30-е

Saints Alexander, John and Paul, Patriarchs of Constantinople Alexander, one of the presbyters, became an assistant to the elderly Mitrofan (June 4), bishop of Byzantium, and already in the rank of bishop was present, as his representative, at the first ecumenical council. After the death of Mitrofan (326), he occupied the throne for 13 years and died in 340. During his time, Byzantium became the capital of the empire and was renamed Constantinople. John the Faster died in 595; about him 2 Sep. St. Paul ruled the Church for four years and six months, from February 20. 780 to 30 Aug. 784, when he refused and retired to the monastery of St. Flora, where he soon died. He strongly urged Empress Irene to restore the veneration of icons and pointed to St. Tarasiya, as his successor. † Memory of Serbian saints On the 30th day of August, the Serbian Church glorifies its teachers, glorified by the Lord, Archbishops Sava 2 and Nicodemus, Patriarchs Ioannikios, Ephraim, Spyridon, Macarius and Gabriel, of whom the latter was awarded martyrdom 288. Successor to St. Arsenia Savva 2 was the youngest son of the first-crowned King Stephen and the nephew of the great Savva. Predslav, as he was called in the world among the Serbs, became jealous of following in the footsteps of St. his uncle, he accepted monasticism in his youth. He went to Jerusalem and lived there for quite some time; then he labored on Mount Athos. He had to suffer a lot of troubles from hunters to live at someone else's expense. Upon his return to his homeland, Bl. Arseny, feeling his old age and serious illness, dedicated him as his successor. In the rank of high priest, he imitated the life of his predecessors. His favorite virtue was meekness 289. With the name of St. Savva he rests in the Pek monastery, near St. Arsenia 290. The Serbian Church sings to him: “from the root of the good, the good branch has grown, we have watered God’s mind with waters, and thus the fragrant fruit has appeared through life from youth, gladdening the hearts and souls of those who sing to you” 291. In front of the iconostasis of the Pech church, on the left side, there is a shrine with the relics of St. Nicodemus, Archbishop of Serbia, the great wonderworker 292. Blazh. Nicodemus, a natural Serb, labored as a fast on Mount Athos and was the abbot of Hilandar. After the death of Sava 3, Serbia declared its desire to see Nicodemus as its high priest; He did not want to part with the quiet desert, but the Athonite fathers convinced him not to abandon the calling of the Church. Therefore, “they dedicated him on the day of the Ascension of the Lord and elevated him to the throne of St. Savva has been greeting for many years saying: “To the Most Reverend Archbishop Nicodemus of all Serbian and Pomeranian lands, many years will come,” this is what a contemporary says 293. This was in 1317 294. Blessed at the grave. cor. Milyutin was raised in a bloody riot by the followers of Simonides; the energetic archpastor stopped the bloodshed and robbery. Then in Jan. 1321 he crowned Milyutinov's eldest son as king, regardless of the queen's party 295. The zealous patriot was a zealous guardian of the affairs of St. faith. In the preface to his translation in 1319. he writes to the charter that while he was in Constantinople, while still in the rank of abbot, he asked the Patriarch of Jerusalem about the church charter for his concern “to unite, according to the word of the God-bearing brother, the whole of the whole earth”: then, being an archbishop, “he sent, he says, to the royal city to the monastery of St. Forerunner and baptist John, and quickly brought this type of Jerusalem and translated it into our language from the writing of the Greek language... If there is something against our might, let us move this one to be vigilant and sober. to the praise of God. We are therefore humbled, brethren, by the nature and custom of Plicity: good is the giver and giver of deeds, the almighty God, know our weakness, and give us spiritual strength, or else we will show you more work” 296. – A wonderful lesson about the matter of our salvation! In 1324, by order of the saint, Monk Damian wrote in the Peć monastery an apostle, which has survived to this day, and before that a paraclitic and an octoichus, now unknown 297. Bogomilov-Babunov's high priest persecuted denunciations and put them on trial as harmful to society and the church 298. The blessed archpastor, who sincerely loved monastic life and contributed to its prosperity in Serbia 299, wrote a letter to the effect that the Serbian archbishops of Hilandar would not forget the typica of St. Savva, and eloquently described the life of St. Sava, this was the dying will of the Hilandar ascetic and archbishop of all Serbia 300. Blazh. Ioannikiy ruled the Church from 1339, first in the rank of archbishop, and then in 1346 the Serbian council, consisting of the Bulgarian patriarch and all Serbian archpastors, at the request of the thief. Dushan, proclaimed him patriarch; the patriarch then crowned Dushan with the royal crown 301. Blazh. Ioannikiy had to have a lot of high qualities in order to have influence on Dushan. Dushan was an intelligent, energetic ruler, but sometimes violent in fits of passion 302; he was not as bad as the Greeks who were angry with him portrayed him: he passionately loved not only his own glory, but also the glory of the name of Christ: this is shown by his completed prayer to the victorious George 303! But having influence over such a person is a difficult feat. Blazh. Ioannikiy influenced Dushan to protect the peace of Orthodoxy and called Dushan to do good to the Church 304. So in 1348 “with the blessing of the Lord Patriarch, Cyprus. Ioannikis and the whole assembly” was given a charter to the Prizren Monastery of the Archangels, with the granting of many lands. And in the same year, Dushan issued a charter for the Jerusalem church of Arch. Mikhail, built by E. Milyutin; The church of St. was assigned to the latter in that church. Nikolai Vraninsky with all the villages, lands and settlers. - This was all possible help for Orthodoxy, after Dushan had the imprudence to cancel the decrees of his father and grandfather on Orthodoxy in Ragusa; the consequence of the abolition