Holy Martyr Basilisk warrior Basilisk was the nephew of St. Theodora Tiron; he suffered along with Eutropius and Cleonikos (they were commemorated on March 3), but died by the sword after them. The torment to which he was subjected was accompanied by the most amazing miracles, as evidenced by their eyewitness, St. much Evsigny (his memorial on August 5th). This martyr Basilisk, as many historians testify, appeared to St. John Chrysostom before his death and said: “Tomorrow we will be together.” Basilisk suffered during the reign of Maximian, in 308, from Agrippa, who subsequently, having received healing from an illness at the burial place of Basilisk, which exuded miracles, himself believed in Christ. In Comana, where St. suffered. Basilisk, a church was built in his name, and his relics were transferred to it. Remembrance of the Second Ecumenical Council It took place in Constantinople, during the reign of Theodosius the Great, in 381, to establish the true teaching about the Holy Spirit, against the heresy of Macedonius, Patriarch of Constantinople, and his like-minded people who rejected the Divinity of the Holy Spirit. At this council, the one hundred and fifty fathers gathered supplemented the Nicene Creed with the doctrine of the Divinity of the Spirit. The suffering of St. Vladimir, Prince of Serbia Prince Vladimir - John 349 throughout his life he tried to live according to the will of God for the good of his subjects. But the corruption of our soul also requires bitter medicine to heal it. And the Lord, knowing which of us needs what, sends others, as a gift of love, a share not only to believe, but also to suffer. Book Vladimir suffered many sorrows in his life and died a sufferer. His grandfather is Prince. Khvalimir entrusted ownership to his eldest son Petrislav Zet (Montenegro), Khvalimir - Trebinje and Khlevn, and his youngest son Miroslav - Podgorje (Zahlumie); but Petrislav remained the sole ruler of all hereditary regions. In this form, Ssrbia was ruled by the son of Petrislav, Prince. Vladimir 350. Among the Slavic Serbs there were Christians from the first times of Christianity, there were even martyrs for St. faith; this is between those who remained under Roman-Greek 351 rule. Their tribes, forced out by the storm of times to the left bank of the Danube, under the emperor. The Iraklii returned to their ancient homeland and for the most part accepted confused Christianity, or, as the imp. Constantine, “accepted the ancient faith,” that is, the one that they had previously accepted, but lost among the Avarov Huns. Under Basil the Macedonian, around 868, the rest adopted Christianity, and all Serbs in general adopted the Slavic service, the gift of St. Cyril and Methodius, submitting to the supervision of the Eastern Patriarch 352. Imp. Vasily, himself a Slav, to whom the Serbs surrendered under protection from the Germans and the Pope, “decreed that in Serbia the leaders elected by the Serbs themselves would be in charge; the best people who must protect the integrity of everything domestic” 353. This is how the prince ruled Serbia. Vladimir, not coveting the things of others and protecting everything dear to him, especially the Orthodox St. faith. Vladimir was, even in the consciousness of the Greek, a truthful and virtuous man 354. The Bulgarian Tsar Samuil, who fought the empire for the suppressed freedom of Bulgaria, decided to force Vladimir to take his side and against the empire. He led a strong army against Vladimir. Vladimir did not want to break the agreement with the empire. Unable to repel force with his squads, he fortified himself on Mount Kosogor. Samuel surrounded the mountain with a large army. Vladimir also encountered another misfortune: there were many snakes on the mountain, people suffered from them, and his army was already small. The pious prince prayed to the Lord in his sorrow and the snakes ceased to be harmful. After a long siege, carried away by the promises of Samuel, the good-natured prince surrendered into the hands of the king and went to prison; Samuel's beloved daughter, kind and compassionate, who knew the kind Vladimir, asked her father to give Vladimir freedom: I cannot, said Kossara, be the wife of someone other than Vladimir. Samuel, loving his daughter, arranged the matter at her request. Having gotten to know Vladimir better, I fell in love with him very much 355. Vladimir, taking the side of Bulgaria, had to oppose the hater of the Slavs, Emperor Vasily. The Greeks entered the borders of Vladimir. But Vasily was wrong. “And the courage of John, and the strength of his weapons, and his trust in God’s help, the impassability of the mountains, the inaccessibility of the cloudy peaks, the narrow gorges - all this together surrounded Vasily, like a spider’s net around a fly; the enemy was scattered by the courageous Vladimir and the defeated one returned back” 356. Vladimir’s alliance with Samuil’s heir, Radomir, greatly disturbed the empire. The insidious Greeks persuaded Radomirov's cousin Vladislav to kill Radomir; in the hope of the seductive Bulgarian throne, Vladislav committed a crime 357. But since he was afraid that Vladimir would not leave the killer alone and would lay claim to Bulgaria, the unfortunate man decided on another murder. His anger against Vladimir was still strong because, as much as he and his wife were devoted to the teachings of the Bogomils, Vladimir did not like these anti-Christians 