Icon of the day

Venerable Pamva of the Caves, hermit, hieromonk

Reverend Pamva lived in the XIII century. He was a hieromonk of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery.

During the siege of the monastery by the Tatars, the monks sent Saint Pamva for food. Great as the danger was, the saint humbly undertook to obey, but the Tatars seized him and tortured him for refusing to renounce the Christian faith.

He told them: “Your gods are cursed, and I believe in Christ, the True God, Who created heaven and earth. He is the Lord, the only True, Almighty, He and will deliver me from your hands through the prayers of the saints of the Caves. "

And, indeed, subsequently the monk miraculously escaped from the torturers: he was caught up by the angels and transferred to his cell in the Kiev Caves monastery.

Until his blessed death, Saint Pamva lived in seclusion, where he peacefully reposed before God in 1241. The relics of the monk rest in the Far (Theodosian) caves.

The memory of the Monk Pamva is also celebrated on August 28 / September 10 - the day of joint remembrance of the Reverend Fathers resting in the Far Caves.

Troparion to the Monk Pamva, the hermit of the Caves, in the Far Caves

By unbelievable obedience / and rejection of my will / I have bridled myself strong, / I gave myself to God for Christ's torment and wounds, / from Him sugubo, all righteous Pamvo, who were married, // pray to our souls.

Translation: By diligent obedience and rejection of your will, having firmly bridled yourself, you doomed yourself to torment and wounds for Christ God, but from Him especially, revered by all Father Pamvo, you were crowned, pray for our souls.

Kontakion to the Monk Pamva, the hermit of the Caves, in the Far Caves

Monastic obedience to the blood of torment reddened, / we please thee kindly, / to the Monk Pamvo, / and, worshiping the honest power, we probably pray: // pray to God for all incessantly.

Translation: Monastic obedience to the one who has stained with martyr's blood, we glorify you with love, Monk Martyr Pamvo, and, worshiping the revered relics, we pray with faith: "Pray to the Lord without ceasing for all of us."

Reading the Gospel with the Church

The Holy Church reads the Gospel of Matthew. Chapter XIV, 35 - XV, 11.

CHAPTER 14.

35 The inhabitants of that place, recognizing Him, sent to all that neighborhood and brought all the sick to Him. 36 and asked Him to only touch the hem of His garment; and those who touched were healed.

CHAPTER 15.

1 Then the Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees come to Jesus and say: 2 Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answered them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 For God has commanded: Honor your father and mother; and: he who curses his father or mother, let him die.

5 And you say: if someone says to a father or mother: a gift To god what you would use from me 6 he may not honor his father or his mother; thus you have removed the commandment of God by your tradition.

7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied well about you, saying: 8 These people draw near to Me with their lips, and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 but they honor Me in vain, teaching the doctrines, the commandments of men.

10 And calling the people, he said to them: Hear and understand!

11 not what goes into the mouth defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth defiles a person.

(Matt. 14, 35 - 15, 11)

  H There is no doubt that Orthodoxy is such a connecting force, but not in the form in which it came to Russia from Byzantium, but in the form in which it acquired on the Russian land, taking into account national, political and socio-economic characteristics Ancient Rus... Byzantine Orthodoxy came to Russia, having already formed a pantheon of Christian saints, for example, such as Nicholas the Wonderworker, John the Baptist and others, deeply revered to this day. By the 11th century, Christianity in Russia was taking only the first steps, and for many ordinary people that time was not yet a source of faith. Indeed, in order to recognize the holiness of the newly arrived saints, one had to believe very deeply, to be imbued with the spirit of the Orthodox faith. It is quite another matter when before your eyes there is an example in the person of your own, a Russian person, sometimes even a commoner, who performs holy asceticism. Here the most skeptical person with respect to Christianity will believe. Thus, by the end of the 11th century, a Russian pantheon of saints began to form, revered to this day on a par with common Christian saints.

Troparion of the Mother of God in front of Her Vladimir Icon

The Vladimir icon of the Mother of God, according to legend, was written by the Evangelist Luke on a board from the table at which the Holy Family ate: the Savior, the Mother of God and the righteous Joseph the Betrothed. Satisfying the pious desire of the preeminent Christians, the holy apostle painted on a blackboard with a brush the face of the Mother of God with the Eternal Child in her arms. When the God-wise writer brought this and the other two icons, painted by him, to the Most Holy Theotokos, she, looking at them, repeated the prophetic words spoken to righteous Elizabeth: "From now on they will bless Me, all the births," adding: "The grace of Rodshagos from Me and Mine, yes will be with holy icons. " One of these three icons, according to legend, is the icon now called "Vladimirskaya".

