Life
Holy Hieromartyr Peter Ogryzenko (in Polish spelling Piotr Ohryzko) was a priest of the Orthodox Church and received the crown of martyrdom in 1944, during the war, in the Chełm region of Poland.
On 8 June 2003 the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Poland numbered him among the seven clerics glorified together with the priests Paul Szwajko and Nicholas Holz and others, and with all who suffered for the faith with them. The Russian Church has him in the Synaxis of the Saints of Volhynia; the Ukrainian Church counts him among the holy hieromartyrs. The Greek synaxarion commemorates the martyrs of Poland on the Sunday between 1 and 7 June.
