Russian Icon - Saint Seraphim of Sarov, famous retailer

Saint Seraphim of Sarov (Серафим Саровский) († 1833), is one of the most renowned Russian monks and mystics in the Orthodox Church who was canonized in 1903. He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th century startsy (elders) and, arguably, the first. He is remembered for extending the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson, and taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit. He was canonized in 1903 in Sarov at the ceremony attended by the Tsar and senior members of the Russian Imperial family. 

Saint Seaphim is depicted in front of the Monastery of the Sarov-Dormition of the Mother of God where he lived from 1778 to 1833. On the back, the icon bears a stamp from the famous icon shop of Ivan Silin in Moscow.
