 And so begins the story of a humble pilgrim living in 19th century Russia, around the time of the Crimean War. On a particular Sunday, he hears the words of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, commanding them to "pray without ceasing." Greatly curious as to what this means, he begins roaming the land searching for the answer.What follows is a deep-dive into Orthodox Christian spirituality, as the pilgrim meets and learns from all kinds of people, from hermit ascetics, to Army captains, to rich landowners. All the while, he keeps in his heart a constant yearning for God, as he learns the secrets of inner prayer. Many miraculous occurrences happen to him during his travels, some of which he performs.The Way of a Pilgrim could best be described, not as fiction and not as non-fiction, but as a parable. The story is told over the course of four tales, or narratives, followed by three narratives called The Pilgrim Continues His Way, which are usually printed in the same volume. The original author is unknown, but supposedly Archimandrite Michael Kozlov wrote the first four tales with the title "The Seeker of Unceasing Prayer", while hieromonk Arsenius Troyepolsky wrote the latter three.The Way of a Pilgrim contains examples of:
