Holy martyrs Minodora, Metrodora and Nymphodora The sisters lived in Bithynia. Out of love for a solitary and ascetic life, they retired to a certain high and empty hill about two versts from Pythia (an area near Nicomedia, where there were warm waters). They lived by their labors, helping the poor and sick. At that time, the eastern countries were ruled by the emperor Maximian Galerius (305–311), and the ruler of Bethany was a certain Fronto. This Fronto, hearing about the holy virgins, ordered them to be presented to him, asked about their names and fatherland, and promised riches and honors if they made sacrifices to the gods. He told them: “The king will love you and marry you to his great boyars; you will gain fame and wealth, just worship the gods.” But the sisters answered that they would not reject Christ, that they were ready to accept torment for Him in the hope of eternal life. Then he turned to his older sister with the words: “You are older in years and in mind, obey and bow to the gods!” “You are working in vain, prince,” she answered, “neither I nor my sisters will do this. We are ready to die for Christ." The torturer ordered the saint to be beaten; They beat her for two hours, so that the joints of the body were crushed and the bones were broken, and she died. Four days later, the other two sisters were summoned to trial; the sister's lifeless body was laid at their feet. But the confessors harbored sorrow for their sister and said: “We are ready to die for Christ!” Then Mitrodora was tortured with fire and beaten with iron sticks until she died. After this, Nymphodora was tortured in the same way. The believers buried their bodies in one coffin. Holy Apostles from the 70: Apollos, Luke and Klyma The 70 holy apostles: Apollos, Lucius and Klyma. Apollos (Acts XVIII, 24-26. 1 Corinthians III, 6) was bishop of Smyrna before Polycarp; Lucius - in Laodicea, Klim - in Sardica. About them, see the Council of the Seventy Apostles, January 4. †Saint Pulcheria Princess Pulcheria was the daughter of Emperor Arcadius; 80 her brother Theodosius was 8 years old when (in 408) he was declared emperor; his guardian was Anfimius, an intelligent and virtuous nobleman. Pulcheria was only two years older than her brother, but she far surpassed him in mental gifts and firmness of good will; from a young age she sincerely loved piety; Despite all her immaturity, she was her brother’s mentor and tried to pass on to him the best rules of life. Fluent in Greek and Latin, she had extensive knowledge - historical, philosophical, theological. In 414 she was declared Augusta, co-ruler of the emperor. The eastern empire was vast, and its affairs were not in order. That is why the smart and kind Anfimius considered it necessary for such a sister as Pulcheria to be a co-ruler with her brother. And she gave better direction to things. What Pulcheria lacked in experience in management, she made up for with the vigilance of her mind and desires for good. She tried most of all to convince her brother that without faith, without piety, the best talents are useless and politics without faith is harmful, not smart politics. This is how she directed the affairs of the empire. She did not resolve matters without prayers and advice from conscientious people. The internal unrest of the empire - matters of human passions - were calmed; peace is maintained or restored with neighboring powers; tax collection has been put in order; the army and navy are in good condition. Sciences are given ways for their success. The empire was happy, just as it was not happy under Arcadia. Pulcheria was also the teacher of her two younger sisters, Arcadia and Marina; she remained with them continuously, unless management matters distracted her. She assigned them subjects to study and gave direction to their thoughts and feelings. Beauty is deception, and beauty is vanity; a woman who has the fear of Jehovah is worthy of all praise, said the divinely inspired sage (Proverbs XXXI, 30). 81 Pulcheria firmly studied his lessons for herself and her sisters. She made a vow before God to remain a virgin until the grave. And she commemorated this vow with a monument: in the cathedral church there was a throne made of gold and precious stones, with the inscription: Vow of Virginity. She had the consolation of seeing that her sisters also decided to devote themselves to serving God. With her, the imperial palace was a truly Christian home, which it had not been for a long time: there was no place for luxury, idleness, or distraction. Pulcheria performed feats of repentance and prayer with her sisters. No man had ever set foot in the room. The co-regent received petitioners and ministers only at certain times and publicly. All this had useful consequences for the life of the empire; The princesses' vows blocked the way to the intrigues of the court's thirst for honor and power. Considering her body to be the church of the crucified Lord, she pacified the unclean movements in it with strict fasting and labor. 82 When brother Theodosius reached full age, 20 years old, Pulcheria became concerned about finding a bride for him. The choice of her gender was Athenaida, daughter of the Athenian philosopher. Athenaida came to August with a request to return her father's estate, taken away by human injustice. During the conversation, it turned out that Athenaida was well educated and smart. According to information from outsiders, it turned out to be the same. Athenada was declared the emperor's bride. This should have amazed many and offended others: the choice fell not on the aristocrat. Pulcheria wanted nothing but good. Since Athenaida was still a pagan, she was baptized and named Eudokia. The marriage took place on June 7, 421. Two years later, Evdokia was declared August. Pulcheria continued to be a co-ruler, but tried to pretend that the emperor was alone in the empire. Commands went to the empire on behalf of Theodosius, matters were decided on his own behalf. Clever Pulcheria gave a memorable lesson to her brother at this time. Theodosius, good-natured and trusting, began to sign the deeds without reading them - and not even always asking about their contents. The nobles, taking advantage of this gullibility, allowed themselves to plunder the treasury and oppress the innocent. Pulcheria, without wasting words, presented a report to the emperor. Theodosius, without asking about the contents, signed and gave the paper to his sister. Then Pulcheria calls Evdokia to her and, talking with her, keeps her with her all day. In the evening they call Evdokia to the king. Pulcheria did not let go. They'll come another time. Pulcheria said with a smile: “Report to the king that Evdokia is my property, according to his will.” Appearing then to her brother, she handed him a letter signed by him. He read it, and Pulcheria said: “You see, sir, how dangerous it is to sign a paper without reading it! You, in your kindness, do not think that they can deceive you. But - on earth there are not angels, but people of all kinds. You are the father of the fatherland. Be careful that your fatherland does not suffer from you.” Theodosius, stricken with shame, gave his word to be careful. 83 According to the conviction of the pious Pulcheria, Theodosius sent a lot of money to Jerusalem to distribute to the poor and a golden cross with expensive stones to erect it on the place of execution. The grateful archbishop sent the king the right hand of Archdeacon Stephen. When the relics were in Chalcedon, the first martyr appears in a dream to Pulcheria and says: “your prayer has been heard, and I am already in Chalcedon.” The princess and the king came out to meet the relics, and Pulcheria built a magnificent church to the first martyr in the capital, where his relics were placed. 84 No matter how strong Patriarch Nestorius was in his connections with the nobles of the empire, no matter how cleverly he acted for his own benefit: in 431, an Ecumenical Council was held in Ephesus; The council lasted a long time due to the intrigues of Nestorius’s defenders; Theodosius was involved in unjust orders; but the teachings of Nestorius were condemned as heresy and Nestorius was exiled to prison. The pious Pulcheria served as the defense of Orthodoxy. The blessed one paid tribute to the great Saint Chrysostom: his relics (in 438) were transferred from captivity and solemnly placed in the capital, in the Church of the Apostles. 85 The following year, an earthquake terrified the capital for a long time. 20 days before Easter, a public prayer was held: the tsar, princess and patriarch walked on foot through the city. By singing the angelic song: Holy God, the disaster is ended, and the song is introduced into public and private worship. 86 In 444, Pulcheria buried her sister Arcadia, who, in her opinion, retained her virginity to the grave. 87 At the court, the place of Anthimus was taken by the eunuch Chrysaphus, whose whole dignity consisted in the fact that the giant in body was a fairly capable commander; otherwise, he was a man without any rules and greedy for money. Pulcheria stopped Chrysaph in his bad deeds. Chrysaph aroused envy of Pulcheria's power in Evdokia. Evdokia and Chrysaph began to act together against Pulcheria. Theodosius, kind but weak and short-sighted, at first did not take part in their plans, but then became involved in it. He demanded that the Patriarch of Constantinople, Flavian, ordain Pulcheria as a deaconesses. The saint declared that he could not initiate anyone against his will, and the happiness of the empire required something completely different. The emperor stubbornly insisted on his demand. St. Flavian replied that he would appear at court at another time. He hastened to let Pulcheria know about the malicious plans of her enemies. She decided to retire into solitude in 447 and retired from the court. In the empire and the Church, by the will of Chrysaph, things began to happen, some more terrible than others. Persecution was raised against Flavian. Eutychy the heretic became a favorite of the court. Diodorus and the Eutychians began to carry out villainous violence. At the Council of Ephesus in 449, Flavian was removed. The heresy of Eutyches appeared under the protection