Firstly I´m not sure where this topic should go so.. now this is here..
Reading memoirs of Felix Yusupov I came across a saint named Serafim. It is said that after Aleksander I seeing him Aleksander disappeared. Someone says he died but there’s also an other storey about him being a monk or a hermit. When opened his chest [by Bolsheviks] the body was missing. Felix write too that Nikolai Mihailovits who wrote historical documents etc. denied the whole doubt of Aleksander I to be anything else but dead. When Felix asked the reason he thought so Nikolai told that he should not write otherwise.
The second thing what made me interested is that he actually write that there is going to be a day, after he’s dead, he is promoted as a saint. That day will take a part in summer and present in this ceremony will be the last tsar. And that is what actually happened in 1903. Maybe just a coincidence but what I’ve red about this saint he really did thing that was connected miracles.
I read too that there are many documents written by Serafim which were burned by the Synod. No one knows reason.
Somehow this made me thinking of Rasputin and his predictions such as Tsar and his family won’t live long after his dead etc. Maybe this sounds stupid and silly but since many of here believes that he was not a saint and was a liar, maybe he had heard the story of Serafim and about this prophecy...
But who was this Serafim? What did he write was so scary that Synod had to destroy them?
