Presbyter
Saint Nicholas was born on May 7, 1876, in the village of Voinova Gora, Vladimir Province, in the family of priest Konstantin Krasovsky. After graduating from the Vladimir Theological Seminary, he worked as a teacher until 1914. With the onset of World War I, Nicholas Konstantinovich served as a paramedic. After the war, he returned to teaching, but in 1922 the church was closed, and he was dismissed for refusing to participate in sacrilegious acts. In 1924, he was ordained as a deacon, and in 1932 — as a priest. He lived a chaste life, spending time in prayer and asceticism. In 1938, he was arrested and accused of anti-Soviet agitation, which he denied. On January 25, 1938, the NKVD troika sentenced him to execution. He was shot on January 31, 1938, and buried in an unmarked grave at the Butovo firing range near Moscow.
