Kur Car Aleksandri i Par\u00eb mb\u00ebrriti n\u00eb manastirin e Sh\u00ebn Aleksandrit t\u00eb Svirit p\u00ebr t\u00eb takuar asket\u00ebt, ata iu p\u00ebrgjigj\u00ebn me fjal\u00ebt m\u00eb t\u00eb shkurtra. Plaku Teodor madje refuzoi t\u00eb jepte nj\u00eb bekim, duke shpjeguar se ai nuk ishte nj\u00eb murg i shuguruar. Osh\u00ebnar Leonidas i ardhsh\u00ebm lindi n\u00eb Kara\u00e7ev, provinc\u00ebn Orlov, n\u00eb 1768, me emrin laik Leon Nagolkin. Si i ri ai punoi p\u00ebr nj\u00eb tregtar dhe udh\u00ebtonte shpesh p\u00ebr biznesin e pun\u00ebdh\u00ebn\u00ebsit t\u00eb tij. Ai takoi njer\u00ebz nga t\u00eb gjitha sferat e jet\u00ebs dhe kjo p\u00ebrvoj\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb e ndihmoi t\u00eb k\u00ebshillonte besimtar\u00eb nga prejardhje t\u00eb ndryshme. Ai hyri p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb n\u00eb Manastirin e Optin\u00ebs n\u00eb 1797, por q\u00ebndroi atje vet\u00ebm dy vjet. M\u00eb pas ai shkoi n\u00eb Manastirin e Shk\u00ebmbit t\u00eb Bardh\u00eb n\u00eb dioqez\u00ebn e Orlofit, ku ishte igumen hieromonku Vasilios Kiskin. Ai e b\u00ebri murg n\u00eb 1811 dhe i vuri emrin Leonidas. N\u00eb dhjetor t\u00eb po atij viti shugurohet dhjak dhe m\u00eb pas plak. Ngritja e At Leonid\u00ebs ishte jasht\u00ebzakonisht e shpejt\u00eb, pasi shembulli i tij i n\u00ebnshtrimit t\u00ebrhoqi v\u00ebmendjen e epror\u00ebve t\u00eb tij. N\u00eb 1804, vet\u00ebm pes\u00eb vjet pas mb\u00ebrritjes s\u00eb tij n\u00eb Shk\u00ebmbin e Bardh\u00eb, peshkopi Dorotheu i Orlovit dhe Svensk e em\u00ebroi at\u00eb pasardh\u00ebsin e At Vasilit si abat. Para se t\u00eb merrte detyrat e tij t\u00eb reja, ai kaloi disa koh\u00eb n\u00eb Manastirin e \u00c7olnsk, ku u takua me kryemurgun Theodhori, nj\u00eb dishepull i Sh\u00ebn Paisi Velikovskit. Nga Kara\u00e7evi vinte edhe At Theodhori, rreth dhjet\u00eb vjet m\u00eb i madh. N\u00ebn drejtimin e tij, Leonidas m\u00ebsoi shum\u00eb p\u00ebr betejat shpirt\u00ebrore dhe marrjen e hirit t\u00eb Frym\u00ebs s\u00eb Shenjt\u00eb. Ai u trishtua kur iu desh t\u00eb ndahej me plakun e tij t\u00eb urt\u00eb, por ndarja ishte jet\u00ebshkurt\u00ebr, sepse At Theodhori u zhvendos n\u00eb White Rock n\u00eb 1855. Bisedat e tyre t\u00eb shpeshta u b\u00ebn\u00eb shkak p\u00ebr p\u00ebrparim edhe m\u00eb t\u00eb madh shpirt\u00ebror. Kur m\u00eb von\u00eb At Theodhori uroi p\u00ebr paqe, ai u vendos n\u00eb nj\u00eb qeli pran\u00eb manastirit, s\u00eb bashku me dishepullin e tij Kleopa. At Leonidas dha dor\u00ebheqjen si abat n\u00eb 1888 dhe u bashkua me ta. Ndoshta n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb koh\u00eb ai mori form\u00ebn e madhe dhe engj\u00ebllore n\u00ebn emrin e Leos. Reputacioni i asket\u00ebve u p\u00ebrhap shpejt dhe shum\u00eb vizitor\u00eb erdh\u00ebn p\u00ebr t\u00eb k\u00ebrkuar k\u00ebshilla. Duke qen\u00eb se kjo l\u00ebvizje pengonte ndeshjet e tyre, ata vendos\u00ebn