Holy Martyr Lucian, Presbyter of Antioch Originally from the city of Samosata, in Syria, the son of noble parents, Lucian received a good education, which opened the way for him to secular positions. However, having fallen in love with higher spiritual subjects from a young age, after the death of his parents, he distributed all his property to the poor, devoted himself to his favorite activities and, coming to the confessor Macarius in Odessa, used his instructions in the study of the Holy Scriptures; at the same time, he led a strict life, for which, as well as for the zealous spread of the word of God between Jews and pagans, he was ordained to the rank of presbyter of Antioch. Here Lucian set up a school, and he himself devoted himself to the study of Scripture and the active preaching of faith in Christ. In 303, during the persecution under Diocletian, he, along with other confessors of the faith, suffered from the persecution of the persecutors in Nicomedia, but this time, beyond expectation, he was released and returned to Antioch, where he continued his previous Christian activities. At this time, he added to his studies the correction of the Greek text of the Bible, which is recognized as a great merit, since at that time the text of Scripture was largely distorted - partly by errors that crept into it from copyists, partly by deliberate changes on the part of malicious people. For the sake of this useful work, Lucian first studied the Hebrew language. In 311, when the rage of the persecutors of Christianity, as if aware of the approach of its triumph, reached its extreme limits, Lucian was captured and brought to Nicomedia, where Emperor Maximilian was then located; but, not fearing danger, he boldly presented to the tormenting prefect an apology he had composed in defense of Christian truths with the strongest and most eloquent arguments. In it, by the way, mentioning the resurrection of Christ, Lucian says: “I will use the testimony of the very place where it happened; the place itself agrees with me: Mount Golgotha, scattered under the glory of the Cross, that cave, which, after opening the entrances of the underworld, again returned the animate body, so that it would ascend to heaven brighter... I bring you as a witness the sky itself, which, having seen what the wicked were doing on earth, hid its light at noon. Search your chronicles and you will find that under Pilate, when Christ suffered, the day was interrupted by a solar eclipse.” But the heart of a man - an inveterate pagan - responded with only hopeless insensibility to this calling of the most insensitive nature as a witness to the truth... Lucian, for his fearless confession of Christ, was thrown into prison in heavy chains and doomed to death by starvation. He was, however, offered food sacrificed to idols, he was even tortured to force him to taste it, but tormented by torture and exhausted from hunger, he answered only one thing: “I am a Christian.” Finally, Lucian’s strength was exhausted from hunger, he felt the proximity of death and his soul rejoiced. Detached from everything earthly, he only wished to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ once again on earth. And so, lying on his back, almost motionless due to extreme weakness, the presbyter of God made a bloodless sacrifice on his chest on the feast of the Epiphany, to prepare for the death of himself and other Christians imprisoned with him. The very next day he died a painful death of starvation. His body, thrown into the sea, was miraculously recovered, and over it subsequently, in 326, the Church of St. Equal to the Apostles Helen, in Drepan, named after her Elenopol. The work of St. Lucian, i.e., the books of Holy Scripture corrected by him, as protection from enemies of the faith, during his confessional feat - were preserved in the wall, where the box with the manuscript was filled with lime and found in the presence of the blessed Constantine. (For more information on St. Lucian, see “Hist. Teaching about the Father’s Church” by Archbishop Philar. Chernigov. §§ 71, 72, 73). Rev. Euthymius the New, Deacon of Thessalonica Euthymius, in the world - Nikita, was born in 824. “He had the country of Galatia as his earthly and temporary fatherland, and in terms of the height of his active and contemplative perfections he was rightly a citizen of the highest Zion,” says the compiler of his life. His parents, pious people, “having once shone with themselves, now shine in distant posterity with the radiance of their son,” because they managed to raise in him a Christian wholly devoted to God. Euthymius's whole life from childhood was pleasing to God and led to that death, which serves as the beginning of a blessed eternity for the wanderers and strangers of the earth who loved it more than the temporary world. – Left an orphan after his father, he, still quite young, was already a real assistant to his mother in her care of the house and family; Nikita was not distracted from these household labors by military service, which he had to enroll in according to the regulations of that time. Having married a worthy girl, chosen for him by his mother, Nikita prepared her to be a good assistant in family affairs. Soon God blessed this union with the birth of their daughter Anastasia. Then the young Christian decided to satisfy his personal, prevailing and irresistible spiritual aspirations... Hoping that