7. Healing Powers

Many believe that Rasputin had the power to heal people. The Tsars only son, Alexei, had hemophilia and the Tsar and his family believed that Rasputin was able to stop his bleeding. This gave Rasputin even more influence over the family and he was soon considered to be an independent member of the family’s entourage.

One night, when Alexei was ill, a message was sent to Rasputin who was in Siberia at the time to ask him for his help. Alexei was seriously ill at the time and appeared to be close to death but, after Rasputin was asked to pray for him, Alexei recovered shortly afterward. How or why Alexei was able to recover has not yet been explained.
