†Holy Princes Boris and Gleb Holy princes Boris and Gleb are beautiful flowers of the newly enlightened Russian land, early bright stars that shone joyfully with the first appearance of the Christian horizon over Russia. Out of deep tender love for the new faith, the prince brothers were the best of the sons of St. Vladimir 275. The new faith was reflected in their soul and life, like a heavenly ray of light in clear water. Children of the same mother - a Christian mother 276, born not long before Vladimir's baptism, they grew up and developed in piety, untouched by the infection of paganism. - Under the influence of such living piety as the Equal-to-the-Apostles father breathed, under the influence of those wondrous deeds of Christian love with which the life of the Christian Vladimir so flourished, the young princes absorbed piety into themselves from their very first youth. They both loved only edifying books, just as the righteous father loved. “Boris,” says the ancient biographer, having learned to read and write, took books and diligently read them, especially the lives and exploits of saints; and Gleb, his youngest, listened to his brother with tender and complete attention, as if enjoying what was most pleasant for him. The brothers so often and so carefully read the scriptures that were useful for the soul that whole sayings, whole passages from books were deeply imprinted in their tender souls, and they could repeat them to themselves in the field and in the city, in the house and in the church; so we see this in the history of their suffering 277. And how greatly their hearts were amazed at what they encountered in the holy books! Reading about the suffering of the martyrs, St. Boris shed tears and prayed: “Lord Jesus Christ! honor me to participate in St. the will of Thy saints; teach me to follow in their footsteps. I pray to You, Lord! May my soul not be carried away by the vanity of this world; enlighten my heart so that it knows You and Your commandments; grant me the gift that You have given to Your saints” 278. The brothers loved their father, loved each other; they loved their father not only by the movements of their hearts towards their father, but they loved their mentor in him, they loved in him a living example of piety. “The light of my eyes,” said Boris, mourning the death of his father, “I will no longer enjoy your good teaching and wisdom” 279. Such was their love among themselves, holy love! When it was necessary to assign them inheritances, the father appointed (in 1010) Rostov and Murom for them, so that otherwise significant spaces would not separate the loving brothers 280. And in the north, legend has preserved the place of their brotherly camp: this is on the river. The Nerl River is not far from Suzdal, where the Kideksha Church 281 stands in memory of their holy love. The rules of saintly life, in which they were brought up by their father, were revealed in practice in the new circle of their lives. Faith is the first object of holy love, as their father taught them. And they, having arrived in the fiefs, did what they could to spread the holy faith. "St. Boris, ruling piously, turned the infidels to St. faith,” says the ancient message 282. The legend says the same about St. Glebe 283. Nestor writes about St. Boris: “show a lot of mercy in your area, not just to the poor, but to all people, as if you were amazed at his mercy and meekness; for the blessed one is meek and humble.” Having indicated the same kindness and kindness in Gleb, he says about both brothers: “continue in the teaching of God’s words, giving alms to the poor and needy and widows, as if you had nothing but clothes.” - Is it surprising that the father loved such children more than others? “The Father loved them, seeing the grace of God on them,” says the monk 284. – The increasing anger of Svyatopolk, the revealed disobedience of Yaroslav, the rumor about the movement of the Pechenegs disturbed the soul of the aged Vladimir. He summoned his beloved son Boris from Rostov. Vladimir, who was approaching the tomb, wanted to declare Boris the heir to his throne, bypassing not only Svyatopolk, but also Yaroslav, who had so saddened his old age. The Pechenegs demanded quick and strong measures against them. And Vladimir lay sick. He pointed out to Boris the danger of the Christian homeland and wanted him to go out against his enemies. “I’m ready for anything according to your will,” Boris answered and hurried against the Pechenegs 285. St. Boris and Gleb, both in the disposition of