| St. Seraphim has accomplished an eremitical feat in full: his sacrificial love for God and for his neighbours was really great. And what a great attention should be paid to his precept «to gain the grace of the Holy Spirit». The Orthodox people set their hopes upon beneficial help of the saint and firmly believe in his prayerful intercession before the Throne of God.
The akathist is austerely performed by priests Sergij (Kulikov) and Aleksij (Godunov) and accompanied by the Moscow Churches’ Choir of Singers (Precentor Anatoly Kuleshov). Melodies of the Sarov and of the St. Zossima Hermitages are in wonderful harmony with Znamenny chant and author’s works («O Heavenly King», music by P. Chesnokov; Prokimenon, music by Archimandrite Matthew (Mormyl)).
Color booklet (60 pages) in Russian and in English with illustrations and icons of St. Seraphim, with the brief saint’s life and the full text of the akathist.
