In conclusion, I want to tell you the main thing: if your child, a boy or girl, says to you, “Mama, papa, I want to devote myself to God and leave for a monastery,” do not hinder him and don’t go against this desire that was placed in him by God. You commit the greatest sin if you prevent him—an even greater sin than if you destroyed a church. And I’ll tell you why. If you destroy a church, we will gather money and build it anew. But if you thwart your child in his sacred calling, this evil cannot be mended. It is a great honor and great blessing for a family to give its child to God to become a monk or nun. Metropolitan Jeremiah of Gortynos and Megalopolis Translated by Jesse Dominick St. Elizabeth Convent 6 марта 2017 г.  This prayer comes from the Order of Preparation for Communion.  Strictly theologically speaking, virginity is indeed man’s natural condition, as the condition of Adam and Eve before the Fall is considered man’s natural condition, with his fallen nature being below or against nature, and with the possibility of rising above nature in Christ. The Fathers unanimously teach that virginity reigned in Eden before sin. Note that Met. Jeremiah is speaking of what is “natural” for man in his sub-natural state.   Ladder of Divine Ascent  15:7  This is referencing the priest’s exclamation in the Anaphora, “Let us lift up our hearts,” to which the people reply, “We lift them unto the Lord.”  Met. Jeremiah is a Greek bishop. In the Russian tradition nuns sometimes also wear a klobuk.  Подпишитесь на рассылку Православие.Ru Рассылка выходит два раза в неделю: Предыдущий Следующий Смотри также Royal Lady, Pious Nun—Princess Ileana–Mother Alexandra Royal Lady, Pious Nun—Princess Ileana–Mother Alexandra Today is the repose day of Romania’s beloved Princess, and America’s beloved abbess, Mother Alexandra (Hapsburg).

     The family-physician of the last Russian emperor and his family Dr. Eugene Botkin is to be canonized by the Moscow Patriarchate. The announcement was made today at a press conference in Moscow by the Department for External Church Relations " Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk. " The Council of Bishops has decided to celebrate among the saints Dr. Eugene Botkin, " the Metropolitan said. Eugene Botkin, son of the famous doctor Sergei Botkin, who had been a court physician under Emperors Alexander II and Alexander III, served as court physician for Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and, while in exile with the family, sometimes treated the haemophilia-related complications of the Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich. Botkin accompanied the emperor and his family into exile to Tobolsk and later Ekaterinburg. The faithful doctor, aged 53 years, was shot along with the Russian royal family and three other retainers in the early morning hours of July 17th, 1918 in Ekaterinburg. In 1981, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) canonized the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, his wife, five children, and four faithful retainers - including Botkin - as new martyrs. In 2000, the Moscow Patriarchate canonized the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, including his wife and five children as passion bearers. Paul Gilbert Royal Russia 3 февраля 2016 г.

Tweet Нравится Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II monument consecrated in Vladivostok Moscow, December 21, 2016 Photo: vladivostok-eparhia.ru      On December 18, 2016, the eve of the feast of his heavenly patron St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, a monument to the holy Royal Martyr Tsar Nicholas II was unveiled and blessed by the Holy Protection Cathedral in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, reports the site of the Russian Orthodox Church. The bust of the Tsar-Martyr was blessed by Met. Benjamin of Vladivostok in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the visit of then-Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich to the city, which is being widely celebrated throughout the region as part of the annual “Royal Days” festival of Orthodox culture in Ekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region. Photo: vladivostok-eparhia.ru      A delegation of the Military Orthodox Mission arrived from Moscow for the opening with a wonder-working and myrrh-streaming icon of Tsar Nicholas, as well as a handful of soil from Ganina Yama, where the bodies of the Royal Martyrs and their faithful servants were impiously disposed of. The soil was placed in a special box near the bust after the procession to the monument and the prayers for its installation. Addressing those gathered, Metropolitan Benjamin stated: “The opening of the monument to St. Nicholas is a great event for both Vladivostok and for all of Russia. Thanks to the visit of the then-tsarevich to our city, the Russian Empire looked to the East… It is important that in Russia people always loved the tsar, because he was chosen by God and dedicated his life to the service of the Fatherland.” The bronze bust of the last emperor of Russia was created and installed at the initiative of the organizing committee for perpetuating of the memory of Tsarevich Nicholas’ visit to Vladivostok with the assistance of the Orthodox Military Mission. 21 декабря 2016 г.

