On the night of 16/17 July 1918, the holy Tsar Nicholas II, together with his Empress, children, and faithful servants, were martyred by the bolsheviks in the Ipatiev House at Yekaterinburg. That structure was deliberately demolished in 1977 to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the bolshevik revolution. In it's place now stands the Cathedral on the Blood, an Orthodox shrine to the Royal Martyrs.
Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer, pray for us.
