Aquilina, a native of the city of Byblos (now Esbil in Phenicia), was orphaned by her father a year after birth and was raised by her mother in Christian piety. When Aquilina was ten years old, a certain Volusian, a great hater of Christians, became the ruler (proconsul) of Palestine. This was in the seventh year of Diocletian's reign. Many Christians suffered at the hands of the ruler. At that time, Aniline exhorted her peers to know the true God and reject worthless idols. “What kind of God do you worship?” - they asked her - “One God, who created heaven and earth and everything that exists,” she answered. “We heard,” said the friends, “that your God was crucified by the Jews on the cross?” “Death has no power over Him,” said Aniline; “Not only did He Himself rise, but He also revives all who believe in Him, redeems them from death, and saves them. He is the Savior of the entire human race, He regenerates us into a new life and has the power to come again in glory when the general resurrection comes.” “But why don’t the Jews, from whose race He was, recognize Him?” asked the young pagans. “Because they did not love goodness and truth.” In this and similar way the saint often talked with her peers. And then one of the ruler’s slaves informs him that there is a certain twelve-year-old girl in the city who openly reviles the gods and preaches the crucified Lord. The proconsul ordered her to be presented to him, and this was already in the second year of his reign, and said to her: “Are you opposing the royal commands, tempting others not to honor our gods, but to worship a crucified man? Make sacrifices to the immortal gods; otherwise I will give you over to torture!” “I’m not afraid of torment,” answered the girl; “because I believe in the Savior, who crowns faith.” “Spare your youth,” he said: “you will lose your life, and the Christian God will not help you.” The saint answered: “I do not ask you for mercy; she will separate me from my God.” Then Volusian ordered her to be beaten in the face and then, naked, to be scourged without mercy. He finally offered her a few days of freedom so that she would come to her senses, but Aniline did not want to doubt her confession for even one hour. After this, they pierced the martyr’s head through the ears with a flaming iron and finally beheaded her (in 293). Her relics were subsequently transferred to Constantinople. St. Triphyllius, Bishop of Leukusia Triphyllius, born Kypryatsin, was educated at the Virit (Beirut) school of law and then entered the clergy of the Trimifunt church in the bishopric of St. Spiridon, who taught him spiritual wisdom. King Constantius once summoned bishops to Antioch; Spiridon was among those invited. He took Trifillius with him. The saint was dressed in thin clothes, had a date staff in his hand and a thin veil on his head; On his chest hung a clay vessel with oil from St. Cross in Jerusalem. The court servant, seeing the poor old man and denying him entry, hit him on the cheek, but the meek Spyridon turned him on the other as well. Having learned that it was a bishop, the minister asked for forgiveness and received it. At a gala dinner in the royal palace, Triphyllius marveled at the splendor and beauty of the chambers, the nobles, the king, the splendor and the entire exquisite arrangement. “Why are you surprised, brother!” - said Spiridon. “Does the pomp and glory of a king make a king more righteous than others? Doesn’t a king die and be consigned to the earth in the same way as a beggar? Is it not equal to appear before the Judge? It is better to seek immaterial and eternal blessings, to love glory that does not perish.” Soon after this, Triphyllius was installed as bishop of the city of Leukosia (now Nicosia), but did not stop visiting his spiritual father and teacher, St. Spiridon, and learn some sense from him. One day, the bishops of the island, who had gathered on church affairs, asked Trifillius to preach an oral sermon to the people in the church. In his sermon, he happened to bring the words of the Savior to the paralytic: arise and take up your bed (Mark 2:9), but instead of the word “bed” he said “bed” - ϰ ράββατον. Spyridon, unable to tolerate the change in Christ’s expression, stood up from his place and said to the preacher: “Are you better than the One who spoke the bed (ϰ λίνη), that you are ashamed of His words?” left the church. So he shamed the orator's arrogance and taught Triphyllius meekness and humility. Having lived pleasingly to God, St. Triphyllius, in unfeigned love for everyone and purity of faith, in spreading the light of the