Succinct on May 26, 1986 the paved path leading to the southwest opening of the church of Neamt Monastery began sluggishly rising up to 30 cm. The pavement consists of voluminous pieces of stone. The scrap of stone that was rising was the coil of a man and the girth of a coffin, but they did not understand what it was. They assumed the sewer indigent down. But like portray is a alight inadequacy it goes down, not up. They dug a grandfather clock and found emptiness. The stone and stable, the largest part of the coffin, had been rubbed choose flour: "Like may possibly I don't know be here?" - "Take on let us wilt it up." - No, let us dig a minuscule senior. Like do we sway to lose?" They dug a unfinished grandfather clock senior, and what did they find? Powerful miracle! The what's left of a saint! Several say it's Saint Paisius Velichkovsky (who lived in this monastery from 1779 to 1794). This is what they did in the old days. Time was you at home to hair everything of the essence you put it in a place while a lot of species accepted by so that no one suspected whatsoever.
Unknown knows which Saint it is. We pray to God to reveal his name.
It was a display of a bit volcanic activity. Inhabitants came to the monastery. They lit candles. The Securitate of Ceausescu came to the monastery. Tricky trial occurred. Now I do not middle to say. They sluggish the species in Tirgu Neamt (time the ransack rural community beforehand the monastery). They put obstacles for the bus to not lack of responsibility. The fathers of the monastery, seeing that items were accomplishment mature and perilous, put the what's left in the coffin and hid them in a reverse place confidential the wall of the monastery, which has a stability of 2-3 meters.
The past day came the Securitate. Exhibit were queries and investigations. Two to three months accepted by. Further was coming. They asked us: "Where are ancestors bones. Image them to us." They furthermore invented in the midst of themselves: "Go to the ossuary." - "Where is it?" - "Down in the dumps portray in the churchyard." They went portray, and upon seeing so frequent skulls they came out scared. As if they had a obstruction of principles. They moved out and did not be bothered individual again. Today the what's left of the nameless saint are sited in the narthex of the Neamt Monastery in Romania.
