V. Хранение старых антиминсов

In former times, the old antimensions, according to the position of the newly consecrated antimension on the throne, were not taken away from the church, but remained in it. They were kept on the throne. Not infrequently, during the reconstruction of the church, and during the construction of a new altar, ancient antimensions were found in the old altar under the saccharine. For example, in the Tver province, in the cathedral church of the provincial monastery of Orshina, three ancient canvas antimensions from 1568, 1610 and 1613 were found on the altar under the srachitsa, all of them from the altar of the Ascension of the Lord. (Journal of Min. Nar. Prosv., part LIII: department 7, p. 35, and Memorable Book of the Tver Province for 1865, pp. 134 – 146); in Novgorod were found in 1854 in the church of St. 12 Apostles on the Sofia side, under the throne of St. Apostle of the 12, ancient antimensions of 1343, 1455 and 1545. (Archaeological description of the ancient church in Novgorod by Archim. Macarius, part I, pp. 162, 350, 1860. M. Izvestia of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, vol. VI, p. 86). Under the srachitsa they relied and kept there not only those antimensions that belonged to the throne or church in which they were found, but also those of other thrones and churches. Thus, in the chronological register of antimensions of ancient consecration, stored in the sacristy of the Nizhny Novgorod Cathedral, eight antimensions are indicated, which, on the occasion of the alteration of the altar and the consecration of the church, were accidentally found in a pillar-shaped box placed under St. the altar in St. George's Church, which was consecrated by the bishop in 1704; 2, four antimensions, presented from the village of Kurekha, found under the throne when it was dismantled due to its disrepair. The inscriptions of these antimensions show that they belonged to different churches 81. In the blessed letters, the place on the throne was indicated for the old antimensions, sometimes - in the underside under the new antimension 82, sometimes - by sealing them on the right side of the throne, in the column 83, sometimes - in the middle sacrum in the column 84. In order to place the old antimension in the column of the eastern part of the throne, sometimes it was ordered to carve out a box for the antimension 85 in the column. Sometimes it was indicated to close the chest of the throne with a board, in which the antimension was placed 86. Sometimes it was written in the letters that this should be done as indicated in the Requirement 87. In the Consumer Order, published under Patriarch Joseph in 1651, it is ordered, in the rite of consecration of the church, to do this after washing with warm water, wiping with a wiper and lip and sprinkling with holy water the capital of the altar being consecrated. Before placing the boards on them, an antimins had to be placed in the column of the throne. “If there were holy relics in the old first churches, if there were antimensions, before placing the altar tables on columns, he places them in a column, which is placed in the middle of the holy meal, and in it the place is filled with holy relics. If there are columns supporting the holy meal, they will create a place of holy relics on the Dth corner, which is located to the east of the capital. We create this same thing, even if there were old churches first, holy relics, and if there is a new church, then the holy relics are in the antimension" (sheet 24). This order about the position of the old antimension under the altar is not printed in the revised Trebnik. Since the 18th century, antimensions have been sent for storage to the sacristies of cathedrals or churches of the bishop's house. Due to the lack of instructions in the Trebnik where the old antimensions should be placed, a question about this was proposed to the Holy Synod by one priest. In 1735, July 8th, by order of the Holy Synod, and at the request of the admiral and the State Admiralty Board of the President, Cavalier Count Nikolai Fedorovich Golovin, it was ordered to consecrate the church of St. The Apostle of Peter and Paul, located in the coastal village of Vasilievsky, burned in 1734 and repaired again. For this purpose, a decree on consecration and an antimension were sent there from the St. Petersburg Spiritual Board to the priest of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, which is on the Marine Regimental Yard, to Peter Pavlov. This priest Peter, having reported that he had fulfilled what was ordered, reported that the old burnt antimension was being kept in observance. At the same time, the Holy Synod asked where that old antimension would continue to be used, if similar dilapidated antimensions from the consecrated