  • Bulgakov Handbook
    December 11 E. Our Venerable Father Daniel the Stylite Born in Samosata, Mesopotamia, he left for a certain monastery to practice asceticism at 13 years of age where he soon surprised the strict ascetics by his zealousness for prayer and diligence. Then he visited the Ven. Simeon the Stylite (see Sept. 1) and with his blessing left for a hermitage in Thrace where he climbed on a pillar about the year 459. Here he “underwent all ferocity”, “both bitterly cold winters and the heat of the sun, and the rottenness of flesh, and from it were worms of animosity”. His holy way of life frequently led the Emperors Leo and Zeno to him for the reception of his blessing and the hearing of his prophecy, always with justified events. Glorified by the gift of wonderworking and insight, St. Daniel died in the year 480. Kontakion, tone 8 Having ascended the pillar like a radiant star, O blessed One, You illumined the world with your venerable deeds, And dispelled the darkness of deception, O Father, Therefore we beseech you: Shine forth even now the never setting light of understanding Into the hearts of your servants Ven. Luke, the new Stylite A warrior, miraculously saved from death in battle with the Bulgars, he left the vain world and accepted monasticism. Ordained a presbyter, he practiced asceticism on a pillar for 45 years in the city of Chalcedon. In order to observe the vow of silence Ven. Luke carried a stone in his mouth. He died in about the year 970-980. Ven.

Though clairned to have existed ab antiquo, these imperial privileges in fact have their origin in the late sixteenth century and bear the characteristics of western Latin ecclesial and political thought.

He became a monk at the age of twelve. After visiting Saint Symeon the Stylite (see Sept. 1) and receiving his blessing, he was moved with zeal to follow his marvelous way of life. At the age of forty-two, guided by providence, he came to Anaplus in the environs of Constantinople, in the days of the holy Patriarch Anatolius (see July 3), who was also healed by Saint Daniel of very grave malady and sought to have him live near him. Upon coming to Anaplus, Saint Daniel first lived in the church of the Archangel Michael, but after some nine years, Saint Symeon the Stylite appeared to him in a vision, commanding him to imitate his own ascetical struggle upon a pillar. The remaining thirty-three years of his life he stood for varying periods on three pillars, one after another. He stood immovable in all weather, and once his disciples found him covered with ice after a winter storm.

  • MONOPHYSITISM, the Doctrine That the Incarnate Christ Is One Person
    (CE: 1669a-1678a) MONOPHYSITISM, the doctrine that the incarnate Christ is one Person and has one divine nature as opposed to the orthodox doctrine that he is one Person and has two natures, one human and one divine. The rift between the Monophysites, including the Coptic, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Armenian churches, and the Orthodox Church has divided Eastern Christianity since the sixth century. It emerged slowly after the Council of CHALCEDON in 451. The Monophysites hold firm to the main Christological tenant of Saint CYRIL I, early fifth-century patriarch of Alexandria, that the two natures of Christ were united at the Incarnation in such a way that the one Christ was essentially divine, although he assumed from the Virgin THEOTOKOS the flesh and attributes of a man. The Period Before Chalcedon (325-451) The distant origins of the Monophysite position can be found in John 1:14 ("The Word became flesh and dwelt among us"), but no theological issue arose until after the First Council of NICAEA in 325, at which it was agreed that Christ was to be acknowledged as "of one substance with the Father." If, however, He was of one substance (HOMOOUSION) with the Father, how was His humanity to be understood? The long duration of the controversy over ARIANISM, which denied that Christ was divine, masked the problem, but during the 370s Apollinaris of Laodicea, an anti-Arian and a lifelong friend of Saint ATHANASIUS I, patriarch of Alexandria, set out a radical and uncompromising solution (see APOLLINARIANISM). "The supreme point in our salvation," he argued, "is the incarnation of the Word.

  • Introduction
    I ntroduction Volker Menze Barsauma destroyed all Syria. He incited thousands of monks against us. Drive out the murderer Barsauma. The murderer to the stadium! Anathema to Barsauma! Barsauma into exile!1 The basis for these accusations brought forth by the bishops assembled at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 remains dubious, but they were nevertheless serious and far-reaching: the archimandrite Barsauma (Barsaumas/Barsumas/Barsawmo, etc.)2 was believed to have led riotous monks against their bishops as well as hav- ing been involved in the assassination of Bishop Flavian of Constantinople (446– 449). Flavian had been deposed two years earlier at the Second Council of Ephesus and died shortly afterward under unclear circumstances.3 I ndependent of the question of whether these accusations bear any truth, this very unflattering description of Barsauma in the Acts of the council has at least partially shaped the negative image of Barsauma in Western church history. How- ever, for a little more than 100 years now Barsauma has also been known from another text: just before the First World War François Nau edited and translated some Syriac fragments of Barsauma’s Life, which show the wandering saint as a violent ascetic and anti-Jewish zealot.4 Since their publication, these fragments of Barsauma’s hagiography have been used widely in scholarship, although they present less than a third of the full Life. The full Life of Barsauma offers one of the longest and most extensive hagiographies from antiquity—longer than, for exam- ple, the three surviving lives of Simeon Stylites altogether! 1.
