Life

Holy Hieromartyr Nicholas Silin was a priest in the village of Teseyevskoye, in the Kansk district of the Yenisei province, and was shot by the Bolsheviks in March 1919, according to the Azbyka page.

The Azbyka page says only that he was born in 1886, that he served in the church of the village of Teseyevskoye, and that the Bolsheviks arrested and shot him. The year of death is given on the page as 1919, with a confusing qualification ("not earlier than 1931"). He is remembered on 7 February (a movable day), in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, in the new style.
