where she was killed on 24 October 1942. Her son Vladimír died there the same day.

The Synod of the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia decided on 10 October 2019 to enter them among the saints, and the solemn glorification took place on 8 February 2020 at the Cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Prague, together with the other new martyrs of those years. They are remembered on 5 September.
