Six months after the death of her aunt Lida, Natalia dreamed of Saint Nicholas the Miracle Worker, who healed her spine in the dream with a blessed fire that does not burn, using a huge candle. In the dream, Natalia saw a certain temple. On the temple’s table stood a thousand silver bells – the smallest only a few millimeters, with each subsequent bell larger than the previous one, forming a chain of bells.

Natalia observed the service from a distance, which was led by an elder in a red robe. He approached the table with the silver bells and struck the smallest bell with a small staff. The bell produced a delicate sound and pushed the next bell. In this way, the bells, pushing each other, created an incredibly beautiful chime, which grew in richness as the bells increased in size along the chain. Natalia stood frozen in awe at the extraordinary beauty of the ringing.

At that moment, the elder noticed her. He called her over and asked what was wrong with her spine. Natalia replied that she could not walk. The elder took a huge candle and lit it, asking Natalia to turn her back to him. She understood that he intended to move the candle’s flame along her back. She asked if she would get burned by the flame. The elder answered that it was blessed fire and it would not burn.

Natalia stood quietly. As the elder moved the flame along her back, she felt only warmth and a deep sense of peace. In the dream, she did not recognize the elder who was healing her. The next day after the dream, Natalia felt as if something in her back had been «switched on.» She stood up, walked around – there was no pain, and her spine was straight. Within a week, she was not just walking but running. A week later, Natalia went to Minsk for another session at the institute.

At the Troitsk estate, Natalia and her sister entered a church and saw, opposite the entrance, a huge icon of Saint Nicholas the Miracle Worker in a red robe. Natalia thanked Saint Nicholas for her healing. However, after the incident with the orange, Natalia could not even take a sip of wine without feeling unwell, and the same symptoms would return. This continued for more than ten years.
