Life

Tatiana was the wife of Priest Mitrophan Ji, aged 44. She was killed on 11 June 1900 (old style; 24 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising, at the Andingmen gate. Priest Mitrophan Ji, the first Chinese Orthodox priest, ordained by Saint Nicholas of Japan, was killed with his flock. According to Piperakis' synaxarion, Tatiana and their son Isaiah were slaughtered before his eyes.

Her name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China, on the testimony of relatives, neighbours and witnesses. No other details about her are preserved.
