Twelve New Hieromartyr Priests of 1937

The Twelve New Hieromartyr Priests of 1937 are commemorated together on September 10 as a group of Orthodox priests who were put to death during the Soviet persecution of the Church in 1937. They are numbered among the Synaxis of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia, the body of clergy, monastics, and laypeople who suffered for the faith under the Soviet state in the twentieth century.

Their commemoration falls within the height of what is often called the Great Terror, when arrests and executions of churchmen reached their peak. The year 1937 in particular saw enormous numbers of clergy detained and shot, frequently on charges framed in political rather than religious terms. The September 10 calendar of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia records this group of priests alongside other clergy and lay martyrs of the same period.

Because the commemoration gathers these priests as a collective, the database keeps them in a single entry rather than as separate rows. Detailed and reliably attested biographies of each individual are limited, and care is taken here not to assert particulars beyond what the sources support; the entry preserves the group's shared identity as priests martyred in 1937 and their place within the wider Synaxis of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.
