Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary At the beginning of the 10th century, in 910, during the Saracen invasion of the Greek Empire, St. Andrew the Holy Fool and his disciple Epiphanius, being on the 1st day of October in the Blachernae Church of Constantinople, in which the robe of the Mother of God was kept, during the all-night Sunday singing, saw the miraculous appearance of the Most Holy One in the air. The Virgin Mary, surrounded like a crown by prophets, apostles and angels, shining with sunlight, praying for a sinful world and covering Christians with Her honest omophorion. Andrei, who was granted this vision, asked his disciple Epiphanius: “Do you see, brother, the Queen and Lady of all, praying for the whole world?” “I see, St. “Father,” Epiphanius answered him, “and I am horrified.” The vision was glorified first by those praying in the church, then throughout Constantinople. The feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God was established in the Russian Church, which consecrated the day of its appearance with a solemn celebration. The vision followed on October 1, and so on this day the Church established the holiday of the annual remembrance of the appearance of the special veil of the Mother of God over her. Glorifying her Heavenly Intercessor, the Church sings: “Today we brightly celebrate people of good faith, overshadowed by Your coming, O Mother of God, and looking to Your most pure image, we tenderly say: cover us with Your honorable cover and deliver us from all evil, praying to Your Son Christ our God to save our souls.” “Mistress, with the honest and glorious prophets, with the supreme Apostles, and with the holy martyrs, and with the bishops, prayed to God for us sinners, Thy protection holiday is glorified in the Russian land.” These words explain that the Feast of the Intercession was really established in Russia. The Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary is especially revered in the Orthodox Church. Russia. He is great, and besides the Divine service befitting him, Orthodox. The church has an akathist to the Intercession of the Mother of God. Celebration of the Pskov-Pokrovskaya Icon of the Virgin Mary This icon is located in the Pskovgrad Intercession Church, and an exact copy of it is in the Moscow Assumption Cathedral, above the southern doors of the chapel in the name of St. Ap. Peter and Paul, in a wooden icon case. The celebration of the Pskov-Pokrovskaya Icon in Pskov was established in memory of the deliverance of Pskov in 1581 from a stubborn siege by the Polish king Stefan Batory. In August 1581, on the 26th, Stefan Batory surrounded Pskov with his troops. On the 27th of August, a few days before the attack ordered by Batory, at the corner of the fortress at the Intercession Monastery, now the parish church, one pious old man, named Dorotheus, a blacksmith, sat in the vestibule of his cell and mourned the disaster of the city. Suddenly he saw an extraordinary light, which, like a pillar, rose to the skies above the Pskov Pechersk monastery, going from it to Pskov across the Velikaya River, on the left side of the Mirozhsky Monastery. In this light he saw the Most Holy Theotokos walking through the air and accompanied on the left hand by the Monk Anthony, the head of the Kyiv caves, and on the right by Cornelius, abbot of the Assumption Pskov-Pechersk monastery. The Mother of God, passing through the air through the city wall, entered together with these saints into the Church of the Intercession. Coming out of the church and standing with those saints on the city wall, she asked: “Where is the Mirozh builder Nifont, bishop. Novgorodsky? With these words of her St. the bishop appeared before Her and, bowing with a look of deep sorrow, said: “Mistress! There will be no liturgy in my monastery this summer.” To this, the Mother of God said: “I have willed this for My Son and God.” Then she cried out: “Where are the chosen ones of God who are in the Church of the Holy Trinity?” And immediately the noble princes Vasily of Kiev, Gabriel and Timofey of Pskov appeared before Her, and behind them, at a distance of half a fathom, stood Blessed Nicholas and St. Euphrosynus and Savva, and everyone bowed to Her with reverence. The Mother of God, looking at the city with a look of sorrow, said: “Oh, lawless people! You have angered My Son, the Lord and God, and besieged this city with nasty deeds. And now great trouble has come upon you.” At this time, Abbot Cornelius and Euphrosynus with Savva, standing on the right hand, and Blessed Nicholas, falling before Her, prayed with tears: “Mistress! There is sin and lawlessness among people, do not be extremely angry with them, but pray to Your Son and our God for this city and for the people who have sinned.” After this, all the noble princes, falling at her feet, prayed with tears to Her for the protection of the city. Then the Mother of God called to Her the elder, who was rewarded with a vision, and at the same moment he saw himself standing at the feet of the Mother of God, who said to him: “Elder! go immediately to the God-loving governors and to the Pechersk abbot, and to the Cathedral of the Most Holy. Trinity, and tell them to diligently and unceasingly pray to the Lord God and bring the old Pechersk icon and banner to the wall of the city where I stand, and to place one cannon here and the other below, to fire from them at the royal tents and to the left behind the royal tents.” Pointing with her hand to the designated places, the Most Pure Mother of God commanded him to announce to the people that they should cry about their sins and pray to the merciful God; “And I,” added the Mother of God, will pray to My Son and God for the forgiveness of your sins.” The miraculous vision of the Mother of God, which was to Dorotheus, is depicted on the icon, on which the Mother of God with St. Anthony and Cornelius, with the noble princes of Kyiv and Pskov Gabriel and Timothy and Nicholas the Holy Fool of Pskov. This icon contains a description of the miraculous appearance of the Mother of God and a special service was compiled to commemorate this. This icon became famous for its miracles and became known under the name of Pskov-Pokrovskaya, after the church in which it is located, and its celebration takes place on October 1st. And in the Moscow Assumption Cathedral a celebration of this icon is held in gratitude for the victory over the Turks and Tatars after the war with them from 1736 to 1740. Venerable Roman the Sweet Singer, creator of the canons “And it shall come to pass in those days that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” – And the implementation of these words of the prophet (Joel 2:28) constitutes an inalienable and most precious heritage of the world. Having already manifested itself in the chosen ones of the Old Testament by the outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the ancient prophets, it began to manifest itself even more abundantly in the persons illuminated by the New Testament Revelation. It manifested itself more clearly and, so to speak, in the most significant way on the Apostles, when they, “at the coming of the day of Pentecost, being with one accord together, were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance” ... and were thus gifted with an instrument for disseminating in the world the word of that Truth that their hearts had already received. And since then, the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit in the Christian Church in the person of those whom He chooses as worthy vessels to receive His various gifts have continued and are not interrupted: “There are different gifts, but the Spirit is the same; and the ministries are different, but the Lord is the same; and actions are different, but God is one and the same, producing everything in everyone. But everyone is given the manifestation of the Spirit for their benefit. To one is given the word of wisdom by the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge is given by the same Spirit; to another, faith, by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another diversities of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He pleases” (1 Cor. 12:4-12). So the soul of St., remembered today by the Church. Roman was visited and overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, “who loves to look at the humble of heart,” and wretched in the eyes of people, but full of love for God, he endowed him with the tools of knowledge and words, which glorified the power of God in him and turned him – the mute one – into the glorious “Sweet Singer,” magnified by the Church. “A bright and luminous lamp,” she praises Roman, “a sweet-voiced zither, the string of glorious words of the Spirit sings sonorously and teaches the ends to glorify the one light of the Divine with incessant songs.” Roman was born and raised in Emes of Syria; in Berita he was a sexton at the church. From childhood he led a pious and chaste life, which brought him to true asceticism. So, having moved to Constantinople, where he lived at the Church of the Mother of God, called Kirov, he, not limiting himself to working on the church, spent his nights in the field, in prayer, or went to the night vigil at the Blachernae Church - outside the city. Having received the appointment as a sexton at