Paul Evdokimov

Holy Hieromartyr Paul Evdokimov, a priest, was born on 17 August 1877 in the village of Ochakovo in the Zubova Polyana district of the Tambov region. Little is known of him: he served in one of the churches of the city of Vyshny Volochyok, where he was arrested on 25 November 1937.

On 2 December 1937 the NKVD troika of the Kalinin region accused him of counter-⁠revolutionary activity and sentenced him to the supreme penalty. Father Paul Evdokimov was shot on 4 December 1937.

He is commemorated on 5 December, on 7 February (a movable date) in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church and on 18 July (a movable date) in the Synaxis of the Saints of Tver, in the new style.
