The Life of Blessed Paisius of Athos Retold for Children

All the kids know what a family is and what a school is. In a family, children are born, and some of you have brothers and sisters. In school, children learn different subjects. But have you ever thought that a family is the most important school of life? After all, only in a family can one learn to support the weak, to give up something of their own for another person, to truly care for loved ones, and to act in a way that does not hurt anyone. This is important for each of us and even for the saints. We will tell how family became a school of Christian life for Blessed Paisius of Athos, and then the monastery became a family for him.