ones were to be used. The Holy Synod ordered: “the burnt one, and henceforth, where the consecrated dilapidated antimensions appear, should be given to the Archpriest in the Peter and Paul Cathedral, where they should be stored in a special place, at the proper discretion.” And in all other dioceses it was prescribed, by decree of October 24, 1735, that dilapidated antimensions be taken from churches to bishops’ and cathedral sacristies for storage. (Archive file of the Holy Synod of 1735 No. 114). When the Right Reverend Ioannikiy, Bishop of Orenburg in 1841 asked the Holy Synod to show him where he could get the ancient antimensions for the Berezinsky Edinoverie Church of the Chrysostom plant, for the altars in the name of the Resurrection of the Lord and in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity; then, as a result of the order of the Holy Synod, His Eminence Innocent of Vologda presented to the Holy Synod the required antimension, consecrated in 1596, and a list of other antimensions consecrated before the time of Patriarch Nikon, and at the same time added that, out of respect for sacred antiquity, by order of his Eminence, in the past year a complete, as far as possible, chronological collection was compiled antimensions from the 16th to the 19th centuries, for storage at the Bishop's Cross Church. The difficulty in collecting them, the situation in which most of the ancient antimensions were found, and the fate that awaited them (they were condemned to be burned) make one wish that some kind of command would be made to protect such remnants of sacred antiquity, which are not unimportant for the very history of the Orthodox Church. The Holy Synod ordered the Eminence Bishops to make known the ancient antimensions, and to order them to be kept in cathedrals and to compile accurate chronological registers of the old antimensions stored in the sacristies of the cathedrals, indicating in them the time of consecration and the names of the churches for which they were issued, and in particular whether they contain St. relics, and then kept these antimensions in the mentioned cathedrals, in a proper shrine, purity and inviolability, under their seal or consistory, and submit the registers themselves to the Holy Synod. (Deloarch of the Holy Synod of 1841, decree No. 693 of June 3, 1842). In pursuance of the command of the Holy Synod, such registers were sent to the Holy. Synod, and the antimensions themselves are kept in the sacristies. This is how these antimins are described: 7080 (1572) In the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord, under Tsar John Vasilyevich, under Metropolitan Anthony. Antimins of St. has no relics; 4 inches long and wide. 7104 (1596) in the name of the Venerable Father Izosima and Savvaty, Solovetsky Wonderworkers, under Tsar Theodore Ioannovich, under St. Patriarch Job. Antimins of St. has no relics; 4 inches long and wide. 7106 (1598) in the name of Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, under Tsar Boris Feodorovich, under St. Patriarch Job. Antimins of St. has no relics; 4 inches long and wide. 7109 (1601) The name of the church cannot be made out, because the edge is burnt and covered with wax; under Tsar Boris Feodorovich, Queen Mary, Tsarevich Theodora, Princess Xenia, under St. Patriarch Job. Antimins of St. has relics; 4 inches long, 4 ½ inches wide. 7112 (1604) The name of the church cannot be made out due to the fading of the words; under Tsar Theodore Borisovich, under St. Patriarch Job. Antimins of St. has relics; 4 inches long and wide. The year of consecration and the name of the church cannot be deciphered by the faded words. Antimins of St. has no relics, length and width 4 inches. 7140 (1632) in the name of St. Prophet Elijah under Tsar Michael Feodorovich, under St. Patriarch Filaret. Antimins of St. The relics are 5 inches long and wide. 7161 (1653) in the name of St. Basil the Great, Archbishop of Caesarea, under Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich, under St. Patriarch Nikon. Antimins of St. has no relics, 4 inches long and wide. It is impossible to make out the year of consecration and the name of the church from the faded words, under Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich, under St. Patriarch Filaret. Antimins of St. The relics are 4 inches long and 4 ½ inches wide. 7130 (1622) in the name of St. Euthymius, Suzdal miracle worker, under Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich, under St. Patriarch Filaret. Antimins of St. the relics are 4 inches long and wide. 7130 (1622) in the name of the Divine Transfiguration of the Lord, under Tsar Michael Feodorovich, under St. Patriarch Filaret. Antimins of St. the relics are 4 inches long and wide. 7161 (1653) in the name of St. Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John, under Tsar Alexy Mikhailovich, under St. Patriarch Nikon. Antimins of St. the relics are 4 inches long and wide. (Case of Arch. St. Syn. 1841, No. 693). For example, in the blessed charter of 1590, it is prescribed to priests and deacons that “having laid down the antimensions (i.e., new ones, consecrated by the Bishop), the old antimensions of those altars should be placed in the underside, and the new antimensions on top of the old antimensions.” (Act. Arch. Expedition. vol. 1, No. 346, p. 419). In the blessed letter of Patriarch Joseph for the renovation of the church of the Obnorsky Resurrection Monastery, where the parish Church of the Resurrection now exists, in which the relics of St. Sylvester rest, 7156 (1648) September 25, it is said: “the Church of the Resurrection of Christ should be covered with a new one, and a new altar should be put in the church, and the old roof of that church and the altar should be taken out into the field, in a clean place burn it with fire, and order the old antimension to be sealed in the new throne in the gum column from the eastern country.” (Church of the village of Voskresensky on Obnor, where there used to be a monastery. Yaroslavl 1862, p. 65). In the blessed letter of the Kaluga Krutitsky Metropolitan Paul, given in 1675 for the consecration of the Church of the Trinity Monastery in the village of Zaprudny, he said: “and order the antimension of the old throne to be sealed into the new throne in the gum column” (Read in the Imp. General History and Ancient Ross. 1865, book 4, p. 93). In the blessed letter of Metropolitan Jonah of Rostov and Yaroslavl, given in December 16, 7195 (1686) for the renovation of the church of the Obnorsky Resurrection Monastery, it is said: “and dismantle the old church, and put it in one place and fence it off, so that no uncleanness touches it, and from the throne, put the holy antimension of the new throne in the eastern country in the right column, and put the indium and srachitsa, twisted with an old girdle, under the altar, and keep the upper deck and columns for the church in the ground, and do everything according to what is printed in the great Trebnik.” (Church of the village of Resurrection, on Obnor. Yaroslavl 1862, p. 73). Thus, in the church charter of Metropolitan Hilarion of Suzhdal and Yuryev, given on the 25th of February for the construction of the Church of the Epiphany, it is said: “and order the priest to remove the antimension from the throne of the old church and put it in the new church under the throne, in the middle sacrum, on the gum area, hewn out with a box.” (Epiphany settlement of Mstera, Vladimir province. Vyazemsky district, composition. I. Golyshev. Vladimir. 1865, p. 112). In the blessed charter of Patriarch Pitirim, given in December 31, 7181 (1673), for the renovation of the church of the Obnorsky Resurrection Monastery (Yaroslavl province), it is said: “and they ordered the antimension of the old altar to be built in that new church in the new altar, in the gum column from the eastern country, hewn out with a box and covered with a board.” (Church of the village of Resurrection, on Onor, where the Resurrection Monastery used to be. Yaroslavl 1862, p. 70). Similar in the charter of 1662 by Patriarch Pitirim (Zap. Imp. Arch. General. vol. X, p. 440). So, in the patriarchal charter of 1643 (7152) of Patriarch Joseph, Belozersky Uzd, Resurrection Monastery, it is written to Archimandrite Gideon: “and order the antimension of that old church to be placed in a new throne from the eastern countries in the gum capital, hewn out with a box and close the box with a board.” (Ist. Ross. Hierarch. part 2, pp. 661 – 662). The blessed charter of 1682 says: “and the antimension of the old throne, which was in the limit of Sergius the Wonderworker, should be sealed in the new throne in the gum column from the eastern countries, hew out a box and cover it with a board.” (Act relating to the legal life of ancient Russia, vol. 1, no. 27, p. 68). In the blessed letter of 1670, Metropolitan Pitirim said to Abbot Joseph and his brethren: “And you would remove the old antimension from the throne in the Savina monastery in the old church of the Cathedral of John the Baptist, and keep it in safekeeping until those places, when, with God’s help, a new church is erected and will be consecrated; and then put that old antimension right there on the throne in a column, as indicated in the Consumer Book.” (A short chronicle about the monastery of the Venerable Father Savva of Vishersky, 1806 St. Petersburg, pp. 27, 28, No. 9). A similar thing is said in the letter of Jonah, Metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl, given to the Resurrection Obnorsky Monastery (see above, p. 103). You might be interested in:
