The priest and psalmist, appointed by the state, lived in church houses that were built in 1891 by parishioners. The parish of the church consisted of Troitskaya and Nikitskaya settlements, in which at the end of the 19th century there were 247 men and 243 women of the Orthodox faith.

People called him Samuel after the death of Hieromonk Samuel from the Nikolsky Monastery, who was very respected by the people. Foolish Misha-Samuel among Pereslavl had a special respect. The feat of foolishness, adopted by him since childhood, made people pay attention to him, especially when he began to predict the future for them. As an 8-year-old child, he predicted a pestilence in his village, albeit in an allegorical symbolic form.

After that, Misha began to move away from his parents to the city more often. Misha, having left his parents, 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. Kind people treated him to food, clothes and shelter. People often turned to him for advice in difficult life situations.

Today the Holy Trinity is the courtyard of the Nikitsky Monastery. A chapel was erected over the grave of the holy fool Misha.

Vladimir Elkhovskoy recalled: “There was a holy fool in our city - Misha Samuil (for which he was given a middle name, I don’t know), a person so popular in the city that the bookseller Ivan Vasilyevich Bykov, releasing a series of Pereslavl species, considered himself obliged to release and a postcard with the image of Misha Samuil. Misha went barefoot both in winter and summer, with his head open, covered only by a cap of curly hair. The doors of all city houses were open to him, and he was famous as a seer and soothsayer. He spoke abruptly, abruptly. Once dad went to Eliseev's bakery and confectionery. There were a lot of people there, and Misha Samuil was standing at the counter among them. Seeing dad, Misha got worried and muttered abruptly: “Whose priest? Whose pop? He was told to. Misha looked at papa again and wept bitterly, covered his face with his hands and left the bakery. Dad later said that this episode had a very unpleasant effect on him, since he had already heard about Misha. A couple of days after this meeting, Lidochka (Vladimir Elkhovsky's sister) fell ill with croup and died. Misha Samuil died in 1908 near the city, in Troitskaya Otkhozhaya Slobodka, he was buried with great honor, with a large gathering of people and city clergy.

On February 23, 1907, the ascetic holy fool Misha-Samuil, the son of a peasant, died in Troitskaya Slobodka. Yam. He is buried here at the church. His full name, patronymic and surname is Mikhail Vasilyevich Lazarev. The name Samuel was given to him by the people since the death of the respected hieromonk of the Nikolsky Monastery Samuel. Misha was tall, with curly hair and a white beard, his face was distinguished by mobility, dark gray eyes sometimes lit up with a joyful gleam. In winter and summer, he dressed invariably: an apron under a short jacket, red cuffs on his hands, in his left hand a skullcap, in which his admirers put a monetary contribution; supports on the legs. Among the citizens of Pereslavl and its environs, he gained special respect. The feat of foolishness, adopted even in childhood, involuntarily forced everyone to pay attention to him, especially when, as it seemed to many, he began to predict the future symbolically and covertly. It was said that, being still an 8-year-old boy, he predicted a pestilence in public in his village and its environs. In the middle of the village, he dug two graves, picked up apples that had not yet ripened, filled the graves with them and fell asleep, and put crosses on them. When the comrades and peasants began to scold him for this, he answered them: "If you don't like it, you'll cry." A week later, he began to carry earth with shovels to the village cemetery. When those around him began to scold and even beat him again, he only said: “If you don’t like it, you’ll cry” ...

And what? In this village, a pestilence soon occurred, which carried away to the grave many human victims that had not matured to old age. Since that time, Misha more and more often began to move away from his parents to the city. First for a day or two, and then completely left them, completely surrendering himself to the will of God, having no shelter, no food, no warm clothes. Having ended all ties with the parental home, Misha spent his whole life wandering around the city and its environs. He often visited Troitskaya Sloboda, where he liked to stay in the house of a wretched legless, equally celibate peasant Simeon Vukolov. Misha did not care about what to eat and what to wear, kind people rewarded him with food, clothing, and shelter. When he walked around the city, people who respected him usually approached him for advice, most often in unfortunate circumstances of life.
Nowadays, the Church of the Holy Trinity is the courtyard of the Nikitsky Monastery. A chapel was built over the grave of Blessed Misha.
