Divine Guidance on the Battlefield
Dmitry Donskoy sought a blessing from Sergius of Radonezh not only as a spiritual mentor but also as a symbol of divine support before a decisive battle. This act held profound religious and symbolic meaning at the time. Asking for a blessing underscored the prince’s belief that victory in battle depended not only on martial valor but also on the supreme will and support of the One God, which the elder could transmit.