knowledge of God and abstaining from everything bad, moved to the heavenly abodes in old age around 370. During the attack on Cyprus by the Mohammedans around 640, part of his relics were burned, but the surviving head is still preserved by the Nicosia Greek Church. † Repose of Rev. Andronik of Moscow Blazh. Andronik, a native of Rostov, grew up and strengthened his spiritual life under the supervision of the great Abba, St. Sergius of Radonezh. He was the saint's favorite disciple: this alone shows that he was among the sincere zealots of spiritual life. The choice of Saint Alexy, who fell on Andronikos, when electing the abbot of the new monastery, speaks of the same thing. The saint, being in the monastery, said to Sergius: “beloved, I want to ask one favor from your spiritual love for me.” “Nothing is forbidden in my monastery for your shrine,” answered Sergius. “I want,” said Alexy, for you to give me one of your students, “I intend, with God’s help, to build a monastery in fulfillment of my vow. When I was sailing from Constantinople, a great storm arose at sea, so that the ship was crushed by the waves, and we all despaired of life. Then I made a vow to build a church in honor of the festival on which we happily reach the pier. The sea calmed down and we entered the marina on August 16th. Therefore, I decided to build a monastery in honor of the miraculous icon of the Savior; The time has come to fulfill the promise.” “Good deed,” said the reverend. Sergius: “May the Lord grant you to fulfill it! And everything that you require from your son is ready before you.” Then the saint asked him to be the abbot of the monastery for his disciple Andronik, and the reverend. Sergius gave it away with love. Taking Andronicus with him, the saint entrusted him with the construction of a monastery and a church. The place was chosen on the Yauza River, the same one where Prince. Vsevolod Yuryevich met Batu’s horde with a bloody battle. Rev. Sergius came to pray at the chosen place for the new monastery. The church and monastery of the All-Merciful Savior were built, etc. Andronik was appointed abbot of the monastery. This was in 1361 134. Lecturer Andronik, during his strict fasting, was distinguished by meekness and deep humility, and these qualities attracted many to him; many came to his monastery to learn the law of God and accepted monasticism here 135. The well, 100 fathoms from the monastery, dug by the labors of Andronicus, is still intact. – With the blessing of Saint Alexy, a dormitory was set up in the monastery 136. Lecturer Sergius visited his student from time to time and with his visit inspired him with a strong love for exploits. Once, the legend says, the great ascetic came to venerate the image of the Savior, before setting off on a long journey, and when parting, he talked for a long time with Andronicus. “They later built a chapel at the place where they said goodbye. This is on the way to Vladimir. And this direction of the path shows that this spiritual conversation took place when Sergius (1365) went to Nizhny Novgorod to pacify Prince Boris. This is exactly how Saint Alexy led the way later. book Demetrius stopped at the monastery of Andronikos to pray before the icon of the Savior, when the saint (1381) saw off the leader. the prince to the Oka, on his way to the khan 137. Spiritual life blossomed in the Andronikovo monastery under the supervision of a vigilant abbot; Sergius' disciple tended his flock pleasingly to God 138. “Saint Andronicus,” writes Rev. Joseph of Volokolamsk, “shone with great virtues. His disciples Sava and Alexander, wonderful, famous icon painters, Daniel and his disciple Andrei and many others lived with him. The icon painters were distinguished by such asceticism, such zeal for fasting and monastic life, that they were awarded Divine grace; they were so elevated in holy love that they never occupied themselves with earthly things; their mind and thoughts were turned to the immaterial, Divine light, and their sensual eye looked with love at the faces of the Lord Christ, the Most Pure Mother of God and all the saints painted in material colors. – On the very feast of the bright Resurrection of Christ, sitting on the benches and having honest icons in front of them, they looked at them steadily and were filled with holy joy and light. They did this at other times, when they were not engaged in painting icons. – Therefore, the Lord Christ glorified them at the last hour of death. First, Andrei passed away, then his companion, Daniel, fell ill, and, being at his last breath, he saw his companion, Andrei, in