Saint Seraphim of Sarov - the Beloved Russian Miracle Worker Hermit

Back

Saint Seraphim of Sarov (Серафим Саровский) († 1833), was one of the most renowned Russian monks and mystics in the Orthodox Church. He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th century startsy (elders) and, arguably, the first. He is remembered for extending the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson, and taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit. 

Seraphim was born in 1759 in the city of Kursk, Russia. He became a monk at the age of 27, and spent the rest of his life in the hermitage of Sarov, a remote monastery in the forests of central Russia. Seraphim was known for his asceticism and his devotion to prayer, and he became renowned throughout Russia for his spiritual wisdom and healing powers. Seraphim's canonization was a long and complex process that began shortly after his death in 1833. Over the years, the Church collected numerous accounts of his life and miracles, and his reputation as a holy man continued to grow.

In 1903, the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church officially recognized Seraphim as a saint at the ceremony attended by the Tsar and senior members of the Russian Imperial family, and his canonization was celebrated throughout Russia. Seraphim's canonization was an important event in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. His teachings on prayer and asceticism continue to be an inspiration to many Orthodox Christians, and his monastery in Sarov remains an important center of pilgrimage and spiritual renewal. The canonization of Seraphim also helped to solidify the position of the Russian Orthodox Church as an important spiritual and cultural force in Russia, particularly during a time of political and social upheaval in the country.

Saint Seraphim is remembered in the Anglican Communion with a commemoration on 2 January. Pope John Paul II also referred to him as a saint.

Russian Icon - St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. Eudokia of Heliopolis

Saint Seraphim of Sarov (Серафим Саровский) († 1833), is one of the most renowned Russian monks and mystics in the Orthodox Church who was canonized in 1903. He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th-century startsy (the elders) and, arguably, the first. He is remembered for extending the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson, and taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit. He was canonized in 1903 in Sarov at the ceremony attended by the Tsar and senior members of the Russian Imperial family.

Saint Eudokia (Eudocia) was a Samarian woman who lived in Heliopolis of Phoenicia (present-day Baalbek, Lebanon). She was a very beautiful pagan and garnered her wealth by attracting wealthy lovers. Eudokia learned about Christianity from a monk by the name of Germanos and asked him if she, too, could be saved from Judgment. Germanos instructed her to remain alone in her chamber for one week, fasting and praying. Eudokia followed his instructions, and at the end of the week, she had a vision about the Archangel Michael that assured her of Christ's love for all people. At age 30, Eudokia commissioned the building of a monastery near Heliopolis and dispensed much of her wealth in various charitable projects. She rejected all of her suitors, and when one persistent suitor named Philostratus was struck down because of his persistence, Eudokia prayed for him until he recovered and then converted to Christianity. Eudokia persuaded many pagans to convert to Christianity and, by her actions, angered Roman officials who had her beheaded in 107 AD.