t\u00eb zhvendoseshin n\u00eb vende m\u00eb t\u00eb izoluara. At Theodhori u largua i pari dhe Mitropoliti Ambrosios i Sh\u00ebns Petroupoli e d\u00ebrgoi n\u00eb Skete n\u00eb ishullin Palei. Tet\u00ebmb\u00ebdhjet\u00ebqind e dymb\u00ebdhjet\u00eb shkuan n\u00eb Sket\u00ebn e t\u00eb gjith\u00eb Shenjtor\u00ebve t\u00eb Manastirit Valaam, ku Leonidas dhe Kleopa shpejt iu bashkuan atij. Pasi hieroglifi Kleopa e zuri gjumi, t\u00eb dy miqt\u00eb u zhvendos\u00ebn n\u00eb Manastirin e Sh\u00ebn Aleksandrit t\u00eb Svirit. Atje ata u vizituan nga Cari dhe oligologjia e tyre u konsiderua si nj\u00eb shenj\u00eb posht\u00ebrimi. At Theodhori e zuri gjumi m\u00eb 7 prill 1822, dit\u00ebn e Zoodochos Pigi, duke e l\u00ebn\u00eb Leonid\u00ebn vet\u00ebm. Pasi plaku i tij ra n\u00eb gjum\u00eb, At Leonidas u t\u00ebrhoq me dishepujt e t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtit mendim n\u00eb nj\u00eb vend m\u00eb t\u00eb qet\u00eb. Sh\u00ebn Moisiu e ftoi n\u00eb Optin\u00eb dhe ai e pranoi k\u00ebt\u00eb ftes\u00eb, megjith\u00ebse i sugjeruan edhe manastire t\u00eb tjera. Por ai u detyrua t\u00eb q\u00ebndronte n\u00eb Manastirin e Svirit edhe p\u00ebr pes\u00eb vjet t\u00eb tjera dhe n\u00eb prill 1829 ai m\u00eb n\u00eb fund mb\u00ebrriti n\u00eb Optin\u00eb me gjasht\u00eb nga dishepujt e tij. Atij iu dha nj\u00eb qeli n\u00eb Sket\u00eb, af\u00ebr bletaris\u00eb dhe u gjet\u00ebn qeli edhe p\u00ebr shoq\u00ebruesit e tij. Ardhja e tij sh\u00ebnoi nj\u00eb epok\u00eb t\u00eb re n\u00eb jet\u00ebn e manastirit, pasi ai futi institucionin e drejtimit t\u00eb pleqve. Kjo tradit\u00eb filloi n\u00eb shkret\u00ebtirat e Egjiptit dhe Palestin\u00ebs, kaloi n\u00eb malin Athos dhe arriti n\u00eb Rusi. Leonidas u m\u00ebsua nga At Theodhori, nj\u00eb nx\u00ebn\u00ebs i Sh\u00ebn Paisi Velitkovskit. N\u00ebp\u00ebrmjet tij dhe dishepullit t\u00eb Agios Makarios, tradita gerontiste u vendos p\u00ebrfundimisht n\u00eb Optin\u00eb. E gjith\u00eb jeta e manastirit u riorganizua dhe asgj\u00eb e r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme nuk u b\u00eb pa mendimin dhe bekimin e plakut. \u00c7do nat\u00eb v\u00ebllez\u00ebrit vinin tek ai dhe i zbulonin mendimet, fjal\u00ebt dhe veprat e dit\u00ebs. Urt\u00ebsia dhe k\u00ebshilla e Sh\u00ebn Leonid\u00ebs u b\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb njohura p\u00ebrtej kufijve t\u00eb Optin\u00ebs. Njer\u00ebz nga qytetet dhe fshatrat, nga t\u00eb gjitha shtresat shoq\u00ebrore, u dynd\u00ebn n\u00eb manastir duke k\u00ebrkuar ndihm\u00ebn e tij. Me p\u00ebrvoj\u00ebn q\u00eb kishte fituar nga praktika tridhjet\u00ebvje\u00e7are, ai ua sh\u00ebroi plag\u00ebt shpirt\u00ebrore dhe u ngush\u00ebllonte n\u00eb \u00e7do dhimbje. Shum\u00eb her\u00eb jepte edhe sh\u00ebrim fizik, duke i lyer t\u00eb s\u00ebmur\u00ebt me vaj nga qiriri q\u00eb digjej vazhdimisht p\u00ebrball\u00eb figur\u00ebs s\u00eb Hyjlind\u00ebs s\u00eb