the St. Sophia Church, Roman, continuing his ascetic service to God, was not distinguished by the art of singing and reading, which was required of those serving at the famous capital’s church. Nevertheless, Patriarch Euthymius (490-504) loved and distinguished him from other ministers and even gave him an equal lot with the clergy who made up the church choir, while he occupied a lower position at the church, was engaged in lighting candles and lamps and maintaining cleanliness in the church. This aroused envy and anger against Roman, the clergy treated him with contempt and persecuted him with ridicule. Once on the eve of the Nativity of Christ, when Emperor Anastasius himself was present in the church and Roman was lighting candles, the singers began to force him to sing on the pulpit and pushed him, saying: “You get an equal part with us, so come to the pulpit and sing with us... – Ashamed of his inability to sing, ridiculed in front of all the people, Roman, at the end of the service, left alone in the church, fell down with tears in front of the icon of the Mother of God and poured out before Her his grief about his ignorance and inability to sing of God like others... Returning to his place, “having had his fill of tears and not having tasted bread,” he lay down and fell asleep. In a dream, he saw the Mother of God, who, giving him a scroll of the charter, said to him: “open your mouth and taste,” and at the same time mysteriously conveyed to him the gift of creation in song, since when he woke up, he felt inexpressible consolation in his heart, and enlightenment and unusual understanding in his mind... Overshadowed by inspiration from above, Roman, after the morning of the holiday, at the time when the singer should have sung the kontakion, ascended to the pulpit and, to everyone’s surprise, sang his composed song in his mind in a beautiful voice: “Today a virgin gives birth to the Most Essential, and the earth brings a den to the Unapproachable; angels and shepherds praise, while wise men travel with a star; For our sake, the Young Child, the Eternal God, was born!” After listening to this new song, the patriarch asked Roman: who taught him to sing like that? Roman conveyed to him the vision of the Mother of God that had happened to him, and then everyone glorified the gift of God, manifested in a simple, non-bookish man... The Patriarch elevated Roman to the rank of deacon, and the zealous servant of God, visited by God’s mercy, began to pour out his soul in numerous inspired chants, with which the Orthodox Church has glorified God during Divine services since then and to this day. The number of hymns of the Roman (kontakia and ikos) extends to 1000. The best of them, in addition to the above, are considered: 1) stichera for the forefeast of the Nativity of Christ: “Angelic powers precede; You who are in Bethlehem, prepare a manger! The word is born, wisdom occurs; Church, accept the kiss for the joy of the Mother of God. Let us cry, nations: Blessed is our coming God; glory to You!” – And 2) kontakia and ikos on Vel. heels The first kontakion and ikos are known from the Triodion, the 2nd kontakion: “I, Child, did not hope to see You like this, I did not trust it until the lawless laid hands on You. For behold, the children cry out to You: Blessed are You. – I would like to know why the trouble happened? Woe is Me! How my light goes out! How all of Him is on the cross!” 3rd Kontakion: “They are taking You, Child, to lawless murder - and no one will have compassion for You: Peter, who said to You, does not follow You: I will not deny You, even if I die. Thomas left you, who cried: let us all die with Him. All the rest, our own and known ones, who have to judge the tribes of Israel, where are they? There is not one! You die alone for everyone, a single child, instead of the one who saved everyone and did good to everyone.” 4th kontakion: “Mary was distressed by great sorrow and then, as she cried out and cried out in great sorrow, He who was from Her turned to Her and spoke thus: Why are you crying, My Mother? What will I bring to all the other wives if I don’t suffer, if I don’t die? How can I save Adam if I don’t live in the tomb? How will I attract those in hell to life if I do not move into the tomb? You see - I was crucified unrighteously. Why are you crying, Mati? Above all, cry out that I suffer according to my will.” 5th kontakion: “Drive away, Mother, Your sorrow; It is indecent for you to cry; They will call you blessed; do not cover this phenomenon with weeping, do not become like the unwise, wise Virgin; You are in the midst of My bridal chamber, as if standing with your soul outside it; do not