Once the life stories of the Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth obryvetsya. Many do not understand. I, with your permission, added:
Elizabeth Feodorovna refused to leave Russia after the Bolsheviks came to power. Spring of 1918 she was detained and deported from Moscow to Perm. In May 1918 it, together with other representatives of the Romanov dynasty was taken to Yekaterinburg and placed in hotel rooms Atamanovka (currently located in the building department of the FSB and the police department of the Sverdlovsk region, modern address - street intersection of Lenin and Weiner), and then two months later, the city Alapaevsk. Do not lose his presence of mind, in letters advising of the remaining sisters, willing to keep their love for God and neighbor. However, it was the sister of Martha and Maria monastery Varvara Yakovleva.
On the night of 5 (18) July 1918 Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna was killed by the Bolsheviks: dropped into the shaft New Selim, 18 km from Alapaevsk. With her death:
Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich;
Prince John Konstantinovich;
Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (Jr.);
Prince Igor Konstantinovich;
Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley;
Fedor Semenovich Remez, administrator of the Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich;
sister of Martha and Maria monastery Barbara (Yakovlev).
All but the shot of Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich, were thrown into the mine alive. When the bodies were extracted from the mine, it was discovered that some of the victims lived and after the fall, dying from hunger and wounds. This wound was Prince John, has fallen on the ledge near the shaft of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, was bandaged part of her wimple. Nearby farmers were told that a few days out of the mine came the singing of prayers.
October 31, 1918 White Army occupied Alapaevsk. The remains of the dead have learned from the mine, put in coffins and placed on the funeral at the cemetery church of the city. But with the advent of the Red Army of the body several times transported farther to the east. In April 1920 in Beijing, they were met by the head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission, Archbishop Innocent (Figurovsky). From there, two coffins - Grand Duchess Elizabeth and her sister Barbara - were transported to Shanghai and then by ship to Port Said. Finally coffins arrived in Jerusalem. Burial in January 1921 under the temple Equal to the Apostles Mary Magdalene made Jerusalem Patriarch Damian.
Thus was fulfilled the desire most of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth to be buried in the Holy Land expressed her during the pilgrimage in 1888.
