Saint Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)is one of the most renowned Russian monks and mystics in the Russian Orthodox Church. He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th-century startsy (elders). Seraphim extended the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson. He taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit. Perhaps his most popular quotation amongst Orthodox believers is Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved.
Seraphim was glorified (canonized) by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1903 in the presence of Emperor Nicholas II and the Imperial family. These photographs form a part of that celebration......
Holy Trinity Saint Seraphim Diveyevo Monastery and Sacred Springs

The history of the Holy Trinity Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery began in 1760 when the Mother of God appeared to nun Alexandra in a dream at the village of Diveyevo and promised to base a great and unrivalled convent there. The Most Holy Mother of God has chosen Diveyevo to be Her favorite place, «the fouth and last dower on the Earth». She also promised to gather there the mercy and the grace of the Lord from all her previous dowers: Iberia (Georgia), Mount Athos (Greece), Holy Trinity Lavra of the Caves (Ukraine, Kiev).
Diveyevo is famous for its sacred springs. They are health-giving and cure people from different ailments.

Troparion to the re. Seraphim of Sarov
On July 19 (August 1, according to the new art.) 1903, official church glorification took place in the face of saints and the acquisition of honest relics of Father Seraphim of Sarov , beloved and long respected by the people. The celebrations held in Sarov and Diveevo became a special landmark in the spiritual history of the country, as Sarov and Diveevo have always been and remain a special place of spiritual geography of Russia .
The celebrations were attended by the Emperor Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna and members of the Imperial family. Together with pilgrims from across Russia, local dignitaries and members of the nobility.
Following the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet authorities severely persecuted religious groups. As part of their persecution of Christians, they confiscated many relics of saints, including St. Seraphim. Furthermore, his biographer Seraphim Chichagov, who came to become a Metropolitan, was arrested, sentenced to death and executed by firing squad in 1937 (and is also celebrated as a Russian Orthodox saint).
In 1991, St. Seraphim's relics were rediscovered after being hidden in a Soviet anti-religious museum for seventy years. This caused a sensation in post-Soviet Russia and throughout the Orthodox world. A crucession (religious procession) escorted the relics, on foot, all the way from Moscow to Diveyevo Convent, where they remain to this day.

Paris St.Séraphin-de-Sarov. Hidden Russian Orthodox church!
Getting to this church -- St.Séraphin-de-Sarov, on-time might be a challenge: you need to find the street-side large green doors, then, once within, head down a short wondrous pavee-path and around past a building straight out of the town from Downtown Abbey. (‘Carson’ was unavailable…) Then, in past the green metal gate and behold, an unreal urban oasis of calm and serenity infused with the heady fragrances of all manner of flowers and plants… The day I arrived, someone was practicing a wonderful Violin! …(and did I mention the unreal quiet)?
It was supposedly built from wooden crates from the area, and consecrated by Metropolitan Eulogius (Guéorguievski ) …being financed by gifts from Russian émigrés whites from the area.
Paris saw an flux of Russians post revolution….
2 TRUNKS: The church is made entirely of wood, and goes one better …having a live maple tree growing through the roof of the church yet another, large’ish trunk (dead) also within the church.
It is modest sized, yet well appointed, among the icons in the church are works of Joan Reitlinger and Mother Mary Skobtsov .
IT WAS REBUILT IN THE 1970'S...I BELIEVE...
