Saint Sergius. All teachings - life
Your life, hedgehogs in the world,
The image of the Former ... Jaco Sun, noticed.
(Canon for gaining relics, song 3)
According to the abundance and variety of iconographic stories, Rev. Sergius Radonezh has no equal among the saints glorified in the Russian Church. The earliest images of the presented appeared at the beginning of the XV century. From the pictures that came to our time, the ancient is obviously covering with the saints of the relevant reverend, dating back to twentieth years of the XV century. (Sergiev Posad Gosud. Historical and Art Museum-Reserve). Facial sewing quite accurately conveys the portrait features of the reverend; In any case, close to the time iconographic plots with Rev. This is a portrait similarity to a greater or lesser extent take into account. It should be noted that later (already the middle of the XV century) of the cover from the relics of Rev. Sergius impressions of portrait similarities are no longer left.
Reverend Sergius Soon after gaining the relics began to often portray in multifigure compositions among the most revered saints. The literary basis for the image of concrete events of the life of Reverend was his life, compiled in 1417-1418. His student's pupil is wisdom.
What events from the life of Rev. Sergius were reflected in the iconographic plots? Epiphanas wisdom, starting the lives of Rev. Sergius, says: I hope I hope on the merciful God and on the prayer of his aspirations, a reverend elder. Apparently, the most first plot learned in the iconography of Rev., was his prayer to the upcoming of the Holy Library Trinity:
From Mladgago age, Father Sergiye, Christ alone and the live footsteps followed, the world had avoided the world and reached the uncommon of the mind of the mind, the idea of \u200b\u200bnow daring Holy Trinity The prestigations, the southerly about all of us are mind (from the canon to gain the relics of Rev. Sergius).
The meeting of the Tretyakov Gallery stores the Novgorod icon of the first half of the XV century. - Our Lady on the throne with the sitting
The Boggladesman surrounded by the saints. On the top field depicted Rev. Sergius, but this is apparently later insertion. From precisely dated icons with the image of the Rev., the icon from the Trinity Cathedral (blown in 1942) of the Stefano-Makhrish monastery should be called. Now this icon of the first third of the XV century. In the meeting of the State Historical Museum. According to the composition, it is similar to the Novgorod: Our Lady is sitting on the throne with the Bog Mountain; Before it is depicted in the prayer of St. Sergius. Blessing St. Sergius Bog Mouden Christ almost definitely repeats the image on the Kemey icon of Rev. - Our Lady of Odigitria XIV century. (From the collection of Trinity-Sergiye Lavra).
Rev. Sergius was often depicted among the Palaeosny Saints on the icons of Our Lady: along with the Muslim Verine and other directions of God, he advocated before God, as they say in one of the prayers to him, for the whole of God for Russia. Rev. Sergius was honored by Novgorod and were often portrayed next to the "their" reverend Barlaam Khutynsky. Known images and on the salty icons, so-called. Novgorod "Tablets" from the Sofia Cathedral.
In the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery, there is an excerned from the Ilinsky Church of the suburban Kolomenskaya village Sanduri three-rolled fold - Our Lady Yaroslavl with chosen saints. On the left fold of the folding, among other holy, the Rev. Sergius and Metropolitan Peter are depicted; On another sash, Saint Alexy. This icon is the generic shrine of Sheremetev, written, apparently, in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Icon dates back to 1491. The prayer upcoming of the home of God, strictly speaking, cannot be tied to some particular moment - it was constant. At the same time, plots, well-defined in chronological terms appear rather quickly in the iconography of Rev. Sergius.
One of the earliest episodes of life, which became a favorite iconographic plot, is the phenomenon of St. Sergius of the Mother of God. Epiphany talks about how during the commission of the Cael, completing the singing of akathist God's MotherHe suddenly said to his student Mikhai: "Chado! Sober and awake, because now we will have a wonderful and unfaded visit. " He also said this, as the voice rang out: "the most competed", and the Holy hastily came out of Kelly in the aircraft. It was talked with a bright light, stronger than sunny, and blissful saw the most preching with two apostles, Peter and John, from which the ineveracted radiance also proceeded. The phenomenon of the Mother of God Reverend Sergia is known not only as a stigma of the living icon, but also as an independent iconographic plot from the first half of the XVI century: Our Lady with the staff, accompanied by the apostles Peter and John, stretches his hands to meet the Holy, who leans before her in prayer; Behind Rev. Sergius depicts him Cemen, Rev. Michea Radonezh.
Large living icons of Rev. Sergius appear in the second half of the XV century. The literary basis for them was a life written by epiphany to wisdom and in the middle of the XV century. Further recycled and supplemented with a fraud. Among the most famous - the icon of the beginning of the XVI century, the Circle of Dionysia, from the Assumption Cathedral of the city of Dmitrov; Now she is in the meeting of the museum. Rev. Andrei Rublev. Let's see how the life of Trinity Hegumen is represented.
The first stamp (left top) is the birth of the Bartholomew, then follow: "Excretion of a diploma" (an old man blesses the excuses of Bartholomew); Taking the saint to the monks by Igumen Mitrofan.
The next stamp is the expulsion of demons with the prayers of Rev.: Once the reverend Sergius went to the church on the prayer at night, and when he began singing, suddenly the wall of the Church was broken and a variety of demons was visible; They rushed to the blissful, crossed teeth and threatening to kill him. Rev., having hope for God, was worked with a zealous, with tears prayer against enemies; Soon, the divine force suddenly painted him and the breathtaking of the evil spirits.
