St. Matrona of Moscow, whom people from all over Russia cry for help, was born in the Tula province in the family of the Nikonorovs Natalia and Dmitry. This divine event took place on November 10 in the village of Sebino, Klimovsky district.
Divine message
A blind girl was born. For parents who were already aged, this became a problem. They began to think about leaving the baby in a shelter.
One night, in a dream, a vision came to Matron’s mother, as if a very beautiful, unusually bright, divine bird had flown to her. This white bird was completely blind. She simply did not have eyes, and her eyelids were tightly closed, like her daughter. The bird sat on the woman’s chest.
In the mother’s dream, it became so warm and unusually calm from her presence that when she woke up, Natalya decided that this dream is a sign “from above” and the parents decide not to send the girl to the orphanage.
The baby grew and tried to fill the people close to her and the whole house with happiness and kindness. Matron was the fourth child in the family. Two brothers grew up with her, Ivan and Mikhail, as well as her older sister Maria. By the age of 8, Matronushka, as her parents and close people called her, who loved her, began to treat sick people, and also completely unexpectedly for everyone, to talk about what would happen in the future and what happened in the past.
Youth of St. Matrona
By the age of 18, Matronushka’s legs were paralyzed. Being not only blind, but also practically immobilized, Matron did not lose her fortitude. Possessing tremendous willpower and natural cheerfulness, the girl traveled with her friend, the daughter of a landowner, Lydia Yankova. Together with her, they made pilgrimages to the holy places of Russia.
They visited many cities. Together the girls visited the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and also visited the Kronstad Cathedral, where, according to legend, the Holy Righteous John Kronshtadsky, seeing Matron, asked the parishioners to part with the girl and, calling her “my shift and the eighth pillar of Russia” , called to himself.
Life during the revolution
In 1917, a revolution comes. Matron, who lived in her parents' house, began to think about the fact that she could involuntarily throw trouble on her family. This could happen because of her divine gift, because during the revolution the neighborhood of ardent party members, who became her older brothers, and their blessed sister was absolutely undesirable.
Matron and her friend Lydia begin to look for work in the city. Matron was left homeless and had to live where she could be sheltered. She came to Moscow in 1925.
Everywhere, Matronushka was followed by novices who looked after the sick mother. Wherever she was, people followed her to once again see the miracle of Matrona of Moscow. She never refused to help any of her petitioners.
How to write a note Matrona Moscow
Many came to mother personally or brought their relatives to her, but it was possible to write a letter to Matrona of Moscow. The servants read these notes to her aloud, and Matronushka read the prayer and dictated the answer to the question of interest.
People wondered: “How to write a note to the Matrona of Moscow?” First of all, as mother herself said, words must come from a pure heart. First of all, you need to ask for Matrona ’s prayer for yourself and your loved ones, and then only ask for help in what bothers and bothers your soul most of all.
Note to Matrona of Moscow. Sample petition
“Dear Matronushka, pray before the Lord Jesus Christ for my loved one. My husband and my son. Forgive me for all the sins. Free and involuntary. Help me always maintain clarity of mind and correct thinking. ”
The attitude of the Holy Matrona of Moscow to magicians and sorcerers
Each person, at a certain moment in life, has that desire, which is a priority for him. Matronushka helped in the healing of patients from the incriminations of sorcerers, psychics and other magicians. Most of all in her life, she did not love them and did not approve of the actions of those of them who turned to her for help.
Once an old man came to Matron. There were tears in his eyes. He wholeheartedly asked mother to save her son from a mortal illness. Matronushka called him to her and put her hand on his head (she always did this to “look” at people), after which she said only one phrase: “What did you do to him? To death or illness? ”“ To death, ”the man answered. Mother drove him away and was unable to help. She possessed the gift not only to see and feel the present, but also to see actions, thoughts of people in the past and future.
Miracles in the life of people who turned to Matron for help
Holy Matronushka never asked for anything. People themselves brought her food and other things in gratitude for the help.
Matron has never lived in one house for a long time. Her whole life was spent in wandering. They tried to arrest her many times, but, as a rule, the day before they were supposed to come to her, she packed and went to another place with her minions.
