PSKOV-PECHERY BULLETIN No.13 PSKOV-PECHERY BULLETIN No.13 VENERABLE VASSA With the blessing of His Eminence Evsevy, Metropolitan of Pskov and Velikie Luki, Very Reverend Archimandrite of the Pskov- Pechery Monastery of the Dormition enerable Vassa (secular name – Maria) was a pious woman and devoted wife of Venerable Iona, missionary and Vfounder of the Pskov-Pechery Monastery. By God’s providence, she arrived in the city of Yuriev in Livonia (Tartu) together with her husband in the second half of the 15th century. The evil will of catholic priests and Livonian knights with regard to all Orthodoxy practitioners was so fierce that the entire family had to flee to the city of Pskov. After a while their friend, priest Isidor, and 72 parishioners suffered death of martyrdom for their strong commitment to Orthodoxy. The chronicle says that when priest John (the secular name Venerable Iona had before taking monastic vows) arrived in Pskov, he took his wife and two children and committed himself to new labors. When he heard about the God-created caves, he decided to stay in the village nearby, in the house of John Dementiev close to the Pachkovka river. John used to wake up early in the morning and go to the Saint Hill, and there he started digging a church in the hill slope. Although the chronicle says nothing about the life of his wife and children at the time, there is no doubt that they helped John in his hard work. John’s wife Maria completely took over upbringing of their children and cultivated seeds of the Truth and good in their souls. She lived in awe of God and developed the same feeling in the hearts of her children as she was aware she would have to account for them before God. When Maria felt she was approaching the end of her mortal life, she moved closer to the church created by her husband and took monastic vows with the name of Vassa. It was her rebirth to the Eternal Life. From now on, she belonged to her Heavenly Bridegroom – Christ. She was ill at the time, and after a while she died. Father John and the spiritual father of Mother Vassa dug a grave in the God-created cave to bury her. But over the night the coffin with her body was brought back to surface by some invisible force. This miracle astonished both Father John and Vassa’s spiritual father, not to mention the other people who had been present at the burial ceremony. The priests thought they had omitted something essential in the burial service, and having repeated carefully all the prayers, they buried the coffin with the body again. But the same miracle followed, and the next day the coffin reappeared on the surface. So John dug a special place to the left of the cave and put the coffin there untombed. This was how God glorified Venerable Vassa immediately after her death. Another great miracle occurred many years later. During one of the assaults of the Livonians in the Pskov-Pechery Monastery, a knight wanted to desecrate the sanctuary with Venerable Vassa’s relics. He tried to open the coffin’s cover with his sword but was suddenly stopped by fire coming from inside the coffin. One can still find traces of the fire on the right side of the coffin, and a pilgrim can often smell divine fragrance coming from it. Venerable Vassa was the first person who took monastic vows in the Pskov-Pechery Monastery. For her pious life and love for God she was taken to heaven along with Venerable Mark and Iona. The fact is that taking monastic vows was just the last step on the long way of this saint lady who had followed an ascetic way of life, which is always more challenging in the secular world than in the monastery. This made her exploit even more significant. Venerable Vassa spent most of her life not as a nun but as a loving mother and devoted wife. She was pious, gentle and hard-working, and possessed all virtues of a woman of faith. She stayed in the secular world but led a life filled with angelic patience, her heart was free from all evil. Rough times and privations freed her spirit and enabled her ascent to God along a hard but virtuous path. The life of Venerable Mother Vassa is an example of God’s glorification throughout the entire course of her earthly life. This world often seems cruel and void of any sense, but when it is lit by saints who are carriers of God’s Truth, it becomes full of wisdom and wonder. Saints’ lives represent victory over evil by means of love and heavenly life on earth. And we should remember that any person – be it a man or a woman – is equally valuable in God’s eyes. The immortal spirit of any person is more precious than any treasure of this world. And any soul can potentially get back to the heavenly state of being God’s Child. This can be achieved through our faith in Lord Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, and by leaving the path of misbelief and sins. The life of Venerable Vassa is an example of love and faith for all of us to follow. The day of her commemoration is April 1. Through the prayers of Venerable Vassa, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.

It is too early yet to trace the fortunes of the Russian sects during this latest period, for the contradictory news of the struggle is not to be trusted; and few, if any, know what is really happening or has happened in unhappy Russia. Since, however, the future is largely moulded by the past, I trust that my work may be of some use to those who sincerely desire to understand and trace out the springs of the Revolu- tion. It is not a work of original research. I have only read a number of Russian authorities and freely exploited them. I have especially used the Historj' of the Russian Ra^kol by Ivanovski (two volumes, Kazan, 1895 and 1897). He was professor of the subject in the Kazan Seminary between 1880 and 1895. He tries to be fair, and in the main succeeds in being so. Subbotin, indeed, in a letter to Pobedonostzev, Procurator of the Holy SjTiod, who had consisted him about the best manuals on the subject, wrote shghtingly of the work; but I think unfairiy, for the only concrete faults he finds with it are, first, that the author allowed himself to use the phrase; 'the historical Christ,' which had to his ears a rationalist ring; and secondly, that he devoted too Uttle space to the Moscow Synods of 1654 to 1667.

