5 hours Memory of St. Peter of Corishi The manuscript of the Rila Monastery reads the life of St. Petra, in the Korisha mountain 288. Not having this life in our hands, we limit ourselves to information about St. Peter of Corisha, collected by a recent traveler in the places of the exploits of St. Petra. “We drove through a terrible slum,” writes the traveler, “for more than half an hour, along the edge of Mount Mravinitsa, now rising and now falling, and finally reached a platform formed by rocks above a deep gorge. The Korishsky Monastery was built here. It was abandoned long ago and the very village of Korisha, located somewhat higher in the mountains, passed into the hands of the Arnauts, Muslims. The place where the young hermit, St. Peter of Korishsky, in its solitude, in the terrible abyss and formidable rocks with which it is surrounded, resembles the monastery where his body now rests, the Chernoretsky Monastery... We entered a small cave in which St. Peter built a church. The image of the Savior written on the rock is still quite well preserved; Next to the image we could read the words: “not having to walk in darkness.” Not far from this cave there is another lower, but longer, in which, as they say, a hermit fasted and in which a church was later built... a little further on there are the ruins of a majestic building. Tsar Dushan (1337–1351), in order to adequately honor the memory of the holy youth whom he knew and loved, soon after his death decided to build a large, magnificent church near his cave; but how could it be placed on the mountainside, where nature had formed only a few small ledges and narrow platforms? Dusan boldly threw the arcade into the depths of the gorge and founded a church on the arcade. The arches still stand almost intact, but the Muslims destroyed the church; only a large piece of one of the walls survived, and precisely the one that stands above the abyss itself, not adjacent to the mountain. On it you can also see images written in three rows, one above the other” 289. In another place, the same traveler writes: “in the Chernoretsk church there is a shrine with the relics of a young man, St. Peter of Corish, who (it seems during the time of Dushan) led a fasting life in the mountains near Prizren. When the church he built there was destroyed, people from the village of Briyaki in Kolasin, who belonged to the Kosachi family, transferred his relics to the church of St. Archangel, built by St. Ioannikiy and put them here. The book was also kept in the shrine, which St. Korishsky, as they say, he always carried with him; the book was still intact last year” 290. 15 o'clock. The suffering of St. Lazar, Prince of Serbia Blessed Lazarus 291 was not one of the descendants of the ruling house of St. Nemanja 292. In honor of St. Stefan Nemanja was always associated with the name Stefan. But he was married to Militsa, who was descended from St. Stefan Nemanja, through his second son Volkan 293. That is why he was written Stefan Lazarus. Tsar Dusan allowed him to bear the title of prince, as a relative of the Nemanjic family. At c. Uroshe was the ruler of the Srem Danube region. When the last Uros, the thief of the royal power, died in 1371, Lazar, without declaring himself the ruler of all Serbia, took measures to improve its sad state. First of all, he drew attention to the wild self-will of the regional rulers. The Herzegovinian governor Nikolai Altaman was more like an ataman of bandits than a guardian of public peace and morality: with gangs of corrupt people like himself, he attacked neighbors and carried out robberies and murders. Prince Lazar with strong troops pursued him from one place to another; he locked himself in the Užice fortress; Having besieged him here, Lazar brought matters to the point that Altaman was handed over to Lazar. The prince ordered to deprive him of his sight and take him abroad. Then he defeated Radic Brankovich from Branichev. To complete the victory over the destructive self-will of the dreamy kings, Lazar marched with his army through Dalmatia and Bosnia 294 . Having expelled the Hungarians from Srem and Macva, he annexed the noble part on the right and left sides of the river to Serbia. Tissa to the present Temesvar. – In order for the governors not to separate their personal interests from the interests of all Serbia, he gave his daughters to them. After such exploits of Lazar, all of Serbia declared him the supreme ruler of Serbia 295. The Serbian Church was reconciled by his piety with the Patriarch of Constantinople. He was indignant at the rulers of Serbia for assigning the title of patriarch to the Serbian archbishop and for proclaiming the Serbian ruler Dusan as king. This