She bore her blindness and later the loss of the use of her legs with extraordinary patience and joy, spending her life in unceasing prayer and service to those who came to her. She lived through the Russian Revolution and the Soviet period, moving to Moscow in 1925, where she continued her ministry in secret despite the dangers of the atheist regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaint Matrona reposed on May 2, 1952, and was glorified as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1999.
