Cathedral of St. glorious and all-praised twelve Apostles The Orthodox Church, while celebrating each of the twelve Apostles separately, equally reveres their entire council together. For Scripture and tradition, praising the labors and martyrdom of each individual of the 12 Apostles, glorify them all collectively and equally. According to Scripture, they are all friends of God (John 15:14), and when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, and they will all sit on the twelvefold throne judging the deceived tenth tribe of Israel (Matthew 19:28). And sacred tradition calls all twelve glorious and all-praised. Therefore, for the equal and equal glorification of all of them together and for the protection of believers from those vain disputes of divisions, in which Ap. Paul denounces the first Christians who said: I am Paul, I am Apollos, I am Cephas (1 Cor. 1:12). The Church unites the twelve on one day to celebrate them all together, calling this day the Council of the Twelve Glorious and All-Glorious Apostles. They are: 1) Peter the Supreme (June 29 and January 16). 2) Andrew the First-Called (November 30). 3) Jacob Zebedee (April 30). 4) John the Evangelist (September 26 and May 8). 6) Bartholomew or Nathanael (June 11 and August 25). 8) Matthew the Evangelist (November 16). 9) Jacob Alfeev (October 9). 10) Judas Jacob - brother of Ap. James from 70 (June 19). 11) Simon the Zealot (May 10). 13) Pavel the Supreme. Although the Council of the Apostles, glorified by the Church on June 30, includes 13 Apostles, in the liturgical books this day is called the Council of the Twelve, because this is the original number of Apostles and Christ’s (Matthew 10:1-5); therefore, it was preserved even when Apostle was added to the Council of the Apostles. Paul. The beginning of the Council in honor of the twelve dates back to the first Christian times, as can be concluded from the Apostolic decrees, which prescribe the celebration of the days of the Apostles. Eusebius, in his history about Constantine the Great, writes that this pious sovereign, in honor of the twelve Apostles, built a church in his new capital, Constantinople, restored by Emperor Constantius. On the day of the Council in honor of the 12 Apostles, the Church Fathers delivered teachings. So St. John Chrysostom, in his eulogy to the 12 Apostles, said: “The 12 Apostles were chosen, and not one of them was left uncrowned. Here Peter enlightens Rome; there Paul preaches the gospel to the world; Andrew admonishes the wise men of Hellas; Simon teaches the knowledge of God to the barbarians; Thomas makes the Ethiopians white through baptism; the pulpit of Jacob is revered by Judea; the throne of Mark embraces Alexandria of the Nile; Matthew and Luke write the Gospel; John the Theologian, even after his death, heals Ephesus as if alive; Bartholomew is led by Likaonian; Philip saves Hierapolis with miracles. All of them do not stop doing good to everyone everywhere. They left incorruptible relics in their graves. Being now the doctors of the world, they will finally be its judges.” Although not all of the listed St. Chrysostom belongs to the 12 Apostles, but the Church of some of the 70 Apostles, for example. From ancient times he glorifies the Evangelists both Mark and Luke with equal honor with the 12 Apostles, calling all the Evangelists glorious and all-praised Apostles. In the 9th century, Theophan, Metropolitan of Nicea, in honor of the 12 Apostles, composed a canon, now sung by Right. Church on the day of their Council. On the day of the Council in honor of the 12 Apostles, the Church especially glorifies St. Paul, as the stone of faith, and with Paul the entire twelve-member Council. † Memory of blessings. Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky Blagov. Prince Andrey, son of V. book Yuri Dolgoruky, as an appanage prince, at different times owned Pinsk, Dorogobuzh, Peresopnitsa, Vyshgorod. In his young years he was distinguished by his military courage. Near Lutsk (1150) he drove the enemies and was surrounded by them on the bridge; his horse was pierced by two spears, stones rained down on him like hail; the heavy German raised his spear at him, but with a prayer in his soul he repelled the blow from himself and returned to his whole 306. In 1151, the ardent Andrei was in danger near Kyiv; rushing to the other side of the river, he drove the enemy shooters towards the city, but was abandoned by his own; one of his squad, grabbing the bridle of Andreev’s horse, held him back and thereby saved him from captivity, if not from death. In 1152, in a hot battle at the river. Rute Andrey broke his spear with a strong blow, his helmet flew off his head and his shield fell to the ground, but this time the Lord saved the pious prince 307. Despite his personal courage, Prince Andrei did not like in his soul the incessant noise of southern strife, which caused so much trouble to the south for the ghosts of power and glory 308. Born and raised in the north, his soul longed for his homeland, Vladimir, and more than once asked his