Thank you very much for your generosity! THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. NICHOLAS THE WONDERWORKER, ARCHBISHOP OF MYRA IN LYCAEA (THE FINALE!). From the St. Nicholas Center, https://www.stnicholascenter.org Tax Relief For Myra The people of Myra were suffering under the burden of heavy taxes. They begged Bishop Nicholas to ask the emperor to relieve them of the high taxes which caused such hardship. Nicholas went to Constantine to plead the cause of his people. The emperor heard Nicholas’ pleas and granted a large reduction. Nicholas was given a written copy of the order. He immediately took the copy and went down to the sea where he threw the parchment out into the water. Soon afterwards it was fished out of the water near Myra and taken to the proper authorities. The order was put into immediate effect and taxes were lowered substantially. Meanwhile the finance ministers convinced Constantine that losing this revenue would seriously harm the royal treasury. Constantine summoned Nicholas back and asked to have the order returned so it could be changed to a much smaller tax cut. When Nicholas reported that the order had already been put into effect in Myra, Constantine sent a runner to determine the truth. Figure 1 Icon of St. Nicholas With Our Lord and Holy Mother Theotokos, also showing scenes from his life. How many events from How could it be true when St. Nicholas’ life can you identify? Bishop Nicholas was still in Page 3 of 4 Constantinople? However, when Nicholas’ words were confirmed, the emperor allowed the full reduction to stand. A century later Myra’s people still attributed their low rate of taxation to St. Nicholas. Grace Received: The Death of St. Nicholas Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, in the land of Lycia, in the poetic words of Symeon the Metaphrast, "had long lived … renowned for his virtuous conduct, he asperged the metropolis of Myra with sweet and lovely unction distilled from the blossoms of divine Grace." As Nicholas came to the end of his life, he prayed that God would send his angels to receive his spirit. When Nicholas saw the angels, he spoke the psalm, "I have hope in thee, O Lord" … . " into thine hands I commend my spirit." He gave up his spirit and died in the year of our Lord three-hundred and forty-three. His earthly body, borne by a great procession of bishops, priests, monks, and deacons, was laid to rest in a marble tomb in the crypt of his own cathedral church in Myra. From his tomb there flowed a fountain of manna that has continued until this day. A Second Home: The Translation After Myra fell under the control of the Seljuks, who were not sympathetic to the Christian faith, Italian merchants in both Venice and Bari saw an opportunity for their cities. A major place of pilgrimage, such as Nicholas tomb, would be a great boon to both spiritual and economic life. Forty-seven set out from Bari, sailing in three ships, to accomplish the task. Making port in Andriaki, they made their way to the church in Myra. A small community of monks guarded Saint Nicholas' shrine. To the monks horror, the Barians broke into the tomb and made off with the saints' relics. The ships arrived triumphantly back in Bari on May 9, 1087. The townspeople were overjoyed and San Nicola became the patron saint of Bari and all Apulia. A great church, the Basilica di San Nicola, was built for the saint, who is now known as Saint in Bari as well as Bishop of Myra. The tomb of St. Nicholas has been a major pilgrimage site ever since. Two ancient detailed accounts of the Translation of Saint Nicholas: Translation of Saint Nicholas, by Nicephoros, written immediately after the arrival of his relics in Bari, May 9, 1087 Translation of Saint Nicholas, an anonymous account written in Greek in the 13th century. Divine Approval Many icons show Saint Nicholas with Jesus on one side and Mary the Blessed Mother on the other. They hold symbols of a bishop's office: the Book of the Gospels and an omophorion. They appeared this way in two events of Nicholas' life. As we already recounted, the first was when he was selected to be consecrated as a bishop.