darken those who are in the chamber, for everyone who flows listens to You when You say: “Where is He?” Kontakion 6: “Do not mistake the day of suffering for a bitter day: through You I came sweet from heaven like manna; not on bitter waters before, but in thy womb was revealed; here it is strewn, as David foretold about the strewn mountain: thoughts, Pure: I am. Being the Word, I became flesh in You; in it I suffer, in it I save. Don’t cry, Mother, but cry out, rejoicing: He accepts suffering with love.” Having enriched the church treasury with his creations, in which his God-loving soul was poured out, having gained general veneration for his pious life, Rev. Roman died around 510. He was buried in the Kirov Church, where he was later commemorated with special celebration. “Adorned with the divine virtues of the spirit from childhood, Roman the wise,” the Church itself glorifies the creator of church songs, “thou art a most honorable adornment of the Church of Christ: for having adorned the blessed one with beautiful singing.” “Behold, you have abundantly nourished our thoughts with wise teachings and red chants, and filled us with the most Divine sweets, O Romane’s blessing.” “With inspired songs, you, blessed one, proclaimed the ineffable economy of Christ and crowned all the saints with praises; with them, wise Father, you glorified the pure Virgin and true Mother of God, with whom you stand before the Trinity, have mercy on us!” “Grant to those who desire your Divine gift, as we cry to you: Rejoice, blessed Father, beauty of the Church!” Holy Apostle Ananias from 70 Chosen by Jesus Christ to be one of the 70 Apostles, the disciple of the Savior, Ananias, lived in the city of Damascus, when the Lord appeared to him in a vision and commanded him to go to a Tarsian named Saul, who “was now praying and saw in a vision a man named Ananias, who came to him and laid his hand on him so that he could receive his sight” 1 ... And when Ananias expressed confusion about how to go to the man, who had done much harm to the saints of God in Jerusalem, then “The Lord said to him, Go, for he is My chosen vessel, to proclaim My name before the nations and kings and the children of Israel, and I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”2 And then “Ananias went and entered the house indicated by the Lord and, laying his hands on Saul, said: Brother Saul! The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the way, sent me so that you could receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit!” 3. And when Saul received his sight, Ananias baptized him; Later, when the Jews were looking for an opportunity to kill Paul because from a persecutor of Christ he had become a zealous preacher of His teachings, Ananias and other disciples took Paul at night and lowered him down the wall of the house in a basket to save him from the Jews guarding him at the gate of the house. The Holy Apostle Ananias suffered martyrdom for preaching to the Jews and pagans about Jesus Christ. After many torments, he was stoned in the city of Eleutheropolis, from where his relics were transferred by believers to his fatherland Damascus, and subsequently to Constantinople. † Venerable Savva of Vishera Rev. Savva 4, a native of the mountains. Kashin, was the second of the eight sons of Ivan Vasilyevich Borozda, a branch of the family that distinguished itself in battles 5 . Raised in piety, even when he was still in the first years of his youth, he did not like a distracted life: wearing worldly clothes, he fasted and diligently went to the church of God. Then he retired to the Savvina Tver hermitage, where they then kept an approximately strict life. Here, in all monastic services, he was a servant of God, obedient and sincerely zealous. The brethren respected his high life so much that they elected him abbot. But the affection and respect of his acquaintances became heavy on his soul, and he, giving up command over others, went to Mount Athos 6. It is not known how long he stayed on Athos, but the impressions of Athos remained in the soul for a long time, as we will see in life: it is also known that he brought with him from Athos to Russia a list of the Helmsman's Book, which was later used by Vassian, Archbishop of Rostov 7 . - Probably, he is the “unworthy and thin and lazy Savva” says: “having heard and seen the calico psalter (with the charter of those who wanted to tremble the psalter in silence as a monk and a white man), he wrote in Greek, taking pity, - he did not understand the good Greek, - but - according to the power of the exposition, the power comprehended, and handed over to you a merchant, and you will make a purchase