Margarita Woloschin’s narrative of the life of Seraphim of Sarov, translated into English here for the first time, was published in Moscow in 1913, just ten years after Sarov’s canonization by the Russian Orthodox Church in July of 1903.

Presenting the most remarkable facts and key stages of Saint Seraphim’s life, Woloschin’s storytelling contemplates deeply about the nature of miracles, the Holy Spirit, the human soul and spirituality, the Word of God, and silence.

Woloschin’s telling of the story of Saint Seraphim’s remarkable life, informed as it is, quite naturally, by both the Russian Church and anthroposophy, is a remarkably fresh testament to the beauty and power of human love and sacrifice, in service of Christ.
