A pre-revolutionary pilgrim




A pre-revolutionary pilgrim at the Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery. He holds a walking stick for the long journey, a vessel for boiling water on his shoulder, a modest load, and simple clothing, but everything is clean and tidy.
The wanderer arrived at the monastery cemetery inside the Holy Canal. Behind him, on the left, is the nearby hermitage of St. Seraphim, transported from the Sarov forest.
Apparently, he had just been there, venerated the Seraphim's relics, and was now heading to a distant hermitage that serves as the altar of the Transfiguration Cemetery Church.