indignation became especially strong when Tsar Dushan, having conquered the Greek regions, brought under the jurisdiction of the Serbian patriarch the churches that had hitherto been under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople and expelled Greek bishops from his regions. – Despot John Uglesh in 1368 transferred the churches of his region to the jurisdiction of the Constantinople Patriarch 296. Blessed Lazarus decided to arrange things by a peaceful agreement. According to the decision of the council, the intelligent monk Isaiah was sent to Constantinople. At the Council of the Patriarch of Constantinople, it was decided to leave in force the rights of an independent Serbian archbishop, to grant him the title of patriarch, but so that he would use the latter only in Serbia. New Patriarch, Blessed. Ephraim laid the royal crown on the prince. Lazarus 297. Ten years after that, Serbia enjoyed complete peace. Lazarus called residents to cities that were devastated during the unfortunate times. The rich silver mines exploited in the mountains revived industry and trade. The piety of Lazarus was revealed in many experiences: a) By a charter of 1380, “Reverend Stefan, Prince Lazar” gave the hospital of the Hilandar village. Elchanitsa 298 and he also expanded the main Hilandar church with an attached porch. In the same 1380, he donated several villages to the Church of the Presentation of the Mother of God in Gornak, which he built, for the monastic community established here 299. b) To the Russian Panteleimon monastery, “the prince of Serblem and Podunavia” gave the village of Dlabe by charter in 1381 and gave him the Spassky Church in Khvostnya 300 in the same year - having assumed the title of ktitor of the Panteleimon monastery 301. c) In the underwing of Mount Kuchaina, they later wrote to Moscow, there is a royal sacred monastery called Oleshkovice, in which there is a church of St. The Trinity is the structure of the saint, among the kings, the martyr, the prince Lazarus 302. d) His “Zadushbina”, the Ravanitsa monastery, is especially a monument to him. In his letter of 1381, he wrote: “Jealous of the pious kings who came before me, to whose throne God raised me, I decided to make a sacrifice within my power: I built a monastery from the foundation in honor of the Ascension of the Lord and decorated it as best I could, prepared housing for the brethren’s community, established by the apostles. I have prepared enough of everything: income and villages, planted vineyards, bought others... Everything that I give is not anyone’s property - I did not inflict violence on anyone, everything was either bought or acquired by me, as anyone wanted... Let the abbot not be supplied from the outside; 12 reverent brothers, in consultation with the prince, are chosen from the monastery brethren and, placing their hand on the Gospel, they will say: this one is worthy to be a mentor to our community and to shepherd the flock of Christ” 303. e) Book. Lazarus also cared about maintaining Christian education among the people 304. Terrible troubles were approaching Serbia. The Asian savages the Turks had already established themselves in Rumelia, having taken Audrin-Adrianople. Almost all of Bulgaria fell to them. Epirus and Albania recognized dependence on the Sultan. The violence of the Turks knew no bounds. In 1387, Lazar lured 20,000 Turks into the gorges of Epirus and barely 500 of them escaped from Lazarev’s sword 305. The proud Ottomans gnashed their teeth: they vowed to exterminate the Serbs. – Having dealt with other matters, Sultan Murat moved 300,000 troops against Serbia. - He demanded from Lazarus either complete submission or decisive battle. The prince respectfully answered (May 24, 1389): “I received your scripture and understood that you command that I come to you, bring tribute and submission and not be called either prince or king. All this is not in my control. I was appointed by the princes and nobles of the entire Serbian land. I cannot submit to you without breaking my oath to the people. And will it be useful for you? Be patient with us, wait where you left off. I will gather my people. If he tells me to submit, I will bow to you before everyone. If they don’t want it, I must go out with them against you. So I swore to them. Pursuing me alone, will you ruin the land? In this case, even if I didn’t want to, I must stand against you.” The Sultan promised to wait 17 days for an answer. Some of the regional leaders who were under the prince advised him to submit. But Lazar answered them the same way as he answered the Sultan. Letters were sent to all regional commanders to immediately appear with an army if they did not want