The Holy spring in village S. Platonovo

"In the beginning of XIX century lived, worked and prayed the monks,who was the brothers to the flesh and spirit, Konstantine and Arkadiy. They endured many hardships, persecutions, wandering in the desert places and forests before they settled near Platonovo (then Roshinskaya volost, Krasnoufimskiy district of the Perm province - near hamlets Guryan Shchukin). Having built a cell, the monks prayed fervently, leading a very secluded life, trying less to communicate with the world. But the news that in the forest striving true worshipers of God quickly spread around. And to the brothers for advice and blessing reached the people. One old woman from the hamlet Shaidurov went to them constantly. In Peter's fast, she had not found the monks in cell. There was a note "Look for us in the log under a birch ooze". Evil people, deceived to find the monk's gold, killed them. The investigation revealed that they had a Martyr's death on January 18, 1856, but their immortal bodies were only found in July. Monks were buried near the place of their death, on top of a wooded hill near the hamlet Guryanovka. Soon near the grave scored a spring. The inhabitants of the surrounding hamlets many times seen at night at the tomb of the monks lit two candles: they continued to pray for sinners".

Now they venerate and glorify venerated saints of God throughout all Russia'".
