Saint Alexander Petrovich Elohovsky was born in 1858 in the village of Ryazanino, Spaso-Yaryzhetskaya volost, Yaroslavl district of Yaroslavl province. He was a priest of the church in his native village. On August 25, 1918, he was arrested and accused of 'anti-Soviet agitation.' He was likely repressed in connection with the Yaroslavl uprising in July 1918. On September 3, 1918, Priest Alexander Elohovsky was shot. His probable burial place is a mass grave at Leontievsky cemetery.