  • The Life of St. John, Metropolitan of Tobolsk, Siberia
    The Garland of the Annual Church Calendar On the occasion of his commemoration ( June 10) The Life of Saint John (Maximovitch), Metropolitan of Tobolsk, Siberia († June 10, 1715)1 An important personality in the Church, outstanding Hierarch, great ascetic, God-inspired poet, educator, missionary, friend of the poor, the last Saint to be glorified in Imperial Russia, St. John of Tobolsk was the distant ancestor, heav- enly patron, model, and guide of the newly-revealed Saint John (Maximovitch), Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisco, the Wonder-worker. 1 Source: The Orthodox Word, Vol. II, No. 5 (11) (November-December 1966), pp. 158-165. 1 he great Caves Monastery of Kiev was, from the earliest years of Orthodox Christianity in Russia, a fount of sanctity for the Twhole of the Russian land. The Monastery was destroyed in the Tar- tar invasion of the 13th century; but it was later restored, and again in the 17th century it entered upon a period of spiritual blossom- ing that produced a whole series of holy hierarchs. Among them, to name only the closest contemporaries and associates of St. John, were St. Dimitry of Rostov (1651-1709), St. Theodosius of Chernigov (1630-1696), and Blessed Philotheus of Tobolsk (d. 1727); slightly lat- er there were such holy men as St. Innocent of Irkutsk (1680-1731), St. Ioasaph of Belgorod (1705-1754), and St. Paul of Tobolsk (1705-1770). In this company of hierarch-saints, St. John of Tobolsk occupies his own significant place. A member of the noble family of Maximovitch, which enjoyed high favor with the Russian Tsars, St.

  • The Church's Prayer for the Dead
    The Church’s Prayer for the Dead The Holy Orthodox Church, like a concerned mother, daily, at every divine service, offers up prayers for all her children who have departed for the land of eternity. Thus, at the midnight service troparia and prayers for the departed are read, and they are commemorated at its concluding ektenia. This is so also at compline. At matins and vespers the departed are remembered by name at the Augmented Ektenia, "Have mercy on us, O God..." They are commemorated three times during the Liturgy: at the Proskomedia, at the ektenia following the Gospel, and after the consecration of the Precious Gifts when "Meet it is in truth . ." is sung. Furthermore, one day of the week is set aside for prayers for the dead -Saturday, on which it is customary to have a service for the dead, unless it coincides with a feast, if such is to be served on that day. The Third Day We commemorate the dead on the third day firstly, because those who have departed had been baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the One God in three Persons, and had kept the Orthodox faith they received at holy baptism; secondly, because they preserved the three virtues which form the foundation of our salvation, namely: faith, hope and love; thirdly, because man's being possesses three internal powers—reason, emotion and desire—by which we all have transgressed. And since man's actions manifest themselves in three ways—by deed, word, and thought—by our commemoration on the third day we entreat the Holy Trinity to forgive the departed all transgressions committed by the three above-mentioned powers and actions.

  • Collegiate Church of the Ikon of the Mother of God Joy of All Who Sorrow October 2015
    “Joy of All Who Sorrow” No. 83 October 2015 St Dmitry Rostov: He Who Brought the Saints Close to Us. As well as bequeathing to the Church the great gift of his Lives of the Saints, St Dmitry Rostov (21 Sep/4 Oct) also lived a holy life himself – indeed, who could write with such grace about holiness in others if he himself did not possess it? Here is a short summary of this life and an introduction to the Menologion and its significance for those who are not yet familiar with it. Pease note that Volumes September to April have been translated into English, and the remaining months are in the process of being translated. Life Bishop Demetrius (Dimitry) (Daniel Tuptalo in the world) was born into a Cossack family in 1651, in the village of Makarovo in the Kiev region. He enrolled in the Kiev academy, but had to give up his studies because of war and finished his education studying by himself. After taking monastic vows at one of the Chernigov monasteries, he caught the attention of Archbishop Lazarus Baranovich, who directed him to preach in his cathedral. During the next two years Saint Dimitry preached frequently, and soon became so famous for his eloquence that churches in Lithuania and Malorossia (Ukraine) competed with one another in having him come and preach. Saint Dimitry was thirty-three years old when he started his immortal 12-volume work—Cheti-Minei, or Menologion (Monthly Readings)—which described the lives of saints for every day of the year. For 20 years (from 1684 to 1704) he diligently collected, studied, and compiled these lives of saints.

Philologia Classica 2020, 15 (2), 246–260. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu20.2020.205 This article offers an overview of the Greco-Latin and early modern Jesuit sources of Stefan Iavorskii’s (1658–1722) three bilingual panegyrics addressed to his patron Varlaam Iasinskii, rector of the Kiev-Mohyla college (1669–1689), the Orthodox metropolitan of Kiev (1690– 1707), Hercules post Atlantem infracto virtutum robore honorarium pondus sustinens published in Chernihiv in 1684, Arctos Caeli Rossiaci in Gentilitiis Syderibus and Pełnia nieubywaiącey chwały w herbowym xiężycu (The Plenitude of Inexhaustible Glory in the heraldic moon), pub- lished in Kiev in 1690 and 1691. Both these works are prosimetric bilinguals (some sections are in Latin, others in Polish), testifying to a significant classical erudition of their author. However, Hercules is one most traditionally “classical” in its dispositio and elocutio, while the style of the other two, written after Iavorskii’s educational journey through Jesuit schools in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, is much more innovative, highly metaphorical, al- legorical, relying on the argumentation of surprise (based on acumen- and argutia-theory expounded in the rhetoric of Jan Kwiatkiwiecz) and emblems due to an extensive use of com- binations of multiple pictorial-verbal themes (especially in Pełnia).

