New Hieromartyr Archpriest '''Peter Skipetrov''' (†1918{{ru icon}}: Пётр Иванович Скипетров, July, 1863 - January 19, 1918) was the rector of the Church of Saints [[Boris and Gleb]], which was next to the famous chapel of the [[Theotokos]] "Joy of All Who Sorrow", in the Kalashnikov district of Petrograd.<ref group="note">In 1914 the name of the city was changed to Petrograd; in 1924 to Leningrad; and in 1991 back to Saint Petersburg.</ref> Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims flocked to the miracle-working [[icon]] of the [[Mother of God]], and Father Peter enjoyed great influence among the people and was a strong enemy of the communists, whose regime he boldly denounced in his [[Homily|sermons]]. He was martyred in 1918 at the time of the Russian Revolution by Bolshevik-affiliated soldiers. He is commemorated on [[February 1]].<ref>[http://www.holytrinityorthodox.com/calendar/index.php?year=2011&today=14&month=2&trp=0&tzo=-5 February 14 / February 1].

The [[Memorial Services|burial service]] was led by Metropolitan Benjamin, accompanied by a large number of clergy. The sermon was delivered by Fr. Philosoph (Ornatsky).
