Tatiana Chekmazova

Holy Venerable Martyr Tatiana Chekmazova, a novice, was born in 1881. She dedicated her life to God and became a novice in one of the monasteries, though which one is not known at present.

The godless authorities, who had raised a cruel persecution against the faithful children of the Orthodox Church, shot the novice Tatiana on 11 October 1942. By a decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church of 11 April 2006 she was numbered among the saints as a New Martyr.

She is commemorated on 11 October, on 7 February (a movable date) in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, and on 5 September (a movable date) in the Synaxis of the Saints of Moscow, all in the new style.
