Retrato de Serafín de Sarov pintado en vida
bySeraphim of Sarov

Besides the Conversation, they contain the account of Motovilov's healing in 1831, other dialogues with Seraphim, the plan of his cell with the seven lamps before the icon of Tenderness, the charge of Diveyevo and the prophecies he ascribed to the elder. They are the source of many of the best-known episodes of the tradition and, at the same time, the most disputed.