the born child would be sufficient consolation for both his mother and wife, Nikita decided to leave his family in order to devote himself exclusively to serving God on the monastic path, especially since his married sister, Maria, who lived in his father’s house, also remained with the family as an assistant. Thus, one day, without warning anyone, Nikita left his father’s house, went around many places, visiting ascetics, arrived at Olympus, where, after living for some time under the leadership of two great elders, Ioannikis and John, he was tonsured into monasticism with the name Euthymius; He went through difficult obediences in the monastery, through which he acquired such humility that he became above passions, drove out despondency from his soul, bridled his tongue, submitted himself to abstinence, and acquired prayer. Having reached a high degree of spiritual development, he turned his gaze to desert life and retired to Mount Athos, where he was attracted by the glory of its ascetics. On the way to Athos, Euthymius went to Nicomedia, since here he could receive dear news about his relatives; he learned that they were alive, but grieving for him. Having received such news, Euthymius sent them a cross and instructed the messenger to tell them that he was already a monk and advised them to follow his example... At first, such a proposal seemed strange to them, and the mother, wife and sisters continued to cry about what had been separated from them, then, reflecting, they accustomed themselves to the idea of ​​monasticism and, having given Euthymius’ daughter Anastasia in marriage, to whom they were given all their property, they themselves voluntarily devoted themselves to monastic life. Euthymius, having finally renounced earthly passions, devoted himself even more than before to severe asceticism on Athos. For three years he lived hopelessly in silence, in a secluded cave, in the labors of spiritual struggle between the inner and outer man, between the mental and the spiritual man - understandable only to those who have experienced them... And he found heaven in his cave... and when he came out of it to other ascetics who had long been waiting for him, he could edify them both in word and in life. From Athos, according to a special revelation, Euthymius went to Thessaloniki and in the mountains, east of the city, on the top of Peristera, founded a monastery in 863 and restored the church of St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called in a desolate place that covered the ruins of the former church, turned into a sheepfold. Many zealous monks gathered here to see Euthymius; the desert took on the likeness of a city with a large crowd of people seeking the spiritual guidance of the revered ascetic. Thus, around him, “if not completely destroyed, then evil was diminished and replaced by the prosperity of all good” ... Subsequently, Euthymius founded a women's monastery here, in which his mother and wife labored, and his sister, who took the schema with the name of Euthymia, was the abbess. After 14 years of managing the monasteries, Euthymius again labored on Mount Athos until he felt his death approaching and, burdened by the frequent violation of silence due to the many people who came to him, he retired to the Sacred Island, taking with him only one monk George. Here he settled again in a cave and, after five months of solitary ascetic preparation for his departure from the world, after a short and mild illness he died on the 15th day of October, around 884. The relics of St. Euphemia, found incorrupt in a cave, now rests in the city of Thessaloniki, which is why the monk is called Thessalonian, although his fatherland was another place (the village of Opso, near the city of Ancyra, in Galatia). St. Luke, Bishop of Novgorod St. Luke the Jew, remembered by the Church also on February 10th among the nine saints of Novgorod, as far as is known, the first of the Russians was awarded the episcopate in 1035. With him and under his supervision, the St. Sophia Cathedral was built in Novgorod, which he consecrated in 1049. In 1055, slandered by his servant Dudik, Bishop Luke was summoned to Kyiv, where after three years of imprisonment he was acquitted and released, and his slanderer had his nose and hands cut off as punishment. St. Luke died on his way back from Kiev to Novgorod, in 1058, and was buried in the St. Sophia Cathedral. After 500 years, his relics were found incorrupt and placed in the Martyrian porch. Saint Luke the “teacher” enlightened his flock with simple, sincere teachings. They can be judged by what has survived to this day: “First of all, we, brothers, must keep this commandment - to believe in one God, the glorified Trinity, in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as the Apostles taught and the holy fathers confirmed. “I believe in one God” and so on. Believe in the resurrection, eternal life, eternal torment of sinners. Don’t be lazy, go to church for Matins, Mass and Vespers, and in your cell, when going to bed, bow to God, and then go to bed. In church, stand with the fear of God, don’t talk, don’t think about anything else, but pray to God with all your soul to forgive your sins. Have love for every person, and especially for the brethren; Don’t have one thing in your heart and another on your lips. Don’t dig a hole for your brother, lest God cast you into something worse. Love the