was the persecution of Orthodoxy in the republic; Orthodox monks were forced to retire to Jerusalem and now help has been provided for them 305. Before his monastic life, the blessed one. Ioannikios, born in the capital Prizren, served under the king with the rank of secretary. As he knew the legal customs of his country well, he participated in the drafting of the law and in 1349 approved it at a church council 306. The church honors in St. John's "nourisher of orphans and widows, a mourning comforter, a running helper and a warm intercessor, calling him quickly to listen, autocratic Stephen to mercy and mercy, offering mercy, reconciling those who are opposed" 307. He died in the feat of peacemaking. – Dusan quarreled with the Hungarian king and invited the patriarch to Zhidcza. The Patriarch hurriedly arrived, worked hard to put out the quarrel, and felt very unwell from his efforts. The sick man was carried to the patriarchal monastery and he died on the road, September 3. 1349 308 . Since Dusan's law was compiled under the influence of the great saint and especially his church articles belong without a doubt to the mind and pen of the Serbian high priest: then in honor of the saint and for the general benefit we write out the church articles of the law 309. Art. 1. First of all, you need to keep in mind how to provide for the Christian faith, about churches, about monasteries, about priests. 2. Leaders and other people should not marry without receiving a blessing from their bishop or from their spiritual father or from someone appointed as a bishop. 3. No wedding should take place without a wedding ceremony. If it happens without the blessing and permission of the Church, such people will be separated and put in prison. 4. Everyone must obey the priests and his spiritual father. If anyone turns out to be guilty before the Church or the priest or violates anything, especially a non-Christian by his own will: let him submit to St. Church and will correct what is due. If he does not obey and does not want to correct himself, he should be excommunicated from the Church and punished. 5. Priests should not pronounce curses on Christians for their sins. Let them quietly and meekly invite them for double or triple admonition. If they do not obey: excommunicate from the Church. 6. Those who seduce an Orthodox Christian into Latinism are convinced by the patriarch and metropolitan and bishops with instructions and St. Scripture, so that they return to the Orthodox faith and pure Christianity. If anyone does not submit and does not want to return to Orthodoxy, he will be punished, as prescribed in the law of St. fathers. The pious gift will drive out all heresy from its limits. Whoever does not want to convert: all his property will be taken away from him and given to those who will submit to the Orthodox faith. Heterogeneous heretical priests who turn people away from Orthodoxy are to be caught and sent to the mines and imprisonment. Heretical churches should be consecrated and handed over to Orthodox priests; let them instruct those who are lost to turn to St. faith. 7. The Great Church will install archpriests in cities, towns and villages, so that Christians will multiply, converting from the Latin heresy, where anyone has gone astray. Issue a spiritual commandment so that every Sunday they teach those in church and that every Christian observes the Orthodox, true, law handed down by the apostles and saints. fathers. 8. If a Latin priest seduces a Christian into the Latin faith: subject him to punishment, according to the law of St. fathers. 9 . If a half-believer takes a Christian woman for himself: he, a predator, must convert to Christianity (Orthodoxy); if he does not convert, his wife, children and house are taken away, and he is sent to prison. 10. If a heretic lives secretly with a Christian woman: drive him away, and whoever harbors such a person will subject him to punishment. 11. The saints supply confessors in all regions, in cities and villages, and let those confessors be confessors who have received a blessing from their bishops for clergy, to knit and loosen; Everyone must listen to them, according to church law; and those confessors who are not appointed confessors should be expelled - let the Church punish them according to the law 310. 12. Let a layman not examine spiritual matters; if it turns out that the person who was not appointed judged a church matter, then he pays 300 perpers. – Only the Church judges sins and every church matter. 13. Bishops, metropolitans, abbots should not be appointed for money. Otherwise, the one who installed it is cursed and anathema. Those must be supplied – by the cathedral. Everyone must be judged before his own church. If the disputants belong to two churches: let them seek solutions from both churches. – Church villages and church people should serve their church, and not someone else’s. Let them not go to other people’s churches, neither for haymaking, nor for plowing, nor for the vineyard, nor for any other work, whether small or great. If anyone forces church subjects to do his work, the royal power takes away his estate from that boyar and he is punished as a royal and church criminal. 14. The Bashtina priests use their Bashtina land at their own discretion; they are free people. And those priests who do not have fatherland should be given three fields according to the law, and this priestly land (capa) is free (from taxes) 311; No one should buy or sell a church tower, except in exchange for one close to the church. 15. The priest should not leave his hospodar (landowner). If the ruler does not fulfill what is lawful, the priest goes to the bishop and the bishop lets the master know to support the priest according to the law. If the master does not obey, then the priest can act according to his own will. If the priest is a bashtinnik, the master does not have the right to remove him. 16. If rulers and other people have churches in their Batkovshchina, the tsar and patriarch do not subordinate those churches to the great church. The Bashtinnik has the right to build a church and keep his own kaluger (hieromonk), but must present it to the bishop for the blessing of spiritual authority. If the ruler has subordinated his church to the great church, then he is no longer in power in that church. 