Presbyter
Hieromartyr Amos Ivanovich Ivanov carried out his priestly ministry at the Intercession Church in the resettlement village of Vakhrushevo, Taseyevo Volost, Kansky Uyezd, Yenisei Governorate.
From early December 1918, the northeastern part of Kansky Uyezd was engulfed by an uprising of Red partisans. It is possible that Father Amos was killed by them. According to another version, the priest remained alive until the Bolsheviks fled from government troops in early summer 1919 and later became a victim of their reprisals against local residents when, in the autumn, the Bolsheviks launched a counteroffensive.
Hieromartyr Amos Ivanov was glorified among the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia in August 2000 at the Bishops’ Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Days of commemoration: June 28 (June 15 according to the old style calendar) and on the feast of the Synaxis of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church.
