I am an Orthodox inquirer in South Carolina hoping to become a catechumen in the near future. St. Matushka Olga has become important to me. I often ask for her intercession. Thank you for your article, which I read this morning, telling me more about this woman of God whom I have come to love and look up to.

First, I was not having a flashback. I had remembered something terrifying during a therapy session. I was deeply in prayer when The Most Holy Theotokos brought St. Olga to me. Please read the article published in “Jacob’s Well” the diocesian news letter from The OCA for New York and New Jersey, summer of 1997. That has an accurate account of St. Olga’s healing time with me while I was in deep prayer, NOT a TRANCE, please.
