Priest Ioann Mikhailovich Lazarev was born in 1876 in the village of Kurmysh, Nizhny Novgorod province. He served in the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Nizhny Novgorod. In August 1937, Father Ioann was arrested. On September 21, the verdict was announced – the highest measure of punishment. Soon the holy martyr was executed by shooting. Father Ioann Lazarev was glorified in the rank of saints at the Jubilee Archpastoral Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000.
