The prophetic painting of the recluse monk The hermit monk Monk Lavr (in the world Alexander Tregubov), who lived for many years as a hermit, is known to the whole world today thanks to the prophetic picture created by him in 2016.
True, they started talking about her only when the coronavirus pandemic claimed many lives. The uniqueness of this picture is that it warned of various seemingly unrelated events: the split of the Orthodox churches, Turkish military aggression, a terrible epidemic.
The creator of the picture is not a professional artist. He writes only by inspiration. Images come from the outside and are located on the canvas as his inner voice tells him.
“My paintings,” says Alexander, “are a reminder to people mired in sins, vanity and money-grubbing that there is another side to life, pure and bright. And the Lord asks everyone to remember this. If humanity does not come to its senses, it will have a difficult future - wars, pestilence and depravity. At first I myself could not comprehend the meaning of what I created. Understanding came later and now I can explain everything that is hidden from a superficial look.
Thus, the crescent moon and the crow sitting on it mean a clear aggression emanating from Turkey. The church under the crescent is a disunity affecting universal Orthodoxy. Red apples scattered in the snow symbolize the coronavirus, and their color is a direct reference to the PRC. To understand this, just imagine the flag of the People's Republic of China. The lock and key indicate self-isolation, which prohibits people from leaving their homes for fear of spreading a dangerous infection.
“I,” the monk Laurus continues, “I want to convey to everyone the meaning of God's message: we, people, like small children, have forgotten how to distinguish black from white, and good from bad, and we do not do what God expects of us. People need to be spiritually reborn, to become sincere in relation to God and more merciful to each other, and also to try to get rid of habits that are destructive to the soul and body.