21. If a ruler dishonors a bishop or a monk or a priest: he pays 100 perpers and is kept in prison for 40 days, as a scoffer of God. 38. Metropolitans and bishops should not be installed for money. Otherwise, both will be deprived of the throne, both the one who installed it and the one who installed it. 39. Abbots are not removed from the church without guilt. Good and skillful people who want to be builders of the house of God are appointed as abbots of monasteries. Abbots must live in the cenobia according to the law and have conferences with the elders. With a thousand kuk (khat), 50 monks should eat in the monastery. Royal power was transferred to the abbots of the church, they are in charge of the monastery estate, horses, sheep and everything else; they freely dispose of everything, as the truth demands and as it is written in the charters of the teachers. Let them establish the monastic rule for monks in churches, depending on the monastery 312. 40. Bishops should not send lay people after priests; let a prudent monk be sent for them by spiritual grandfathers; and let the church confessor take away what is due from the bashtina. 41. Monks and nuns who, having been tonsured, live in their homes should be expelled; they must live in monasteries. Those monks who took monastic vows from the Bashtiniki should not live near that church, but should go to a monastery 313. 42. A monk who withdraws from monasticism must be locked in prison until he returns to obedience. It is necessary to strictly monitor the monks so that they do not live outside the monastery; Is this already a hermit who, out of love for God, settled in the desert? 43. There are heretics who take dead bodies from coffins and burn them. If such people find themselves somewhere: such a place or village pays for this lawlessness and brings the perpetrators to trial. If a priest took part in this, he is deprived of his dignity and sent to the mines, until death. 44. If anyone sells a Christian to a Gentile, cut off his hand and cut out his tongue. 45. The churches should not be offended by anyone. If the king visits, he is received with honor. 46. The churches are owned only by the king, the holy lord patriarch and the royal logothete, and no one else. The royal government freed all the churches in its region from all work, small and large. 47. All churches must support the poor, and as it should be the first ktitors. The metropolitans and bishops are watching; they gather the poor into the churches so that they may be fed 314. 49. Church people are judged in every matter before their metropolitans, bishops, abbots 315. 55. If anyone hits or kills a bishop or monk or priest: cut off his hand and then hang him 316. 68. If the defendant escapes from prison and comes to the royal or patriarchal court, then he is free. 93. Anyone who eats and drinks with heretics is required to repent, as the Eastern Catholic Church prescribes: but there is no prohibition for prisoners and slaves who eat with Gentiles” 317. These are the laws approved by the blessed one. Ioannikiem for the Serbian Church! Ephraim, son of a priest, modern cor. Milyutin, even in his young years felt an attraction to monastic life 318. His parents wanted to see him married, but he disappeared from their house and, finding the hermit Vasily, began to live with him in fasting and prayer, and soon took a vow of monasticism with him. His parents, having learned about his whereabouts, wanted to take him away from the hermit: but he fled to Athos and hid there in one of the monasteries. During military troubles, Ephraim and his disciples moved to the Ibrovsky Monastery, here he was also abbot, but not for long. Having venerated the shrines of the Patriarchate, he settled in a secluded place near the Decani Monastery and lived here as a strict hermit. After the death of c. Dushan began the unrest of anarchy and then robberies appeared. The hermit Ephraim was beaten half to death by bad people who forced him to share money with them. – Patriarch Savva, successor of St. Joannikia, took the elder to the patriarchate and appointed a cave velia for him; the great faster came to life and recovered here. Thank you Prince Lazar sent an embassy to the Patriarch of Constantinople. with a request to end the disputes that were taking place regarding the Serbian Patriarchate. Peace has been restored with the Greek Church. It was necessary to calmly elect a new patriarch to replace the deceased Savva. But, unfortunately, in Serbia there were quite a few seekers of the patriarchal see. – After a general prayer, the cathedral elected the “Reverend Hermit Ephraim” as patriarch, as adorned with high virtues. Blazh. Ephraim, who did not expect such an election at all and came to the council by chance, wept bitterly and begged to be relieved of his difficult lot. The council answered: the one indicated by God must be dedicated. It was Oct. 3rd 1376 Following this, Ephraim was ordained patriarch and then crowned the prince. Lazar the crown of the Serbian rulers 319. Not in vain, blessed one. Ephraim cried so much that they were conferring a high rank on him. The time was difficult: there was so much unrest in the Church due to the breakdown of civil government. Just as not all regional rulers willingly submitted to the prince. Lazarus: so not all bishops and other clergy showed obedience to Patriarch Ephraim, despite his high spiritual life 320. Accustomed to a quiet, solitary life, burdened by the disorder of affairs, St. Ephraim refused the busy position of ruler of the Serbian church. In 1382 he dedicated Blessed to his place. Spiridon, and he himself began to live in solitude in the Arkhangelsk monastery of Ts. Dushana. The chronicler Amartola is now known, with a postscript: “Written - I tremble the throne of the holiness of the Serbian lands of the Most Reverend. and Patriarch Vir Spyridon, in the house of St. Archangel Michael and Gabriel, under the master teacher, former patriarch, Cyrus Ephraim, - in l. 1387" 321 . The note makes it clear that people of spiritual life highly respected the blessed one. Ephraim and in his solitude, they recognized him as an experienced mentor and teacher and