The Vicar of Halliste

Kalev Raave (1926-2004) was a journalist, a functionary of the Estonian Communist Party, head of Võrtsjärve collective farm and Otepää sovkhoz and head of the Youth Theatre. When he was 62 years old, he became a church minister. With his rich life experience and natural kindness, Kalev Raave won people's hearts and he started to restore Halliste church in Viljandi county, Estonia. He had experienced numerous miracles in his life. Miracle perception was one of the possible connections with God for Kalev Raave - without a miracle one won't be able to perceive the otherworldly.
