Nun Seraphima (Bulgakova)
“It is not wondrous that it has not reached 700 feet near my hut, but it is wondrous that my death will be like the death of the seven youths of Ephasus, who slept for three hundred years in the cave. Just as they arose in affirmation of the General Resurrection, so will I arise before the end [of the world] and lie down in Diveyevo. Diveyevo will not be named for the village Diveyevo, but for the worldwide wonder.”
