Life

Holy Hieromartyr Michael Mansurov was a protopresbyter in the village of Kukmor, in the Mamadysh district, and was killed in 1918, at the age of 64.

He was born in 1852; he was a church reader from 1871, a deacon from 1876 and a priest from 1884. In 1909 he was dean of all the Edinoverie churches of the Kazan eparchy. The date and circumstances of his killing are not known: the list of the martyrs of 1918 says only that he was killed that autumn, in the village of Kukmor.

He is honoured in the Synaxis of the Saints of Kazan, on 4 October by the old calendar (17 October by the new).
