Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov; 1896-1993) became known to the whole world as the author of the most amazing life written in the 20th century, the book "Elder Silouan of Athos" (later published as "St. Silouan of Athos"). Elder Sophronius himself, a faithful disciple and heir of St. Silouan, after many years of exploits on Mount Athos, founded in England, in Essex, the monastery of St. John the Baptist. As a theologian and hesychast, preacher and confessor, he truly became “everything for everyone”, generously sharing his spiritual gifts. In the words of Elder Sophronius, the centuries-old innermost experience of Orthodox Tradition turned out to be expressed in a language that is intelligible and close to our contemporary, and therefore especially important. On the pages of this book, readers will get acquainted with the biography, materials for canonization and memories of the ascetic.