Vladimirit n\u00eb qeli. N\u00eb 1834, At Makarios Ivanov, i cili e njihte Leonid\u00ebn q\u00eb nga viti 1828, erdhi n\u00eb Optin\u00eb nga Ploschansk. Ai kishte qen\u00eb dishepull i nj\u00eb plaku me origjin\u00eb nga brezi i Sh\u00ebn Paisiut dhe pas vdekjes s\u00eb tij iu lut Zotit t'i d\u00ebrgonte nj\u00eb udh\u00ebrr\u00ebfyes t\u00eb ri shpirt\u00ebror. N\u00eb Optin\u00eb ajo e ndihmoi me korrespondenc\u00ebn dhe kujdesin e atyre q\u00eb erdh\u00ebn. Pas nj\u00eb mij\u00eb e tet\u00ebqind e tridhjet\u00eb e gjasht\u00eb ai u b\u00eb babai shpirt\u00ebror i manastirit, megjith\u00ebse e konsideronte veten zero, duke iu n\u00ebnshtruar gjithmon\u00eb me g\u00ebzim Leonid\u00ebs. Plaku i tregoi respekt At Makarios, por n\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjt\u00ebn koh\u00eb e testoi. Ai kishte parasysh m\u00ebsimin e Sh\u00ebn Joaniit t\u00eb Klimakut, se udh\u00ebrr\u00ebfyesi shpirt\u00ebror humbet rrog\u00ebn e tij kur nuk korrigjon ata q\u00eb jan\u00eb n\u00ebn mbrojtjen e tij. Prandaj ai i dha Macarius shum\u00eb mund\u00ebsi p\u00ebr t\u00eb fituar kuror\u00ebn e durimit, n\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00eb q\u00eb t\u00eb tjer\u00ebt t\u00eb p\u00ebrfitonin nga shembulli i p\u00ebrul\u00ebsis\u00eb s\u00eb tij. Nj\u00eb dit\u00eb Makarios u thirr nga abati Moisiu p\u00ebr t'u b\u00ebr\u00eb sponsor p\u00ebr disa v\u00ebllez\u00ebr n\u00eb Kura. E mori k\u00ebrkes\u00ebn si urdh\u00ebr dhe u p\u00ebrkul n\u00eb heshtje. M\u00eb pas ai shkoi te Leonidas dhe i tregoi ngjarjen, nd\u00ebrsa rreth tij q\u00ebndronin shum\u00eb vizitor\u00eb. Plaku e shikoi me ashp\u00ebrsi dhe e pyeti n\u00ebse ishte dakord tashm\u00eb. Kur ai rr\u00ebfeu se nuk guxonte t\u00eb refuzonte, Leonidasi ngriti z\u00ebrin dhe e qortoi sikur t\u00eb ishte v\u00ebrtet i zem\u00ebruar. Makarios vazhdimisht p\u00ebrkulej dhe k\u00ebrkonte falje, nd\u00ebrsa t\u00eb pranishmit mbet\u00ebn t\u00eb mahnitur. Kur m\u00eb n\u00eb fund k\u00ebrkoi bekimin p\u00ebr t\u00eb refuzuar, plaku u p\u00ebrgjigj se ishte e pamundur, pasi \u00e7\u00ebshtja ishte rregulluar tashm\u00eb. Nga ana tjet\u00ebr, Leonidas i tregoi Makarios dashuri dhe vler\u00ebsim, duke i besuar atij pun\u00ebn e tij dhe duke e b\u00ebr\u00eb at\u00eb ndihm\u00ebs dhe partner. Ndikimi i tij shpirt\u00ebror u p\u00ebrhap p\u00ebrtej Optin\u00ebs dhe ai vendosi tradit\u00ebn e t\u00eb moshuarve n\u00eb dy manastire t\u00eb tjera t\u00eb dioqez\u00ebs s\u00eb Kaluga. N\u00eb tre manastira, Belev, Sevsk dhe Borisov, disa nga nx\u00ebn\u00ebset e tij shkuan aq larg sa u b\u00ebn\u00eb plaka p\u00ebr motrat e tjera. Mir\u00ebpo, midis viteve 1835 dhe 36 shp\u00ebrtheu nj\u00eb persekutim i ashp\u00ebr kund\u00ebr institucionit t\u00eb pleq\u00ebsis\u00eb n\u00eb Optin\u00eb. Ata q\u00eb nxit\u00ebn ankesat ishin njer\u00ebz t\u00eb paarsimuar q\u00eb e trajtuan tradit\u00ebn e vjet\u00ebr si modernitet. Edhe