St. Misha was born into a peasant family in the village of Yam, Pereslavl in 1848. The name "Samuel" was added by the people as a monastic person, for his strict virginal life. From childhood, Misha took upon himself the foolishness. At the age of eight, he predicted a plague on people in his village, and the peasants demanded to expel him. He was sheltered in his cell by the hieromonk of the Nikolsky Monastery Samuil, who became the spiritual father of the boy. Misha spent his whole life wandering around the city and its environs. He often visited Troitskaya Sloboda , where he liked to visit the house of the legless peasant Simeon Vukolov. When Misha walked around the city, people who respected him came up for advice. Often, before someone's death, Misha was seen crying at the gate of the house in which the deceased should be. It was considered a good omen if he demanded something edible from a merchant. All the money that Misha donated, he brought as a gift to God or distributed to the poor. For the most part, he put money in a mug near the church of St. Prince Andrew, in the chapel of St. Daniel, in a cathedral mug, in Sergievskaya, in Troitsko-Slobodskaya and in Nikitskaya chapel. In February 1907, Misha fell ill. In the last days of his life, the nuns from the Nikolsky Monastery went to take care of the sick Misha . He died on February 23, 1907. His feast day is on March 8.