father to let him go there 309. Andrei’s relatives’ wives also called there, although not for him at all, but for themselves 310. In 1154, after many bloody battles, his father became a... prince of Kyiv and gave his son Vyshgorod in order to have close support for himself in his courage. But the next year Andrei, secretly, contrary to his father’s wishes, went to his northern homeland. He took with him from Vyshgorod the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, delivered there from Constantinople. – With this icon, 10 versts from Vladimir, the horses stopped and did not move forward, and the Mother of God, who appeared during Andrei’s night prayer, announced that Her icon should be in Vladimir, and not in Rostov; this also meant that the Kuchkovichs were lying for their own selfish purposes, assuring Andrei that the Rostovites were looking forward to him. The noble prince ordered the Mother of God to be depicted in the form in which She appeared to him, and at the site of the vision he ordered to build a monastery and a church in honor of the Bogolyubskaya icon 311. This place received from him the name Bogolyubov, as marked by a sign of heavenly love, and it became his favorite place to stay. To this day, the stone extension to the Bogolyubsky Church, where Prince lived, is still intact. Andrey and where he ended his life. Remaining an appanage prince of Vladimir, he now took care of improving the condition of his principality - according to his methods. When Andrei's father Yuri, Prince of Suzdal and Kiev, died (1157), the Rostov and Suzdal residents, recognizing Andrei's high qualities up close, recognized him as their prince, although this was not what Yuri wanted 312. So the blessed Andrei became the Grand Duke of northern Russia. Now his range of actions has expanded. And we can consider his affairs: a) in relation to neighboring regions - to Bulgaria, to Novgorod, to Kyiv; b) affairs in his own principality. The Bulgarians paid tribute to the Suzdal prince before Prince Andrei. He was carrying insults for the Russians from the Mathematical Bulgarians. Grand Duke Andrei decided to bring them to reason, for the glory of the name of Christ. He went to them with a large army. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God and the icon of the Savior, which is remarkable for our time, which blesses by name 313, were in his troops along with the cross. The Bulgarians were defeated more than once, several of their cities were taken, and the triumph over them was complete. The returning wonderful icons were met solemnly by all the clergy and people on the banks of the Klyazma River on September 21, 1164, and at the meeting place a church was erected in honor of the Mother of God, to which then every year on September 21 there was a procession from the cathedral. At the same time, Emperor Manuel won victories over the Mohammedan Arabs. Therefore, it was decided in both Greece and Russia to celebrate the Cross of Christ on the 1st day of August 314. In relation to Novgorod, Grand Duke Andrei at the very beginning of his reign declared (1159): “I want to seek Novgorod with good and evil.” This meant that, according to the intelligent and far-sighted prince, the democracy of a rich and strong principality was not capable of delivering all the benefits with a fragmented government, and he decided to humble it for the benefit of all of Russia; throughout his reign, he strove for this goal and achieved it: Novgorod obeyed Grand Duke Andrei. In 1159, he told the Novgorodians: “You must kiss the cross in that you will recognize me as your prince, and I will take care of your happiness.” And the next year the Novgorodians already asked Andrei for a prince; his words were weighed, understood and carried out 315. In 1167, the Novgorodians expelled Prince Svyatoslav, appointed by Andrei. Prince Andrei and his army declared: “You have no other prince except Svyatoslav.” The Novgorodians wanted to stand their ground and accepted the prince not at the will of the Grand Duke of Suzdal. Moreover, part of the Novgorod possessions was already paying tribute to Prince Andrei. But in 1169 The Novgorodians wanted this part to again pay tribute to Novgorod. Both caused the war. No matter how much the Suzdal army suffered near Novgorod, Novgorod was forced to humble itself before Grand Duke Andrei 316. In Kyiv, after Yuri, Andreev’s father, in the first years, princes senior to Prince Andrei reigned. When, after the blessed Prince Rostislav, Kyiv was occupied by Prince Mstislav Izyaslavich, it was offensive to Prince Andrei. – Mstislav was Prince Andrei’s second cousin. War broke out (1169), and Andrei’s son placed his uncle Gleb on the Kiev table. Two years later, Gleb died, then Prince Vladimir soon died; in 1171, by the will of Andrei, the Kyiv prince Roman of Smolensk took the throne. Prince Andrei's harsh review of the Rostislavichs armed many southern princes against his power. After the unfortunate siege of Vyshegorod, the Kyiv throne was occupied against Andrei’s will; but soon the south again