The life of parents who raised saints and ascetics

The state of the family is the state of mankind. This was written by Saint John Chrysostom: "When families are destroyed, the cities will fall and the states will fall. At all times, people paid special attention to family relationships and raising children. The best education is a personal example of Christian life, transmitted from parents to children, from generation to generation. In this collection, we will talk about the families from which the Saints Vasily the Great, Gregory the Theologian, Gregory Palama, Theodore Studit, Sergius of Radonezh, John of Kronstadt, Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky) and other saints of God, received an invaluable inheritance from their parents.
The sources for most publications were the "lives of saints in the Russian language, set forth according to the leadership of the Saint-Mine of St. Dimitry Rostov, as well as excerpts from the complete collection of the creations of the Holy Fathers of the Church and church writers in Russian translation (PSTSO)
