- Summary:
- The memoirs presented in this volume offer a rare close-up account of the underground Orthodox community and its priests during some of the most difficult years in Russian history. The catacomb church in the Soviet Union came into existence in the 1920s and played a significant part in Russian national life for nearly fifty years. Adherents to the Orthodox faith often referred to the catacomb church as the 'light shining in the dark.' The book provides a first-hand portrait of lived religion in its social, familial, and cultural setting during this tragic period.
