St. Sergius of Radonezh
The most beloved saint of Russia, a hermit whose forest cell grew into the great Trinity monastery, who revived Russian monasticism and blessed his people in their struggle for freedom.
From a single hut in the woods he renewed the faith of a whole nation, and his blessing before the battle of Kulikovo helped rally Russia against its overlords.