willingly followed his advice. Blazh. Spyridon, who cared about monastic monasteries 322, died in 1388 almost at the same time as Blessed. book Lazarus, who fell on the Kosovo field. According to church songs, Spiridon is a “spiritual tsevnitsa” 323; this suggests that he wrote St. songs for the Serbian church. His relics rest in the church of the Peć monastery 324. Since after the death of Spiridon and Prince. It was an extremely troubled time for Lazarus: they asked the blessed one. Ephraim will again rule the Church until a new patriarch is elected. So he again ruled the Serbian flock for quite some time to the consolation of the best people 325. The wondrous ascetic, meek as an angel, rested 88 years under the successor of P. Daniel, Savva 326. His relics rest in the great patriarchal church 327. In the refectory of the Pech Church, the relics of the Patriarch St. lie hidden. Macaria. The blessed saint cared about the spread of enlightenment in Serbia. During his time, church books were printed in different places: in the Mileshevo Monastery, the following psalter of 1557 328. Prayer book (breviary) in 1545; in Belgrade, the gospel of 1552; in the Merksin Monastery, the gospel of 1562; in Venice prayer book 1557; missal 1554; Lenten triodion 1521 - in Skadar colored triodion 1562 329. It is obvious that the Slavic love for enlightenment is not like the love of Luther, who trampled ancient, apostolic Christianity into the mud and brought his disciples to anti-Christianity 330. - Blessed. the saint, by the grace of God, had the opportunity to do a lot for the Serbian Church and, out of his zeal, did a lot. His brother was the vizier under the Sultan. With his help, he received the Sultan's Hattisheriff for the restoration of monasteries and churches, upset by Mohammedan fanaticism 331. First of all, as naturally, he turned his efforts to the restoration of the ancient patriarchal monastery. He lived his first years in the Mileshevo Monastery 332. Now he was restoring his cathedral monastery. During the renovation of the Holy See of the Serbian Church, says a modern inscription, the huge refectory of the Patriarchate, supported by three marble columns and three brick ones, was built “by the labor and diligence of the Most Reverend and Beatitude Cyrus Macarius the Patriarch - in f. 7070 (1552)" 333. Blazh. Patriarch Gabriel 334 from the noble Serbian house of Raji 335, was the Serbian high priest during very difficult times. Serbian Christians then suffered greatly from the willfulness of Mohammedan fanaticism. In the Octoechos, written in 1639. Mileshevo Monastery, who wrote it said: “Then the need and great persecution will arrive and the crown of Gabriel Hieromonk M. Octovria will receive torment on the 9th day and much torment will arise from the three-clawed Nukh Pasha. And then I expelled the Bostanzhie from the monastery and had no one to cry to. And the king (Murat) went to Bogdad; “Don’t have someone to cry to” 336. For the urgent needs of the department and the country, Blessed. Patriarch Gabriel went to Wallachia for alms and from there came to charitable Moscow. – Here in 1655 he, together with the Patriarch of Antioch, attended a council that was very important for the Slavic churches. – The Council determined to correct church books based on Greek and ancient Slavic books. Archpriest Avvakum, who at the same time rebelled against the decisions of the council, was the main culprit in the destruction of books under the village. Joseph, and his friends, Bishop Pavel of Kolomna and Archpriest Daniel of Murom, were sent to monasteries for repentance 337. The blessed patriarch, who brought several manuscripts and three liturgies printed in the south as a gift to Moscow, received generous alms for Serbia from the good king 338. When, after a long wandering, he returned to Serbia, the patriarchal see turned out to be occupied by another (Maxim). He explained his right to the chair and the unfair appropriation of it to others. - Under Turkish rule, especially then, there was only room for passions. The intrigues of the Jesuits, who were angry with Russia for Khmelnitsky, brought Const. Patriarch Parthenius to martyrdom: he was accused of high treason for intercourse with Russia 339. In the same way, those who were at enmity with the blessed one. Gabriel, acting under the influence of the Jesuits of Austria, where the poor were looking for unattainable happiness 340, reported to the Turkish authorities that Gabriel, a state traitor, lived in Russia. The vizier demanded the blessedness in himself. Gabriel and questioned him in detail about all the circumstances of his journey. When the investigation was completed, the vizier, who fully recognized the inconsistency of the slander, announced to the saint: since you are accused of high treason, according to the laws, as you yourself know, you must be executed by death; but if you agree to accept our faith, I will not only spare your life, but I will also give you an important position and you will live in honor and luxury. The blessed one saw that a state traitor should not have been given either honors or life, and if they were given, then only for treason against St. faith; How can you agree to betray your faith in the Lord Jesus? He answered the vizier: “I am completely innocent of a state crime,” you yourself realize. I will never agree to save my life by departing from the Christian faith, as long as I remain with a healthy sense. Save your honors and riches for yourself, I don’t need them.” The saint was subjected to torture, by which they forced him to accept Mohammedanism. The courageous sufferer endured everything patiently and thanked the Lord for deigning him to suffer for St. faith. Having lost all hope of distracting the saint from Christianity, they brought him to the place of execution and hanged him 341. This was in October 1659. In the Pech monastery there is a staff with the inscription: Pathu Ku (Patriarch Kiriu) Gavrilo” 342. Repose of Ave. Alexander Svirsky Blessed is God, who bestows for the benefit of poor people such great ascetics of piety, His servants so close to Him, such as St. Alexander Svirsky. His life is wonderfully high, a reflection of the pure gospel life; and what he cannot receive