Presbyter
Saint Georgy Alexandrovich Troitsky was born in 1873 in the village of Darishi, Kolomensky district of the Moscow province. He graduated from the Moscow Theological Seminary and served in the church-parish school of the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery. In 1898, he was ordained as a priest. From 1903, he served in the Spassky Church of the village of Ray-Semenovskoye, where he was the last rector before the church was closed in 1930. In 1929, the villagers decided to close the church, which led to a ban on Father Georgy visiting the parishioners. On Christmas Day in 1930, he informed the faithful about rumors of the church's closure, for which he was arrested on February 2, 1930, and imprisoned in the Serpukhov corrective labor house. On February 23, 1930, he was sentenced to three years of exile in the Northern Territory. After being transported in August 1930, he settled in the village of Ust, where he experienced need and hardships. On August 6, 1931, he fell ill and passed away on October 29, 1931, presumably from typhoid fever. He was buried in the village of Ust, where the priest Alexander Derzhaev took care of his burial.
