He is generally considered the greatest of the 19th century startsy (elders) and, arguably, the first. He is remembered for extending the monastic teachings of contemplation, theoria and self-denial to the layperson, and taught that the purpose of the Christian life was to acquire the Holy Spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeraphim was glorified (canonized) by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1903. The date of his death is his major feast day.
