Life

Holy New Martyr Stephen Babulewicz was an Orthodox believer of the village of Wólka Wygonowska in Podlasie, Poland, killed in 1946.

He was killed in 1946, in the same winter of violence by the soldiers of Romuald Rajs's unit, known as "Bury", against Orthodox villages in the Hajnówka and Bielsk Podlaski area. The sources keep only his name and village.

He is among the 79 Podlasie martyrs proclaimed on 25 July 2020 at the monastery of Zaleszany. They are remembered on the last Saturday of July.