from the Lord, having become so close to Him through his high life 343. The wondrous servant of God was born in the ancient Obonezh Pyatina, in the village. Mandera, which is now in the Olonets province. When he was sent to learn to read and write, at first he studied stupidly in comparison with others. This upset him greatly. Once he prayed with tears in the church for the opening of his understanding and heard a voice: “Get up, you will receive what you asked.” He returned to the house cheerfully and - from that time on, he quickly and easily began to understand book wisdom. He was a God-fearing child and the same as a youth - he constantly fasted and prayed at night. “Why are you, my son, exhausting yourself like this?” the mother spoke with sorrow. The son answered: “Why do you, my mother, turn me away from abstinence that is pleasant to me?” His parents wanted him to get married, but he avoided it under various pretexts, and thought about one thing, how to completely part with the world. Valaam monks came to the village where the parents lived; Seeing them, the youth approached them and bowed to them to the ground, with the words: “Bless me, holy fathers!” The monks were amazed at the youth’s humility. The eldest of them, understanding the youth’s disposition, reported how the monks lived in their Valaam monastery, but added “the abbot did not order us to take the children away from their parents and bring them to the monastery; go to your house; The Lord Himself will direct your path.” The blessed youth decided to part with the parents he loved. Having received their permission to go to a nearby village on business, he leaves the house so as not to return to it again. He went straight to Valaam Island and here, at the age of 26, he put on monastic robes. Here he spent 13 years, as the strictest novice towards himself. Strong in health, he diligently served everyone, carried water, carried firewood from the forest, and did not even allow his soul to refuse the orders of his elders. He spent the night in prayer, and sometimes he gave his body, naked to the waist, as food for mosquitoes, and then went to Matins. After 13 years spent in the hostel, he received the blessing to labor in solitude. Even before that, he wanted to devote himself to this asceticism. But an experienced mentor held him back. “No, child,” said the abbot, without establishing your feet on the level of the community through obedience, as at the root, you cannot touch the top with silence and solitude; one should not indulge one’s will at the wrong time; for all your time." In 1486, Alexander retired to Lake Roshchinskoye, where he had wanted to live even when he left his parents’ house; 6 versts from the river. Sviri chose a place for himself and, where the Church of the Savior was later built, he labored for 7 years in a cramped hut. Here, by chance, the boyar Zavalishin found him and thought that he was seeing a ghost: so the servant of God exhausted himself with exploits. At the earnest request of the pious boyar, the monk revealed his life to him, under the condition of silence. “I’ve been living here for seven years without seeing anyone,” he said; I never ate bread, but was content with grass; sometimes I had to eat nothing but raw earth.” “Was it difficult for you to live like this?” asked the amazed boyar. “It was hard at first,” answered the monk; I suffered greatly from my stomach; at times he lay on the ground, unable to raise his head; I performed my singing while lying on the ground: since I suffered very much, and now I see someone bright. “What are you sick with?” he asked me. “Stomach,” I answered. “Show me where it hurts,” he said. And when I pointed out, he laid his hand on me and said: “Behold, you are healthy; do not sin, but work for the Lord.” - Since then I feel healthy. There was also a struggle for the hermit. Spirits of evil more than once appeared to him in menacing apparitions, but he did not yield to their violence and through prayer dispelled their dreams 344 . After 7 years, workers began to gather to him: but at first they also lived as hermits, not close to one another. Boyar Zavalishin occasionally delivered bread to the hermits, which strengthened the weak. By special inspiration, the monk began to build a monastery 130 fathoms from his hut; and his companions convinced him to accept the rank of priesthood and leadership. – In 1508 he was consecrated as abbot and at the same time the church of St. Trinity 345. - Having become abbot, blessed Alexander did not change his severity towards himself, but he seemed to be the last in the monastery. The first one went out to work and worked harder than anyone else: he kneaded dough in the bread shop and baked bread, he carried water from the lake, he chopped and carried firewood, he came to where the rye was being ground, and then, while others were sleeping, he ground for others with his own hands. He never slept even on matting, but on a bare board or sitting. His clothes were sewn with patches. Some people laughed at him for wearing such clothes, but he remained true to himself. He zealously cared for the salvation of his children, the monks. In the late evening he came to everyone's cell to know who was doing what, and then meekly let them know about the value of time. He begged the brethren to draw closer to God through humility, labor, obedience, fasting and prayer. When the number of brethren increased, the monk began to build an extensive church of St. Trinity, and a stone one at that. The brethren, looking at the poverty of the monastery’s funds, said: “Where will we get the funds? This is an unreasonable enterprise!” The monk answered: “Exactly, we cannot do anything unless the Lord helps; but He helps those who trust in Him.” The church was consecrated with the blessing of the archbishop. Macarius, in 1526. The monk also built a fraternal meal and other buildings necessary for the hostel. The high spiritual life of the northern ascetic attracted many to him, from near and far places. Some came to the great Abba to ask for blessings and prayers, others went with the sorrows of earthly life, and still others revealed their sick conscience. The monk received everyone with gentle love. “The son of Abraham has come to