Hieromonk Alexander, Hermit of the Skete of Gethsemane (1810 - 1878)



One of the disciples asked, "Isn't it a sin to pray sitting and lying down?" The elder replied, "The elders told us: - at least upside down, but to pray; - many, because of weakness, prayed lying down, but the regiments defeated the demons standing up."
