Elder Philaret of Glinsk
On January 2, 1833, after Matins, as Elder Philaret ws standing on the roof of his cell, he saw a light shinging in the sky and someone's soul being borne to heaven by singing angels. He looked at it for a long time and called to several monks. He pointed to the unusual light and said, "That is how the souls of the righteous are carried off! In Sarov, Fr. Serapim has just gone to his rest." Only two of th ebrethren were vouchsfed to see the light. Later they found out that on that very night, Fr. Seraphim ad died.
