Who Is St. Seraphim of Sarov?
Our puzzlement might surprise Eastern Orthodox Christians, who count this monk among their greatest, most popular saints. In Russia, where Seraphim was born on July 19, 1759, his memory survived all efforts to obliterate it. The Communists destroyed the Sarov monastery and the nearby forest where he spent sixteen years as a hermit, and confiscated his relics. Nonetheless, says biographer Michael Plekon, people told “beautiful stories” about Seraphim’s continuing presence. “Soldiers were greeted by a smiling little man in a white smock; lost travelers were guided in howling blizzards by a little old man in white.” Peasants brought fresh pine branches into the anti-religion museum in the former Kazan cathedral, where the relics were thought to have been hidden away “for the little father,” they would tell museum guards. “They remind him of home.”

A masked man bashed a mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe with a sledgehammer last week, at a parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
“The Image of our Lady on Cedros Ave. has been severely vandalized. This is one of our saddest moments in addition to our pandemic times ever since,” stated the parish website for St. Elisabeth Catholic Church in Van Nuys, California.
Security camera footage reported showed a man hitting the parish’s 35-year-old mural 13 times at 1:40 am on April 21, the parish said.
The parish called the desecration an act of sacrilege against the Blessed Mother. They asked for donations to restore the tiles in the mural, and announced that plexiglass casing would be installed around it for security. Donations for restoration or for the plexiglass may be submitted through the parish website.