to be tributaries of the Sultan 306. The strong prince beyond the hills did not have time to come to the deadline due to his remoteness. Up to 60,000 troops gathered at Lazarus. It remained to go with this number against 300,000. – On June 15, 1389, a decisive battle was to take place. Lazarus celebrated this day every year; on this day he laid the foundation of his Zadushbina - Ravanica. This time, on the eve of the holiday, they gathered to Lazarus for advice about the battle. Lazarus was sad. Early the next morning, on the advice of the saint, the prince received Holy Communion, and the entire army also received communion. Milos and his three friends hurried to Murat's camp 307. He asked to be taken to Murat’s tent to reveal the secret. Appearing before the Sultan, he bowed to him and at that very moment drew his sword and pierced Murat. The Sultan's servants were numb with horror. Milos and his three friends rushed onto their horses; but they were surrounded and cut down. If the Serbs had taken advantage of the confusion that followed the death of the Sultan to attack the Turks, complete victory would have been on their side. But Vuk Brankovich, a secret friend of Vulkashinov’s son, who was now acting for the Mohammedans, spread a rumor that Milos had gone as a traitor to the enemy camp and fear had appeared in Lazar’s camp. Prince Lazar had to arouse courage in the Serbian squads. Meanwhile, Murat's son Bayazet appeared as the leader of the Turkish horde. Inspired by Lazar, the Serbs decided to sell their lives dearly. Lazar commanded the center and right wing, and Yuri Kastriot and the Albanians commanded the left wing. Vuk Branković volunteered to stand behind with a reserve army to reinforce the fighting when the need arose. – The rapid onslaught of the Turks was met coldly and a little later the enemies began to get in the way. The rear detachments advanced by Bayazet resumed the brutal slaughter. The battle lasted for five hours. It was time to reinforce the fighting Serbian troops: but Brankovic did not budge. Lazar fought in the front ranks; wounded, on a tired horse, he rushed to change his horse. The Serbs wavered. Appearing again in his ranks, Lazarus tried to hold back those who were shaken. The enemies, taking advantage of the Serbs' hesitation, attacked them with all their might. The fighting Serbs either fell by the sword or were captured; Brankovich remained intact, not moving from his place with his squads. Book Lazarus, covered with 16 wounds, was captured and brought with several of his men to Bayazet. His strength was gigantic: he could cut two people with a horse with one blow. But now he was all wounded. “Cut off his head,” said the Sultan; “No, first let us lose our lives - we don’t want to see him die,” said the prince’s squad. This is how the Christian prince died 308. The body of the suffering prince, barely found, was buried in the nearest church of the Pristina bishopric. After two years and 8 months, it turned out to be incorrupt and was then transferred to the prince’s Zadushbina - to the Rovanitsky monastery; here it was laid in a marble coffin. At the same time the service of St. book Lazarus. They prayed in it: “Whoever brings everything from non-existence into being, who from a virgin, unskilled us for the sake of becoming, Ishmael the enemy, the subjugation of the fighting us, grant victory to our despot, through the prayers of your Lazarus and those who gave birth, the word of God” 309. In 1683, during the war between the Turks and the Germans, old Ravanitsa was completely devastated by the Mohammedans and its monks transferred the relics of St. the prince to one of the monasteries of the Frush Mountain, called the new Ravanitsa 310. A modern description of the feat of St. much George of Sophia writes: “When Prince Lazar was defeated by the Turks on the Kosovo field, God glorified him alone: ​​his body remains unharmed to this day, which I was an eyewitness; his head is cut off and stained with blood, looking at it, you think as if it is now cut off; - emits incense... After all, Murat was killed at the same time and an uncountable number of Turks fell with him: and yet no sign appeared on either the boss or the subordinate - they all decayed” 311. The words embroidered in gold by the widow of the despot Uglesh, nun Euthymia, on the silk cover prepared for Lazarus’s tomb, breathe living feelings of historical truthfulness. “You were brought up from your youth among the blessings of this world, O new martyr, Prince Lazar! The mighty hand of the Lord has made you strong and glorious among the rulers of the earth. You ruled over your native country and consoled the Christians entrusted to you with