of the emperor. Chrysaph committed crimes in the empire - robbed and killed. Blessed Pulcheria thanked God for her solitary life. She did not want to think about the ingratitude of Evdokia, who owed her everything, or the ingratitude of her weak brother, and even less thought about the base Chrysaphe. She wanted to forget everything and be forgotten by everyone, she did only prayer, reading books that were good for the soul, and feats of repentance. Meanwhile, disasters increased from day to day. Popular unrest arose in different parts of the empire. Pulcheria saw this with deep sorrow. It was hard for her that her good brother was drawn into taking part in terrible things. She decided to try to help the empire and the Church. Appearing at court, she asked the emperor for permission to see him. She was not refused. Then she opened her brother’s eyes to the state of affairs. He saw with horror the abyss on the edge of which they placed him. Chrysaph was exiled to the island and there he was punished by death for his crimes. Evdokia, feeling her sins, with the permission of the emperor, went to worship in Jerusalem. Pulcheria again took part in the administration of the empire. In 449, Pulcheria's sister Marina died as a virgin, and the following year Emperor Theodosius died. Pulcheria was left alone as ruler of the empire. She did not want to think that she was able to rule the empire alone. She decided to find a capable emperor. Her choice fell on the commander Marcian; he was an experienced ruler, loved the pure faith of Christ and sincerely loved all that is good. He was a widower; the daughter of his first marriage, Euphemia, was the wife of Anthymius, later the Western emperor. When Pulcheria elected Marcian as emperor, she announced to him the condition “I choose you from the entire Senate as the most worthy; but give me your word - to respect my virginity, which I promised to God.” Marcian accepted and fulfilled the condition. Marcian and Pulcheria lived like brother and sister, in purity of chastity. In 451, the Ecumenical Council was convened in Chalcedon. At the council, Eutychianism was condemned and rules were established, among other things, about virgins who dedicated themselves to the Lord, about deacons and about mixed marriages. 88 The fathers of the council more than once, in the continuation of their actions, proclaimed Pulcheria the defender of orthodoxy and the head of the Churches. The decisions of the council were happily accepted in the empire. Only in Egypt in Palestine did the stubborn Eutychians create chaos. Pulcheria wrote two letters to Palestine, with a detailed justification of the decisions of the council and with an explanation that the council did not at all think of taking the side of Nestorius. The blessed empress founded many charitable institutions in the capital, hospitals and hospices. 89 She built three famous churches of the Mother of God, painted by the Evangelist Luke, brought from Palestine by the Empress Eudoxia. Now this icon was placed in the Church of Hodegetria. 90 A modern historian says: “with what zeal did Pulcheria perform works of piety, how many magnificent churches she built, how many houses she erected for the poor and strange, as well as monastic monasteries, assigning a constant amount of money for the maintenance of these institutions, and a certain amount of bread for those living in them - it would take a long time to list all this.” 91 Preoccupation with the affairs of the empire did not prevent her from engaging in matters of piety, prayer, reading, visiting the poor and sick: she served the latter with her own hands. The queen's piety was rewarded with heavenly revelations. St. appeared to her three times. the martyr Firs and announced to her about the relics of the 40 martyrs of Sebaste, hidden in the ground; the martyr declared his will so that the relics would be added to his relics in his church. Seven martyrs, dressed in light clothes, also appeared to her. According to precise research, it turned out that the Macedonians actually hid the relics of the martyrs in the indicated place. The relics were found and placed with triumph in the church of St. Firsa. 92 Before her death, Pulcheria bequeathed that all her property should be used for the benefit of the poor. Marcian fulfilled his will to the fullest extent. She died on September 10, 453, in the 55th year of her life. Her memory was established to be celebrated during the reign of Emperor Leo the Great (457–473). 93 † Repose of Rev. Joasaph, in the world of Prince Andrei of Vologda Life of Rev. The prince's marriage did not last long, but it was beautiful. 94 Prince Andrey was the son of Prince Zaozersky Dimitri Vasilyevich, a descendant of St. Prince Fyodor of Yaroslavl. 95 Book. Demetrius lived in a town near the mouth of the river. Kubenki, where is now the village. Mouth; near the village of Cherikova there still stands a chapel - a monument to the courtyards and towers of Prince Zaozersky. 