While many Orthodox priests have a severity which makes them seem unapproachable, Father Kronid, abbot of Murom’s Annunciation Monastery, exudes an almost oriental, authoritative calm. This quiet confidence, combined with a youthful freshness of outlook, probably inspired his superiors to give him one of Vladimir Diocese’s most difficult jobs.
Born in 1965 in Vladimir, Kronid was baptized and first went to church at the age of 13, while studying at a Suzdal school for restorers.