Next are the plots of supplies of Sergius in Deacon, and then in the rhey, the bishop of Volyn Afanasiy, who lived then in the city of Pereyaslavl. The inscription on the unfolded scroll, which keeps over the glaze of the St. Bishops: Divine Grace, always weakly healing, and insufficient fully fit ...
The following plot is the reference of the source: assembled to the Rev. Inka taken towards the lack of water in the desert monastery. Sergius came out of the monastery, taking one of the monasters with him, and descended with him in the forest ravine under the monastery, where there was never a source of water. The reverend painted the glory sign of the place where the rainwater was stood, and suddenly from under the ground scored a complete source, which beats and so on and from which they take water for all monastery needs, thanks to God and his aspirations Sergius. From the water from this source there were numerous healing of patients suffering from different illnesses if the sicks came to a source with faith, they say in life.
The following stamps tell about the resurrection of the baby on the prayer of Rev. Sergius: The unfortunate father was in a hurry to convey his hard-sick-sick-son to Kelia Reverend and ask prayers about his healing, but did not have time - the son died. The father went after the coffin so that the Son would bury, but the Rev. Sergius had prayed over the dead, and the Lord returned the baby's infant.
The stamp "ministry of Divine Liturgy Reverend Sergey with an angel" illustrates the next story of life. One day, Rev. Sergius served as Liturgy with his native brother Stefan and nephew of the Bishop Feodor. Monks prayed in the temple, Isaacius, silence and Makaria was a vision in the altar of the fourth clergy - shining with extraordinary light in the glittering riza. Inaks realized that the Angel of God served the Holy Sergia.
The wonderful vision is associated with this plot, which had a student of Rev. Simon: When Saint Sergius served Liturgy, Simon saw the fire spilling through the Holy See. When the reverend was involved, the divine fire entered the holy Pathr.
The next stamp is the arrival of ambassadors from Constantinople Patriarch Philof. In the abode of St. Sergius from Constantinople, the Greeks arrived, the Patriarch envies; They gave gifts - Cross, Paraman, Schima - and a message with advice to arrange a hostel monastery in the monastery.
Next - stamps with wonderful healing. Stamp depicting the healing of Greek bishop who came to Moscow. The bishop I heard a lot about the Holy (Glory about Sergia reached Constantinople!), But I thought about myself like this: "Does such a lamp of faith in this country can appear, especially in our last time?" Approaching the monastery, he felt strong fear, and enjoying the monastery fence, land. Rev. Sergius healed the bishop, and he was prose.
On another brand - the healing of Zechariah Borozdin, Tver Boyarov, who gave the abode during illness to visit Sergiev Abodeh; The reverend appeared to him in a sleepy vision and healed; Recovered Zechariah with joy went to the monastery.
Another case of the wonderful help of Rev. Sergius is the healing of some kind of noble person, a cruelly tormented demon. The reverend served a prayer for the suffering, and he began to come to himself and, having stayed in the monastery for several days, went home completely healthy.
The end of the healing case depicted on the Dmitrov icon belongs to the posthumous wonders of Rev.: This is the return of vision of the blind man, given to the coffin of Rev. Sergius. The introduction of a recent layer remained in the abode by an officer.
Stamp with the image of the burial of St. Sergius: standing by the coffin angel holds a revealed book with the prayer of the sixth hour of St. Vasily of the Great "God and Lord of the Forces and All Creature ..."
At the living icons of the presented from the Trinity-Sergiye Lavra and the Moscow Kremlin, other than those listed plots are also presented:
"Decrace the elder to the parents with the parents," add-on to the plot "Recovery".
"Miracle about a certain farmer." A certain farmer-agriculture came to the monastery to see the Reverend. The peasant has never seen Sergius before and, having come to the insidency, began to search for him and could not believe that the reverend himself works in the bark in the garden, and turned away from him. At the same time, the prince arrived in the monastery and left the reverend of Sergia, thereby entered by the peasant.
The plot depicting the set of birds. One day, when the saint performed his prayer rule, he suddenly heard a voice: \\ "Sergius! \\" The Monk has opened the 11th of Kelia and saw many beautiful birds flying not only in the monastery. A voice was heard: \\ "Your students will also be numerous, and after you they do not care if they just want to follow your footsteps \\".
It is necessary to mention here and the famous icon of St. Alexy, Metropolitan of Moscow with a life written in the late XV - early XVI centuries. Dionisia for the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin (now in GTG). Two stamps associated with the relationship between the saint and St.Des deserve attention here. In the seventh brain, the saint Alexy asks Rev. Sergius to let his student of Andronika on Igumenty in the Spassky (now Savazo-Andronikov) Monastery, which SVT. Alexy founded in 1361 on the high bank of the Yauza River in Moscow. Before the seated saint, there is a reverend Sergius and accompanying him two trinity monks; Rev. Humban accepts the primacy blessing (Blessed did not reject the request of the saint and let go of Andronicus with him, says in life). At the thirteenth brand, Metropolitan Alexy, feeling the approach of his death, calls on Rev. Sergius to the primacy service. The reverend sits into the mantle on a wide sednamators opposite the saint Alexy, Metropolitan - on the Holy Throne; Between them, the kiivoriy is towers ... In the great humility, His Rev. Sergius did not accept proposals, and Metropolitan Alexy, comforting the reverend spiritual ignitions, let him go to his monastery. This plot is very precisely reproduced in miniatures of the facial lives of St. Sergius XVI century. (Russian State Library).
