Life
Holy Hieromartyr Philip Shatov, an archpriest, was a teacher at the missionary school in the Cossack settlement of Sarkand, in the Kopal district of the Semirechye region. In 1918 the Bolsheviks who occupied the village locked him in the school building and set it on fire, burning him alive. The charred remains of the priest were found later and buried.
He was numbered among the saints by the Jubilee Council of Bishops of the Russian Church in the year 2000. He is commemorated on 16 September.
