Instructions to spiritual children Sermons and Words • Words • Enlightenment. • Insight St. Theophan, Archbishop of Poltava, the New Hermit, is well known in Russia as the spiritual father of the Royal Family. St. Theophan (in the world Vasily Dmitrievich Bystrov) was born on the very last day of 1873 (Old Style) near St. Petersburg, in the village of Podmoshye, Novgorod province, in a large family of a rural priest, whose entire wealth consisted of the piety of his parents. /// The country was seized by growing passions on the eve of great and irreversible eschatological events. Archbishop Theophan was deeply shocked by the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II from the throne. He clearly understood that the Tsar made this step not only under the pressure of his entourage - for the Tsar, that was the last step on the path of serving the people, which he promised to protect. In the mid-1920s, Vladyka Theophan received an offer from the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (its Chairman in 1925 was Metropolitan Kliment, who had studied at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy with Vladyka) to move to Sofia. In the capital of Bulgaria, Vladyka was provided with two rooms in the Synodal Chamber. By the way, the relocation of Archbishop Theophan was facilitated by the Ruling Bishop of the Russian Churches in Bulgaria, Bishop Seraphim of Lubensk (Sobolev), who had been ordained [on October 1, 1920] by Archbishop Theophan as Vicar of the Poltava Diocese. Archbishop Theophan lived for five years in Bulgaria, in Sofia and Varna (he came to this city in the summer to restore his health). On April 16/29, 1931, he left hospitable Bulgaria for good and moved to France, to Paris, where he lived very secluded, since the time was hectic. After living for several years under almost constant surveillance and wanting to find a safe home, he, along with the Porokhov family, in whose Paris house he was hiding, moved to the small town of Moun. After the death of the Porokhov couple that followed soon, Vladyka accepted the offer of the former Poltava landowner Maria Vasilievna Fedchenko and moved to her in the town of Limeret, where she lived in her small estate. He settled there on September 1, 1939. Collection of all the writings by ArchBp. Theophan of Poltava : Theology, letters, words... The title only shows my admiration for his understanding and living.