great glory, joyfully inviting him into eternal and endless bliss.”139 - Blazh. In 1405, Andrei Rublev painted the walls of the court Annunciation Church and painted its icons; in 1408 he and Daniel decorated the cathedral church in Vladimir 140. “Then they decorated the Spassky Church in the Andronikov Monastery with murals. Their last works were dedicated, at the request of the Rev. Nikon, in memory of Rev. Sergius. “The monk,” says the chronicle, hastily gathers the painters, excellent men, perfect in virtue, Daniel, his fasting companion Andrew and their assistants (he hastily completes the work because he foresaw in his spirit the quick death of those painters, as was the case at the end of the work); with the help of God, they zealously set to work and greatly decorated it with various wonderful images, amazing everyone to this day with their final work. The monks, having left a memory of themselves, after a little time, in a good old age, received a good end 141. - According to this lime, Rev. Andrew and Daniel reposed no later than 1424 142. Their mentor is Rev. Andronicus died before them. In 1403, the monk Anfim copied the collection of Svyatoslavs “in the Andronikov monastery and under the abbot Savvina 143. According to these words, with respect for St. Andronik to St. Sergius, it must be accepted as undeniable that Andronik, having reached a very old age, transferred control of the monastery to his disciple Savva, and he himself, following the example of his mentor, prepared for the transition to another life in deep silence, and his death followed on June 13 no later than 1404 144. The relics of St. Andronikos and his student Rev. Savva rests in the Church of the Savior, under cover 145. Rev. mother Anna and her son John This ascetic (in the second half of the 5th century) was found with her son on a deserted island by a hieromonk. She told him about herself that, having been raised as an orphan in the house of a kind noble man, she, at his request, became the wife of his son. When, soon after, the old nobleman died, Anna's husband's relatives did not give him peace, reproaching him for his unequal marriage; They constantly told him: why doesn’t he marry a noble and rich woman? (This was the pagan right of the husband over his wife). Why, they said, does he disgrace his family by marrying a woman of humble birth? – To put an end to this domestic embarrassment, in order to free her husband, the young woman secretly left his house and hid on the island, where she spent the life of a hermit... Meanwhile, after 8 months, her son was born here; and so, she lived with him for thirty years on a deserted island in renunciation from the world, in severe deeds, led by the One God. Finally, one hieromonk arrived on the island, who met Anna with her son and, after listening to her sorrowful story, gave her the joy that he could perform baptism over her son... 146.

The Klintsovsky original says that St. Andrew, being in obedience to St. Nikon, in his presence painted the face of the Holy Trinity, in praise of St. Father Sergius. – This is the same image that now stands in the iconostasis on the right side of the royal doors (Ancient State Ross. 1, 23–25. Rovinsky history of icon painting, p. 29. St. Petersburg, 1857). According to the RCP. saints, "pr. Fathers Andrei Rublev and Daniil Cherny, his companion of fasts, glorious icon painters, reposed in L. 6938 (1430) and were founded in the Andronikov Monastery.” The year of death is shown incorrectly, inconsistent with the life of Nikon. – The legend about the icon painters says that they died under abbot.

The charter of 1608 (Rumyantsev No. 449) under June 13 says: “to this day Andronikov is commemorated.” - According to the RCP. Saints, Ave. Andronik reposed “in l. 6982 (1474) months. June at 13 days.” Following the calendar, the same year of death was shown in East. Hier. VI, 192. 197, in the Dictionary of Saints and in Pisarev in the Description. monastery But this testimony is obviously incorrect. In 1361, Andronik could not have been less than 30 years old: he was already a hieromonk. Therefore, in 1474 he would have been no less than 143 years old, and such old age is outside the circle of probability. In the initial entry, of course, it said: “repose in L. 6812 (1404) m. June at 13 days.” Such a testimony, probable due to the circumstances of Andronicus’ life, is justified by monuments. In 1410, witnesses to the will of Prince. Vladimir Andreevich was Nikon, abbot of Troitsky, and Savva, abbot of Spassky (Polevoy history V, 274). In the oath record of the book.