for them.” The collection with this charter is also remarkable because it also contains interpretations of various places of St. Scriptures, with comments against various Russian weaknesses 8. Upon returning from Athos, Rev. Savva wandered in the guise of a poor monk through the monasteries of Novgorod, looking for a place for a solitary stay. Seven miles from Novgorod, on the river. Vishera, he liked the quiet place. He erected a cross here 9 and a hut nearby, and began to live as a hermit. Here you can see the living memory of the Athonite hermitage. But Rev. Savva lived like many others lived and live. One of the Novgorodians happened to pass by the place where Savva labored. The day was hot, and the deserted monk stood motionless in prayer; his face was covered with mosquitoes and torn to the point of bleeding, but he seemed to feel nothing, immersed in prayer. Amazed by this, the Novgorodian told others what kind of servant of God he saw. When word reached Archbishop John that an unknown hermit had appeared in his diocese, he sent to ask how he allowed himself to live in his diocese without his blessing? “One girl, Savva instructed to answer, was sitting at the window near the square and shamelessly looked at everyone passing by, while the other, sitting at another window, carefully preserved the purity of her soul. Good people condemned the first and approved of the second: there will be no good, they said, in that vain and distracted one. Having settled in this desert, I am running away only from the world, and not from the archpastor, whose prayers and blessings I crave.” “The Archbishop understood from this answer that the person answering was an elder of spiritual life, and he wanted to visit him. He met Savva on the way and, not recognizing him, covered in rags, barely persuaded him to go with him to Savva’s cell. A conversation during the journey showed the archbishop a humble servant of God in his companion, and the archbishop fell in love with Savva before he recognized him. In front of his cell, Savva called himself by name, and the archpastor blessed Savva with the liveliest joy of love. - Having shared a desert meal with him and enjoying his spiritual conversation, Archbishop John then sent his gifts for the desert of Sava. On the occasion of a dispute raised by the monks of the Fox Monastery over land, Rev. Savva turned to the leaders of the Slavyansky end with a request to give him a place on the river. Vishera for a desert monastery, and they lovingly allocated 10. In 1418, with the blessing of Blessed. Archbishop Simeon the Reverend built a wooden church in honor of the Ascension of the Lord and erected cells for the brethren 11. When he was building a church with his own hands, brave fellows came to him, hoping to profit from other people's goods. “Children,” Savva said, “help me lift the tree onto the wall.” He pointed them to the thin end of the log, and he took the thick one. They could not lift their end, but Savva easily lifted and put his end in place. The robbers looked at each other; “It will be bad for us,” they thought, “if such a monk decides to deal with us,” and they hastened to leave him 12. To Rev. Devotees of desert life began to appear to the ascetic. He received them with love, meeting them still far from his monastery, where the cross was erected. The monk worked more than others for the new monastery. A monk from another distant monastery, remaining in Savva’s monastery to rest, heard Savva grinding rye with a millstone all night until Matins in the neighboring cell and at the same time reading psalms, and then went to morning singing. After the monastery was established, the monk built himself a pillar not far from the monastery and began to labor on it in prayer. Wonderful freedom of spiritual life! A visitor to Athos fell in love with the Athonite hermit life, but, having learned from experience that its exact form is not entirely compatible with both the area and its location, he chooses a new type of solitude - life on a pillar. But what exact fidelity to your rule of life! His brother, who had not seen Savva for a long time, came to see him; Savva came down from the pillar, silently blessed his brother and returned to the pillar. Rev. stylite, that’s what Savva is called in the RKP. Saints, went down to the brethren from the pillar on Saturday, listened to the Sunday service, shared a meal with the brethren and then retired to the pillar. “Having settled in a foreign country and entering a silent desert, here you, venerable one, created a pillar and on it acquired heavenly wealth: having sowed in fasting and tears, you cheerfully reap the fruits of your labors. - Do not leave the monastery with your disciples, acquired by your labors; Pray to Christ, Father, that our souls may be saved." 