358. Vladislav invited Vladimir to his place, as if for peaceful advice about the boundaries of his possessions. “My lord!” - the kind Kossara told her husband, “don’t go there, so that the same thing doesn’t happen to you that happened to your brother; let me go, I will find out what the new ruler is like. If he wants, let him kill me, so long as you don’t die.” With her husband's permission, the princess set off. Vladislav received her with honor, but feignedly. He sent an embassy to Vladimir with the same invitation, declaring his readiness to swear feelings of love. The prince answered: “Our Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered for us, was not nailed to a gold or silver cross, but to a wooden one; if your words are sincere, a wooden cross has come with the clergy, before which you will swear, and I, relying on the precious tree, will come to you.” Vladislav called to him two bishops and a monk, among them was David, Archbishop of Bulgaria 359 - and swore an oath before them. The envoys conveyed Vladislav's oath, and Vladimir calmly set off for Bulgaria. By the will of Vladislav, the killers were waiting for Vladimir on the road, but he remained unharmed. The Prince of Serbia arrived in Prespa and, while standing here in prayer, the murderers appeared. "What does it mean?" he told the mediators the bishops. "You deceived me, but I die innocent." The deceived were silent from shame. The sufferer received Holy Communion. Tain was mercilessly killed on May 22, 1015. Body of St. Vladimir was buried in the church, and many sick people received healing at his tomb. Kossara transferred the body of the sufferer to Krajina and here, in her monastery, having accepted monasticism, she ended her life near her martyr husband 360. The murderer and oathbreaker Vladislav, two years after committing the crime, unexpectedly died in pangs of conscience 361. Myrrh-streaming relics of St. The princes still rest near Elbasan 362.

Constantine speaks about the Serbs as a Greek, flattering the vanity of the Greek, and even with a lack of prudence, he exposes fragments of information collected here and there that have not been verified by criticism (Ancient Safarika III, 400-409). He forgot the Veneds, who, even under Herodotus, from time immemorial, lived along the Adriatic and the Danube. In the small number of words and names that survived from the language of these Veneds, every Slav recognizes his native words. Porphyrogenitus also forgot the words of Tacitus about the Veneds: domos fingunt, that is, they do not wander here and there, unless they are driven out of their native places by force. Procopius also says: Sclavini in tuguriis sparsis habitant. Therefore, it was in vain that Constantine’s words were taken as evidence of the first appearance of the Serbs in the south under Heraclius. We are talking only about a few zhupas who came from the north with the rights of an independent civil life and then drew the Slavic tribes remaining in the south into their independent circle. This is how the clever Laonik Chalkondylus reasoned about the matter (Hist, de reb. Turcicis p. 34–36. 530–531. ed. Becneri). Safarik was so carried away by his Celts - Volokhi on the wrong path that, although he recognizes the confusion of limited meaning in the testimony of Porphyrogenitus, while he knows the southern Veneds, while many times he exhibits monuments to the stay of the Slavs in the south in the 5th century, he still begins the history of Serbia with Heraclius. We must expect that southern Slavic scientists will collect new data and subject the past of the southern Slavs to a more accurate revision. Kukulevich (in the Zagreb magazine: Neven 1855 No. 17. 18) found many charters in Dalmatia, the eldest of which dates back to 837, and the list of Bosnian ones known to him begins in 914. Unfortunately, papism is a misfortune for the Slavs - a misfortune for their history (Arkiv za povestn. jugosl., II, 1.13). Konstantin de admin. imp. c. 29. first shows that imp. Heraclius gave the resettled Serbs and Croats teachers of Christianity, subordinating them to the Archbishop of Splet, and he speaks of the Slavs: pietatis opera edocti, fide antiqua accepta. Then he writes: “afterwards, all Dalmatia and neighboring peoples, the Kraots, Serbs, Zahlumlyans, Trebinets, Kanavits, Duklejtsy, Neretvians, otherwise Pathans - unbaptized, retreated from the power of the empire and became free... Many of them lived unbaptized. With them They asked Basil the Macedonian for baptism; he sent them to baptize. The Neretvians lived in inaccessible places and rocks, and they asked and received baptism.” -It’s the same in the life of an imp. Vasily § 53–55. It is also said here that “many of the Slavs (under Michael the tongue-tied) abandoned Christianity so as not to have any guarantee of subordination to the Greeks.” – Even in the Splet diocese until 1058, divine services were performed in the Slavic language by Slavic priests. Thomas, Archdeacon of Plexus, writes: “the council decreed and approved that no one should perform the sacraments in the Slavic language, but only in Latin and Greek, and that no one from that (Slavic) language should be elevated to a degree... When this was decreed by the council and approved by the authorities (the pope), all the priests of the Slavs were struck with great sorrow, all their churches were locked and they stopped serving.” (Farlati Illyricum 111,130).
