Description
The saint was buried, but his relics were uncovered in 1903 when he was glorified as a saint. His relics were lost during the Bolshevik persecution in Russia but were rediscovered in the basement of a museum in 1991. This rejuvenated the faith of Russians who were just beginning to come out of Soviet oppression. His feast is celebrated on January 2.
St. Seraphim is depicted here holding a prayer rope. One of his best-known sayings is: "Acquire a peaceful spirit, and around you thousands will be saved." This reflects the common Orthodox belief that one of the best forms of evangelism is to be a faithful Christian of firm faith, ceaseless prayer, and good works.
Seraphim of Sarov is commemorated on January 2.
