She ( Queen ) continued to see the late Rasputin as the embodiment of Orthodoxy’s primordial truth and virtue. . . . Devout and prayerful, she could not fail to notice that her prayers brought no improvement in her son's condition. The medical emergencies recurred, and he could easily die at any time. This was why Rasputin became so important to her, as Pierre Gilliard was to recall:

“Then when she gained acquaintance with Rasputin she was convinced that if she were to turn to him during Alexei Nikolaevich’s illness, he would live. Her son would live. Alexei Nikolaevich would somehow be better. Call it coincidence if you like but the facts of togetherness with Rasputin and alleviation of Alexei Nikolaevich’s illness did coincide.” ~ Page 41