their souls and in their deeds, were what the heavenly faith wants to be. Svyatopolk was not like that. Paganism lived in his soul with its wild passions. He was already indignant against his father and against pure faith, but was warned in time. Released from prison by his kind father, he now lived in Vyshgorod, where it was easier than in Turov to observe this wild beast 286. Power-hungry Svyatopolk looked at Boris as his enemy, thinking to himself that he was ready to challenge his power. July 15, 1015 Saint Vladimir died in Vyshgorod 287. Those around the deceased tried in vain to hide his death until Boris returned. “Svyatopolk sat down on his father’s table.” He hastened to appease the people of Kiev: “he called them together and gave them rich gifts; they accepted, but their heart was not with him,” because they knew what he was like, and “their brothers were with Boris.” – Svyatopolk decided to sit on the throne, no matter what. For the authorities, he considered everything permissible; for them, he decided on the death of his brothers. – Boris learned about his father’s death on the river. Alta, near Pereyaslavl, where he stood after a vain pursuit of the fleeing Pechenegs. The death of his father struck him with grave grief: and he wept bitterly for his father. Those around him suggested to him: “We will go either with you or without you, and by force we will drive him (Svyatopolk) out of the city, and we will build you up, as your father betrayed us.” “No,” answered St. Boris, “I will not raise my hand against my elder brother; My father died, let him be in my father’s place.” Such is the soul that breathes Christianity! The army dispersed from St. Few of his squad remained Boris. Svyatopolk sent to call Boris to Kyiv, promising him a better destiny. Meanwhile, he secretly appeared in Vyshgorod and, calling upon the boyars known to him, said: “Are you devoted to me?” “We are ready to lay down our heads,” they answered. “If so,” said Svyatopolk, then, without saying a word to anyone, go and kill Boris” 288. It was Saturday evening. “They let Boris know that they wanted to kill him. He ordered a tent to be set up and in it he began to pray to God with tears. He prayed until he became weak. He lay down in bed and again wept bitterly, praying to God; then I read the book. He was told that the killers were already coming. - He ordered the priest to sing Matins; I read the Six Psalms myself. The killers heard it. Boris also found out that they were standing near the tent, and he himself read the psalms, and then the canon. Matins ended. He still stood in front of the icon and prayed: “Lord! You suffered for our sins; deign me to suffer for You; I die not from enemies, but from my brother; don’t make it a sin for him.” “Then, saying goodbye to everyone, he calmly lay down on the bed. What wonderful submission to the will of the Most High! What wonderful love for others! What unearthly calm in the eyes of death! The killers, like animals, burst into the tent, hit Boris with a spear and, thinking that he was already dead, went out. But the wound inflicted on Boris was not fatal: it only brought him to temporary insensibility. The blessed one jumped up and left the tent with a prayer on his lips. One of the villains hit him in the chest with a spear 289. The faithful servant, Hungarian Yuri, wanted to cover his master with himself and was killed. The villains went berserk and, unable to remove the golden hryvnia from Yuri’s neck, with which his good prince honored him, cut off his head. Then, wrapping Boris’s body in a tent, they took him, still breathing, to Svyatopolk. By order of the brother-beast, the two Varangians completed the murder. Body of St. Boris was secretly brought to Vyshgorod and buried at the Church of St. Vasily 290. This is how St. died. Prince Boris, July 24 days. - “He was tall and stately, with a round face, thin, with a clear and cheerful gaze, with a small beard and mustache, since he was still young” 291. Borisova's death was not enough for Svyatopolk. He sent to kill Gleb too. Acting insidiously everywhere, he sent a messenger to his brother with an invitation: “Come quickly, your father is sick and is calling you.” - Gleb was in a hurry to Kyiv 292. Having gone down the Oka to the Volga, he sailed up the Volga to the mouth of the Tma or Tmaka. Here, on a slope crossed by ditches, his horse fell into the ditch, and Gleb injured his leg. Then approaching Voguza to the Dnieper, they transported the boats near the village. Volochka to Dnepr. Finally Gleb was