Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Saint Seraphim of Sarov was a Russian Orthodox saint and forest hermit of Sarov who entered the wilderness to seek the uncreated light. How does a merchant boy from Kursk survive a fall from a scaffolding and grow into a hieromonk who sees Christ at the altar?The path to holiness begins in the timbered home of a merchant family in Kursk, where young Prokhor Moshnin learns the rhythms of piety from his mother, Agathia. His childhood is marked by sudden interventions, from surviving a plummet from an unfinished bell tower to a miraculous healing through the passing icon of the Theotokos. After a pilgrimage to Kiev and a prophetic word from the elder Dorothea, he walks hundreds of miles to Sarov Monastery bearing an iron cross placed around his neck by his mother. There he embraces the grueling work of a novice, enduring a three year illness and a visitation from two radiant figures before receiving his monastic tonsure and the name Seraphim. The narrative follows this burning young hieromonk to the altar on Holy Thursday, where a vision of Christ leaves him transfigured, and stops at the threshold of the forest where his isolation will begin.Providential childhood rescues: a boy survives a plummet from a bell tower and is healed by the passing icon of the Theotokos.Monastic obedience learned: a willing novice carries firewood, submits to his elder, and endures three years of severe illness before a celestial visitation.Uncreated light witnessed: a hieromonk beholds Christ entering the temple and stands transfigured before his brothers.Book One of The Wonderworker of Sarov: A Life in Three Books.