At the beginning of the XVI century. For the Cathedral of the Vysotsky Monastery in Serpukhov, a living icon of Reverend with eighteen stimuli was written; Now Icon is located in the Tretyakov Gallery.
Considering the plots depicted on the living icons of the Rev. Sergius of Radonezh, pay attention to their editivity; Each episode of the Life of the Great Hegumen of Saint Rus is not only historically accurate, but opens to the praying pretender to adopt it as a good example in his Christian life: the life of his own, hedgehogs in the world Sea, Rev. Sergiy is the image of everyone - including the current generation of Christians .
The influence of Rev. Sergius led to, among other things, a noticeable revival of the desire for monastic life: from 1240 to 1340 about 30 new monasteries originated, and in the next century, from 1340 to 1440 years old, the generation of the Culikov battle and his closest descendants were given to the world of founders 150 new monasteries. The direction of monastic life has changed. Until the middle of the XIV century, "almost all monasteries in Russia arose in cities or under their walls." Subsequently, the decisive numerical advantage takes monasteries that arose in distance from the cities, on the Non-Non-Flands, and the monastic struggle with spiritual shortcomings of a person connected with a new struggle - "With the inconveniences of outside nature", and "this second goal has become a new tool to achieve the first."
However, the flight of the monks from the temptations of the world has served him with urgent needs. Until the middle of the XIV century, the Russian population was locked in the oil between Oki and the Upper Volga - in a triangle, the exit from which Tatars and Lithuania were locked up, south and southeast. An open path to the north and northeast was led by the Volga, in a deaf impassable edge, in some places populated by the Finno-Ugric tribes. Share in these places Russian peasants were afraid. "Monk-deserted and went there with a bold scout."
New monasteries from the middle of the XIV century and until the end of the 15th century, in their most, the Volga arose, among the Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Vologda forests. The Russian monasticism has won the Finnish pagan voltage for the Christian Church and the Russian people. Numerous forest monasteries became the supporting points of the peasant colonization.
The first image of the saint, embroidered soon after his death, the Caela Icons of Rev. Sergius, the image of the "Hegumen of Russian" in the Spare Tower of the Kremlin and the ancient iconography of the "Vision of the Wartholomew", which we used to imagine on the picture Mikhail Nesterov - All this can be seen in the gallery icons.
. The seasy of the first quarter of the XV century is one of the earliest of the pictures of the saint. It is likely that he was executed for the acquisition of the relics of the Rev., which occurred in 1422 during the Igument of the PRP. Nikon Radonezhsky. Obviously, this image has a portrait similarity to a greater extent than all other images of the presented. There is nothing impossible in the fact that in his performance, somehow, people who personally knew the saint and remembered his appearance (the year of the presumption was presented. Sergius - 1392).
Rev. Sergius in the scenario of Our Lady with a baby, Archangel Gabriel. This icon of the first third of the XV century from the meeting of the state. The historical museum comes from the local series of the Trinity Cathedral of the Makhrish Monastery. There is a suggestion that this icon may be related to the basis of the reverend Sergey of the Blagoveshchensky Kirzhach monastery. (Being disgruntled caregivers and temporarily leaving the monastery, St. Sergius visited the monastery of Pre. Stefan Makhrishchsky, after which he founded the Blagoveshchensky Kirzhach monastery, where he lived for about four years). The image of the archangel of Gabriel on the icon in this case, as it were, reminds of the Blagoveshchensky dedication to the Kirzhach monastery.

Savior Smolensky with fallen St. Sergius Radonezh and Varlaam Khutynsky with Spasskaya (Frolovskaya) Tower of the Moscow Kremlin. Iconography dates back to the first third of the XVI century, when such an icon was posted on Frolovsky (now - Spasskaya) Tower of the Moscow Kremlin in 1524 in honor of the capture of Vasily III Smolensk in 1514. The selection of saints in the event was quite obvious, since prep. Varlaam was the most revered Saint Novgorod and the North-West of Russia, and pre. Sergius is the most revered holy Russia Moscow.
At the seven age, Bartholomew began to learn a diploma with his brothers. However, if the last study was made easily and they studied successfully, then the middle brother of the diploma was barely, despite the fact that the teacher worked for a long time with him. Wanting to correct the situation, Bartholomew prayed to God about the gift of "book intelligence" and help in studying. As the chronicle testifies, one day, when the boy passes the horses of his father, he saw a wanderer, an older-worker who performed a prayer, and asked him to pray for the success of his teachings. The elder prayed and blessed him. Since then, the tags began to manage to science. At the same time, he was indifferent to the pleasures of his youth, loved to read the sacred books and sought to all kind of kind.
At about 1328 - 1330. The parents of the future great devotee moved from Rostov to the village of Radonezh, located in 54 versts from Moscow. Before death, they accepted Schima in the Khotkovsky Monastery of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, not far from Radonja. Burrying the parents, Bartholomew left his inheritance inheritance to the younger brother Peter, and, together with the elder brother Stefan, retired for deserted into the forest, where they first put Kelia, and then a small church consecrated in the name of the Blessed Trinity. Soon Stephen, without preparing the difficulties of life in the wilderness, left his brother and moved to the Moscow Epiphany Monastery, where he became the abbot. And the Bartholomew stayed in 1337, at the age of 23, he accepted a cross in a monk with the name of Sergius. The posture was performed by Igumen Mitrofan on the day of St. Sergius and Vakha. It is under the name of Sergius, this Bartholomew when he is tested, he will become famous as a great wonderworker, a devotee and the Holy Rev. Hegumen of the Russian Earth.
