That's interesting, I never knew that St. Basil appeared right in the Ryazan Kremlin. I would like to know what year it was and what exactly he did. Thanks for the article.

Beatriz López

Yes, I was also curious. In what year exactly did that apparition happen in the Ryazan Kremlin and what did Saint Basil do? The article does not say it clearly. Thanks for sharing it.

Стефан Ристески

Metropolitan Nicodemus mentioned that it happened in the 17th century, when Saint Basil of Ryazan called the Kremlin and saved the city from the plague. I am interested in whether there are still such testimonies from Ryazan today. Thanks for the article.

Mark Parker

I didn't know the details either until Stefan mentioned it. So it was the 17th century, during the plague, and St. Basil appeared right there in the Ryazan Kremlin and saved the city. Makes you wonder if any old-timers in Ryazan still pass down stories like that today.

Marta Sánchez

Yes, the same thing happened to me too, the article leaves everything a bit up in the air. According to what I read later, it was in 1609 during the Polish invasion, when Saint Basil appeared in the Ryazan Kremlin to encourage the defenders and gave them strength to resist. Have you heard anything about that story before?

María Sánchez

Yes, that date of 1609 fits with what my grandparents said about the invasions. I was surprised that the metropolitan mentioned it so in passing, as if we all knew the rest. Do you think that's why in Ryazan they still have so much special devotion to him?
