SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH February 12, 2017 SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH february 12, 2017 the sunday of the prodigal son The Sunday after the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee is the Sunday of the Prodigal Son. This parable of God’s forgiveness calls us to come to ourselves” as did the prodigal son, to see ourselves as being “in a far country” far from the Father’s house, and to make the journey of return to God. We are given every assurance by the Master that our heavenly Father will receive us with joy and gladness. We must only “arise and go,” confessing our self-inflicted and sinful separation from that “home” where we truly belong (Luke 15:11-24). Saint Meletius, Archbishop of Antioch, was Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia (ca. 357), and afterwards he was summoned to Antioch by the emperor Constantius to help combat the Arian heresy, and was appoint- ed to that See. Saint Meletius struggled zealously against the Arian error, but through the intrigues of the heretics he was thrice deposed from his cathedra. Constantius had become surrounded by the Arians and had accepted their position. In all this Saint Meletius was distinguished by an extraordinary gentleness, and he constantly led his flock by the example of his own virtue and kindly disposition, supposing that the seeds of the true teaching sprout more readily on such soil. Saint Meletius was the one who ordained the future hierarch Saint Basil the Great as deacon. Saint Mele- tius also baptized and encouraged another of the greatest luminaries of Orthodoxy, Saint John Chrysostom, who later eulogized his former archpastor. After Constantius, the throne was occupied by Julian the Apostate, and the saint again was expelled, hav- ing to hide himself in secret places for his safety. Returning under the emperor Jovian in the year 363, Saint Meletius wrote his theological treatise, “Exposition of the Faith,” which facilitated the conversion of many of the Arians to Orthodoxy. In the year 381, under the emperor Theodosius the Great (379-395), the Second Ecumenical Coun- cil was convened. In the year 380 the saint had set off on his way to the Second Ecumenical Council at Constantinople, and came to preside over it. 1510 audubon drive • columbia, missouri, 65201 • tel. 573.817.0050 / fax 573.449.8452 email: [email protected] • web: www.saintlukecolumbia.org at the small entrance we chant αναστ.

    ABSOLUTISM AND EMPIRE: GOVERNANCE ON RUSSIA’S EARLY-MODERN FRONTIER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Paul Romaniello, B. A., M. A. The Ohio State University 2003 Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Eve Levin, Advisor Dr. Geoffrey Parker Advisor Dr. David Hoffmann Department of History Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle ABSTRACT The conquest of the Khanate of Kazan’ was a pivotal event in the development of Muscovy. Moscow gained possession over a previously independent political entity with a multiethnic and multiconfessional populace. The Muscovite political system adapted to the unique circumstances of its expanding frontier and prepared for the continuing expansion to its east through Siberia and to the south down to the Caspian port city of Astrakhan. Muscovy’s government attempted to incorporate quickly its new land and peoples within the preexisting structures of the state. Though Muscovy had been multiethnic from its origins, the Middle Volga Region introduced a sizeable Muslim population for the first time, an event of great import following the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in the previous century. Kazan’s social composition paralleled Moscow’s; the city and its environs contained elites, peasants, and slaves. While the Muslim elite quickly converted to Russian Orthodoxy to preserve their social status, much of the local population did not, leaving Moscow’s frontier populated with animists and Muslims, who had stronger cultural connections to their nomadic neighbors than their Orthodox rulers. The state had two major goals for the Middle Volga Region.