near Smolensk, sailing along the river. Smyadyn, as Yaroslav, on the news received from Kyiv from his sister Preslava, sent to tell him that his father had died, and his brother Boris had been killed by Svyatopolk. Gleb mourned the death of his father and cried even more for his brother, whom he loved dearly. “I will not hear your gentler instructions, beloved brother. If you have received boldness from the Lord, pray that I too may suffer like you; It’s better to be with you than in this evil world,” said the grieving Gleb, who early recognized the emptiness of the world. Meanwhile, the killers sent by Svyatopolk, with the then inevitable water route of communication, knew that Gleb would not bypass Smolensk, and approached Smolensk along the river. Gleb's companions saw them and grabbed their weapons to protect their beloved prince. “The good prince said to them: “brothers!” if we do not fight with them, then, having taken me, they will not dare to encroach on my life, but will lead me to my brother; if we enter into battle, they will kill me and you too; swim to the shore, I ask you, and I will remain alone in the middle of the river.” It was a pity for them to leave the prince defenseless, but his will was decisive; he repeated that this would save his life. And with anxious thoughts they obeyed, swam to the shore with tears in their eyes, looked around and waited to see what would happen. The saint took care of the lives of his servants, but he betrayed his own fate to the will of God. “The murderers, approaching the saint’s boat, stopped it and grabbed their weapons. In vain did Gleb try to keep them from committing crimes; in vain he said that he was not guilty of anything either before them or before his brother. - The ferocious Goryaser shouted to the saint’s cook: “Take the knife and stab your master, otherwise you will die yourself.” The cook, originally from Torki, not like the Hungarian Yuri, who died for Boris, took out a knife and took Gleb by the neck to take his life. Gleb was silent, turning with all his soul to the Lord. Kneeling down, Torchanin slaughtered the saint like a meek lamb - he cut his larynx. Thus the young righteous man ascended to the eternal abodes on September 5, 1015. The killers took his body out of the boat and threw it between the logs in a deep forest 293. After the death of St. The sufferers were followed by bloody unrest throughout Russia. – Svyatopolk, deciding to retain power for himself, killed his brother Svyatoslav and entered into a desperate struggle with Yaroslav. - Either with the wild Pechenegs, or with the Poles, he doused his native country with the blood of Russians. This went on for four years. – In 1019 on the river. Alta, at the scene of the terrible crime, Yaroslav inflicted a decisive defeat on the fratricide and took over his father’s table. Now that he “wiped his sweat with his squad,” one of his first concerns was to honor his suffering brothers. He began to collect information about how and where they were buried. Since the killers secretly transported Boris's body to Vyshgorod, and Yaroslav was then in Novgorod; It was only now, through questioning, that Yaroslav learned that St. Boris was buried in Vyshgorod near the Church of St. Vasily. Not everyone knew about Gleb and that he was killed in Smolensk. Yaroslav sent to find the precious remains of St. Gleb. They searched for a long time, but did not find them, and not before a year later (in 1020), St. the body was found by chance by hunters 294. “The priests with candles and censers carried it into the boat, and it was brought to Vyshgorod. Here they laid him along with Boris’s body. Wonderful thing! Body of St. Gleba, which had been lying in the open air for 5 years, turned out to be completely intact, not at all damaged by air changes, it was white and bloomed, like a living thing. “Soon signs and wonders began to appear at the grave of the martyrs. Either they saw a pillar of fire at night, or they heard extraordinary singing. Others began to come and reverently worship the grave of the martyrs. Others still did not believe, when a miracle followed that amazed everyone. The wandering Varangians were walking past the grave of the saints, and one stood with his feet on the grave itself, when fire burst out of it and burned his legs to the point that the daring one could not walk. Followed by the Church of St. Vasily was burned by a candle that was carelessly forgotten. “God allowed this, rightly notes St. Nestor, so that the bodies of the saints would be taken out of