happiness. With a courageous soul and with holy determination he went out against the serpent adversary of the churches of the saints. It is impossible to tolerate, you decided, that the Ishmaelites should possess Christians; If this cannot be achieved, let me be stained with my blood, and then unite with the army of the Heavenly King. Your two wishes have come true. You killed the serpent and received a crown from God. Do not leave in oblivion your children, who were left orphans after your departure. You have moved to heavenly joys; and your dear children are in grave sorrows. The Ishmaelites have them. We all require your help. We pray to you, pray to the common Master for your beloved children and for all those who serve them with love. Many sorrows weigh upon your children. Those who eat their bread raise fetters against them, forgetting your good deeds, martyr! You moved from the earth; but you know the suffering of your children and, as a martyr, you have boldness before the Lord. Kneel before the one who crowned you... You laid a strange body on me: now I ask for something more special - calm the cruel storm of my soul and body. Euphemia diligently brings you this holy thing” 312. In 1550, Paisiy, abbot of the Hilandar monastery, appearing with three elders to Tsar John, presented him with a gift of “the image of the holy king Milutin and St. Prince Lazar and service to them" 313. 24 hours Memory of St. Nikita, Bishop of Remesian St. Nikita was born in the same city of Remesian (Remeshek), in which his friend Pavlin, Bishop of Nola, was born, and, moreover, in the same year 353. So says the blessed one. Peacock 314. St. Nikita was not Greek, otherwise he would have written works in Greek; he was not a Roman either, otherwise he would have been called Victor, and not Nikita; and he would not have aroused surprise in the Romans with his Latin writings. He was a Slav, but received an extensive Roman education, probably in Rome 315. He was a saint in his native city. The strap was between Sophia and Nishya; this is the same as the current Nirot 316. To whom and how did St. preach the Gospel? Nikita, this is described by his friend Bishop Pavlin in his poem about St. Nikita. And Demons are more cruel than their snow, Having become sheep under you, the shepherd, they graze in the courtyard of the world. With your words Scythian humbles himself and, fighting with himself, tames his heart. And the Getae flee and both Dacians, Like the one who tills the land, So is the coastal resident, covered with hair Under Strabo, demons “occupied most of Mount Emos” - Balkans 318. Under Justinian, Thracus, from the tribe of demons, was a significant person 319; another demon-Frak was the military leader of Velichara in the war with the Persians and then the main commander of the troops in Italy 320. – Otherwise, demons are a Balkan tribe of Slavs 321. The Scythians are the Slavs of Mysia, who at the time of Pavlinus had already managed to spread west of Scythia Minor. They are also Getae 322. Both Dacians are a resident of the left bank of the Danube and the other, since the time of Aurelian, has lived on the right bank of the Danube 323. Dacia is actually the country of the Slavs on the left bank of the Danube, but where colonies of the Romans settled, known to Nestor and others under the name Volokhov 324. In this description of the tribes we see confirmation of the fair idea that after many Slavic tribes were driven out of Thrace and Illyria by force of arms from Philip of Macedon to the northern bank of the Danube 325, where they are known to history under the name Dacians, some of their tribes remained in Thrace and Illyria, especially in the gorges of the southern mountains 326. St. Nikita, by the will of God, had to be an apostle of these Slavic tribes of the south and travel from country to country in order to preach the Gospel teaching with apostolic zeal 327. For the Getae, preaching did not even require a long journey. “The Geats run on their own,” says Peacock. - Blazh. Jerome wrote: “the red and blond army of the Getae carries with them in the tents of the church” 328. During St. Nikita Christianity was already very widespread in Thrace: at the Council of Sredech in 347 the following bishops were present: Sredets, Skup, Liplany, Nisha, Vodina (Aquae) and Chekhov's House (Sigindum) 329. – Under Maximian, Bogolep (Theoprepius) and Zotik and Akindinus were martyred in Potama 330. But not only many Slavic villages, entire tribes of Slavs, both due to savagery and distrust of the Greeks, were reluctant to listen to the preaching of the Greeks, which, moreover, was completely incomprehensible to most of them. St. Nikita, the first bishop of Remeshok, dedicated his life to preaching the faith to his Slavic relatives. And the success of his preaching was brilliant. About the change made by Nikita between the demons, the same contemporary of his blessed. Jerome said: “brutal demons and crowds of sheepskin coats (pellitorum), who once sacrificed people, changed their grinding into a sweet song to Christ” 331. Blazh. Peacock also sings about St. Nikita: Those who did not like to bend their necks to slavery, Untamed by any war, Now obedient to the true Lord, having fun Now richer at the cost of labor The demon rejoices: from the ground with his hand I dug before; now my mind is in heaven What a change! And how happy! Hitherto impassable and bloody mountains Nowadays they hide the robbers who became monks, The righteous man is hiding in a cave, So the activities of St. Nikita, a Slavic preacher, was addressed mainly to the Balkan Slavs. This is natural given their proximity to the place of his pulpit. Peacock admired the fact that the indomitable demons, pacified by the preaching of St. Nikita, became peaceful in relation to the empire; according to history, one of St. Nikita was already sitting on the throne of the eastern empire; this is Leo the Great, originally from Frak and more precisely the demon 335, and when imp. Anastasius began to preach Eutychianism through violence in the empire, brought up in the pure faith of St. Nikita, the inhabitants of Thrace, Mysia and Scythia Minor appeared (in 514) as the most ardent defenders of Orthodoxy and defended it with weapons in their hands 336. St. Nikita in 392, on behalf of the council, went to admonish the neighboring bishop Bonoz, who was entangled in errors about faith 337. – In 397 he traveled to Rome and in Nola saw his friend Bishop Paulinus. Peacock really wanted the saint to stay with him longer, but the affairs of the flock recalled the saint to his flock. Four years later (in 402) St. Nikita appeared in Nola on the feast of St. Felix (Feb. 14), despite the danger of the time. His friend Peacock was delighted with this unexpected visit. He wrote a poem about St. Felix, where he depicts his joy and the saint’s visit to him 338. How long after that did St. asceticise. Nikita, there is no exact news about that. But since blessed Peacock, the same age as St. Nikita, died in 431 at the age of 87 of his life, then, probably, the death of St. Nikita followed no earlier than 420 June 22 339 Gennady of Massilia wrote: “Nicetas, bishop of Remessiana, composed six books in a simple and pure style, adapted to those catechumens in the faith. The first is about those preparing for faith; the second is about the errors of paganism; the third is about faith in the Supreme Being; the fourth is against genealogy; the fifth is about the symbol; The sixth is about the sacrifice of the Passover lamb. In addition, he published a book about the fallen virgin, rousing every fallen person to correction” 340. – Kassiodor highly praises the works of St. Nikita for his pious spirit and for his thorough knowledge 341.

And give birth to a son, Vratislav Knez. Vratislav gave birth to a son, Vratka Knez; Soon give birth to a daughter, Militsa.

According to the news of Theophanes (b. 288) and Kedrin (1, 435), in 657 the emperor (Constance 2) undertook a campaign against the Slavs (κατα σκλαβινιας, κατα σκλαβινων) and took many captives and conquered them. Small Scythia alone cannot be understood here: we are talking about the Slavs, about several Slavic regions and principalities. Even in Macedonia there were several Slavic zhupas. In 758 Copronymus burst “into the Slavs lying in Macedonia” τας Μακεδονιαν σκλαβινιας. Stifferi 11, 79. Safarik either says that the region in Macedonia is occupied by the Slavs who settled beyond the Danube in the first centuries (III, 398), then writes (III, 259) that the settlement of the Slavs in Mysia, Dardania and Macedonia dates back to the end of the 5th century. This hesitation is evidence that the venerable scientist has lost the right path. – About the war of the Slavs in Thrace and Pannonia with the Goths in 334 and with the Greeks in 358, see Klassen materials 2: 34, 35.

Jerome, having said about the Getae that they have marching churches, adds: “because, of course, they have the same faith (with us), they fight little with us.” Peacock: “You turn skilled gold diggers into a swamp and you yourself imitate demons.

Particularly strange are the explanations of Paulinus’s words about St. Nikita: the author, not knowing the history of the Slavs, reinterprets Pavlin’s words contrary to their meaning. And none of the Slavic writers had hitherto paid attention to the apostolic activity of St. Nikita among the Slavs, described by Pavlin.
