"The Woman-Elder Misaila From Kursk' Christian Message From Moscow, Voice of Russia

Today The Christian Message From Moscow tells us a narrative about an Orthodox woman-elder named Misaila from the ancient Russian town of Kursk, in Central Russia. With her prayers she helped thousands of people in difficult moments of their lives, particularly during the Great Patriotic war that our people waged against the fascist occupation in 1941 to 1945.

This narrative is taken from a book of recollections of her granddaughter Ludmilla Sokolova, published in Moscow in 2005.
