... Send me some little keepsake: a spoon, or a bowl, or some such thing. Or have you nothing of your own either? My poor dear fathers! Well, bear it, for Christ's sake! So be it! For I am rich: I have fish and milk aplenty, by the grace of Christ and the mercy of the Most Pure Mother of God and the prayers of all the saints. Amen.

*Archpriest Avvakum, Letter to the Fathers in Pomorye»*