the ground and honestly laid in the new church, which happened.” Conveying the news of the destruction of the church, Yaroslav was told everything about St. martyrs; and he informed Metropolitan John. A chapel was hastily built on the site of the church. And the Metropolitan and the clergy came in procession to the grave of the saints, dug up the earth, opened the coffins with reverence and saw the bodies of the saints, as if alive. With reverent joy they brought St. the relics were placed in the chapel openly, on its right side 295. Two new miracles, the healing of the lame and the blind, further convinced everyone of the glorification of the passion-bearers by the Lord. – The Metropolitan reported to the Grand Duke that a church in honor of the martyrs must be immediately built in Vyshgorod and a holiday established. They got down to business: in the winter they prepared the forest and in the summer, on the day of the death of St. Boris, they finished the church with 5 domes; the church was decorated with “icons and other writings and all sorts of beauties”; by the will of Yaroslav, “an icon of the holy princes was painted, so that those entering the church, seeing their faces, would bow and kiss them with reverent love.” On July 24, the church was consecrated by M. John, in the presence of V. the prince and a large crowd of people; relics of St. martyrs are laid out in the church openly. “The prince and the metropolitan were still in the church, when the lame man who was crawling near the shrine of the saints stood up and began to walk in sight of everyone. All glorified God, wonderful in His saints. This time the celebration lasted 8 days. The Metropolitan served several more times in the Church of the Martyrs, ordained presbyters and deacons for it and appointed an elder over them 296. Yaroslav treated the clergy and people, distributed a lot of alms to the poor and determined to give out a tenth of the Vyshegorod tribute for the maintenance of the Borisoglebsk Church and its clergy. At the same time it was established to celebrate the memory of St. martyrs on the 24th day of July, the day of the murder of St. Boris 297. This was in 1021 298. In 1072, the Yaroslav church was found dilapidated. Grand Duke Izyaslav built a new church. - Relics of St. The martyrs were solemnly transferred to the Izyaslav church. At the same time, new signs of the heavenly glory of the martyrs were revealed. The princes gathered for the holiday: Izyaslav, Svyatoslav and Vsevolod, Metropolitan George, bishops Peter of Pereyaslavl, Neophyt of Chernigov, Mikhail Yuryevsky and Stefan of Belgorod 299, among the abbots “was the Rev. our father Theodosius, abbot of the Pechersk monastery, who shone among them like the sun,” says Nestor. First, the relics of St. Boris. In front walked the monks with candles, deacons, priests, then bishops and the metropolitan; behind them St. the relics were carried by three princes. When the shrine was opened in the new church, the church was filled with fragrance. – Metropolitan Greek, who until then did not quite believe the glory of the Russian princes, fell in fear before the shrine and prayed for forgiveness of his sin. Stone shrine of St. Gleb was being transported in a cart, but she stopped at the door. The Metropolitan told everyone to sing: Lord, have mercy; at the sound of the general prayer, the shrine moved and was placed in the church. By the hand of St. The Metropolitan blessed Gleb the princes, and the sick prince. Svyatoslav put his sore eyes, neck and crown to his hand. This transfer of relics took place on May 2, and this day is supposed to be celebrated every year 300. Three wonderful miracles took place in the new church. A mute man with a paralyzed leg walked only on a piece of wood and ate alms, especially near the church of the martyrs. The foreman of the Vyshegorod gardeners, Zhdan Nikolai, fed the poor in the village of St. every year. Nicholas. On this holiday, a mute lame man also came to Zhdan, but somehow he did not get anything. Left hungry, he fell into a frenzy: he saw that he was sitting in the church of the princes, and they were approaching him from the altar - crossing his lips, anointing his crumpled leg with oil and stretching it out. Those who saw the lame man found him almost unconscious and brought him to the church of the martyrs; but he suddenly got up and became healthy. – Another miracle: in Dorogobuzh, one maid, on the orders of her mistress, worked on St. Nicholas. St. who appeared to her The martyrs said: “Why are you working