Mother Maria (Skobtsova) - Holiness without Borders

She was born in Riga on December 8, 1891, and was a person of her time, an heir of European culture, an idealist with romantic notions of "equality and brotherhood on earth." But when the revolutionary utopia led to a terrible reality, Mother Maria turned to boundless Christianity. She wrote a lot about the destiny of Russia and its future. The voice and creative legacy of the nun still resonate today.