В результате 6-го крестового похода зап. христиане впервые за долгое время получили контроль над основными святынями Иерусалима и значительной частью владений, к-рые были утрачены в 1187 г., однако безопасность этих территорий оставалась под угрозой. Иерусалимское королевство было значительно ослаблено длительным противостоянием местной знати с имп. Фридрихом II. А. В. Стрелецкий 7-й крестовый поход (1248-1254) В авг. 1244 г. Иерусалим был взят хорезмийцами, к-рые заключили договор с егип. султаном ас-Салих Айюбом (1240-1249). 17 окт. войска Иерусалимского королевства были разбиты объединенной египетско-хорезмийской армией в битве при Форбии (Ла-Форби, ныне дер. Харбия близ Газы). Тем не менее шансы на успешный исход новой экспедиции, целью к-рой являлось освобождение Св. земли, были достаточно велики. Владения Айюбидов не составляли в тот период единого гос-ва и были ослаблены династическими конфликтами. Штурм Дамиетты кор. Людовиком IX Святым. Миниатюра из «Больших хроник Франции». 1332–1350 гг.

Fol. 409v) Очевидной стала необходимость нового крестового похода; его организатором стал франц. кор. Людовик IX Святой (1226-1270). Папа Римский Иннокентий IV (1243-1254) во время работы Лионского I Собора (1245) буллой «Afflicti corde» объявил о начале экспедиции. Одним из источников финансирования нового крестового похода должен был стать налог в размере 1/12 доходов клира. Проповедь похода была поручена кард. Эду де Шатору, назначенному папским легатом. Значительная часть европ. рыцарства не откликнулась на призыв папы. Германия и Италия были вовлечены в конфликт между имп. Фридрихом II и Иннокентием IV (попытка Людовика IX примирить императора и папу Римского оказалась неудачной), Венгрия еще не оправилась от монг. вторжения 1241 г. Участию в походе англ. кор. Генриха III (1216-1272) помешало восстание в Гаскони (1252) против наместника гр. Симона де Монфора. Тем не менее о готовности присоединиться к 7-му крестовому походу объявили братья короля Альфонс, гр. Пуатье, Роберт I, гр. Артуа, и Карл Анжуйский (король Сицилии в 1266-1282), а также гр. Уильям II Солсбери. Во главе экспедиции встал франц. кор. Людовик IX. В походе также приняли участие его жена кор. Маргарита Прованская и ее сестра Беатриса, к-рая состояла в браке с гр. Карлом Анжуйским. На организацию экспедиции были выделены значительные средства (не менее 950 тыс. ливров). Король убедил франц. духовенство пожертвовать на крестовый поход 1/10 доходов, увеличил размер штрафов, налагаемых судом, конфисковал имущество франц. евреев и обложил налогами города. В 1246 г. король заключил договор о поставках кораблей из Генуи и Марселя. По всей видимости, общая численность крестоносной армии составляла ок. 15 тыс. чел. ( Strayer J. R.

Tweet Нравится Tbilisi honors memory of 100,000 Georgian martyrs Tbilisi, November 15, 2016      Thousands of believers gathered on Metekhi Bridge in the center of the Georgian capital on the day of commemoration of the 100,000 Georgian martyrs slain by the Khwarezmians in Tbilisi in 1227. A Moleben was served on the bridge, reports Sputnik-Georgia .      “Today is a special day. Today is the day of the memory of the 100,000 Georgian martyrs, whose life and actions were exceptional. As we know, they accepted martyrdom under Jalal-ad-Din. May the Lord strengthen and soothe Georgia by their prayers,” stated His Holiness and Beatitude Patriarch Ilia II.           In 1227 Georgia was attacked by Khwarezm Sultan Jalal-ad-Din. On the first day of the battle in Tbilisi the Georgian army valiantly warded off the enemy’s attack, but the Persians living in Tbilisi opened the city gates at night, allowing enemy troops to enter. According to the testimony of the chroniclers, they were the “darkest days in Georgian history”—Christians were brutally massacred, babies were killed, women were raped, and mothers were killed with their children. By the order of Jalal-ad-Din, icons of the Savior and Mother of God were carried out of the Sion Cathedral and laid on the middle of the bridge over the Mtkvari River and citizens were driven to the bridge and ordered to walk on them, trampling the sacred objects. Those who turned from Christianity and defiled the holy icons were promised to be kept alive, while the rest were beheaded. 100,000 Georgians, for the sake of the icons, sacrificed their lives.

The messages states: Kindly accept my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the Nativity of Christ and the New Year. As the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian says, the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ (1 Jn 2:20). The event we are celebrating these days has become a turning point for many generations of people as it has heralded the beginning of a new era. Today all the true followers of Christ are faced with the task to preserve and multiply in their personal life and in the society around them the intransient ideals of evangelical love and sacrifice, the virtues of mercy and compassion for our neighbours and to promote peaceful and mutually respectful relations between countries and peoples. In these radiant days, I wish you spiritual and physical strength, God’s help and success in your good works.