truth, and for the truth, for God’s law, be ready to die, so that God will count you among the saints. Bear insults from each other, do not repay evil for evil; Praise each other, and God will praise you. Do not quarrel with others, lest they call you the son of the devil; make peace so that you will be a son of God. – Don’t judge your brother mentally; remember your sins, so that God does not condemn you too. Have mercy on the strange, the wretched, those imprisoned, and be merciful to your orphans (slaves); He is very merciful who protects his family from grief. You should not speak shameful words and become angry every day; do not humiliate others, do not laugh at anyone; endure in adversity, having trust in God. Don’t be violent and proud, but consider others better than yourself - remember that maybe tomorrow you will be stench, pus, worms. Be humble, meek, and reticent, so that you can be both listeners and doers of the law of God; The proud one has the devil in his heart, and God’s word will not cling to him. Honor the old man and your parents. Do not swear in the name of God and do not conjure or curse another. Judge truthfully, do not take bribes. Don't lend money on interest. Fear God; honor the prince; slaves, obey first God, then your masters; honor the priest of God, honor the servants of the church. Do not kill, do not lie, do not steal, do not be a false witness, do not quarrel, do not envy, do not slander; do not be angry or insolent; Rejoice with those who rejoice, be sad with those who are sad; honor holy days. God is peace with everyone. Amen" 195. † Repose of St. John, Bishop of Suzdal Blazh. John, at a young age, entered a monastic monastery and here labored in God-loving asceticism 196. Prince Konstantin Vasilyevich, having fallen in love with Nizhny-Novgorod, made it instead of Suzdal the main city of his vast principality. This was in 1350 197. At the same time, he wished to have with him a special bishop, separate from Rostov and Vladimir, and turned to the patriarch with a request for this; in accordance with his desire, the pious John was consecrated (1350) by the patriarch as bishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Suzdal 198. This dedication was not without its troubles. Blazh. M. Theognostus obeyed the orders of the patriarch; That’s not how he was received in Suzdal. – In the chronicle we read: “in 1351, Rev. Metropolitan Theognostus gave his blessing to serve Bishop Daniel of Suzdal; he was excommunicated for some guilt and again assumed his former rank” 199. – What was Daniel’s guilt? It is very likely that the Bishop of Suzdal rebelled with a murmur against the orders of the Patriarch for the consecration of John as Bishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Suzdal and was therefore banned. After that, the news of the chronicle about Daniel’s permission should be attributed only to the priesthood, and not to the independent management of the Suzdal diocese 200, since after that Bishop John ruled the Suzdal monasteries. When the pious Prince Boris Konstantinovich wished to establish a new monastery in Suzdal, the blessed Saint John not only appointed Rev. Euphemia as an executor of the prince's good will, but he himself consecrated the place for the monastery and then (1352) Euphemia as an archimandrite 201. – The blessed archpastor, rejoicing at the successes of the courageous prince Constantine, who subjugated wild Mordva to his power, diligently sowed the seed of the word of God in a new field, between Mordva 202. He won the hearts of St. faith especially with its high goodness and living piety. - Unselfish and compassionate, he cared more about the peace of others than about his own. It seemed to him that the peasants who lived on church lands were subject to heavy taxes, and he eased their duties. He established almshouses for the sick and elderly. He aroused and supported piety among the people by periodically performing processions of the cross. Once, on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, he served the liturgy in the Euthymian monastery. Prince Boris saw that someone clothed with light and glory was serving with the saint. At the urgent request of the prince, the saint said that this was an angel of God who had served him at other times. The pious Prince Andrei Konstantinovich, telling the saint that while sailing along the Volga he was in great danger from a storm and then made a vow to build a convent in honor of the Intercession of the Mother of God, asked for his blessing and advice on building a monastery. The saint blessed the good wishes of the prince, appointed a place for the new monastery and appointed the niece of the monastery as the abbess of the monastery. Euphemia, who until then lived in the Suzdal Alexander Monastery. This was in 1364 203. Soon after this, the saint buried the pious Prince Andrew; and then strong disputes opened between the prince brothers - Boris and Dimitri. High Hierarch Alexy on the grounds that under Metropolitan. To Maxim, it was not only Vladimir who belonged to the Vladimir See, but also the cities of the Suzdal Principality, who included Suzdal, Nizhny Novgorod and Gorodets in the Metropolitan See 204. - From that time on, Blessed John, having abandoned the affairs of government, began to spend his life in solitude. In a peaceful monastery he performed feats of prayer and fasting as a silent man 205. A wall