Evgeny in Russia

Today we celebrate the martyrdom of the New-martyr Evgeny Rodionov (+1996). Although not officially canonised, at eighteen years of age, New Martyr Evgeny was drafted into the Russian armed forces as was required for all Russian men. Shortly before being drafted, he was baptised into the Orthodox Church on his own accord, as his parents were atheist. About a year into his military service, Evgeny was captured by Muslim Chechnyan soldiers and was forced to remove the cross he was wearing around his neck - the cross which his grandmother gave him as an eleven year old child which he never took off, despite his atheist parents' pleas as it was frowned upon in schools. The martyr Evgeny was tortured for three months by the soldiers. While his friends who were also captured denied their faith and accepted Islam, Evgeny remained firm in his faith. Eventually they decided to behead him with a rusty saw which took over an hour to complete. His body was later identified by his mother only because of the cross he was still wearing. Evgeny was martyred on this day in 1996 on his 19th birthday. Proof of his sanctity is that his icon in Russia began weeping myrrh which has become a source of healing for many. May he intercede for us all + #saint #evgeny #rodionov #evgenyrodinov #martyr #newmartyr #russia #chechnya #cross #islam #crucifix #faith #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Sernovodskoye, Chechen Republic) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd39fxCPoTN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
