In the book “The Visible Invisible,” Alexandrina Vigilyanskaya shares the true story of her search for the Providence of God – the story of a journey not only in space, but also in time, through centuries, from the present to the past. Mysterious paths led her to the miraculous discovery of her ancestry and a meeting with her holy grandfather, her ancestor in the eighth generation – righteous Alexy Bortsurmansky.

“From my notes it will become clear how it happened that I fell in love with wandering – traveling through Russian cities, towns and villages in search of miraculous beauty and man-made wonderful antiquity, how I discovered the healing nature of these places and no longer I could do without them. How I came up with a way to escape the airless space of the metropolis with its rhythms of idle, dead running: I waited for the weekend, got into the car and simply drove beyond the Moscow Ring Road – to where life begins, where the past returns and comes to life, where a person acquires a completely different perception yourself and the world around you. It was on one of these trips that a meeting took place that changed my life, although I didn’t even suspect it at the time,” writes the author.