us, Deacon Theodorit,” this is how the Monk Theodorit, the Solovetsky monk and future educator of the Lapps, greeted him, whom he came to meet. A contemporary, Prince Kurbsky, writes about this” 346. Boyar Aprilov, who only had daughters and who beat his wife for it, asked the monk to pray that God would give him a son. The holy elder said: “And now your wife is carrying in her womb a child, not a male, but a female. This is arranged by God, not your wife. Therefore, it is in vain, my son, that you insult your wife. Patriarchs received childbearing through prayer. Do as they did. A farmer, sowing the land with barley, does not think that wheat will be born to him. Give alms to the poor: they are our prayer books before God.” At Aprilov’s persistent request, the monk prayed for him, and a year later the boyar’s wish was fulfilled. One of the richest and most famous merchants of Novgorod, Bogdan Semenovich Koryukov, although he lived far from the saint’s monastery, was close to him in soul and respected him. At one time he visited the monastery of the monk. Falling at the feet of the saint, he said to him: “Have mercy on me, servant of God! pray to God for me: I have one son and he is seriously ill, ready to die.” The monk answered: “It is not in our will, child, to give what we would like. Believe God sincerely and pray to Him with contrition. He can provide everything useful for our soul. You had many children and all of them, while still young men, parted with life, with the destinies of God; you will have to bury the one who remains, for your sins, of which there are so many. My son! at least now wake up and part with your sins: do not add more heights to heights (“do not add cuts to cuts”); be compassionate towards the poor, the orphaned and widows, feed the prisoners in prison; Do not extort interest from debtors. With such good deeds you will attract God’s mercy to yourself... You, my son, will be awarded the rank of angel.” According to the chronicle, we see that Bogdan Semenovich later came into special confidence. prince - he was entrusted (1536) with overseeing the making of coins in Novgorod. According to the news of Aleksandrov’s disciple, Koryukov, before his death, became a monk. Here is another experience of the monk’s foresight. When he consecrated the church of St. Trinity: after the prayer service, people gave him money and things. – The villager Gregory also wanted to give something from himself, but the monk did not accept. Two and three times Gregory tried to place his gift in the venerable phelonion, but the monk pushed his hand away. “Your hand stinks,” the monk finally told him, “you beat your mother with it and thereby brought upon yourself the wrath of God.” - What should I do? Gregory asked in dismay. “Go, ask forgiveness from your mother and do not dare to insult her in the future.” Shortly before his death, the monk built another stone, warm church in honor of the Intercession of the Mother of God, with a fraternal stone meal. Then he was consoled by a vision of the Mother of God, who promised him not to forget his monastery and to increase the number of her monks. Lecturer Alexander raised many devotees of piety. In the former Oredezh desert - a student of his reverend. Macarius, founder of the desert, who died in 1532 347. In the Vazheozersk Spasskaya Hermitage, in the 12th century. From the Svirsky monastery, its ascetic and founder of the desert, Ven. Nikifor. The pupils of the Svir mentor died in the Oyat desert: Ignatius, Leonidas, Dionysius, Theodore, Theophanes, Cornelius and Athanasius 348. Alexander is the great Abba. In his spiritual will, he wrote: “I command my brothers to live in love for Christ and not to keep intoxicating drink in our desert, not to have enmity among themselves and not to be considered in anything. God gave, so far there is nothing to count from - there is no monastery treasury: what God sent during my life, which lover of Christ contributed to the monastery - everything went to the house of St. Trinity and the divine transfiguration, for the church and warm church and for other monastic expenses" 349. The holy elder died at the age of 85 from birth, on August 80, 1533. His appearance: bald, his beard was wide and long, but sparse. Since 1547, Venerable St. Alexander church service 350, but his relics were discovered only in 1641 and c. In 1643, Michael arranged for them a silver shrine, in which they now rest 351. Transfer of relics of blessings. led book Alexander Nevsky In 1710, Emperor Peter I founded the now famous Alexander Nevsky Lavra on the banks of the Neva, glorified by the victory won in 1240 on July 15 by Nevsky, and having concluded a glorious peace with the Swedes after a long battle, he ordered on June 4, 1723 to transfer from Vladimir to his new capital the honest relics of Alexander Nevsky, who by his very name already belonged to the capital Nevskaya, so that by transferring St. relics to consecrate the new capital, the new monastery and the triumph of the world. In consultation with the Holy Synod, the Emperor ordered the construction of a magnificent shrine for his treasures. To Novgorod St. the relics were carried in triumph in their arms, and from Novgorod with water on a richly decorated boat. The transfer took place on August 30, the day of the consecration of the Church of the Holy Trinity in the Nevsky Monastery and the conclusion of the Neustadt Peace with Sweden. Emperor Peter himself met the relics of the wonderworker at the mouth of the Izhora and, placing them on a magnificent galley, took them with his nobles to St. Petersburg and then carried them from the pier to the monastery. At its gates, Archbishop Theodosius of Novgorod with members of the Holy Synod and the Holy Cathedral met St. relics and with their own hands brought the shrine into the newly built church in the name of Alexander Nevsky. The capital celebrated this event for three days. From that time, in memory of the transfer of the relics of St. Blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky, the Church established an annual holiday on August 30, in commemoration of gratitude to God for the victories granted by the prayers of St. Alexander over the Swedes, and for the glorious Peace of Neustadt, concluded