In half of the 5th century. she was brought from Jerusalem to Constantinople, and in the middle of the XII century. sent Patriarch of Constantinople to Kiev to the Grand Duke Yuri Vladimirovich Dolgoruky and was placed in a nunnery in Vyshgorod. In 1155, the prince of Vyshgorod, Andrei Yurievich, going north to establish an independent possession there, took with him miraculous icon Our Lady. On the way, prayers were served and miracles were performed from the icon. When they were approaching the bank of the Klyazma, the horses carrying St. icon, suddenly stopped and could not move forward a step. After earnest prayer in front of the holy icon, the prince received in a dream the command of the Mother of God to place Her icon in Vladimir. Calling this place "God-loving" because "God love this place", Prince Andrew created two stone churches here, in one of which the holy icon was placed, and later founded a convent and the city of Bogolyubov here.

In 1160, the holy icon was transferred to Vladimir in the newly rebuilt and richly decorated Vladimir Church, and from that time it began to be called "Vladimirskaya", continuously exacerbating its glory with new miracles. By prayer before this St. icon of the book. Andrey Bogolyubsky defeated the Volga Bulgarians. In 1173, after the assassination of Prince Andrei, when the people, incited by rulelessness and murderers, robbed the city of Bogolyubov and Vladimir, priest Nikolai, who arrived with the prince from Vyshgorod, in full vestments walked around the streets of the city with the Vladimir icon and the revolt subsided. In 1185 (April 13), during a fire that destroyed the Vladimir Cathedral with all its wealth, the Vladimir icon was preserved intact. In 1395, the miraculous Vladimir Icon was transferred to Moscow, where it has remained since that time.

The celebration in honor of the Vladimir Icon is held on June 23 (July 6) in thanksgiving for the deliverance of Moscow from the invasion of Khan Akhmat. In 1480, during the reign of Grand Duke John III Vasilievich (1462-1505), the Khan of the Golden Horde, Akhmat, with huge hordes approached the Ugra River, which is called the "belt of the Mother of God", guarding Moscow possessions.

The whole day the troops of the Khan and the Moscow prince stood against each other, without taking any decisive action - “standing on the Ugra”. All of Moscow prayed to its Intercessor, the Most Holy Theotokos, for the salvation of the Orthodox capital. Metropolitan Geronty (1473-1489) and the prince's confessor, Archbishop Vassian of Rostov, supported the Russian troops with prayer, blessing and advice. The Metropolitan wrote a conciliar letter to the prince, in which he urged him to courageously stand against the enemy, trusting in the help of the Mother of God.

The Most Holy Theotokos interceded for the Russian Land. The prince ordered his troops to retreat from the Ugra, wanting to wait for the Tatars to cross, but the enemies decided that the Russians were luring them into an ambush, and they also began to retreat, slowly at first, and at night they ran, driven by fear. In gratitude for the liberation of Russia from the Tatars, a holiday was established in honor of the Mother of God.

Having become famous for many miracles, the holy Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God acquired great glory in Russia. Many historical memories are associated with it. She was transferred from city to city, and these transfers mark the most important periods in the history of Russia: Kiev, Vladimir and Moscow. For several centuries, before this holy icon, the Russian people sent out their prayers to the Intercessor of the Christian clan, and the Most Holy Theotokos more than once, during the danger from enemy invasions, showed Her gracious help. Before this holy icon, many of the most important state acts of Russia were performed: the oath of allegiance to the Motherland, prayers before military campaigns, and when the Russian metropolitans were elected, “the lot of the elect were placed on a shroud in the icon case of the Vladimir icon - a symbol of the common hope that the Mother of God herself would indicate the person she liked”.

And today, remembering the miraculous deliverance from enemies in the 15th century, Orthodox Christians should have firm hope for the help of the Most Holy Theotokos, who never leaves in Her intercession those who diligently follow Her Son and our God - the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are many copies and copies of the Vladimir icon (Vladimir Oranskaya, Vladimir Rostov, Vladimir Krasnogorskaya, Vladimir Chuguevskaya and many others), all of them show miracles, signs and blessings poured out by the Mother of God on the Russian land.
