Presbyter
Priest Peter Zephyrov was born in 1879 in the Yaroslavl province. After graduating from the Yaroslavl Theological Seminary, he worked for three years as a teacher in a church-parochial school, then got married and was ordained as a priest to the Nikolskaya Church in the village of Nikolona-Edome. He and his wife had six children. At the same time as serving in the parish, Father Peter was the head and law teacher at the local church-parochial school and a law teacher at the Vaulevskaya zemstvo school. In 1909, he was elected a member of the deanery council.
In July 1918, Priest Peter Zephyrov was arrested by the Bolsheviks and shot in the Romano-Borisoglebsk prison. Information about his execution was sent to the Commission for the Persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church, established at the Holy Council of 1917-1918, which began to collect testimonies about the new martyrs.
