Our father among the [[saint]]s [[Bishop]] '''Gorazd (Pavlik) of Prague''' was the [[hierarch]] of the revived Orthodox Church in Moravia, the Church of Czechoslovakia, after World War I. During World War II, having provided refuge for the assassins of SS-Obergruppenfuher Reinhard Heydrich, called ''The Butcher of Prague'', in the [[cathedral]] of [[Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral (Prague, Czech Republic)|Ss. Cyril and Methodius]] in Prague, St. Gorazd took full responsibility for protecting the patriots after the Nazi overlords found them in the crypt of the [[cathedral]]. This act guaranteed his execution, thus his [[martyr]]dom, during the reprisals that followed. His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[August 22]] (OC) or [[September 4]](NC).
