3. Презентация (Presentation of the story): St Seraphim of Sarov

St. Seraphim of Sarov (Приложение 1, слайд 1) is a great Russian Saint who lived in the 18^th century. He was born on July 19, 1759 in the town of Kursk. His Christian name was Prokhor. His parents were Isidore and Agatha Moshnin. They were very pious. They helped to build several churches in Kursk (Приложение 1, слайд 2) and always helped those who were poor and sick.
When Prokhor was 7 he fell down by chance from the top of the bell tower scaffolding (Приложение 1, слайд 3). But, miraculously, he remained unhurt. Then at the age of ten Prokhor became very ill, he was very near death when, one night, he dreamt that the Mother of God came to him (Приложение 1, слайд 4) and told him that he would soon be well. Later that week a church procession (Приложение 1, слайд 5) with a famous Kursk Korennaya Icon of the Mother of God passed by the Moshnin house (Приложение 1, слайд 6). Agatha took the child and carried him outside to kiss the icon. The sick boy kissed the icon and soon became completely well.
Prokhor loved God and His holy Church very much and from his childhood he wanted to become a monk. He went on pilgrimage to the famous Monastery of the Caves in Kiev (Приложение 1, слайд 7) and consulted with staretz Dosithei who told him to go to Sarov Monastery. At home his mother Agatha blessed him with a large brass cross, which he wore until his death (Приложение 1, слайд 8). Then in 1778, at the age of nineteen, he and a few friends went to Sarov, where he was received into the Monastery (Приложение 1, слайд 9).
Every monk in a monastery has some duties. So did Prokhor. He worked in the bakery and in the carpenter`s shop. He was always busy. When he had some free time he would go to the forest alone to pray. Everyone loved him. He was quiet, meek and obedient, and his heart was always turned towards God. He loved church services very much and tried to attend them as often as he can and he practiced the Jesus Prayer unceasingly.
In 1780 Prokhor became very ill, he was near the death again. And again the Mother of God appeared to him, this time together with the Apostles Peter and John. She pointed at the sick Prochor and said, "This is one of our kind." Then he was told again that he would become well. Shortly after this he was completely healed.
When he was 27 Prochor was made a monk (Приложение 1, слайд 10) and given the name Seraphim which means "flaming" or "burning." It is also the name of the angels which are closest to God. And indeed, his heart was always burning with love for God. Sometimes during church services he would see angels in the altar. Once he saw the Lord Jesus Christ Himself (Приложение 1, слайд 11) shining brighter than the sun. At the age of 3l he became a priest and for a long time he served Liturgy and received Holy Communion every day. A year later, like the ancient Desert Fathers, St. Seraphim went to live alone in a dense pine forest (Приложение 1, слайд 12).
He built a small hut in the forest and made a bed of rocks on which he slept. His food consisted of one loaf of bread, which he brought weekly from the monastery, and a few vegetables, which he was able to grow in the rocky land. So he had very little food, but he shared it with the wild beasts that came to his door (Приложение 1, слайд 13). Sometimes a large bear came to Seraphim’s door for food, which he took from the hands of the hermit. There in the forest Father Seraphim was bitterly attacked by the powers of evil. But he survived all this spiritual battles through ...