in 1721. Gabriel Buzhinsky, Bishop of Ryazan, wrote a service for the day of the transfer of the relics of St. Alexander Nevsky. Since 1725, the 30th day of August has become the cavalry holiday of the order established by Catherine I in honor of St. Blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky. In 1753, Empress Elisaveta Petrovna built a rich silver shrine for the relics of Alexander Nevsky and established a religious procession in St. Petersburg on August 30 from Kazan, now St. Isaac's Cathedral, to the Nevsky Monastery. Great Catherine built a new majestic cathedral in the Nevsky Lavra, where on the day of its consecration in 1790 St. The relics of Alexander Nevsky were transferred from the Annunciation Church of the monastery with great triumph. In his hymn in honor of St. of the blessed Alexander Nevsky, the Church proclaims to him: “Christ reveal you, like some divine treasure of the Russian land, a new miracle worker, glorious and God-pleasing.” The paremias and Gospel and Apostolic readings in the days of the blessed Prince Alexander are the same as those assigned to St. Rev. For at his death he too accepted monastic vows. In the general service of Serbian on August 30, “Gregory the God-bearing” is also mentioned, archbishops: Ioannikiy, Jacob, Savva the third, patriarchs: Cyril, Nikon, John, Maxim (l. 161. 162). In the preface of Serblyak it is said: “It would behoove us to include the prayer rules and these saints of God: St. Gregory, Serbian archbishop, who was from the roots of the Nemanjic people, his relics are in the Kumanice monastery on the river. Lima, St. Stephen, his relics rest in Piper, and St. the newly-minted Peter, the black mountains of the metropolitan: otherwise nothing can now be found with might.” We must also say the same about James and John. In Glasnik VI, 34. 43. 44, very little is said about them. We cannot help but add that it is a stalemate. Maxim, as famous as he is, is almost in vain considered Fr. Anthimos (Western Geographical Society XIII, 175) to the great saints; the construction of the gallery and the wedding of Brankovich are not great things, but his relationship with St. Gabriel is very unseemly. In the ancient Serbian charter (glasnik XI, 194) neither Jacob and Sava the third, nor Eustathius 2 are called saints. Stefana said under May 28th. In one Serbian chronicle of the 15th century. it is said that since the time of St. Naemani “appeared in the Serbian church as great lamps for the world, some equal to the apostles, others peacemakers and wonderworkers, and blessed bishops and many reverend and righteous men.” (Russian conversation 1860. 11, 19). Now the “many” of the venerables of the Serbian land are still unknown, and of the righteous, only Šciljanović is known so far. An inscription has been preserved on the cross designated for the church of St. Apostles Peter and Paul: “And create the cross in the episcopate of Rashka Gregory the Great, for she and she are two widows who gave.” Since, according to the inscription, King Milutin also participated in the construction of the same cross (Mikloschitz monum. No. 86): then Gregory, the Russian bishop, was a contemporary of this king. Raicha 11. 410. 411. Letop. in Glasnik 1, 165. U, 41. VI, 28. 29. X, 264. General service: “Rejoice Savvo the second, like Moses in meekness.” Serblyak L. 162. According to the news about the chief hierarchs (glasnik VI, 28) “this saint (Arseny) is still alive, appoint a serble archbishop instead of the second Savva.” Since blessed Arseny († Oct. 28th 1266) was ill for 3 years before his death: then, of course, no later than 1263 Savva was consecrated archbishop by Arseny. The same news says that Savva served as bishop for 7 years. But then he died in 1270, and this could not have happened. In 1269 Ioannikis was archbishop. And the news itself in another case (Glasnik VI, 30) says that Savva 2, like Daniel, was not an archbishop for long. - Therefore, it must be assumed that the blessed one. Savva died at the beginning of 1268. The ancient charter (glasnik XI, 194) says: Feb. 12 “prestavise archbishop. light Savva second.” Zap. geogr. total XIII, 174, 152.

In the Serbian charter on May 12, “the Archbishop of Light Nikodim was reposed.” Glasnik XI, 194. Service in Serblyak, l. 128. Daniil at Raich 2, 506. 507. Daniel writes that the book. Milyutin died “in the summer as he said to the four past archbishop Nicodemus,” that is, almost 4 years after Nicodemus was installed as archbishop. since Milyutin died Oct. On the 20th, 1320, the elevation of Nicodemus to archbishop was at the beginning of 1317, or otherwise before the Ascension of the Lord. In the Hilandar charter, Milyutin signed “Sava, by the grace of God, Archbishop of all Serbian and Pomeranian lands.” The postscript lists his predecessors: St. Savva, Arseny, Savva 2, Ioaniky, Eustathius, Jacob, Eustathius 2. (Avramovich monuments No. 4. Grigorovich p. 56). In the life of Milyutin it is said (Serblyak l. 57) that under K. Milyutin there were archbishops: Savva 3. Nicodemus and Daniel. This is not accurate. With him were: St. Eustathius († 1279), Jacob († 1285), Eustathius 2 († 1304), Savva 3 (1305–1316) and Nicodemus. But Daniel was already an archbishop under Dečanski and Dušan. Glasnik V, 62. 63. General service in Serblyak; “Rejoice Nicodemus, like the prophet Elijah, a valiant zealot.” Ed. in Glasnik XI, 189–193. In the Serblyak service to him: “with your Orthodox teachings you drove away foreign heresies far from the Church of Christ... Having divine zeal, like Elijah the Great, you breathe wrath at the enemies of the cross of Christ and drive them away, like predatory wills, from your flock, the blessed shepherd.” During his time in the cathedral, along with the bishops, there were (in Grigorovich p. 48) abbots: Studeneč, Mileschevski, Sopočanski, Banski, Hradec, Moravian Hradec, Rašski, Končulski, Orahovets, Nagornica, Skopski. Raach II, 512. shows still modern St. Abbots to Nicodemus; Modritsky, Hvossensky, Gostivarsky. The bishops under him were: Letta, Rash, Chlum, Khosten, Toplice, Budimla, Dibr, Moravid, Skoil, Prizren, Liplyan, Branichev, Machven, Gradad and Konchul, 15 in total (Khrizovul in Safarik in memorial p. 51). See Oct. 30 about the cathedral churches and monasteries of Milyutin. Grigorovich (put. 57) shows that the letter was written in 6840 (1332). But there's a mistake here. Glasnik (VI, 35) shows that Nicodemus ruled the church for 8 years and so on. died in May 1325. Yes, the gospel of 1329, written under the archbishop, is known. Daniel (Grigorovich pp. 18–21). Glasnik VI, 41. 