96 Blagov. Prince Dimitri provided benefits to Rev. Dionysius of Glushitsky during the construction of the Glushitsky monastery and was killed by the Tatars. Prince's mother Andrew was reverently revered by St. Alexander of Kushtsky and sent alms to his monastery. The son of pious parents, asked from God by prayers, from the first days of the development of the soul raised in the fear of God, being left an orphan, he felt the vanity of worldly life, so sad for him due to the unexpected death of his father and the fate of the Zaozersky principality. For the kinship of the prince. Shemyaki with book. Dimitri, whose daughter (and sister of Prince Andrei) was behind Shemyaka, c. book Vasily in 1447 gave half of Zaozerye to the Mozhaisk prince. Mikhail Andreevich, and the other to his brother Ivan. 97 Thus, the sons of Demetrius ceased to be the sovereign princes of Zaozersky. 98 Book. Andrei did not even belong to the world by the disposition of his heart; and when the world drove him away from itself, he came to the Savior on Kamenny Island and asked the abbot to clothe him in monastic robes. And the youth of the prince (he was then no more than 20 years old), 99 and his high origin, and the restructuring of the political life of Russia, carried out by the will of the leader. book Moscow (the prince favored Cassian, sent him to Constantinople on business with the metropolitan, but near the king near the fire), cast doubts about Prince Andrei in Cassian’s soul. “Your place is not here, but in the duma of the boyars or on the battlefield,” said the abbot to the prince. Andrey. “You are in vain to be embarrassed,” answered the young prince, my intention is firm - not to accept services from others, but to serve others and carry the cross in the footsteps of my Lord.” The abbot, seeing the pure desires of the young prince, exhorted him so that once he had accepted the yoke of Christ, he would not then hesitate with thoughts of worldly greatness, but would firmly follow his chosen path. Then he clothed him in monasticism and called him Joasaph, the name of the prince who left the kingdom for Christ. Young Joasaph of Kubensky was entrusted to the supervision of an experienced elder. 100 The blessed monastic prince fulfilled his vows of monasticism with all joy. He met with the brethren only in church; all his time was devoted to prayer and reflection on eternity; I observed the strictest fast. Pure in soul and body, he has not yet been honored on earth with a visit from heaven. Once he sang psalms in his cell and heard a voice, an answer to the prayer of his soul; the voice assured: “the vast desert surrounding the lake will be filled with hermits, singers of the glory of God, and if they keep the commandments of God, everything will be ready for their earthly life.” Blessed Joasaph told Abbot Cassian about this revelation in the simplicity of his pure heart. Book Boris Vasilyevich Rzhevsky had the idea to visit his nephew and offer him money in order to build his own monastery. The proposal is pleasant for vanity, but for this reason it is dangerous for spiritual salvation. Blazh. Joasaph answered his relative the prince: “Christ-loving prince! We do not need silver and gold when we sincerely want to live in the desert; Give to the poor what you have appointed for us, and you will receive a generous reward from the Lord.” Book Boris followed the advice of the sincere hermit. The young ascetic seemed to have a presentiment that the path of his exploits would not be long, and with fiery zeal he hastened to do good. In the last year of his life, and he labored in the monastery for only five years, he ate food only once a week, on Sunday, and on every Sunday he received holy communion. Tain. His body was very weak from his exploits, but he thanked the Lord for it; During the course of his illness, whenever he felt some relief, he came to church. On the feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God, he ordered himself to lead himself to the liturgy, and St. Tyne. And returning to the cell, he never got up from his bed. Having said goodbye to the brethren, he ordered the monk to read the canon on the outcome of the soul, he himself took the censer in his hands, burned it near him and, with a prayer on his lips, gave up his spirit to the Lord, on September 10, 1453. His clean body was laid in the church and miraculous healings soon began to flow from it. Young Prince Roman, son of Prince. Oleg Dorogobuzhsky, was mute from birth; Having venerated the relics of blessed Joasaph, he began to speak freely. Maria, a woman from a rich house, was blind for a long time and with the relics of the monk prince she received her sight. In 1472 The Spassky Kamensky Monastery was devastated by fire, and after that only the remnants of the prince’s relics were collected in an ark, but they continued to exude healing. After the second devastation of the monastery by fire, St. The relics were transferred to the Vologda Spiritual Monastery, where they remain to this day. 101 Church service of St. The prince is known from the RKP. XVI. 102 St. Three wives found in the desert mountain Paul, Bishop of Monovasia, left the following news about them: “I was,” he says, “sent to the East on royal business. On the road I