Монахиня Варсонофия (Морозова) - о жизни старца архимандрита Ермогена, в схиме Тихона, (Муртазова)

We continue our video series "Unholy Saints. Our Days." In episode 20, Nun Varsonofia (Morozova), a resident of the Snetogorsk Monastery in Pskov, talks about Elder Archimandrite Hermogen, in Schema Tikhon (Murtazov). Matushka served as Father Hermogen's cell attendant for several years and retains many warm memories of the elder. Alexander Ivanovich Murtazov was born in 1935 in a village near the city of Chistopol (Tatarstan) to a religious family. After finishing school, he served for two years in Baku (Azerbaijan) in the anti-aircraft artillery. He then entered the Saratov Theological Seminary, where he studied from 1957 to 1960. Father Ermogen was ordained a priest in 1959, after which he served for a year in the parish of Mamadysh, Tatarstan. He studied at the Theological Academy of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius from 1962 to 1965, receiving a candidate's degree in theology. From 1965 to 1992, he lived in the Pyukhtitsa Monastery in Estonia, where he received monastic vows in 1978, receiving the name in honor of St. Hermogen, Patriarch of Moscow. After 1992, he moved to Pechory, and in 1994 to the Snetogorsk Convent, where he served as the monastery's spiritual father. Archimandrite Ermogen departed to the Lord in 2018 and, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, was buried in the caves of the Pskov-Pechersky Monastery.
