Father Gapon's march, known as the "Bloody Sunday" protest, took place on January 22, 1905, in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was organized by Gapon, a Russian Orthodox priest, to advocate for workers' rights, including better wages, working conditions, and political reforms. The peaceful demonstration turned tragic when imperial troops opened fire on the marchers, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, which fueled public outrage and contributed to the broader Russian Revolution of 1905.