Once, mother still managed to be found in the house before leaving. The officer, who appeared to execute the received order, saw Matron sitting on a chest in the room. She sat quite calmly and as if waiting for him. As soon as he entered the room, mother said: “You now need to go home and save your wife. She is in danger. Don’t worry about me. I’m blind and I won’t run away. ”
The soldier could not decide for a long time, but still went home. It was surprising that he managed just in time to take the woman to the hospital. She stayed alive. As it turned out later, there was a fire and if the spouse had not arrived in time, she could have died in the house. The next day, when the officer was again ordered to arrest Matron, he flatly refused to comply with the order. “If not for my mother, my wife would have died. I will not do it. Matron saved our family from great misfortune. " It was a real miracle of the Matrona of Moscow, like many others.
Matron loved people and tried to help them with everything she could. Sometimes it was just advice or a kind word, but there was always a prayer to the Lord God.
Once a woman came to mother. She complained very much about her fate. A few years ago, her family forcibly married her, and since then she lives in an unhappy marriage and, moreover, cannot have children. Then Matrona said that God can ask for everything that can be desired, but he cannot help the asker in any way without his desire. Man is the embodiment of God. A woman must obey her man and accept her fate. For every common-law marriage, Matron considered wedding mandatory. This is what Matron of Moscow is about. What can I ask after these words?
After a conversation with Matrona, each person found comfort and peace. The woman listened to the advice and, as a result, a year later gave birth to a baby.
The last days of mother
Matrona Moscow lived in Moscow until 1952. May 2 of this year is the day of the death of Matrona of Moscow. At present, May 2 is the day of memory of the Matrona of Moscow.
Matron knew about her death in 3 days, as people who were with the old woman in the last days for her assure. But until the very last minute, mother received visitors. During the day, Matronushka helped those in need, and at night she prayed.
Throughout her life, as the novices told, Matronushka did not sleep, but only dozed, putting her fist under her head and curled up. That is how she was remembered. Small, fragile, with short arms and legs. As a child, she was vulnerable. But this is only an external impression. The Matron possessed the tremendous inner strength that the Lord God gave her at birth.
Matrona of Moscow is also considered to be Memorial Day on March 8 (the day of “Finding relics”), as well as on October 5.
The attitude of others to the Holy Matron during life
During the 67 years that mother lived in this world, thousands of people came to her. Some of them wrote a letter to Matrona of Moscow, and some came to her with their whole family. The Matronushka blessed all of them and made them believe in the Lord. Those who came to her under duress, reluctantly, left her with a calm heart.
But there were those who did not like Matron or did not want to believe in her destiny. Many were simply afraid of her. They were afraid of the truth that she could tell them. She never wanted to take anything from these people in gratitude. She also felt people relate to herself and never wanted to burden them with her presence.
63 years have passed since her death, people have not lost faith in the power of her invisible help. Across Russia, people write notes to St. Matrona of Moscow. Many make a pilgrimage to the grave where she was buried.

Gifts from Matronushka
During her life, mother loved flowers very much. All her petitioners knew about this and tried to come to her with them. Her whole room, wherever she was, was almost all the time in flowers. Even now, when people come to the Pokrovsky monastery, one can see bouquets in the hands of everyone. These are roses, daisies, daffodils, peonies, asters, chrysanthemums and many others. All flowers are of different colors. There is a feeling that people came for the holiday.

Coming to the temple, people ask the sisters what exactly the Holy Matron can help. The sisters speak of her as a saint, who throughout her life tried to instruct people on the path of light and good.
She asked people to pray and receive communion in the temple more often; Do not discuss any of the close and unfamiliar people; not be offended by the words and deeds of the sick and the elderly; do not think about your dreams (they come from the evil one); light yourself up more often with a cross, especially the food you eat; try not to pick up things and money on the street; Do not turn to sorcerers and magicians.
The most important thing is to know and believe that our affairs are recorded in 2 books. One of them is a book of sins and evil deeds, and the other is a book of good deeds done by a person with all his heart. Matrona of Moscow said that one can ask God for everything and not be afraid to do good to people.