  • Kinship, Property Relations, and the Survival of Double Monasteries in the Eastern Church
    The Historical Journal Kinship, property relations, and the survival of double monasteries in the Eastern Church Journal: The Historical Journal Manuscript ID HJ-2017-096.R3 Manuscript Type: Article Period: 1500-99, 1600-99, 1700-99 Thematic: Religious, Political, Administrative & Legal, Social Geographic: Europe, Continental Cambridge University Press Page 1 of 40 The Historical Journal KINSHIP, PROPERTY RELATIONS, AND THE SURVIVAL OF DOUBLE MONASTERIES IN THE EASTERN CHURCH LIUDMYLA SHARIPOVA University of Nottingham ABSTRACT The article examines the enduring phenomenon of double monasticism, the type of religious organization, whereby a single monastic unit combined a male and a female communities that followed the same rule, recognized the authority of the same superior, and functioned within the boundaries of the same monastic compound or in close proximity to each other, but not in shared quarters. Going back with their origins to the period of late antiquity, double monasteries effectively ceased to exist in the Latin West by the High Middle Ages, but demonstrated remarkable staying powers in the sphere of historic Byzantine cultural influences, particularly in Orthodox Eastern Europe and Christian Middle East, where this archaic type of monastic institution survived into the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Based on previously unexplored archival material from the Orthodox lands of the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth and later – the Ukrainian Hetmanate, a semi-autonomous state ruled by elective officers who recognized the tsar of Muscovy as their suzerain, the article analyses the place of kinship structures, economic and political factors, legal frameworks, and the role of the imperial state in the evolution and ultimate decline of the double monastery.

    ISSN 2353-8406 Knowledge, Education, Law, Management 2020 № 3 (31), vol. 2 DOI https://doi.org/10.51647/kelm.2020.3.2.4 TRADITIONS AND INNOVATIONS OF RELIGIOUS CHOIR WORKS BY V. STEPURKO Maryna Varakuta PhD in Arts, Associated Professor, Professor at the Department of History and Theory of Music M. Glinka Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Music of Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council ORCID ID: 0000-0003-0863-8829 Abstract. The purpose of the work. The article studies, on the example of the creative work of the famous Ukrainian composer Viktor Stepurko, the problem of the correlation of traditions and innovations in modern choral works of religious subject, created over the past two decades. It is noted that choral music occupies an important place in V. Stepurko’s work, and that the composer pays considerable attention to a religious theme, which gives us every reason to study the stylistic features of the creative method and the most important principles of religious choral works in the context of Ukrainian music of the late XX – early XXI century. The methodology of the research is a historical-typological method and a genre- style one. The historical-typological method is associated with the problems of the historical evolution of the Ukrainian religious music, the genre-style method is associated with the issues of a contemporary music analysis. The scientific novelty of the work is in the study of well-known but little-investigated compositions for a choir, created by the modern Ukrainian composer, and in which the traditions of the Ukrainian religious music are interpreted, and, at the same time, the modern trends of the musical language are clearly manifested.

THREE SAINTS OF ALSACE Archimandrite Philip Ryabykh and Sergiy Volosenko on the lives and veneration of three women saints – Odile of Alsace, Sophia of Rome, and Richarde of Andlau – whose influence rooted Christianity in eastern France. An armchair pilgrimage to Alsace and beyond. I. Saint Odile: A Visit to Mont Sainte-Odile’s Hohenburg Abbey SERGIY: Saint Odile is one of the most venerated local saints of Alsace, as well as being a saint of the undivided Church before the schism. She was considered holy in her own lifetime and her influence on monastic life was so profound that she was named the heavenly protectress of the region of Alsace. Living here, we follow St. John Maximovitch and Fr. Seraphim Rose, who advised Orthodox Christians, especially those of us living in Western Europe, to study the saints of the pre-schism Church and spread the news about them to Orthodox countries, because these saints unite us. We study the life of St. Odile in our parish of All Saints in Strasbourg, we pray to her, and we even have an icon with a small portion of her relics.