submitted to the strong prince of Suzdal 317. This was the Suzdal Grand Duke Andrei in relation to other principalities: he laid the foundation for the autocracy of Russia. He did many, many good deeds for his northern principality. Having enlarged the fortress of Klyazmensky Vladimir, he founded a magnificent cathedral in honor of the Dormition of the Mother of God. He himself supervised the construction of this church with complete diligence and did not spare the costs. We brought the stone for the church from Bulgarian quarries. The interior decoration and decoration of the cathedral was done with the most generous hand: expensive stones, silver, and gold covered the icons; several vessels and crosses were gold. When the church was ready, a wonderful icon of the Mother of God was placed in it: “more than 30 hryvnias (15 pounds) of gold were spent on it, in addition to silver and expensive stones.” The church was founded on April 8, 1158, and the consecration took place on June 21, 1160, and the following year its interior walls were painted. The prince appointed for the cathedral the best estates with purchased settlers, a tenth of the herds and a tenth of the auction; he appointed the department to be here and approved all this with a letter. He even asked the patriarch that a special metropolitan be appointed for northern Russia and that his see be in Vladimir; but the patriarch did not agree to fulfill his desire, fearing strife 318. In 1165, mourning the death of his son Izyaslav, the God-loving One built the Pokrovsky Monastery to pray for the deceased; this is a mile from Bogolyubov, at the confluence of the Nerl River into the Klyazma 319. A contemporary said that the pious prince “decorated churches, created many monasteries, fed the poor and the poor” 320. This review gives the right to believe that in addition to two monasteries (Bogolyubskaya and Pokrovskaya) St. Prince Andrei built the Vladimir Ascension Monastery, known from the chronicle since 1187, the Vladimir Spassky Monastery at the golden gate built by Prince Andrei 321, the Vladimir Assumption Maiden's Monastery, from which the Knyaginin 1200 differs in the name of the new 322. Kozmodemyansky, whose abbot Arseny decided to bring the body of the murdered prince into the church 323. In governing his country, the noble prince tried to observe strict truth. If he forced his native princes to leave the Suzdal country for Greece 324, then his father did not even give his sons inheritance in the Suzdal principality; Prince Andrei did not want to see the princely power fragmented and therefore weak in the land of Suzdal; he wanted to be able to do good to others as much as he wanted according to the desire of his Christian heart. Leading a sober, clean, active life himself, he rewarded the good, but persecuted vices in others with the severity of the law. According to the chronicle, people said: “where there is law, there are many insults.” This meant that self-will does not like what sets boundaries for it, it “has its own judgment in short.” The noble prince was compassionate towards the unfortunate to the point that sometimes he himself looked after the sick; and for the poor and prisoners in dungeons, according to his orders, food and honey were delivered 325. The God-loving man loved Christian education and diligently read books; He especially cared a lot about enlightening the Mohammedan-Bulgars, the pagans of Cheremis and Mordovians, the Jews - the inhabitants of every trading city - with the Christian faith; He also cared a lot about joining the papists to St. Orthodoxy. At his court there were many people converted to St. faith 326. “It has been given to you in Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him” (Phil. 1:29), the Apostle wrote to some of his disciples. The same gift was given to blessed Prince Andrei. For his living, fiery love for the Lord, he was awarded a painful death. This was in the 63rd year of his 327 life. A close relative of Prince Andrei, Yakim Kuchkovich and his son-in-law, embittered that his brother was executed for some crime, Anbal Yasin, a baptized pagan, Efrem Moizich, a baptized Jew, plotted against Andrei’s life and joined up to 16 more people; some of the conspirators burned with anger because the just prince did not allow them, contrary to their hopes, to live cheerfully at the expense of others 328; others were torn with envy and were indignant at the prince because he distinguished his faithful and best servant Procopius with special love. All of them were showered with favors from the prince and Anbal was the complete manager of the prince's household; but passion, like hell, will not say: enough. On Friday, the villains formed a conspiracy and decided to kill Andrei the next day at night. In the dead of night, armed conspirators came to the palace in Bogolyubov, stabbed the guards, broke into the hallway, and approached the prince’s bedroom; but horror attacked them - they rushed to run out of the entryway; In the princely cellar they drank wine and, drunk, went back into the