came across a deserted monastery and I wanted to visit it. The abbot and the monks came out to meet me and, having said hello, we sat down on the mountain. There were fruitful trees here. And so, the birds, flying in, broke the branches with fruits and quickly carried them away. I asked the abbot why the birds don’t eat the fruits, but carry them away somewhere with the branches? He answered: this is already the eleventh year that they have been doing the same thing every summer. “Here, in the mountains,” I said, out of some inspiration, “either men or wives live, and they bear fruit for them.” As I was saying this, a raven flew in and broke the branch with the fruit. I told the abbot: the raven broke the branch with the fruit. I told the abbot: let’s go after him, and we went. A raven with fruit flew ahead of us and, having reached the cliff, laid down a branch. When we approached him, he took a branch, flew into the hole and, leaving the branch there, returned without everything. Arriving at the gap, we threw a stone down. And so, someone shouts: if you are Christians, don’t kill us. Who are you? – we asked. “If you want,” was the answer, “to see us, then throw us three robes; we are naked women; walking along the mountain, you will see a path, and along it you can go down to us. Hearing this, the three monks took off their clothes and, wrapping them around a stone, let them down. Having found the indicated narrow path, we walked down it with difficulty to the saints. Three women, seeing us, bowed to the ground and, having said a prayer, we sat down. One of them also sat down, and two stood. Then the abbot asked the one who sat down: where are you from, Madam Mother, and how did you come here? “I am from Constantinograd,” she answered, “my husband served under the emperor and died young; I remained a widow for 20 years and cried bitterly, both about widowhood and about the fact that I had no children. A few days later, a nobleman sends servants to me in order to forcibly bring me to him. The servants, not listening to anything, wanted to lead me. I did not want to be unfaithful to the memory of my husband and, entrusting myself to God, I said: I am glad to go to your master, so glorious; but now I'm sick; Be patient until I recover, and then I will gladly go to him. “Okay,” they said, “the master will wait up to 40 days.” After they were gone, I called my servants and, having given them money, set them free, and left with me only the two maids you see. Then, having invited one relative, a Christ-loving man, under oaths I bequeathed to him to sell my villages and house, and distribute the money to the poor. So I remained without the worries of everyday life. At night, taking my maids, and now my sisters, I entered the ship with them, and we came to this place where you see us. This is the eleventh year since we have seen a single person except you. Our clothes are worn out and disintegrated... The abbot asked: where, madam, do you get your food? “The good and humane God,” she answered, “who fed His people in the desert for 40 years, sends food to us, His unworthy servants: every summer birds bring here all sorts of vegetables, even to the point of excess... And nakedness does not burden us, we are not afraid of the cold in winter, nor the heat in summer, glorifying the Holy Trinity... We listened to this in amazement. The abbot said: if you order, my lady, I will send my brother to the monastery to bring food, and we will eat with you. She answered: order the priest to come; Let him pray in advance, and we will partake of the Holy Mysteries - from the time we left the city, we have not been worthy to receive the Holy Mysteries. The abbot sent a monk to the monastery to call the presbyter and bring food. The presbyter, having arrived, performed the service, and the servants of God received Holy Communion. Tyne. Then they ate with us. “I pray to your shrine,” said the saint, “to stay here for three days.” The abbot made a promise. The blessed one stood up, prayed fervently and quietly reposed before the Lord. After performing the funeral chanting, we buried her. The next day, another one died just as calmly, and then a third... Having buried them, we returned, glorifying Christ God, who works miracles...” 103 Her life in Chetye-Minea September 10.

Sozomena ist. 9.1.3. “And she dedicated her virginity to God and, moreover, directed the lives of her sisters, with the intention of removing every man from the royal palace and thereby destroying any reason for jealousy and intrigues... And her sisters led the same way of life, took care of the priests in houses of worship, were generous to needy strangers and the poor, always had a common table, went out together, praised God together at night and during the day and, as befits respected wives, were engaged in weaving and similar works. They considered idleness and luxury unworthy of sacred virginity, and therefore expelled them from their lives, despite the fact that they were princesses, born and raised in the royal palace. For this, God clearly showed mercy to them and kept their home.” Socrates history 7, 22.
