Presbyter
Sergey Alexandrovich Uvitsky was born in 1881 in the village of Khlebnikovo, Vyatka province, in a teacher's family. He received his education at the Kazan Spiritual Academy and taught at the Mogilev Spiritual Seminary. On August 1, 1908, he was ordained as a priest. In 1920, he was arrested and sentenced to indefinite imprisonment in a concentration camp, but was released a few years later under amnesty. After leaving the camp, he continued his priestly service and was ordained as a protodeacon in 1925. He received denunciations that indicated the anti-Soviet nature of his sermons, in which he spoke about the disruption of family relationships and the loss of Christian morals. As a result, he was sentenced to 5 years in camps. In 1931, he was transferred to BelBaltLag for the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal. His wife was able to see him only once, and that meeting became the last. The holy martyr Sergey Uvitsky passed away in the camp on March 12, 1932.
