Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was not religious, but he always paid great attention to the place of Orthodoxy in the life of the people and each individual. Even in 1904, the famous philosopher and theologian Sergey Bulgakov asserted that in Chekhov's work "the quest for faith, the longing for a higher meaning of life, the restless anxiety of the Russian soul and its troubled conscience are vividly reflected." This collection includes stories by the writer, written in different years, but in which religious motifs can be traced to varying degrees, among them: "On Passion Week," "A Case from Practice," and "Bishop."
