When the young spouses visited the prep. Seraphim in Sarov, he talked with Pelagia for a long time, gave her rosary and said: "Go, mother, immediately to my monastery, save my orphans, and you will be light to the world." After that, every day she seemed to have been losing her mind every day: she began to run along the streets of Arzamas, screaming ugly, and at night she prayed at the porch of the church. The husband did not understand her feat, beat her and mocked her, riveted the chain. Once, at his request, the mayor brutally punished Pelagia Ivanovna, his mother said: "Her body hung with shreds, blood flooded the whole room, and she at least gasped."