on the day of our holy father Nicholas? Here we will punish you." She seemed to be dead and lay relaxed for a month. Then she stood up, but with a dry hand. The mistress sent her away as unfit for work, and kept her child with her. The judges, on the grounds that the servant had lost her hand due to the illegal orders of the mistress, returned her child to the unfortunate mother and forced the mistress to refuse the rental price. Three years later, this woman, having learned about the healing of the lame man, came to Vyshgorod on the eve of the Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God. The next morning she told the senior priest Lazarus this: two young men appeared to me and the elder, taking the ring from his hand, said: “Put it on your hand and your hand will be healed.” “Lazarus ordered her to stand at the church during the liturgy. When the singer proclaimed the prokeimenon: “My soul magnifies,” the withered woman ran to the altar, trembling and shaking her hand. This scared many; but it turned out that her hand was healthy. The third miracle: in one city a blind man often went to St. Church. vm. George and begged him for the return of his sight. At night, the martyr who appeared said: “Why are you pestering me? If you want to see the light, go to St. Boris and Gleb - they were given the grace to heal all sorts of diseases in the Russian country.” A blind man came to Vyshgorod, prayed to the martyrs for several days and regained his sight. - Glorifying the martyrs, he confessed out loud to everyone that the saints, approaching him, crossed him three times, and his eyes were opened 301. Grand Duke Svyatoslav began to build a stone church in honor of the martyrs, but died († 1079) without finishing the church. Vsevolod finished the construction, but the church collapsed. – After Vsevolod († 1093), Svyatopolk Izyaslavich reigned in Kyiv, Oleg Svyatoslavich in Chernigov and Vladimir Monomakh in Pereyaslavl. The attacks of the Polovtsians gave them freedom to start building the church. Meanwhile, the following miracle happened. Svyatopolk, for slander, put two innocent people in a dungeon pit (“cellar”). The unfortunate people prayed to the martyrs. And one night, when the doors of the pit were locked, one of the prisoners found himself free, without the shackles that lay at his feet. Calling the watchman, he said to him: “Lead me to the Church of the Martyrs.” “Here, in front of everyone, he told this: “When we were sleeping, the martyrs came in and asked: why are you here?” We answered that it was the will of the prince to whom we were slandered. The saints said: “Go to church and tell us what you saw, but your comrade will remain here and still blind; three days later we will heal him, and then appear to the prince and tell him: “Why are you torturing without knowing the truth? If you don’t change, you will be punished.” The prisoner added: “To be sure, let’s go to the pit.” It turned out that the lock on the door of the pit was not damaged and the entrance staircase lay on top of the pit; another prisoner was found blind, but without shackles. Both were freed from the pit, and the blind man regained his sight on Sunday. Then they told Prince Svyatopolk about everything. The prince repented of his sin; but it seems not entirely sincere. Prince's son Svyatoslav Oleg, in agreement with his father’s wishes, built a stone church for the martyrs. All that remained was to consecrate the church and transfer the relics of the martyrs into it. But Svyatopolk did not want this only because he did not create the church. After his death in 1113, Vladimir Monomakh sat on the throne of Grand Duke. Even before that, he showed great zeal for the martyrs - he made many offerings to Vyshgorod, bound (in 1102) the shrine of the martyrs with silver and gold and on the river. Alte created a magnificent church in their honor. – In 1115, Monomakh invited the princes and the council of clergy to Vyshgorod. On May 1 the church was consecrated; On May 2 the transfer of St. relics. The celebration was magnificent; there were Metropolitan Nikifor, 4 bishops, 5 abbots and an immense multitude of people; the celebration lasted three days. Monomakh then bound the shrines of the martyrs with new silver gilded boards with images of the passion-bearers, hung silver lamps and placed crystal gilded candlesticks 302. At the same time, a special service to the martyrs was compiled for May 2, 303. Let's end our story by repeating the sacred. songs that the Church of St. sang. martyrs even under