inscription from 1635 in the Suzdal Cathedral says: “l. 6882 Oct. 15 days (1373) Saint John rests here.” His relics rest hidden in the Suzdal Cathedral. The inscription on the sewn cover says: “l. July 28, 7086 (1578) - I placed a cover on the coffin of the great wonderworker Ivan the Bishop of Vladimirov, Princess Eupraxia of the Appanage. – On the same cover is embroidered a troparion, in which St. John is glorified as a miracle worker. “He commanded and taught the ill-intentioned churchman to quickly see the light through prayer, just as St. Leonty, “bless the connection and again” 206. – So in 1578 Saint John was already venerated among the saints. Churches were erected in his honor on the Suzdal side; and the service to him was written at the beginning of the 16th century 207. – A century ago, and precisely in 1743, this is what happened with the saint’s cancer: Suzdalian Ivan Zhilinin, from March. paralyzed, he was deprived of the use of his tongue, arms and legs. On October 27, he confessed aloud to everyone in the church that in a dream vision a man appeared to him, dressed in light clothes, and, calling himself John, Bishop of Suzdal, he ordered them to go to the cathedral to receive complete healing there. The patient woke up and did not feel sick; barefoot he ran into the church and kissed the holy shrine of the saint with delight 208. After that, the Synod confirmed to honor locally the memory of Saints Theodore and John, as they had hitherto honored 209. † Repose of Saint Dionysius, Archbishop of Suzdal From a young age, devoting himself to the service of God, blessed Dionysius, in the world of David, following the example of the Kyiv Pechersk ascetics, dug for himself a cave on the banks of the Volga, 5 versts from Nizhny Novgorod. In his Pechersk monastery, the Pechersk Icon of the Mother of God with the upcoming Anthony and Theodosius, brought by Dionysius from Kyiv 210, is preserved. – This makes it clear that blessed David was tonsured as a monk in the Kyiv cave monastery and from here he brought his love for cave life to the banks of the Volga. In his cave, blessed Dionysius first lived alone as a hermit. When those who wanted to strive monastically with him appeared, he founded (around 1335) a monastery in honor of the Ascension of the Lord 211. Through his strict ascetic life and extensive knowledge of the rules of faith and piety, he gained fame and respect. They saw in him “a meek, prudent man, knowledgeable of the Holy Scriptures, a teacher, glorious in fasting and filled with love for everyone” 212. Under his leadership, St. Euthymius of Suzdal and Macarius of Unzhensk received their initial monastic education. He taught instructions to the blessed princess Theodora. – In the Pechersk monastery, under his leadership, teaching elders were formed, such as Pavel the Tall. With his blessing, 12 of his disciples, including Rev. Euthymius, planted monastic monasteries in different places in the country of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod 213. Saint Alexy, personally knowing the virtues and education of Dionysius, in 1374 ordained him Bishop of Suzdal 214. The following year, the blessed archpastor had to put his own life in danger to save others. The people, irritated by the willfulness of the Mamaev ambassadors, killed several of them; By order of the prince, the chief ambassador Murza Saraiko was imprisoned with his squad in the fortress, for his own safety. But since it was discovered that the wild squad was plotting murder, they wanted to take the Tatars to different places. Having learned about this, Saraiko rushed with his servants to the ruler’s house, set fire to the courtyard and began shooting at the people. Dionysius tried to calm both strangers and his own, but almost lost his life: one Tatar arrow pierced his robe. The irritated people killed the angry steppe inhabitants 215. In 1377, the saint mourned the death of the troops of Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow on the Piyanaya River and the subsequent devastation of Nizhny by the Tatars 216. – After the death of Saint Alexis († 1378), the Monk Sergius, who first recognized Dionysius in the Pechersk Monastery (in 1365), proposed a veil. Prince Dimitri to elect Dionysius as metropolitan. But he did. the prince and boyars certainly wanted to see Metropolitan Mityai, the court priest. “Unfortunately, secular people like Mityai - clever and easy people, for whom piety is an unimportant matter. – Mityai was elected metropolitan. Favorite led. The prince did not even observe decency in his new happiness. He behaved so proudly and arrogantly that, not being ordained a saint, he put on the metropolitan mantle, wore a white hood, treated the clergy imperiously and took the income of the high priest for himself 217. He asked for a lead. prince, so that his dedication would take place in Moscow. The Grand Duke invited bishops to consecrate Mityai. Blessed Dionysius, appearing before the leader. Prince, boldly said: “Who is it that teaches you, sir, to change the law at your own discretion? What is desired from you and from us should not be.” The Grand Duke refused his wish. Mityai was greatly offended by the destruction of his dream and seethed with annoyance at Dionysius. “Why,” he said to Dionysius, “haven’t you been with me until now and accepted my blessing?” Dionysius replied: “Because I am a bishop and you are a priest, you