On October 30, at the site of mass graves of those repressed, at the engine plant (next to the house on Lokomotivnaya Street, 1) a memorial service will be held. Residents of the city and representatives of the Orthodox youth movement of Simbirsk are invited to honor the memory of the murdered clergy.

The funeral service begins at 12:00.

According to the research of Archpriest Vladimir Dmitriev, a priest studying the history of the Simbirsk necropolises, the area at the end of Kirov Street behind the bridge over the railway, near the engine plant, became the burial place of more than 1,000 people. Among them are the holy martyr Alexander Telemakov, presbyter, and the venerable martyr Catherine (Decalina).