Yaroslav. “Come, newly baptized Russian cathedrals, and we will see how Boris is judged without guilt, by the envy of his brother: they pierced his body with a spear and shed blood, at the instigation of the devil; and Gleb was stabbed to death with a knife, by the hand of the same brother Svyatopolk, and thrown between the blocks. They were crowned, but he died without a trace. They pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.” “The glorious Vyshgorod is seething with your miracles; you flow healing from the tomb like rivers, you heal the weak and comfort the sad.” “How long, my soul, do you remain in evil deeds, being defiled by them? Why don't you tremble at the hour of death? Why don’t you cry and cry out to Christ: God! through the prayers of your martyrs, Roman and David, deliver me from eternal fire and save me” 304. † Resignation of the teacher. Polycarp, Archimandrite of Pechersk Rev. Polycarp, having taken monastic vows at the monastery of St. Fathers Anthony and Theodosius, zealously tried to imitate their high life. His approximately strict life and spiritual prudence disposed the brethren (in 164), after the death of Akindinus, to elect the blessed one as abbot - Archimandrite of Pechersk 305. At the beginning of his abbess, Blessed. Athanasius delivered a strong sermon to the Pechersk brethren: “repent and obey the abbot,” and then locked himself in a cave for 12 years to cry 306. Grand Duke Rostislav loved blessed Polycarp: every Saturday and Sunday of Great Lent he invited him to his meal along with 12 elders to enjoy his conversation; he listened to his instructions at other times. When he expressed to him his desire to retire from worldly affairs to the monastery, the prudent abbot explained to the prince his duties. “Prince,” he told him, the Lord requires other feats from you—observe the truth in court and protect the Russian land; however, submit yourself to the will of God” 307. – In 1167, the pious Grand Duke Rostislav died, and Polycarp suffered severe sorrows. He decided in his monastery to allow the fast of Wednesday and Friday for the Lord's holidays, following the instructions of the smart Metropolitan. Nikifor. The Chernigov prince and some others wanted to follow the same idea. Metropolitan Constantine rebelled against that. A council was convened. At the council, opinions were divided. The side of the metropolitan was supported by Bishop Anthony of Chernigov, a Greek by birth, and Bishop Anthony of Pereyaslavl. Others defended Polycarp and said: “let them follow the reasoning of their abbots in the monasteries.” Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky wrote that Constantine should be removed from the pulpit and the matter should be considered at a new council, impartially. The Kyiv prince did not decide on the measure proposed by the prince. Andrey. – This state of affairs also depended on the fact that the subject being discussed was also subject to controversy in the East. And yet, when the bishops and princes, who disagreed with the opinion of the metropolitan, left Kyiv, Constantine and the two Anthonys condemned Polycarp to imprisonment. The Chernigov prince, for his part, did not allow Anthony into Chernigov 308. The people of Kiev were convinced that from the blessed. What Polycarp did was unfair. When in 1189 Prince Mstislav Andreevich took Kyiv and allowed his troops to plunder residents, cathedral churches and monasteries for three days, the Kievans said that this was allowed for the metropolitan’s untruth before Abbot Polycarp. – It was a very bitter time for Kyiv. Lavra, one of the Kyiv monasteries, survived then, although it was set on fire by the Berendeys, allies of the prince. Mstislava. - It’s not in vain, Rev. Athanasius encouraged the Pechersk monks to repent and pray. In February 1170, Pechersk abbot Polycarp and abbot Andreevsky transferred the deceased Prince Vladimir from Vyshgorod to Kyiv. - This means that Blessed Polycarp had already been returned to command of the Lavra 309. In 1174, together with the Metropolitan, he met the new Grand Duke. In the turmoil of time, he ruled the monastery for another 8 years, being a very old man 310. The Kiev Chronicle says about 1182: “in the same summer, the blessed archimandrite, abbot of Pechersk Polycarp, reposed. July in the 24th day - and hid his body, burying it with the final songs, like the commandment itself” 311. – The modern chronicle, calling Polycarp blessed, makes it clear that they already learned about Polycarp’s God-pleasing life. His relics, resting