So, he decided to become a monk, left his father's house and first settled in the nearest monastery, and then he retired into the desert. There Semyon laid the foundation new form selflessness - covetousness. So, he built a high pillar, settled on it, which deprived himself of the opportunity to rest.

Icons of the Mother of God: Miassinskaya (864), Chernigov-Gethsemane (1869), Alexandria and called "All-blessed" (in Kazan, 1905).

Venerable Simeon the Stylite

The Monk Simeon is called the Pillar, because he asceticised on the pillar. While still a youth, he loved to visit the temple of God, where he listened attentively to reading and singing. Once he drew attention to the words of the Gospel, which called blessed the poor in spirit, weeping, meek and pure in heart, and asked an elder to explain these words to him. The elder explained, and the young man decided to leave everything and retire to the monastery. So he did, and at the age of 18 he was tonsured. In the monastery, he surpassed everyone by fasting, so that for several days he did not eat. The fame of his exploits quickly spread, and many people began to flock to him, some for healing, some for blessing and consolation.

To get away from human rumor, he decided to build a pillar and a cramped hut on it, went up there and spent time there in fasting and prayer. St. Simeon was the first to invent this method of asceticism; subsequently, some imitated him. The saint stood on a pillar in the open air, enduring rain, heat and frost. He spent most of the day and all night in prayer, then he lectured visitors, healed the sick and reconciled those who quarreled.

The devil also tempted such an ascetic like Simeon. Appearing to him in the form of an angel on a fiery chariot, he said that the Lord had sent him to take him to heaven, like Elijah. The saint almost believed and already began to sit on the chariot, but made the sign of the cross, and the Devil disappeared. St. Simeon performed many miracles and gave many predictions. He converted many to the faith, fought against Jewish and heretical delusions, taught kings and princes the fear of God, mercy and love with his messages. St. Simeon is over YO years old. Stood on a pillar for 80 years. Died in 459 at the pillar of St. Simeon died in 428 and his mother, St. Martha.

Righteous Joshua

Joshua, who is commemorated at the service today, came from the tribe of Ephraim and was originally named "Hoshea" (Hosea), but was renamed by Moses to "Yehoshua" (Jesus) when he was sent as a scout with representatives of the other 11 tribes. Commentators explain the reason for the change in the name by the prayer of Moses, so that Jesus would remain in his opinion and not follow the rest of the scouts. Already at the very entry into the wilderness, after leaving Egypt, with his courage he saved the people from the attack of the Amalekites (Ex. 17 ch.), And then during the whole wandering was the main assistant of Moses until all his power passed to him.

Righteous Joshua was the leader of the Jewish people after Moses. Moses brought the Jews out of Egypt, and Joshua brought them into the promised land - Canaan. Through Joshua, the Lord performed many miracles. Thus, the Jews miraculously crossed the Jordan River, conquered the very fortified city of Jericho, and after it other cities, won a glorious victory at Gibeon. When they approached the Jordan River, the Lord commanded Joshua to order the priests with the Ark of the Covenant, the most important shrine, to enter the water, and as soon as they entered, the upper part of the water stopped, and the lower part flowed away, and the Jews crossed the river. To capture the city of Jericho, Joshua ordered the priests to carry the ark of the covenant around the city, at the command of God, and on the seventh day the walls of the city fell by themselves.

During the battle at the city of Gibeon, when the war was not yet over, and the day was already leaning towards evening, Joshua said: "Stop, sun, and do not move, moon," and night did not come until the enemies were defeated. After conquering the land of Canaan, Joshua divided it among the twelve tribes of the people of Israel. Feeling the approach of death, Joshua gathered the people and exhorted them to keep the law of Moses and not communicate with the pagans, threatening disasters for breaking the law. He died at the age of 110, he died peacefully and was buried on Mount Ephraim (Joshua 19:49, 50; 24:30). On his deathbed he called upon his people: “Fear the Lord and serve Him in purity and sincerity; reject the gods that your fathers served across the river and in Egypt, but serve the Lord. " One of the books of the Bible telling about his deeds is named after Joshua. He lived in the 16th century. to P. X.

Miassin Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos

The Miassin icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is called so because it was located in the Miasin monastery near the city of Meletina, in Armenia. Many miracles happened here from the icon. When Leo the Isaurian (in the 8th century) persecuted icons, the Miasin icon was thrown into Lake Azurovo, but after many years, during the reign of the noble princes Michael and his mother Theodora, it appeared from the depths of the lake and was found completely intact on September 1, 864 g.

Church New Years is an important stage for the Christian world. It is also called the beginning of a new church year, the beginning of the indict. This event marks the beginning of the history of the New Testament.

This is an enduring holiday, so to speak. Indict has many meanings, but in almost every case this word means the beginning of a period. In Orthodoxy, an indict is called the beginning of a church year and a circle of services. It is from September 14 that the church calendar begins.

The meaning of the holiday

Every holiday in Christianity refers us to some events from the Gospel. Any celebration or fast reflects some story from the New Testament. The holidays are associated with the holy apostles, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.

The New Testament story of Jesus Christ begins not with his birth, but with the Nativity of the Virgin. In Orthodoxy, the Heavenly Intercessor is considered the beginning of all principles, for without her there would be no Christ, there would be no Salvation. The New Year seems to show us that everything repeats itself over and over again. Every year we must remember each stage of this story in order to give it its due. Each holiday has its own meaning, studying which, we study the history of the salvation of our souls.

None of the events in the life of Christ and the Mother of God was accidental. This is what the new year shows us. The church honors this holiday, so on September 14 there are always special services in churches. It's kind of New Year for the church and all Christians.

How to celebrate the new year

The clergy assure that this is one of the best times to go to church and receive communion. On this day, people ask for forgiveness from everyone who has been offended during the church year, give gifts related to faith and religion: icons, calendars and much more.

The people have always believed that the Orthodox New Year should mean a spiritual renewal. People were very responsible about meeting the new year. On this day, we saw off the summer and met the autumn. Even in the early period of the history of Russia, around this time, people greeted autumn with songs and dances. The beginning of the indict in Christianity is not a typically positive holiday. Rather, it has an iconic character. He personifies the period of spiritual renewal.

As for prayers in the New Year, there are no restrictions and instructions. On this important day, you can read any prayers that will allow you to strengthen your faith and enter a new stage. It can be both "Our Father" and "Symbol of Faith" or some other common prayer. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

Volkh wanted to conquer the heavens, and then the whole Universe. The guy had many opportunities for this. The young god had not only strength, but cunning as well. And when Volkh turned into a falcon, he entered the heavenly garden and wanted to peck at the golden apples. Such apples gave immortality and power over the World. When God flew in, he heard Lelya singing in the garden.

Sokol listened and forgot why he flew. And when he saw the beauty, he immediately changed his mind about capturing the universe. Volkh became Lelia's secret lover. This story tells about love, Lely's wanderings and searches for each other. Lelya was still able to free Volkh from the underworld.

When Elena went ashore, she fell asleep in the shade of the trees.

According to legend, in a dream she had a vision. In it, a young youth asked to build a temple on the island in the name of the Cross of the Lord. So Elena did.
