Russia’s Catacomb Saints

A masterful statement on the significance of the Catacomb Church as a source of inspiration for Christians today by Hieromonk Seraphim Rose. O ye blossoms of the spiritual meadow of Russia, who have wondrously flowered in the years of fierce persecutions, numberless new martyrs and confessors: royal passion-bearers, hierarchs, and pastors, monastics and laymen, men, women and children, who in patience have brought forth good fruit unto Christ. Entreat Him as the One who planted you to deliver His people from godless and evil people, and that the Church of Russia be made firm by your blood and sufferings, unto the salvation of our souls.
