Lucian Fedotov

Saint Lucian Petrovich Fedotov, hieromartyr, was a priest in the Kharkiv diocese and received the martyr's death by shooting on 17 January 1938, during the Soviet persecution. He is venerated as a local saint of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and commemorated on 19 May.

He was born on 13 October 1895 in the town of Izium, Kharkiv governorate. He was ordained in 1920, and in 1924 he graduated from the theological school in Kyiv. He served at the cemetery church in Izium. He was arrested on 15 October 1937 and sentenced to death. He was shot on 17 January 1938 in Kharkiv.

On 22 June 1993 the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church decided on his local canonization in the Kharkiv diocese, in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Sloboda land. The service of glorification took place on 3 and 4 July 1993 in the Annunciation cathedral of Kharkiv, during the visit of Metropolitan Volodymyr of Kyiv and all Ukraine.

His canonization is local and not that of the whole Orthodox Church.
