Testimonies to the Miracle
Nine accounts tell what people experienced or heard about the 1956 Miracle of St.Nicholas in Kuibyshev (now Samara).
It was well-known that Elder Seraphim of Glinsk Hermitage took the icon of St. Nicholas from the hands of Zoë (Zoya). Fr. Anatoly Litvinko, who asked Elder Seraphim about this, said: "He bent his head humbly and from his silence I understood that yes, this did happen. He hid this out of humility, but also because the authorities could recapture him, since people would go to his church to venerate the miraculous icon. The authorities sought to transfer the icon to the altar area so the people would not gather.
Many believers from Samara knew Anna Ivanovna Fentotnova. She recalls: "In those days I had gone twice to the house of Zoë. The house was surrounded by police. I asked an officer if it is true that Zoe was stiffened. He told me: 'You ask me just like my wife asks me. However I will not tell you anything. See for yourself.' Then he took off his hat and showed me that his hair turned white, which occurred overnight! 'Is this enough? Words are unnecessary.Besides,we have signed to not speak of this. If you only knew the fear I had looking at her.'
Recently the parish priest of the Church of Saint Sophia in Samara, Fr. Vitali Kalasnikov, said: "My mother's aunt, Anna Pavlovna Kalasnikova, was a doctor in the ambulance of Kothimpasev. On that morning she came to find us, saying, 'You sleep while the city is on its feet.' Even though she had signed to not speak about the incident, she began to tell us that she saw Zoë look like a stone. She also saw the icon of Saint Nicholas in her hands. She also told us that no matter how many injections they made on her, every needle would break. All of us were astonished. A.P. Kalasnikova worked for many years in the ambulence. She died in 1996. I became a priest before her repose. Many who heard the narration that morning are still alive."
Valentina Nikolaevna from the city of Belgorod remembers: "I had come to Fr. Seraphim. At night I stayed in the house of Mary Romanovna, where many Christians gathered. It was very hot and I could not sleep. After a little while two young people came out. We began a conversation. They were students of the Theological Seminary. I asked them about Zoë. When the miracle happened they were young. Because of this miracle they believed in Christ. Now they had Fr. Seraphim as a spiritual father and confessed that the elder was the one who took the icon from the hands of Zoe. After the service, Matushka Loutsina (later she became Nun) asked if I venerated the icon of Saint Nicholas. 'Yes,' I answered. 'Which icon exactly did you venerate?' she asked again. I showed her the large icon of St. Nicholas on the wall. 'Not that one' she told me. 'Venerate the one on the analogion; that is the icon Elder Seraphim took from the hands of Zoë. The Elder told me not to tell anyone.If it becomes known there is a danger they will recapture him.'
Alexandra Ivanovna remembers:"It was the fifth week of the fast in 1982 when I arrived in Rakitin. At one point I dared to ask,'Elder,where is the icon of St. Nicholas you took from the hands of Zoë?' He fell into deep silence. He looked at me austerely. I don't know how it came to me to ask at that moment about the icon. In Kuibyshev my relatives lived on the same street as Zoë. I was 14 years old. At night they would shut their lights so people would not gather. The screams of Zoë frightened everybody. My relatives who were eye witnesses from that time began to believe and attend church. This miracle remained deeply etched in my mind. At that moment, when the Elder was looking at me, the phrase 'woe is me' passed through my mind. The Elder then said, 'The icon is in the church on the analogion. There were times when they wanted to completely remove it from the church.' This confirmed that he took the icon from the hands of Zoë. Two weeks later the Elder reposed."
Claudia Petrounenko from St. Petersburg and spiritual daughter of Metropolitan Nicholas Giarousevich, said the following:"I asked the bishop if he went to Kuibyshev and if he saw Zoë.
