Lucian the Hieromartyr

Lucian the Hieromartyr is a Ukrainian hieromartyr who died in the year 1243. The sources we have do not preserve details of his life; we know only that he received the crown of martyrdom in the thirteenth century, in a time of great hardship for the Rus lands, in the years after the Mongol invasion.

The Church honours him as a hieromartyr, that is, as a servant of the altar who suffered for Christ.