  • Russian Orthodox Church and Democratic Transition in Russia Peter M.Ivanov Introduction. This Research Project Primarily Concent
    1 Russian Orthodox Church and Democratic Transition in Russia Peter M.Ivanov Introduction. This research project primarily concentrates on the developments in the relations between the Russian Orthodox Church (hereafter - ROC), on the one hand, and the state and society in Russia, on the other, during the last several years. The period under review, if strictly defined, embraces the years 1991 - 1999, i.e. from the time of obvious collapse of the Communist state in the USSR until the nowadays. The main goal of the author was to show, how the Church reacts to different political, social, economic, cultural changes in Russia, in what way it participates in complicated developmental processes. The revival of the ROC itself, which has been severely suppressed during the period of the Communist rule, is an important background of the research undertaken. The period of democratic reforms in Russia (whatever their evaluation might have been) coincided with the times of dynamic revival of the ROC. Disappointing results of the economic reforms, atmosphere of social crisis, political instability and absence of normally functioning parliament and political parties enjoying popular support, - all these factors 2 provide for strong social interest in the role of the ROC in the current development of Russia. It is simultaneously a symbol of hope for ones, and the target of bitter criticism and even hate for the others. The supporters state, that the ROC is the main or only reliable force of national salvation. The opponents see it as a conservative force, separated from the major part of society and doomed to become an ethnographic reservation in the near future.

The present author wrote in April 1986: 'any speculation that there will be liberalisation in the area of religion (or any other) would be premature at the time of writing. Changes may perhaps be in the offing in the economic field, but in political areas, including the political control of religion, there is as yet no sign of any change of policy.'

His first reference to religion, in November 1986, was made during a stop- over to Tashkent en route to India and was not reported in the central Soviet press. It was generally taken to be a reference to Islam and to concern nationalism rather than religion. 3. 'A Declaration of Need and a Call to Prayer', Frontier, January-February 1987, p. 16. 4.

  • “Make This the Place Where Your Glory Dwells”: Origins
    “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Vitalijs Permjakovs ____________________________ Maxwell E. Johnson, Director Graduate Program in Theology Notre Dame, Indiana April 2012 © Copyright 2012 Vitalijs Permjakovs All rights reserved “MAKE THIS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR GLORY DWELLS”: ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF THE BYZANTINE RITE FOR THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH Abstract by Vitalijs Permjakovs The Byzantine ritual for dedication of churches, as it appears in its earliest complete text, the eighth-century euchologion Barberini gr. 336, as well as in the textus receptus of the rite, represents a unique collection of scriptural and euchological texts, together with the ritual actions, intended to set aside the physical space of a public building for liturgical use. The Byzantine rite, in its shape already largely present in Barberini gr. 336, actually comprises three major liturgical elements: 1) consecration of the altar; 2) consecration of the church building; 3) deposition of relics. Our earliest Byzantine liturgical text clearly conceives of the consecration of the altar and the deposition of the relics/“renovation” (encaenia) as two distinct rites, not merely elements of a single ritual. This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics Vitalijs Permjakovs became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE.

The purpose of the article is to establish, on the basis of historiographical analysis of works, primarily historical, devoted to charity in the Cossacks era, in particular, fi gures of Hetman B.

B. Khmelnytskyi issued a large number of stationers to the Kiev monasteries, since it was in Kiev that there were the most ancient and most respected monasteries. They were mainly concerned with the transfer of land, settlements, property, etc. In total, according to our calculations, B. Khmelnitsky published 38 versatile people of similar content. Modern Ukrainian historians are unanimous in that the fundamental foundations of charity were laid by B. Khmelnytsky since the fi rst months of the liberation struggle. During the next time, they experienced some changes, but the main thing was that charity was viable and had a long-term character.

  • The Notion of People in Medieval and Early-Modern Russia
    ROZPRAWY . WYKŁADNIE . INTERPRETACJE SENSUS HISTORIAE ISSN 2082–0860 Vol. III (2011/2) s. 9-34 Konstantin Erusalimsky Moscow Th e Notion of People in Medieval and Early-Modern Russia t is diffi cult to fi nd in Medieval Russia a social discourse as a set of énoncés Ion rules and principles of communal life and on their implementation. Historians of social thought negate capacity of Muscovites to produce social theory until the late XVII century. Shouldn’t we change our optics and look for it in other place? European authors of XVI and XVII centuries were pioneers in juridical study of societies, but their theories do not seem now compatible with what was called “social theory” in the Enlightenment or what we may call social theory now.1 In that sense the late XVII century, and the large part of the next century haven’t yielded essential changes in Russia, despite rapid and numerous reforms: “Russia’s civil society of educated” (obshchestvo) arose only in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century and at the time did not describe a universalist society encompassing all citizens. Th us although educated Russians invoked concepts such as “the public” (publica), “society” (obshchestvo), and “the people” (narod) that transcended social particularlism, historians must be wary of applying the nineteenth-century meanings of these categories to eighteenth-century social relationships. Similarly, they must be wary of applying the categories of sociology and political theory — for example, Habermas’s “bourgeois public sphere” — to historical contexts in which comparable categories had not yet been articulated. Th e historian who seeks to recover the voices of the people would do well to employ the language, categories, and concepts articulated by those very people.
