Igumen Gavrilo recounts mother's witness of blasphemer struck by lightning

Igumen Gavrilo Raletinački relates a story his mother told throughout her life. As a young girl returning from garden work, she passed a construction site where a worker had returned for a forgotten bag. The man was furious and cursed God extensively. On a clear, calm, sunny day without any storm warning, a single lightning bolt struck and killed him instantly.

The few witnesses, including the narrator's mother, were left frozen in shock and fear. The experience left his mother with a lasting horror of blasphemy, particularly cursing directed at God. The account is presented as a firsthand testimony meant to warn against the sin of blasphemy.
