Life

Holy Martyr Xenia Radun was born in 1875 in the Chernigov province. Her full name was Xenia Mikhailovna Radun. In 1940 she was arrested and sentenced to five years in the camps.

In 1942, in the Akmolinsk section of Karlag in Kazakhstan, where she was serving her term, Xenia Mikhailovna was arrested again, in the group case of the Venerable Martyr Evdokia (Andrianova), and on 20 April she was sentenced to death. Soon the sentence was carried out.

She was numbered among the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Jubilee Council of Bishops in 2000, for veneration throughout the Church. She is commemorated on 7 February, with the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, in the new style.
