Holy Venerable Zosima of Ennat

The Venerable Zosima of Yennatskaya (in the world Evdokia Yakovlevna Sukhanova) lived 115 years, walked to Jerusalem, slept in a cypress coffin brought from there, and until her last day received crowds of people at her home - the sick, the lost, the possessed. The security officers were afraid of her, they brought demoniacs bound in chains and sick cattle to her, they sought advice and consolation from her. She predicted the future, healed, denounced - and all her prophecies came true, right down to the last one: how after death her grave would be dug up and turned face down. This material tells the story of an amazing saint who remained with people all her life, even when they tried to take her away from them.