disa murgj protestuan te peshkopi, por ata nuk ishin gjithmon\u00eb t\u00eb suksessh\u00ebm. Peshkopi Gavriel Kalougas vizitoi manastirin dhe tregoi favore ndaj igumenit Moisiut. Para gjith\u00eb v\u00ebllaz\u00ebris\u00eb i qortoi keqp\u00ebrdoruesit dhe i urdh\u00ebroi t\u00eb korrigjohen. Megjithat\u00eb, disa murgj vazhduan t\u00eb ankoheshin, duke i d\u00ebrguar raporte peshkopit p\u00ebr shqet\u00ebsimin e shkaktuar nga vizitor\u00ebt. Peshkopi i ri Nikolaos Kalougas fillimisht i injoroi raportet. Por kur mori nj\u00eb shpifje anonime kund\u00ebr dy pleqve, ai urdh\u00ebroi Leonid\u00ebn t\u00eb largohej nga qelia pran\u00eb bletaris\u00eb dhe t\u00eb shkonte n\u00eb manastirin qendror. Gjithashtu e ndaloi t\u00eb priste laik\u00eb, meshkuj apo femra. P\u00ebr shkak se nuk kishte qeli t\u00eb disponueshme n\u00eb manastir, plaku u zhvendos p\u00ebrkoh\u00ebsisht n\u00eb nj\u00eb qeli tjet\u00ebr n\u00eb Skete. N\u00eb nj\u00eb mij\u00eb e tet\u00ebqind e tridhjet\u00eb e gjasht\u00eb erdhi nj\u00eb urdh\u00ebr i ri p\u00ebr t\u00eb shkuar patjet\u00ebr n\u00eb manastir. Abati Moisiu dhe eprori i Skitis Antonios u gjend\u00ebn n\u00eb nj\u00eb pozit\u00eb t\u00eb v\u00ebshtir\u00eb, pasi e dinin pafaj\u00ebsin\u00eb e tij, por duhej t'i bindeshin peshkopit. N\u00eb 1837, Mitropoliti Filaretos i Kievit vizitoi Optin\u00ebn, i shoq\u00ebruar nga peshkopi Nikolaos. Mitropoliti e njihte Leonid\u00ebn nga vitet e tij n\u00eb Shk\u00ebmbin e Bardh\u00eb dhe tregoi respekt publik p\u00ebr t\u00eb dhe Moisiun. Akuzuesit u befasuan dhe vet\u00eb peshkopi Nikolla filloi t'u kushtonte m\u00eb pak v\u00ebmendje ankesave. K\u00ebshtu q\u00eb pozita e plakut filloi t\u00eb p\u00ebrmir\u00ebsohej gradualisht. N\u00eb vitet e fundit t\u00eb jet\u00ebs s\u00eb tij, Leonidas p\u00ebrballoi nj\u00eb sprov\u00eb t\u00eb re, k\u00ebt\u00eb her\u00eb p\u00ebr f\u00ebmij\u00ebt e tij shpirt\u00ebror\u00eb n\u00eb Belef. Murgeshat atje jetonin n\u00ebn drejtimin e plak\u00ebs Anthia, e cila kishte p\u00ebrparuar n\u00ebn t\u00eb moshuar\u00ebn. Abbesa Epafrodita u g\u00ebzua kur pa se si Anthia dhe t\u00eb af\u00ebrmit e saj kishin prer\u00eb t\u00eb nj\u00ebjtin vullnet dhe kishin \u00e7rr\u00ebnjosur pasionet. Dashuria e abes\u00ebs p\u00ebr to shkaktoi xhelozin\u00eb e motrave t\u00eb tjera dhe nj\u00ebra prej tyre p\u00ebrhapi histori t\u00eb rreme p\u00ebrmes saj shpirt\u00ebrore. Prifti ishte tashm\u00eb i paragjykuar dhe i indinjuar sepse murgeshat po iknin n\u00eb Leonidas. Ai filloi t\u00eb mbillte shpifje kund\u00ebr plakut, pasi ishte injorant p\u00ebr natyr\u00ebn e tradit\u00ebs s\u00eb pleqve. Duke d\u00ebgjuar thashethemet p\u00ebr nj\u00eb herezi t\u00eb re t\u00eb supozuar, peshkopi Damascene i Tul\u00ebs thirri priftin dhe abatin p\u00ebr t'u marr\u00eb n\u00eb pyetje. Ai u besoi pik\u00ebpamjeve t\u00eb gabuara t\u00eb priftit dhe n\u00eb shkurt 1841 urdh\u00ebroi d\u00ebbimin e Anthis\u00eb