    CONTEXTUALIZING SOME BYZANTINE AND RUSSIAN IMAGES OF THE MOTHER OF GOD AND SAINTS FROM THE BRITISH MUSEUM Engelina S. Smirnova Professor of Art History, Moscow State Lomonosov University Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Art Studies, Moscow, Russia Introduction Before reviewing some icons from the British Museum exhibited at the Museum of Russian Icons, Clinton, MA (see Note, page 15), let it be noted that this exhibition, of course, covers far from all the varieties of such an impressive phenomenon as Russian icon painting. Rus’ embraced Christianity in 988 through the mediation of Byzantium. The newly built Christian churches were decorated not only with mosaics and frescoes, but also, increasingly, with icons painted on wooden panels. Many Russian churches were made of wood and, for this reason, had neither mosaics nor frescoes, but only icons. Compared with other types of religious painting, it was icon painting that became especially well developed in Russia. Gradually there emerged specifically Russian varieties of icon painting, differing in many respects from the Byzantine prototypes. Figure 1. Saint John the The author will first consider the two earliest icons on display and then some images of Forerunner. 1330-1340. Byzantine icon. British the Mother of God and individual saints. Museum, BM 15. Saint John the Forerunner Despite its small size, Saint John the Forerunner (Figure 1) is the earliest icon in the exhibit and it gives an idea of many important features of Byzantine painting. Two aspects stand out. First is the exceptionally rich and intense inner life of the saint conveyed by his stern glance, knitted eyebrows, compressed mouth and the energetic outline of the right hand held in the gesture of blessing.

    RussianStudiesHu 2021 CHARLES J. HALPERIN US PUBLICATIONS (2000–2020) ON MUSCOVITE HISTORY, 1462–16891 Between 2000 and 2020 historians and philologists in the US published a considerable number of books and articles on Muscovite history from 1462 to 1689. On nearly all major issues there is no consensus, so it is impossible to speak of a “US school” of Russian historiography. This survey, organized thematically, will reference thirty-three books and approximately 350 articles. In each rubric authors are listed alphabetically and their publications chronologically. The survey selectively mentions unstudied topics or topics that require further study and briefly summarizes differences of opinion.

US historians and philologists disagree about virtually all major topics in Muscovite history from 1462 to 1689, including the periodization of 1462–1689 that defines this survey. One author even called the field “fractious.” Some authors refer to the late fifteenth century as “late medieval history.” Others refer to the 1462-1689 period as “pre-modern” rather than “early modern.” A growing number now apply to Russia the periodization of European history of “early modern” defined as 1500–1800.

  • Archbishop Afanasii of Kholmogory and His Capital Connections
    russian history 44 (2017) 314-329 brill.com/ruhi Networking in Muscovy: Archbishop Afanasii of Kholmogory and his Capital Connections A.M. Kleimola University of Nebraska-Lincoln [email protected] Abstract Afanasii, the Siberian monk who became the first archbishop of Kholmogory and Vaga, displayed remarkable skill in developing and maintaining a network of con- tacts in Moscow, building upon the traditional practice of distribution of podnosy by church hierarchs. The Arkhangel’sk market gave him access to a wide variety of luxury goods which he brought to the capital as gifts not only for those at the top of the reli- gious and secular hierarchy but for many of lesser status whose positions made them “ door-keepers.” He maintained these contacts for over two decades while managing to remain on good terms with both the Miloslavskii and Naryshkin factions during Peter’s minority. Peter’s visits to the North during the 1690s intensified the working relation- ship between tsar and archbishop, while their shared interests drew Afanasii more deeply into royal projects. Afanasii, like his Siberian compatriot Semen Ul’ianovich Remezov, exemplified in his strengths and weaknesses the characteristics of “Peter’s people” outside of court circles and away from the center.

The article is devoted to the development of religious buildings of Neogothic style and their stylistic features in the second half of the XVIII century. Each new building of this period has an unusual combination of new compositional techniques that illustrates the continuity of architects creativity who wanted to create something new and different, but at the same time causing the association with the Middle Ages. 1 Introduction For cult buildings of early Neogothic style in the second half XVIII – the early XIX century was unusual interpretation of Gothic shapes. According to the volume and planning decisions they had almost nothing in common with Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. During this period construction of orthodox churches with the use of Neogothic forms obviously prevailed. 2 The first orthodox churches of Neogothic style in the Russian Empire The first orthodox churches of Neogothic style in the Russian Empire appeared in Moscow region. It is possible that the earliest of them is St. Nicholas church on Starki's (Figure 1-2) country churchyard in Cherkizovo built possibly on Bazhenov's project in 1759-1763. However, at this point it is not determined exactly when the temple got Neogothic features.
