This classic work of Russian spirituality tells of an anonymous peasant's quest for the secret of prayer. The Pilgrim searches high and low to know what St. Paul meant when he instructed fellow Christians to 'pray continuously.' Roam the 19th century, humbly seeking truth and finding joy in abundance while joining the happy wanderer, who holds only a knapsack and a few crusts of bread, yet finds goodness aplenty wherever he goes.
