Every weekday, Monday to Friday, a program "New Martyr of the Day" is aired to commemorate those who fell victim to the greatest persecution of the Church in the history of Russia and who gave their lives for their faith and Christ.

The program is broadcast by a huge Orthodox SPAS TV company with federal outreach. Each film of the series contains a story featuring one of the New Martyrs – a group of saints of the Russian Orthodox Church martyred or persecuted for Christ after the October Revolution of 1917.

The documentary project of the "Spas" TV channel tells about the lives and trials of Christians who suffered for their faith during the period of post-revolutionary persecution of the Church - those whom we now know as the new martyrs and confessors of Russia.

New Martyrs are the saints of our time, someone, without whom we would simply not exist. In 2000, the All-Russian Council canonized Tsar Nicholas II and his family, as well as many other New Martyrs. More names continue to be added to list of New Martyrs, after the Synodal Canonization Commission completes its investigation of each case.
