First English translation of a story of miracles, love, hate, faith and betrayal; but sorrow and sadness is overcome by prophecy and unimaginable joy. This is a story of simple folk and spiritual giants in 19th century Russia. It’s the story depicting the extraordinary life of a boy becoming the world beloved St Seraphim of Sarov. We see Seraphim transcending the bounds of the spiritual and the material. We encounter a man full of joy to whom flocked thousands of people – and still do. He was at one with nature, living in the forest where the wild bear lies at his feet and is fed by him. He is at one with all, forest or town. We encounter so many individuals searching for something more than their immediate surroundings; we enter the Convent in Diveyevo and see life inside.
