Author Biography

Ivan Ilyich Sergiev (1829-1908), known to his
contemporaries as Fr John of Kronstadt, was the most revered figure of the
Orthodox Church in Russia in the half-century leading up to the Bolshevik
revolution of 1917. In 1892 Andrew Dickson White, co-founder of Cornell
University, became the American First Minister to Russia. He wrote in his
memoirs that Fr John “…enjoys throughout the empire a vast reputation as
a saintly worker of miracles…His picture is to be seen with the portraits of
the saints in vast numbers of Russian homes, from the palaces of the highest
nobles to the cottages of the humblest peasants.”

Fr
John’s veneration grew even greater after his death, and in 1964 the Russian
Orthodox Church outside Russia formally recognized him as a Saint. His Feast is
kept on October 19.
