The events described in the book took place at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, but the history of the project itself began in the distant 17th century. Then the treatise "Teraturgim, or Miracles" was published in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the first in Russian history book of the miracles of the Lord. However, since then it was concealed almost four hundred years, and for the first time in Russian it was only released in 2013.
And then three years later a new book of the grandiose miracles of God came to pass. "Teraturgim" in Old Greek "miracles." The book with a noble name, blessed by the saints, is a conversation of God with a man in the language of miracles. Her words make faith visible, build bridges from perpetual peace to perishable. A miracle suddenly opens the coveted door to meet Him Who humbly said: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if anyone hears, My voice opens the door, I come in to him and will sup with him, and He with Me." (Rev. 3:20).
The stories told in the book, experienced by real people, can not be invented by the most brilliant playwrights. For this is the dramaturgy of the Creator of all things, written by the destinies of His creatures. The publication contains evidence of bishops, governors of monasteries, archimandrites, hieromonks, priests, monks and laymen. The testimony of the vicar of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan of Vyshhorod and Chernobyl Paul, is shocking to the depth of his soul about the appearance of the monk of the Monks of the Caves, who saved the monastery from capture in 2014; the testimony of Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II about the appearance of Nicholas the Wonderworker; the story of Metropolitan Arseny, governor of the Svyatogorsk Lavra, about the appearance of Panteleimon the Healer; the story of Archimandrite Gideon (Charon) about the appearance of the Blessed Virgin in the Church of the Tithes in Kiev.
Miracles of this magnitude and strength, as in the new "Teraturgim", even in the ancient Paterikas.
The first part of the book consists of miracles that were in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in our time.
The second part - wonderful and inspiring stories from Orthodox countries and all places of the earth, where the Lord was pleased today to create people His mercy. Orthodox writers from Ukraine, Russia, Greece, Georgia, the Holy Land, England, America, Canada, Germany and other countries participated in the work on the book.
The edition has the neck of the UOC (MP) and comes out with the blessing of His Beatitude Onufrius, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine and His Eminence Paul, Metropolitan of Vyshgorodsky and Chernobyl, Governor of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

Link to the new "Teraturgim ..." caused a huge surge of interest in the network, which was shown by the statistics of views.
