New Hieromartyrs Priests Basil, Alexander, and Christopher, Martyrs Macarius and Sergius

Three Moscow parish priests — Basil Sokolov, Alexander Zaozersky and Christopher Nadezhdin — together with the hieromonk Macarius (Telegin) and the layman Sergius Tikhomirov were arrested in April 1922, during the Soviet campaign to seize church valuables in the famine. Condemned at the trial of Moscow clergy and laypeople that followed, they were shot in Moscow in 1922.
