Zosima (1767-1833) was one of the many holy hermits who lived in the vast, wild forests of northern Russia.

From his mystical striving in the heart of the wilderness to his work in establishing a monastic community for women, Elder Zosima shines forth with the simple wisdom of Christ-like humility." ; Acquisition of the Holy Spirit in Russia; Vol. 6; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 287 pages .
