New Hieromartyr Euthymius Krygovich & Companions (1924)

Euthymius Krygovich was an Orthodox priest who was put to death in 1924, together with four others who suffered with him, during the Soviet persecution of the Church. He is numbered among the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia and is commemorated on September 3.

Almost nothing of his life survives in the available sources beyond the bare commemoration. The liturgical calendar records him simply as a hieromartyr, a priest who died for the faith, and notes that four further martyrs perished alongside him; the names and particular circumstances of these companions are not preserved in the accessible record.

His martyrdom falls within the wave of repression that followed the Bolshevik revolution, when many clergy, monastics, and lay faithful of the Russian Orthodox Church were imprisoned or killed. Like a great number of those commemorated in the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, he is honored collectively within that body even where an individual biography has not come down to us.
