On the day of St. Michael the Archangel, I had to go to Sofia, to the Russian Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, where the tomb of Archbishop Seraphim (Sobolev), the founder of our monastery, is located. There I was to meet with our sisters and return with them to the monastery. I stopped the car in front of the church and noticed that on the front window there is no icon of the Mother of God (without the icon, we never hit the road).
Fortunately, I had such an icon - Iverskaya. I stuck it to the glass, crossed myself and prayed: “Mother of God, save us.” When I got out of the car, an unfamiliar old man addressed me: “I advise you to park your car in another place; too many cars are driving here. ” Deciding to take his good advice, I returned and parked the car away. Then I entered the crypt, where the Saint rests. I stood there for about an hour.
Coming out of the tomb, I immediately saw that there was a terrible disaster. Two cars collided on the very spot where I left the car at the beginning. Verily, the Mother of God miraculously preserved us!