13 This is how the monastery sings to the famous Savva. Even in his earthly life, although he lived on a pillar, apparently removed from the monastery and concerns about it, he preserved it with his prayers. One day, unkind people approached the monastery to rob it. The monk, seeing them from a distance from the pillar and understanding their intention, began to knock on the wall with his rod, and the thieves ran away in fear 14. At another time, the monk brought a bear to the meeting and, complaining that it had killed two of his work horses, asked for a trial by the mayor. The bear was condemned to work instead of a horse and worked until the death of the saint. Of course, this was a lesson for the mayors, who were not very kind to poverty. Under the leadership of Savva, people of high life were formed. His disciple Andrei, who after him took over the leadership of the monastery, so exhausted his body with fasting and vigil that he was left with only skin and bones; Rev. Ephraim Perekopsky was also his student. At the age of 80, approaching death, Rev. Savva communed with St. Tain and peacefully gave up his spirit to the Lord, October 1, 1460 (6969). Soon after the death of the saint, the monastery and its pillar burned down; but the chapel over Sava’s tomb survived the flames. This was the first miracle by which the Lord indicated in the deceased Savva a servant pleasing to Him. Then a certain Zacharias saw in a dream an old man who told him: if you want to see Savva, follow me and you will see. It seemed to Zechariah that he followed the elder, reached the tomb of the monk, saw several saints and among them the Venerable. Savva, who said a few words for his edification. The abbot of the Savvina monastery, Gelasius, fell ill from poison; In his extremity, he turned with prayer to St. Savva; Having dozed off later, he saw an old man in light clothes praying for the Church, and upon awakening he found himself completely healthy. The Novgorod saint Jonah, having learned about the miracles of the monk, ordered an icon of the saint to be painted. Savva, compose a service in honor of him and describe his life, which was performed by the enlightened monk Pachomius 15. In the chronicle we read that in the fall of 1522 the stone Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God was consecrated in the Savvina Hermitage over the relics of the saint: “that and the coffin of St. Savva Vyshersky,” she notes 16. Healings continued to flow from his tomb 17, and Rev. Savva was known by the name of the Novgorod Wonderworker 18. The sins of people continued to create their own - destruction and death; the grace of God, dwelling in the holy, brought life and prosperity into the very society of sinful people. “On the 7th day of June 1571, the chronicle says, in the Savvina Hermitage on Vishera the Church of the Intercession was consecrated, where the relics of St. our father Savva of Vishera, the Novgorod miracle worker, and they built a new shrine; this is another year after the sovereign’s military men destroyed the tomb of the miracle worker” 19. On a silk cover with the image of St. Savva’s inscription says: “in the summer of 1721, the mayor, mayor Thomas Ivanov, son Larin, laid this cover on the holy wonderworker Savva, according to his promise from the flood, for himself and for his parents” 20. Nowadays the relics of the saint rest in secret in the Church of the Intercession; on the new tomb stands an ancient icon of the saint; in his name there are two churches in the monastery 21. “Do not be deceived, the saint tells us with his life. Savva, you cannot deceive God: whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Let us not become weary in doing good; for in due season we will reap if we do not give up” (Gal. 6:7, 9). Life of the teacher Savva, described by Pachomius, in the menea of ​​Makaria. Pachomius says: “I could not describe in detail all the affairs of such a husband.” Surprisingly, he says nothing about Savva’s stay in the Savvina Hermitage; He only says: “I took monastic vows in a certain monastery, where I live a cruel life.” He describes only Savva’s stay in the Novgorod side.

Since St. Savva later saw Archbishop John (1387–1415), then his settlement on Vyshera was no later than 1415 and the erection of the cross is in vain attributed to 1417. There is a known seal with a cross in the middle and with an inscription around it: “seal of the Slavic end”, and on the reverse with an image of a saint in a crown and with the inscription: “Paul the Confessor” (Laquiera Heraldica, p. 50).