have no right to bless me.” Mityai trembled with anger and threatened with a cry that he would deprive Dionysius of the priesthood and with his own hands would tear off the tablets from his mantle. After that, Mityai hurried to Constantinople. Dionysius went there because the patriarch had called him to him, and he needed to seek protection for himself. This was in 1380 218. Dionysius stayed in Constantinople for more than a year. He used this time for the benefit of not only his flock, but also the entire Russian Church. For his flock, he sent from Constantinople two exact copies of the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria, then he acquired part of the Life-Giving Tree and the relics of some saints 219. “The most important thing was that he explained to the Patriarch the danger in which the Russian Church is from the Strigolniki heresy, which has intensified in Pskov and Novgorod. The Patriarch, having personally recognized the high merits of Dionysius, honored him with the rank of archbishop, gave him a phelonion with crosses and a surplice with sources. If Dionysius had desired the highest honor, given the patriarch’s disposition towards him, he, after the unfortunate death of Mityai, could have asked for the rank of metropolitan. But he did not seek earthly honor, but desired the glory of God. “We found him,” the patriarch wrote in his letter, worthy of all praise: we saw his fasting and tears, prayer and almsgiving, everything that signifies a spiritual man of God; He was also present at the holy council, spiritually talked with the bishops about the Holy Scriptures, and showed zeal for the faith and a deep understanding of the sacred rules. - That is why he was awarded an honorary rank, with the elevation of his department to the level of archbishopric, second after Novogorod; He was given a surplice with sources and a phelonion with four crosses and the faces of the Evangelists” 220. The Patriarch instructed the enlightened and zealous archpastor to personally be in the Novgorod flock and make efforts to exterminate heresy there. “Our humility and the great council,” wrote the Patriarch of Pskov, sent to you the God-loving Archbishop of Suzdal Dionysius, an honest, pious, virtuous man, a famous keeper of the sacred canons; on our behalf he will visit and bless you, teach and instruct you, arrange what is necessary and unite you with the Catholic Apostolic Church of God; you must learn that those who are excommunicated from the Church are excommunicated from Christ God Himself; whatever you hear from his lips, accept as our own word” 221. Equipped with patriarchal letters, Blessed. Dionysius returned to Russia at the end of 1381. He was in Novgorod and Pskov and managed to greatly shake up the pernicious heresy of the Strigolniks 222 there. At the same time, he established a hostel in the Pskov Svetogorsk Monastery. “With God’s help,” he wrote in a letter to the monastery, as the Most Holy Ecumenical Patriarch, caring for the salvation of souls and the conversion of the lost, commanded me, I return those who have deviated from it to the right path, to the monastic community.” Having resolved those guilty of self-will, he decrees: “neither the abbot nor the brothers should have anything of their own; They must neither eat nor drink in their cells; the necessary clothes must be taken from the abbot, and simple clothes, made from ordinary, and not from German cloth, lamb fur coats without edges; shoes should be taken from the abbot; don’t have an extra dress.” He then justifies such an establishment with the words of Vasily V., Ephraim, Climacus and others 223. On the feast of the Epiphany (1382) he arrived in Suzdal and then was in Nizhny. In his beloved Pechersk monastery, he mourned the death of the great elder Paul, the ascetic teacher 224. Vel. The prince now saw the virtues of the blessed one. Dionysius and in June 1383 sent him to Constantinople to be appointed metropolitan, in place of Pimen, who had acquired a high rank in addition to the Grand Duke. The merits of Dionysius were known in Constantinople, and therefore they agreed to fulfill the Grand Duke’s request for him if the plenipotentiaries of the council found Pimen’s case wrong. Blessed Dionysius, returning to Russia through Kyiv, was detained here by the Lithuanian Prince Vladimir Olgerdovich. The Prince of Lithuania announced that if the Prince of Moscow, of his own free will, expelled Cyprian, Metropolitan of all Russia, from Moscow, then the Prince of Kiev, following him, detained Dionysius. In relation to the Holy Church, this meant that human arbitrariness brings with it into the Holy Church. The Church is only suffering and disorder. In relation to the blessed For Dionysius, this meant that the Lord was once again, and for the last time, subjecting him to purifying sorrows. “The Lord loves whomever, teaches St. Scripture punishes him: he beats every son in whom he is pleased” (Heb. 12:6). “It is good for me that I suffer in order to learn Your statutes” (Ps. 119:71), confesses the sacred singer. Blessed Dionysius spent time in his cave cell in prayer and contrition of heart 225. The ascetic shepherd died in the Kyiv cave on October 15, 1384 226. “His body, the chronicles say, is intact and incorruptible to this day” 227. According to ancient monuments he is called a miracle worker 228. In the Pechersk canon they pray to St. Dionysius 229. Pouch.
