Seraphim of Sarov

Seraphim of Sarov

Seraphim of Sarov (August 1, 1754 – January 14, 1833) is one of the most venerated saints in the Russian Orthodox Church, renowned as a mystic and spiritual guide. Born in Kursk to a merchant family, he entered the Sarov Monastery at age 17. After years of extreme asceticism in the forest, including living alone in a hut and praying for a thousand nights on a rock, he became known for his humility and wisdom. In his later years, he received visitors, offering counsel on acquiring the Holy Spirit and inner peace. His teachings, especially the 'Acquisition of the Holy Spirit,' have deeply influenced Orthodox spirituality. He was canonized in 1903, and his relics are enshrined at the Sarov Monastery.