incorruptibly in the Anthony Cave, testify that St. Polycarp is definitely a saint of God 312. Christina, born in the city of Tyre from noble and wealthy pagan parents, when she came of age, then with her own mind, contemplating the beauty of nature, the sky and the heavenly bodies, came to comprehend the true God in His majestic creatures, learned from revelation the God-man Christ, began to pray to Him and was so disgusted by pagan beliefs in non-existent gods that one day, in a holy impulse Zeal for the truth, she crushed the household silver and gold idols and threw their fragments out the window. To her father, the ruler Urban, who was angry for this, she confessed her faith in the true God and did not renounce it either for the sake of her mother’s tears and prayers, or for the sake of fear and pain from the torture to which her own father betrayed her. Numerous and terrible were the tortures that the young martyr endured with such unshakable firmness that many pagans, struck by her as if by an incomprehensible miracle, seeing also other miracles performed through Christ, who did not suffer harm even in the fired furnace, turned with all their souls to God, whom she confessed. Her father died suddenly at night, when the exhausted Christina, at his command, was thrown into prison. His two successors, Dion and Julian, continued to torment the confessor; finally, seeing the futility of all efforts to persuade her to renounce Christ, Julian ordered Christina to be put to death, and the soldiers stabbed her with a sharp iron. The time of Christ's suffering is believed by many to be around 300, during the reign of Diocletian. Her long-suffering body was buried by one of her relatives who believed. Memory of St. Christina has been especially revered in the East since ancient times. Joseph the hymn writer (in the 9th century) wrote a canon in honor of the martyr; the kontakion speaks of the cancer of her relics, exuding healing, probably in Constantinople 313, where her memory was celebrated in two places: in her church in the new chambers and in the church of the martyr Tryphon near Irina, old and new.

Nestor in the Lives of the Princes (historical collection 4, 443–446), in the chronicle collection. l. 1, 59. 253. 5, 129. 7, 322. 323. Translated. years. 38–40). Jacob is considered in the legend (Christ. Reading 1849 2:350). Nestor in his life: “she who sought did not find much; After one summer, the hunters who walked found the body of the saint, lying intact, neither beast nor birds touched it.” Nestor in his life: “and seeing the body of the blessed one, not a single scab from the ulcers on itself, and the demon whitening like snow, and his face glowing like an angel, as if for many hours he marveled at the archbishop and all the people.” Thurs. total ist. 1859, pp. 12–14. Nestor in his life: “Archbishop, appoint priests and deacons and command them to sing in the holy church, Vespers and Matins and St. Celebrate the liturgy all day long and appoint an elder for them. So you’re off to your Catholic klisia.” (ϰαϑολιϰην εϰϰλησιαν). It can be seen that in Nesterovo’s time the cathedral church of the archbishop was called the Greek name of the Catholic Church, ekklisia, of course, from the fact that under Metropolitan. The Greeks spoke Greek, as they performed the service. Nestor in the life, Jacob in the story. (Christ. Ch. 1849. 2, 356. 359–361), Step. book 1, 199–209. The holiday of July 24 “the passion of St. Boris and Gleb" - in the month-books of the 12th and 13th centuries (Muz. Rumyants., pp. 171. 172). In the Serbian prologue of the 13th century: “in the same year (July 24) is the day of the holy martyr, the king of Rush, Borys and Bread” (Ex. 91, note. 10). The service to the holy martyrs on July 24, which is still printed in the menaions, is known from the 12th century (Zap. Acad. 2. 2. 121-126). In it, Boris and Gleb are called newly-minted miracle workers, the Russian people are referred to as newly enlightened people. lame. In the 12th-century mena the name of the composer of the service, John, is certain. Nestor's news about the private events of the discovery of the relics is definite. In 1019 they sent to find the body of the prince. Gleb and the following year they moved it to Vyshgorod. The burial was followed by signs, the destruction of the church by fire, the position of the relics in the chapel; materials for the new church were prepared even in winter; The consecration of the church was scheduled for July 24 only to take place on the day of the death of St. Boris.
