Rev. Alexander Svirsky. Comp. Markova A.A.

Holy Rev. Alexander Svirsky is revered as one of the greatest saints in the land of the Russian Sentifier. From a young age, he was thinking about devoting his life to serving God. Having accepted tonsure in the Valaam monastery, he convinced his father and mother to act in the same way. The graves of the parents of Alexander Svirsky are in the introduction of the Oyat monastery. The harsh ascetic, who had been working on the Northern Athos for many years, once heard a voice from the sky, who ordered to go to the Svir river, "it was possible to escape on it." Here, Alexander Svirsky became famous among the people as a great prayer book, an eyeless and healer of bodies of bodily and spiritual. Already during his lifetime, people revered him as a saint.