For more than a year, the young devotee spent in full solitude, staying in underverttial prayer, overcoming the difficulties of monocities. His life consisted in prayers, post and severe work - spiritual and physical. Thus, improving in spiritual life, Sergius Radonezh has become known in time and other inquars - to recent hermits began to strive for advice and help other monks, and soon the brotherhood from the twelve inok was soon. The village was gradually created, where every hermit lived in his own cell, and together they were going only for worship. Thus was founded by the famous Trinity-Sergiyev Lavra. In 1354, Bishop of Volyn Athanasius dedicated to St. Ieromonach and erected in San Igumen.
Having accepted Igumen, Sergius Radonezh did not change anything in either in his contact with his brother, nor in his busy life, only accepted greater responsibility. Just as before, he performed all the work and served the brethren, and the clothes wore a simple, so it was difficult to distinguish who was the eldest of them and who is younger. Rev. From the very first days embodied in his covenant of the championship, specified by Christ: "Who wants to be the first to be between you, and there will be all the rug." Strictly carried out in the abode of the monastery. With an increase in the monastery grew and his needs. Often, the buildings fed a meager food, Rev. I thought: "Lyutes of grief, but sweet paradise; Painful works, but the eternal reward for them. " But in the hour of extreme needs, on the prayers of brethren, the abode of generous help suddenly served.

As life testifies, Rev. Sergius, Radonezh, was the miraculous at his earthly life:
"... The manthomolers came, saw the deserted poverty, but they saw piety and the world and grace among the brethren, and this Zakvaska fell fell in native families, like light as salt. And the name of God's name was nicely in Russia, and many went to him with faith. One village with faith was dangerous to the patient to the Baby to Rev., but he died, and the elder, praying, raised the deceased and gave him to the delightful father. Once, praying, the elder healed the hardly sick in the middle of the village, another time - the demonstrated one from the coast of the Volga, who was in the frenzy of the mind and bite and beat, silently with the inhuman power, so that his ten people could not keep ... ".
"... There was a lack of water, and the reverend with Inok went to the forest ravine and prayed ... and squeezed the place of his sign, and from under the ground there was a rich source of cold key water from the ground, and it flowed a quick stream along the valley. From this waters were healing, and there was enough water into abundance of everything ... "(the material is taken from the" Russian Saints "site).
In addition, according to life, an angel served during the commission of Liturgy, and once the Saint Sergius Radonezh was awarded the vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who appeared during the night prayer and said: "Do not be afraid, my chosen one. I came to visit you. Not grief, for your prayer for students and the abode is heard; From now on, your abode will have an abundance in everything; Not only with your life, but also at the collapse of yours to God. I will not leave this place and I will be uncooked to serve everything you need, save and cover it. " The memory of the phenomenon of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated Orthodox Church August 24 / September 6.
Saint Sergius Radonezh knew how to act "quiet and krobroy words" on the most cruel and coarse hearts and in this way often reconciled even the warring princes. Thanks to him, all the princes joined the Kulikov battle, recognizing the primacy of the Great Moskovsky Prince - Dimitri. Prince Dimitri and Rev. Sergius Radonezh, collecting together on the girl's field in Kolomna, Russian princes, who had recently recently became friends, understood that this battle would be a decisive step towards Russia's union. The victory on the Kulikov field was laid here - on the girl's field. The shelves were delivered here as the intention of the Grand Duke should have been on the field of Brahi. Each warrior found out his place and saw his leader. The Maiden Field is a field of reconciliation and association, it became a place "where the female froze" between Russian principalities. Here, Russian troops received a blessing from Rev. Sergius Radonezh to the forthcoming battle with the Tatar army.
To help the Great Prince, the reverend blessed the two inks of their abode: Schimonach Andrei (Oll) and Schimonakh Alexander (Perevalt), and predicted the victory by Prince Dimitray. The prophecy of Rev. Sergius Radonezh turned: September 8, 1380, on the Day of the holiday of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, Russian warriors won the Tatar Horde on the Kulikov field, putting the beginning of the liberation of Russian land from the Tatar yoke. From Kulikova, the fields returned with the victory already a single Russian people. During the battle, the Rev. Sergius Radonezh, together with Brothers, stood on prayer and asked God to give the victory to the Russian army.
Prince Dimitri Ioannovich deeply read his spiritual father - Rev. Sergius Radonezh, who was also the godfather of his sons. After the victory over the Tatars, Dmitry Ioannovich became referred to as "Donskoy", and he had a great respect for his spiritual father and invited him to bore a spiritual testament, according to which a new order of the Preconsession was established - from his father to her senior son. Before that, the throne inherited the elder in the family.

What a miracle happened
With the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh, many and many stories about the wonders who took place during the lifetime of the saint, and at all times after his rest.