dhe nj\u00eb motre tjet\u00ebr nga manastiri. Leonidas u cil\u00ebsua si nj\u00eb ngat\u00ebrrestar dhe i padisiplinuar, por ai duroi gjith\u00e7ka me durim. Ai u urdh\u00ebrua p\u00ebrs\u00ebri t\u00eb linte qelin\u00eb e tij pran\u00eb bletaris\u00eb dhe t\u00eb l\u00ebvizte sa m\u00eb larg nga portat e manastirit. Atij i ndalohej gjithashtu \u00e7do kontakt me vizitor\u00ebt laik\u00eb. M\u00eb n\u00eb fund, Mitropoliti Filaretos i Kievit nd\u00ebrmjet\u00ebsoi te peshkopi i Tul\u00ebs dhe ndihmoi gjithashtu plakun Anthia dhe rrethimin e saj. Edhe Mitropoliti i Mosk\u00ebs Filaret i shkroi Damaskenit, i cili m\u00eb n\u00eb fund e kuptoi se ishte joshur nga zelli jokritik i priftit. Dy motrat e d\u00ebbuara u kthyen n\u00eb manastir m\u00eb 4 tetor 1841, vet\u00ebm nj\u00eb jav\u00eb para se plaku t\u00eb flinte. Sh\u00ebndeti i tij filloi t\u00eb d\u00ebshtonte n\u00eb shtator t\u00eb atij viti dhe ai ishte i s\u00ebmur\u00eb p\u00ebr pes\u00eb jav\u00eb. Ai refuzoi t\u00eb shkonte te mjeku apo t\u00eb merrte ila\u00e7e. Ai mori Eukaristin\u00eb e Shenjt\u00eb m\u00eb pes\u00ebmb\u00ebdhjet\u00eb shtator dhe filloi t\u00eb p\u00ebrgatitej p\u00ebr fundin e tij. Ai u thoshte lamtumir\u00eb v\u00ebllez\u00ebrve q\u00eb vinin tek ai, i bekonte dhe u jepte secilit nga nj\u00eb kujtim, foto ose lib\u00ebr. M\u00eb nj\u00ebzet e tet\u00eb shtator ai mori kungimin dhe k\u00ebrkoi q\u00eb Kanuni t\u00eb lexohej n\u00eb Psychoragunda. V\u00ebllez\u00ebrit u pik\u00eblluan shum\u00eb, por i moshuari u tha se mund t'u duhej ta lexonin shum\u00eb her\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb. N\u00eb t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00eb, u lexua tet\u00eb her\u00eb para se t\u00eb binte n\u00eb gjum\u00eb. Nga nj\u00ebzet e tet\u00eb shtatori deri n\u00eb nj\u00ebmb\u00ebdhjet\u00eb tetor ai nuk mori ushqim, vet\u00ebm pak uj\u00eb. Ajo u mb\u00ebshtet ekskluzivisht nga Misteret jet\u00ebdh\u00ebn\u00ebse t\u00eb Krishtit. N\u00eb dy jav\u00ebt e fundit t\u00eb jet\u00ebs s\u00eb tij ai mori kungimin dymb\u00ebdhjet\u00eb her\u00eb. Pas gjasht\u00eb tetorit, ai nuk mund t\u00eb q\u00ebndronte m\u00eb n\u00eb k\u00ebmb\u00eb dhe iu lut v\u00ebllez\u00ebrve q\u00eb t\u00eb luteshin q\u00eb Zoti t'ia shkurtonte vuajtjet. N\u00eb m\u00ebngjesin e nj\u00ebmb\u00ebdhjet\u00eb tetorit 1841, ai mori Misteret e Pap\u00ebrlyera dhe u vizitua nga Krishti i Bekuar Vasilios Bragouzin, i cili e kishte ndjer\u00eb gjumin e tij dhe kishte udh\u00ebtuar mbi nj\u00ebqind e tet\u00ebdhjet\u00eb kilometra p\u00ebr ta larguar. N\u00eb dhjet\u00eb t\u00eb m\u00ebngjesit, plaku filloi t\u00eb kryq\u00ebzohej dhe t\u00eb p\u00ebshp\u00ebriste lavd\u00ebrime. Ai m\u00eb von\u00eb tha se m\u00ebshira e Zotit do t\u00eb ishte me t\u00eb. Nj\u00eb or\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb ai u mbush me g\u00ebzim p\u00ebrkund\u00ebr dhimbjeve dhe fytyra iu ndri\u00e7ua.
