10 Holy Places In Russia That Heal Body And Soul

Holy places, in my deep conviction, have tremendous energy and are able to nourish a person, support and give strength, both spiritual and physical.

Once I went on an excursion to a functioning nunnery. To be honest, I didn’t really count on anything. I returned from the trip with an indescribable feeling of purification.

And my friend and her husband didn’t have a baby for a long time. They went to Matrona, to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, they went to Diveevo. After some time, they gave birth to their baby. They think the saints helped them. And there are a lot of such wonderful stories.

Sometimes it happens that a person gives up. Doctors sign their helplessness and report that only a miracle will help. Vitality is running out, but in my heart there is a small hope for God’s grace. Then a person goes to a holy place – where there is a place of hope, where every word is a balm on the soul.

Someone thinks this is self-hypnosis, while someone really believes in the miraculous power of holy places. The editorial staff of Colady magazine decided to mentally look into the most sacred places in Russia that can help, soothe and heal from a nervous ailment or illness.