In the city of Pokayev, a woman lived, who had no her bed, regards, because she, believing, led a strange life. It happened that the police (now the police) began to conduct a strict cleaning of the city from the beggars and lively without registration. Therefore, she went to Sergiev Posad, then he was called Zagorsk. But that year, though there was winter, the cholera epidemic began in Zagorsk, all the places of mass accumulation of the people were closed, the temples did not take the pilgrims for overnight, and she had nowhere to spend the same thing to spend the night, and anyone had no one. They somehow sniffed from a private house, but the nightly cold was unbearable, and they were warmly prayed, so that the Mother of God and the Holy Sergius helped them to live until the morning.
Suddenly, a suddenly appeared elder-monk approached them and invited them to Lavra and spend the night there in the refrapping temple. As soon as they approached the gate of the Lavra, they were quietly opened, as if themselves, and also quietly closed. Warming and thanks to the Lord, the wanderers entered the temple. The old man told them to be located for the night, but with the condition - not to talk among themselves. And left…
The next morning they found a monk-key and, having wrapped around, strictly asked how they came here against all instructions, because he was stuck from the evening a gate, and the keys were all the time with him. Then they told the monk the whole story, and then everyone understood who was the old man. Everyone fell on her knees and was together the grateful prayer of St. Sergius, the founder of the Trinity-Sergiye Lavra, for it was he himself in the appearance of the elder and did not die from the frost with a young people.
One woman told that she visited the Trinity-Sergiyev Lavra to visit - it was necessary to go to pray to Saint Sergia. There was money to the edge, and there was a choice in front of it: whether to buy a big candle and put the saint Sergia, or to buy a toy son, which she looked at the store. Thinking, she still decided to buy a candle. I bought, put it with a soul, full of peace, went home. And suddenly on the seat of the train, in which he drove, saw a new toy, exactly such a thing that saw in that store! With a toy in his hands, she bypassed the whole car, and no one admitted her thing. Then she understood with all his heart that it was a gift to her child by the will of St. Sergius of Radonezh, and with a relaxed soul brought a toy son ...

| Icon Rev. Sergius of Radonezh |
Diacon immediately moved to the hospital, where he was three days in an insensite state. And when he woke up, the following told his confessor. When he entered the altar, he saw an angel from the throne in a styard of 1, cocked by Orarara 2 and with a sword in his hands. The angel approached Joasuph, took off his stir and orap from him, hit the sword in his hands and said that she would prefer to deprive his life than the vestments, but he could not, because he was presented before God, whose prayers he could not give up ... He was removed here, and the deacon-drinker saw that he had a hot prayer for him to the throne, the reverend Surgeon himself ...
For about a year, Ierodiakon Joasaf lay in paralysis, tearfully dropping and praying for forgiveness. He knew the date of his death in advance, apparently, he was notified miraculously, because she immediately asked her daughter who was about him all the time, to carry him into funeral clothes. In full memory, he met the holy gifts and, turning to someone invisible, happily and quietly said: "They came" and with the same way.
Meaning icon
On the icon of St. Saint Sergius of the Radonezh Wonderworker, we see an elder with a narrow, strict face, his right hand is raised in a gesture of blessings, in the left - scroll as a symbol of perfection in knowledge. Since the reverend Sergius on the girl's field under the ancient near Moscow Kolomna blessed the holy prince Dmitry Donskoy on the battle on the field of Kulikov, to his miraculous icons Many and many are flowing.
The icon of St. Sergius is written by the icon painter Yuri Kuznetsov in bright and clean tones, and they soften the canonical severity of the face ... From the image of a holy elder, itifies wisdom, rigor and kindness. This icon is often made to the house where there are small children, and on the prayers of the parents in front of her Holy Sergius, the wonderworker prizes them - for their studies, obedience to the elders, helps to enjoy the naughty, especially adolescents in transition.
Already with adolescence, people begin to fall into the sin of pride. But, looking at the icon, reading the story of unique, full spiritual feats and the sainted human life And comparing his life with this sample, every believer or just interested person will involuntarily think about what it would be worth changing in his relationship with loved ones and with God. With loved ones - with their households, friends, colleagues - maybe it is worth becoming alert and attentive. With God - more often to turn his heart to him and ask about the intercession in front of him the Mother of God and His saints, and certainly - in the holy miracle of the land of the Russian St. Sergius of Radonezh. Holy Sergius did not leave any lines after himself, he avoided direct school all his life. As we remember, he did not immediately accepted into the cell and Rev. Nikon, considering it rather the younger brother and an assistant than the student. His life is the teaching of the mobility, the acts of good for the benefit of God, the Church, strengthening the monasses in Russia and simply - a sample of selfless service to people given to us to learn.

Parents of Bartholomew - Boyar Kirill and Maria Ivanchini - Purchased by people simple, despite their wealth and noblence. Very often the wanderers and beggars stopped in their house. Then there was a conversation about God, faith, about the fact that an interesting thing happened in the world.
Sv. PRP. Cyril and Maria. Painting of the Ascension Temple on the town (Pavlov-Posad)
Bartholomew was a gentle, gentle and shy child. He was not at all a diploma, and this circumstance was the cause of ridicule from other children. In such cases, Bartholomew went to the side and could not object to anything.
In the evenings in their family, it was customary to read the Holy Scriptures, they did it all in turn, except for the Bartholomew. And once they have stopped for the night passed by the village of Monk. In the evening, as usual, after dinner, the whole family gathered in a big hall and began to read the Gospel of John. After reading a bit, the children were transferred to each other while the turn did not reach the Bartholomew. "And what don't you read?" - asked the monk of the child. "I do not know how," the boy replied timko. "You will read. Take a book in hand! " The monk filed an embarrassing Bartholomew book and put his hand on the head of the child.