hallway. Near the bedroom, one of them began to call the prince: “Sir! Sovereign Great Prince! Andrey, hearing the voice, asked: who is there? They answered him: Procopius. “This is not Procopius,” the prince said loudly to the youth sleeping in his room. The killers, recognizing by his voice where the prince was, began to break down and broke down the doors. Andrei jumped up and wanted to grab the sword that was always with him (it belonged to St. Prince Boris); but there was no sword - the housekeeper Anbal stole it during the day. Two murderers jumped up and rushed at Andrei, but he was strong and knocked one down as the others ran in; in the darkness they killed a comrade instead of the prince, then, having found out, attacked the prince. The prince fought back for a long time, despite the fact that they cut him with sabers and stabbed him with spears from all sides. - “Wicked people! he shouted to them, why do you want to do the same as Goryaser (the murderer of St. Gleb)? What harm have I done to you? The Lord will take revenge on you for my blood and for your ingratitude towards my mercies.” Finally, blessed Andrew fell under the blows. The killers thought that the matter was over - the prince was killed; Driven by fear, they grabbed their comrade and hurried out of the bedroom. The prince rose to his feet and, unconscious, groaning loudly, went out into the hallway. The killers heard groans and returned. Not finding him in the bedroom, they were afraid: “we will die if we don’t find him,” they said. They lit candles and followed the blood to the prince; Andrey was sitting under the porch. Kuchkov's son-in-law cut off his hand; others plunged swords into their chests. Andrei managed to say: “Lord! I commend my spirit into Your hands,” and died. It was on the night from June 29 to June 30, 1174 329. The next morning, having killed Procopius, the killers robbed the prince's palace of silver, gold, expensive stones, pearls, fabrics and sent the robbed goods home. Then, both themselves and through their own, agitated the people against the prince’s loyal officials; Robberies and murders began that were scary to watch, says an eyewitness. The holy body of the noble prince, abandoned in the garden, lay unattended; the good servant Kozma, having found him, stood and wept bitterly over him. Seeing Anbal walking into the palace, Kozma cried out to him: “Give me a carpet or something to cover the prince.” “Leave him,” Anbal said angrily; we threw him to the dogs.” - “Monster!” exclaimed the good-natured servant; “Do you remember in what rags you came to the prince? Now you are in velvet, and the prince, your benefactor, is lying with his foot.” Anbal gave a carpet and a cape; Kozma covered the body of the deceased with this 330 and placed it in the vestibule of the church. On the third day, when the rebellion had not yet ended, Kozmodemyansk abbot Arseny paid possible honor to the murdered benefactor-prince. “How long will we have to wait for orders from our elders? - he said. It is indecent for a prince to lie like that. Open the church and let’s do what’s right.” The body was brought into the church, funeral chanting was performed over it, and it was lowered into a grave lined with stone 331. “Meanwhile, bad people, coming from the villages, continued robbing the city. “With the miraculous icon of the Mother of God, the good priest who served with her walked around the city, persuading the people to stop the unrest of self-will, which was never pleasing to the Lord - finally the excitement of passions subsided. On the sixth day (July 5), the people of Vladimir solemnly transferred the body of the blessed prince to their cathedral and buried it here. According to the chronicle, Prince Andrei was short in stature, but broad in the shoulders, handsome in face, with black and curly hair, a high forehead, and bright and large eyes 332. Already under the Grand Duke Vsevolod, the chronicler, having described the death of the noble prince, turned to him with prayer. “Pray to God,” he said, to have mercy on Prince Vsevolod, our sovereign, and on his own brother, and grant him victory over his enemies, a long life with the princess and children, and bliss in eternity” 333. Later, they also did not doubt the blissful peace of the blessed prince 334. Now the relics of St. The prince rests openly in a silver shrine, in a chapel dedicated to his name. There is an image of St. prince, embroidered with silks by Princess Sofia. The holy relics were found incorrupt and placed open on October 15, 1402. On his tomb there is an inscription: And not a single one will be crushed by them, To see a perishable being as incorruptible Unbelief is a temptation, but faith is a triumph” 335. Sunday l. 2, 3.

So, buda is a coffin hollowed out of oak, a log. “Stone coffin,” according to the flow of thoughts, is a grave lined with stone. – The chronicle also uses the word “coffin” in the same sense in another case. “When I carried (the inveterate body of the prince) to the tomb,” to the grave: “a wondrous sign came.” Collection l.
