John Shvetsov

Holy Hieromartyr John Shvetsov († 1918) was protopresbyter of the church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the village of Serginskoe, Perm district, Perm province. At the end of 1918, after torments and mockery, he was shot by Red soldiers. He was numbered among the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Council of Bishops of the Russian Church in August 2000, for veneration throughout the Church. The Azbyka page gives no further details. The Church commemorates him on the movable day of the synaxis of the new martyrs and on the movable day of the Synaxis of the Saints of Perm.