Fullies of warfolomes and a monk. Nesterov M.V.
Because of the raids of the Tatars and internecine wars, the father of Bartholomew, along with the family moved to village Radonezhskoye In seventy versts from Moscow. It happened in 1330. Parents and brother Bartholomew Stepan became monks in Khotkovsky monastery .
Khotkovsky female monastery
The very same warfolomew life in the monastery seemed too vigor, so he persuaded his brother to leave together in the deaf thicket and there to create a monastery in 1337
At the place of the future Trinity-Sergius Lavra, they built a chapel and celia and began to live in complete loneliness. Without withstanding too severe and ascetic lifestyle, Stephen soon left the Moscow Epiphany Monastery, where he later became igumen. Bartholomew, remaining in complete loneliness, called on a certain Ighumen Mitrofan and took the victim from him under the name of Sergius, since the memory of martyrs was celebrated on that day: Sergius and Vakha.
Having committed a rite of tensions, Mitrofan joined Sergius St. Secrets. Sergius seven days did not leaving him in the Church, prayed, did not "taste" anything, except for the prosphora, which Mitrofan gave. And when the time came, Mitrofan leave, asked his blessings to life deserted.
Hegumen supported him and reassured how much he could. And the young monk one stayed among the gloomy their forests.
Life alone satisfied him, he read a lot and prayed. Yes, Sergius and did not feel lonely, the forest world was full of life - there the squirrel jumped out of the branch on the branch, there the hare went down to hunt for a mouse, and after him ran the fox, hundreds of birds twitched from the morning until late evening for different voices. Sergius based birds and two squirrels, and they completely stopped afraid of man, began to take food straight from his hands.
Not far from his cell was a whole plantation with a forest berry, young ink collected a berry, kept her for a long cold winter. Once, having heard a noise, looking at the opposite side of the glade, seeing Sergius among the wild bear bushes.
Youth of Rev. Sergius. Nesterov M.V.
Neither a man nor the animal was in a hurry to throw their lesson. The beast occasionally rose to the hind legs, as if listening, but did not leave.
The next day, the same thing happened, and another day a bear, when Sergius went home, walked after a man, holding him away from him at a short distance. And now, wherever Sergius go, he walked for him, as if guarding.
For about three years, Sergius lived alone. But however, no loners were reverend at this time, rumors about his deserted walked. And here they began to appear, asking for to take to themselves, to escape together. Sergius discouraged. Pointed to the difficulty of life, on deprivation, with it related. The example of Stephen was still alive for him. Still - gave way. And accepted several ... and soon there were twelve people.
Built twelve koles. Obtained a tone to protect against animals. Celi stood under huge pines, firings. Stunched stumps just cutted trees. Between them bred his brachia her humble garden. They live quietly and severely.
The territory of the monastery was divided into three parts - residential, social and defensive.
Sergius filed an example. Keels himself, buried the logs, wrapped the water in two waterproofs to the mountain, Molovye handle millstones, a pitch of bread, cooked food, crown and sewed clothes. And probably, it was now excellent. In the summer and winter went in the same clothes, nor frost took him nor angry. Bodyly, despite the scant food, was very strong, "there was a power of two people."
Was the first and services.
Proceedings of Rev. Sergius. Nesterov M.V.
The igumen of the monastery was at first there was Igumen Mitrofan, having tonsured Sergius to the monks. After the death of Mitrofan, Iguumers wished the monastery of Brathy so that Sergius became Igumen. And he refused.
"The desire of igumenia," said, - there is the beginning and the root of the power.
But the brotherhood insisted. Several times "proceeded" to him the elders, persuaded, convinced. Sergius after all founded the desert, he himself built a church; To whom to be igumen, to make a liturgy.
The insistence passed almost in the threat: Brathy stated that, if there is no igumen, everything will be dispersed. Then Sergius, conducting the usual sense of measure, gave way, but also relatively.
- I wish, - said, - It is better to learn, rather than learning; It is better to obey, rather than boss; But I'm afraid of the court of God; I do not know anything to God; Holy Will of the Lord will be!
And he decided not to stop - transfer the case at the discretion of the church power.
Metropolitan Alexy at that time was not in Moscow. Sergius with two oldest brethren went on foot to his deputy, bishop Athanasia, in Pereslavl-Zalessky.
Sergius returned, with a clear instruction from the church - to raise, lead the deserted family. He did it. But his own life, in needle, did not change anything: the candles rolled himself, Cookied Kutu, prepared prosphoras, swore wheat for them.
In 1344, the thirty-year-old Sergius received San Iguman.
In 1355, a new, hostel charter was introduced in the monastery.
He did not cease to worked - he wore water from the spring, Colop Firewood for all monks, Pailed "like a slave bought." At the same time, it was fed only by bread and water, and had the strength for two.
When there was no meal at all, Sergius, taking the ax, she walked and worked in a nearby village - someone built Song, someone's home, often for his work was a piece of bread.
This showed an example of tolerance and obedience. Sergiy forbade his monks to ask for alms in the neighboring villages, believing that it was better to earn money than to ask.
The water had to go far, and the way back was uphill, it took a lot of time and strength. And here Sergius noticed that after the rain in one place, the water did not dry for a long time, he prayed, picked up in his hands and hit several times in this place. From the Earth scored a source with holy water, which is also valid to today.