42. XI, 160–162. Dusan: “he was crowned king in L. 6854 (1346) Apr. 14 days - blessed and by the hand of the Right Reverend Patriarch Ioannikis and all the bishops of the Cathedral of Serbia, blessed and by the hand of the Right Reverend Patriarch of the Bulgarian Kir. Simeon and all the bishops of the Bulgarian Assembly.” (Maikov 239. 240). since the wedding of Dushan took place following the proclamation of Ioannikios as patriarch (Raicha II, 746): it is clear that the elevation of Ioannikios to the patriarchal rank was the work of the Bulgarian patriarch and the council of archpastors. The Kharkov Bulletin (1854 1:512) takes Simeon for the Archbishop of Orchids. This is a mistake. Simeon was the Patriarch of Tern (Izv. Acad. VII, 155). A note about the Serbian patriarchate, written by a half-Greek, says: “I chose the patriarch for myself not according to the law, nor with the blessing of the Tsarograd patriarch, but without seeking the blessing on the Archbishop of Trnovo and on the Archbishop of Orchid and with the collection of sarbs.” (Glasnik XI, 161). According to this news, the Archbishop of Ohrid was also at the council. Who was he? Without a doubt, the same “humble Anthimus of Achridon” who signed the act of the constants. Council of 1347 and whom Meletius calls “much learned.” But the half-Greek a) unfairly calls the Bulgarian high priest an archbishop: the Church of Constantinople itself recognized him as a patriarch. b) Since the Serbian high priest is recognized as const. the council for the independent and was always dedicated by the council of Serbian archpastors; and the Patriarch of Constantinople during the reign of St. Sava refused to rule the Serbian Church: the half-Greek is also unfair in that “according to the law,” the dedication of the Serbian patriarch should be “with the blessing of the Constantinople patriarch.” Yes, and under St. The Greek Church did not complain to the Serbian Patriarchate. Discontent was raised under P. Savva precisely because Dushan expelled Greek bishops from his kingdom who did not want to obey his will. About the character of the letop. in the gazette, 66. 68.

Before Safarik’s research, the law book was supplemented in 1354. The law book of 1349 ends with article 136, the remaining 64 articles belong to the addition of 1354 by Maykov (p. 36). It is very possible that some clergyman composed it. Service of St. Ioannikiy in Serblyak L. 168. News in the Glasnik VI, 52. The lawyer was approved in May 1349 (Note 297). But in the same 1449 c.

Before the ancient charter “Sept. 3 You are present, Patriarch Ioanniki.” (Glasnik XI, 193). So blessed. Ioannikios died Sept. 3rd 1349 After that it is clear that St. Ioannikiy was in the rank of patriarch for three and a half years and in the rank of archbishop for about seven years, and in later Serbian notes (glasnik VI, 42. XI, 161) it is unfairly said that he served as a priest for 16 years. After that, we cannot say anything about the fact that St. Innocent wrote to C. in 1354. Dusan and Patr.

So according to sp. 1390 in Maykov, p. 29, in Raich something has been changed and added. Expression sp. 1390 “who does not have a tower” in sp. 1701 is explained with the word: “siroma”. Whoever did not have batyakovshchina, i.e., ancestral and hereditary property, was called an orphan. Another law: “an orphan potter is free, like a priest,” that is, if a potter does not have ancestral land where he could mine clay, then he is free from duty for the craft, like a priest. So according to the edition of Safarik Art. 13–16. 36. 37. In Rajic in Art. 39 the meaning of the law is quite changed. Charter of 1348 to the Prizren monastery: "there should only be an abbot - and a common life. The abbot sits at the cathedral at the same table with the abbots of St. Stephen (Bansky), Pandocrator (Dechansky) and Zabrodsky. The hegumen is appointed only from the cenobia, who will be chosen by the patriarch and the king with the consent of the monastery brethren, if there is no one capable, take from The abbot is not replaced, unless due to great fault... When the patriarch comes (for a holiday) to the monastery, a horse is given to him, and when he installs the abbot, the hegumen is also given the horse. a day, wine in the morning and in the evening; during fasting every day except Saturday and Sunday; According to the publication of Safarik Art. 18. “monks who have taken monastic vows from the monastery courtyards must go to another monastery. Otherwise, living in a monastery, they cannot resist giving anything to relatives and friends. It also turns out that there is a great temptation for the brethren: they call guests and strangers to the monastery.” According to Safarik's edition in Art. 28 added: “would it be possible to keep them (the poor) from the metropolitan or from the abbess, and excommunicate them?” Church people in the law are called a) people of clergy; b) tenants of church lands and hired caretakers; c) settlers working on church lands. Eg. Art. 48: “If the church people who hold church villages and church lands drive out the posadniks (church settlers): then those who drove out the church people are tied up, the land is taken away from them until they hire settlers.” According to the publication of Safarik Art. 82. 83. “If someone dishonors a saint or a monk or a priest: he pays 100 perper.

This is natural: St. Gregory of Sinai, the founder of the monastery, was highly respected during his lifetime, and after his death he is revered among the saints. Patr. writes his letter of commendation on the basis of the letter of Prince. Lazarus († 1389). The letter presents the matter in such a way that St. Gregory is asking for favors for the founded monastery. since there was an instruction. p. Kallista, sk. in 1362 (see Feb. 27 d.): it is unlikely that St. Gregory appeared personally to Prince Lazar, and while Lazar was only the prince of the Danube region.
