Blessed Alypius studied icon painting from Greek icon painters, who in 1083 decorated the great Pechersk Church of St. icons 141. When the wall writing in the Pechersk church was completed: Alypius, a diligent worker in St. In fact, he was tonsured a monk by St. Nikon. An excellent icon painter painted icons for the abbot and the brethren for free. If he heard that icons were dilapidated anywhere in the church, he took them to him and corrected them, but did not demand payment. Never see him idle. Only the divine service, which he did not leave for any work, distracted him from icon painting; and he spent most of the night in prayer and singing psalms. If he happened to receive payment for his work, he used part to buy materials for icon painting, another to give alms to the poor, and the third to his own needs. For his great virtues and pure life, with the approval of the abbot, he was elevated to the rank of priesthood. The presence of God's grace in him was revealed by miraculous deeds. One Kiev resident suffered from leprosy and no medicine helped him. – On the advice of others, but without his own conviction, he came to the Pechersky Monastery for help. The abbot ordered him to drink water from the well of St. Theodosius, and to wet his head with the same water. Because of his lack of faith, the sick man began to boil with stinking scabs, so that they began to run around him. He returned home with grief and was brought to consciousness of his sins by the stench of scabs. Again he went to the monastery and sincerely confessed his sins, as well as his grief, to Alypius. Alipius with paints prepared for St. icons, covered all his scabs. Then he brought him to church, communed the body and blood of the Savior, and washed his scabs with the water that was brought for the liturgy. And all his scabs fell away - he became completely healthy. “A devout Kiev resident, having built a church, wanted to purchase the Deesis 142 icon and several others to decorate it. He instructed two Pechersk monks to order icons for Alypius, no matter what price he demanded, and gave them boards and part of the money. The monks took money from him twice after that, but they did not say a word to Alypius. Having waited a long time for the icons, the Kiev resident persistently demanded them from the monks, and they replied that Alypius, having taken the money, did not want to paint icons. He came with a complaint to the abbot. The summoned Alypius replied that he had not heard a word about the order and had not seen the money. They sent for monks and priests. The dskis turned out to have excellent faces of saints.” Hegumen Nikon expelled the selfish and deceitful monks from the monastery. They turned out to be such bad people that, covering up their dishonest act, they spread throughout Kyiv that the icons were painted by them and that the one who ordered them did not pay them anything for their work, and for their offense they were kicked out of the monastery. The Lord justified and glorified the truth. In a fire, the church in which the icons were placed burned down, but those icons were found intact. Book Vladimir Monomakh, who had heard about the previous incident, heard about the new one, arrived at the place and saw the miracle of God. He reverently took one icon for himself - the icon of the Mother of God and sent it to Rostov, for the church he built. “She still stands here today,” says the reverent Polycarp. I saw her. It happened in my presence in Rostov that the church fell, but the icon remained unharmed. Then she was brought into the wooden church; the church burned down, but the icon remained without damage, so there is no trace of the fire on it” 143. Another pious man ordered Alypius to paint an icon of the Mother of God for the Feast of the Dormition. Alypiy fell ill and could not take up his brush. He came for the icon more than once. Alypius answered: “Trust in God, he will do everything.” The person who ordered it came on the eve of the holiday, but the icon was not ready. “Why didn’t you tell me about your illness?” the one who ordered the icon spoke with annoyance. “I would commission another icon painter to paint the icon. And now she won’t be there for the Feast of the Assumption.” The monk answered: “Don’t be angry, brother! Did this happen because of my negligence? But for God one word is enough, and the holy icon. Virgo will be written. “Now I am leaving this world,” the Lord revealed to me, “but the Lord will comfort you.” When he left in grief, a beautiful young man came to Alypius and began to paint an icon. Alypius himself thought that the angry gentleman must have sent another icon painter. But three hours later the icon was ready and the writer asked: “was there a mistake in the icon”? Alypius replied: “It’s well written, God helped you.” By evening, the writer disappeared with the icon. The person who ordered it did not sleep all night from tears, grieving that the holiday icon was not ready for the holiday. Rising for Matins, he was the first to come to the church and was struck by amazement: the icon, dear to him, was ready, standing still. The God-loving husband then came to the abbot and told everything that had happened. Together they went to Alypius and found him already dying. However, the abbot asked him: who would paint the image? “I had a young man,” said Alypius, but I think he was an angel: he wrote so quickly and disappeared; however, now he stands before me.” And with these words he gave up his spirit to God. So says the blessed one. Polycarp. According to the RCP. Saints Rev. Alypius died on August 17, and this is in accordance with the narrative of Polycarp. Silverst Kossov wrote in 1635 that the memory of St. Alipia is celebrated on August 17, 144. It is believed that the monk lived until 1114; his relics rest openly in the Anthony caves 145. On his right hand, his first three fingers are folded completely evenly, and the last two are bent in the palm of his hand: a denunciation of new superstitions! One icon of St. Alypia, known by the name: “The queen appeared at your right hand,” now stands in the iconostasis of the Moscow Assumption Cathedral, the robe of the heavenly queen is decorated luxuriously; coloring is similar to mosaic 146. The icon of the Mother of God, transferred by Monomakh to Rostov, now stands in the iconostasis of the stone Rostov Cathedral. It darkened not so much from the candle smoke as from the breath of those who applied to it: it was carried to distant places in religious processions 147 . † On the same day, memory of St. Philip Jankowski According to the RCP. saints, "pr. Philip was on the Sukhona River, a new miracle worker.” Rev. Филипп несколько лет подвизался отшельнически на Янковой горе, в 2 верстах от Устюга. Набожные устюжане, уважая жизнь его и желая видеть вблизи обитель молитвенников, выпросили дозволение построить на месте его пребывания обитель. – В 1654 г. построен был храм в честь иконы – знамения Богоматери, с приделом во имя вновь прославленного святителя Филиппа . Под руководством опытного в духовной жизни отшельника собрались ревнители благочестия: но преподобный не принял на себя сана и скончался иноком ок. 1662 The relics of St. Philip are buried under cover in the church of his monastery 148. On the same day St. much Mirona Св. Мирон, пресвитер из Ахаии, схвачен был в день Рождества Христова во время священнослужения, пытан был железом и огнем, и наконец обезглавлен 251 года, в гонение Декия. Celebration of the Svensky Icon of St. Mother of God The intercession of the Mother of God for the sake of her Svenskaya icon is credited with repeatedly saving Bryansk from the invasion of enemies. In 1812, when hordes of the French were rushing to Bryansk, the inhabitants of it and its environs made a religious procession around the city with the miraculous Svensk Icon of the Mother of God, asking her for the intercession of the city, and were soon consoled by the news that the troops marching to Bryansk had been returned. In gratitude for delivering Bryansk from ruin, its residents in 1815 arranged a golden robe with things for the miraculous Svenskaya icon of the Mother of God, and an annual religious procession was established around the city with St. icon of August 17.