By the way, water in this source has a completely different taste, depending on when you type it. If you scored it before sunrise, she is sweet, after sunset - with mustard, and during the day it does not look like anyone or another. And the taste does not change, no matter how much water is, it does not matter where it stands in which dishes.
In the fifties, Archimandrite Simon came to him Smolensk regionWhen he having heard about his holy life. Simon - the first brought to the monastery and means. They allowed to build a new, more extensive church of St. Trinity.
Since then, the number of novices will grow. Kelia began to put in some order. Sergius's activities have won. Sergius did not immediately. I observed, I studied the very spiritual development of the arrived.
Despite the construction of a new church, an increase in the number of monks, the monastery is all strict and poor. Everyone exists own forces, There is no common meal, pantry, barn. It was necessary that in his Cheels Inok spends time or for prayer, or for thinking about his sins, checking behavior, or for reading St. Books, rewriting them, icon painting - but not in conversations.
Sergiev Abodeh continued to be the poorest. Often lacked and necessary: \u200b\u200bWines for the commitment of liturgy, wax for candles, oil lamps ... Liturgy was sometimes postponed. Instead of candles - Luchin. Often there was no handful of flour, nor bread, nor salt, not to mention the seasonings - oil, etc.
In one of the attacks in the abode there were dissatisfied. We walked two days - snapped.
"That's," said St. Inok from the face of everyone, "we looked at you and listened, and now you have to die with hunger, because you forbid us to go into the world to ask alms. We will not be afraid of a day, and tomorrow we will leave everything from here and no longer refund: we are no power to make such a poverty, such rotten breads.
Sergius turned to the brethren with the guarantee. But he did not have time to cum him, as the knock was heard in the monastery gate; The gatekeeper saw in the window that they brought a lot of bread. He himself was very hungry, but still ran to Sergia.
- Father, brought many breads, to accept. Here, according to your holy prayers, they at the gate.
Sergius blessed, and several carts loaded with baked bread, fishes and varying scenes drove into the monastic gate. Sergius was pleased, said:
- Well, you are accurate, tilt our feeders, call them to divide the common meal with us.
I ordered to hit the beat, everyone to go to the church, serve thank thank youth. And only after the prayer was blessed to sit behind the meal. Breads were warm, soft, just just from the stove.

Soon in the monastery settled the blind monk, and Sergius began to treat it with water from the source and prayer. Monk seemed !!! And the fame of wonderful healing was ruled far beyond the limits of nearby villages.
From everywhere they reached for Sergia in need of help, and he began to study people from a variety of diseases. One day, a lifeless boy was brought to him, the parents distrailed from grief asked to return their son. Sergius was able to help the child, which fell from a high temperature to whom and fell asleep with lethargic sleep.
Sergius sewed a robe of simple fabric and went in it until the fabric turned into rags, feeding an example of modesty. Other monks wore clothes much richer than their igumeman, and for this, many pilgrims did not recognize Sergius for the main thing.
Bishop Constantinople - Greek - did not believe that in Russia there may be such holy people. He decided to make sure that it was.
But the bishop chose the path of deception - which Saint Sergius did not like. Greek changed his accompanying clothes to his own clothing, thereby deciding to check Sergius, who not only treated people, but could read the thoughts of human and foresee the future.
When the retinue began to approach the Sergiev monastery, the eyes of the bishop unexpectedly began to get out and terribly burning, the last meters of the way were terribly painful. Sergius immediately found out about the substitution and pointed it to this bishop. The patron of the saint removed the pain in the arrived guest, and he was able to open his eyes.
One rich took a pork carcass from the poor man. On the persuasion of Sergius to return the carcass back he answered with refusal. And when in the morning, the rich was looking at this carcass, he saw her worms eat her, although a strong frost was standing on the street and the carcass was all intimidated.
Rev. Wanted a more strict order approaching the first christmas community. All are equal and all the poor are equally. No one has anything. The monastery lives a community.
Activities Sergius innovation expanded and complicated. It was necessary to build new buildings - the refectory, bakery, storerooms, barns, to keep the economy, etc. Formerly, his leadership was only spiritual - the Inka went to him as a confessor, to confession, support and instruction.
All capable of work should have worked. Private property is strictly prohibited.
To manage a complicated community, Sergius chose assistants and distributed duties between them. The first person after Iguman was considered a kel. This position was first established in Russian monasteries. Feodosia Pechersk. The keeper headed the treasury, puments and farm - not only inside the monastery. When arrived, he behaved and their lives. Rules and court cases.
Already in Sergia, apparently, there was a private bias - there are arable fields around the monastery, they are part of the monks, part of the hired peasants, part of those who want to work on the monastery. So the kelary worries a lot.
One of the first laurel keligars was, later Igumen.
Rev. Savva Storozhevsky
In the confunists appointed the most experienced in spiritual life. He is a brethren confessor. Savva Storozhevsky, the founder of the monastery under Zvenigorod, was from the first artists. Later this position received epiphanies, Biographer Sergius.
For the order in the church was observed ecclesiah. Smaller positions: Paraexiah - kept church clean, canonarch - the "pollosy obedience" conducted and kept the liturgical books.
So lived and worked in the monastery of Sergius, now already glorified, with roads laid to him, where it was possible and stayed, and staying for some time - if people, or princes.
