À propos de ce contenu audio

Today we remember Venerable Sylvester of Obnora, a 14th-century monk known for his deep love of solitude and prayer. After receiving blessing from Saint Sergius of Radonezh, Sylvester settled in a remote forest by the Obnora River, where he lived as a hermit and later became the founder and abbot of a monastery. Sylvester’s life was marked by strict fasting, tireless prayer, and spiritual guidance to many who came to him. His legacy includes a monastery dedicated to Christ’s Resurrection and a protected grove that remains a place of reverence. Even after his repose in 1379, miracles were reported at his tomb, and his memory continues to inspire the faithful today.
