Neil Sorsky. Romanenko E.

Talking about the life of a saint is a difficult task. His life is not as event as the life of a sovereign or commander. His inner world is generally the secret "behind seven seals." However, telling about the life of the Monk Neil Sorsky, a prominent church figure in medieval Rus', the author finds his key to the “cherished door”. This key was the texts of 24 lives of ancient saints, which Neil Sorsky selected in his collections. They are preserved in the autographs of the Monk. And the deeper you plunge in them, the more you understand what the person thought and what the person who rewritten them rewritten 500 years ago in a small monastery on the Sor River, not far from the Cyril-Belozersky monastery.
