Лебедкин) Moscow, c1899 Of rectangle form, measuring 13.5cm x 11.5cm In beautiful condition ~ St Sergius of Radonezh is remembered as one of Russia’s most loved spiritual figures, a quiet monk whose humility ended up reshaping an entire nation’s soul. He revived monastic life during a time of turmoil, inspiring a new generation of communities built on simplicity, hard work, and unity. His blessing to Prince Dmitry Donskoy before the Battle of Kulikovo later became a symbol of moral strength and national courage. Even today, his legacy lives on in the countless monasteries he influenced and in the enduring idea that inner peace can become a source of collective strength.
