Pavel Parfenov
Martyr
Pavel Nikitich Parfyonov was the church warden of the Mitinsk church and engaged in trade. In his house in the village of Loshchino, a church was opened. He showed kindness to the poor, forgiving their debts and giving candies to children. In the autumn of 1918, an uprising against the Soviet authority occurred in Kasimov, and the peasants did not participate in it. However, a detachment of executioners arrived, wanting to shoot the people. The chairman of the Soviet proved that the Loshchin residents did not rebel, but Parfyonov was shot. In his shop, where he performed good deeds, services are held, just as in the Mitinsk church, where he was the warden.
