The life of a Russian emigre nun, Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945), in Paris who found glory in the service of others; the poor, the indigent, drinks, drug addicts, forsaken emigres, and persecuted Jews. Scorning the traditional path of monasticism she gave of herself to all, even to the end—death in a Nazi gas chamber, dying in place of another. A moving and captivating account.
Mother Maria was glorified by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate during its session of January 16, 2004. Her liturgical commemoration has been fixed by the Patriarchate on July 20. Translated and published by non-Orthodox. Read with discretion.
