Parthenius Krasivsky

Holy Hieromartyr Parthenius Krasivsky, a priest, was the brother of the priest Vasily Krasivsky. Vasily served at the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Verny (now Alma-⁠Ata), and Parthenius at the church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the same city. In 1919, on a single day, both were killed by fighters of a Red detachment that burst into the city. Father Vasily was beaten, tied to the tail of a horse and dragged to death. Father Parthenius was burned on the porch of his church.

Saint Parthenius is commemorated on 16 September, and on 7 February (a movable date) in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, in the new style.
