Changes

[[Image:Paisius.jpg|thumb|18th-century portrait of St . Paisius of Neamt.]]Our venerable father '''Paisius Velichkovsky''' , also '''Paisius of Neamt''', led the renaissance in Orthodox [[monasticism]] in the late eighteenth century, helping the Church recover from the decline in monastic life and spirituality caused by the troubles and conflicts of the previous centuries. His effort was centered on the spirituality of the [[hesychasm|hesychastic]] tradition, which was expressed in the popularity of counseling by [[starets]] (elders) in nineteenth-century Russia. His [[feast]] is celebrated on [[November 15]].
