Item description from the seller
down arrow

Father John in some respects is the most remarkable man in Russia to-day, and certainly is the most talked of. He represents a type all by itself in the Russian Church, and no one has so vividly brought home to the people its power and potentialities with a complete leaving out of all the ostentation, pomp, and grandeur with which it formerly charmed and awed the people.

According to research by the Society for Orthodox History in the Americas, St. John of Kronstadt was often written about in the American press during his lifetime. Although people in the United States generally had little knowledge of Orthodox Christianity, the people were Christian, and information about a living saint who so tirelessly cared for the poor, healed the sick, and even raised the dead caught the sincere interest of the reading public.
