A monk of a monastery from the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Alapaevsk died in the warzone over the weekend.

Monk Terenty (Dmitriev) of the Monastery of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church volunteered to go to the front, where he helped evacuate the wounded from the battlefield.

He was doing this work when his car was hit by artillary fire on Saturday, October 7, reports Patriarchia.ru.

Fr. Terenty went to the Donbass as soon as the war began, writes Orthodox activist Oksana Ivanova. “He was very worried about the children. He asked for help with books in Russian, and of course, he asked for prayer. He was a very kind person.”