According to the chronicle sources of Trinity-Sergiye Lavra in 1358, the Rev. Sergius Radonezhsky left the Trinity Monastery for a while and went on the road in search of a place to build a new monastery. In he met with Hegumen Stefan and took himself in the satellites of the monk Simon. After many wanderings, the travelers stopped at the left high shores of the Kirzhach river.
After some time, Sergius came to the new place of stay. Brothers were built by Celi and the Wooden Church in honor of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Having lived in the monastery in Kirzchech for four years, Sergius Radonezh returned to the Trinity Monastery, leaving the abbot of his student of Rev. Hieromonach Roman, who was engaged in the improvement of the Kirzhach monastery to death - until 1392. Roman Kirzhachsky Filmed by the Church to the Famine of Saints, is considered the first igumen of the monastery.
The monastery, originally existed as a male, was managed by the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. In the XVI century, a stone temple was built on the site of the Wooden Annunciation Church, as well as the refectory church, consecrated in honor of Sergius Radonezh.
Blagoveshchensky Cathedral in Kirzchach
In 1656, for the altar of the Blagoveshchensk Church, Boyarin Ivan Andreevich Miloslavsky over the graves of his parents built the Spare Church with the bell tower. Subsequently, this place was the family tomb of Miloslavsky. Archival documents suggest that the monastery was surrounded by a stone fence in the Middle Ages, behind which the chapel of the well died from Sergius Radonezh from the northern side was surrounded.
See Holy Blagoveshchensky Kirzhachsky Women's Monastery.
Sergius constantly myrlen with each other of Russian princes, which were conducted by internecine wars.
On August 18, 1380, Dimitri Donskoy, with Prince, Serpukhov, Vladimir, the princes of other areas and voivpets came to Lavra.
Began prayer. During the service, henger arrived - the war and in Lavra went, "the enemy was reported, they warned to hurry. Sergius has contacted Dimitria to stay to the meal. Here he told him:
- It's not enough time to wear a crown of victory with eternal sleep; But many, no number, your wreaths of martyrish wreath on your employees.
After the meal, the reverend blessed the prince and the whole retire, sprinkled St. water.
- Go, do not be afraid. God will help you.
And, leaning, he whispered in his ear: "You will win."
There is a great one, with a tragic tint - in the fact that the assistants of the prince of Sergius gave two Skimnikov monks: the reboot and dock. The warriors were in peace and the Tatars went without helmets, shells - in the form of shhima, with white crosses on monastic clothes. Obviously, it was attached to the tack of Dimitri's sacred crusadic appearance.
The 20th Dimitri was already in Kolomna. On the 26-27, the Russians switched to OKU, Ryazan earth fell to Don. September 6th reached it. And they swapped. Will Tatars wait for?
Seniors, experienced governments offered: to wait here. Mamay Silen, with him and Lithuania, and Prince Oleg Ryazan. Dimitri, contrary to the tips, switched through Don. Back the way was cut off, it means that everything forward, victory or death.
Sergius these days were also in the rise of the highest. And in time he sent a diploma to the prince: "Go, Mr., go ahead, God and St. Trinity will help!"
September 8, 1380!
According to legend, Peresvet, long ago ready for death, and, clutching with his mother-in-law, hitting him, fell. The common battle began, on a giant at the time of the front at ten miles. Sergius said correctly: "Many martyr wreaths wreath." They were woven a lot.
The Rev. in this watch prayed with brother in his church. He spoke about the progress. Called the fallen and read the funeral prayers. And at the end said: "We won."
After this victory, Sergius Radonezh began to be considered a patron saint of the Russian man.
September 25, 1392, at the seventy-eighth year of life, Saint Sergius Radonezh departed to the world of others.

Having received a label at 1432 in the Horde, Prince Vasily II came to the Bogomol "To Trinity", thereby putting the beginning of the tradition of "Summary Bogomoli". Since then, everything to the united Russian vencers prayed to the cancelors of St. Sergius on the well-being of the Fatherland entrusted to them.
Rev. Sergius Radonezh lived to deep old age. For six months before the death, anticipating the defender, Holy Igumen instructed the abode of the management of his student of Nikon, and he himself was betrayed perfect silence. In September 1392, he ill was ill, called on the brotherhood and commanded them to love each other Nelitaryingly, to keep binding, purity of spiritual and bodily, to learn humility. Before the conching itself, on September 25, the Monk met and betrayed his soul to the Lord. Immediately, the celia was filled with adultery, and the Lick of the God-Friend Elder was a wondrous light.
Wostering students buried the righteous in the Trinity Church. Hegumen the monastery was the reverend Nikon Radonezh - "The perfect student of a perfect teacher." With it, the monastery, burned in a bit of the invasion, was literally revived from the ash. September 25, 1412, on the day of memory of Rev. Sergius, a wooden Trinity Cathedral was consecrated. Ten years later, July 5, 1422, with the digging of the RVs under the foundation of the new Stone Cathedral, the holy relics of St. Sergius were acquired. When the coffin was opened, the fragrance was spread around and everyone saw that the removal did not affect not only the bodies, but also the vestments of the presence. Holy relics laid in cancer and put in the Trinity Temple.
At the scene of the Reverend, skilled architects built a beautiful white-stone Trinity Cathedral, for the painting of which Daniel Black and Andrei Rublev was caused from Savier Andronikov Monastery. Rublev wrote here his famous temple image of the Holy Trinity - one of the most revered in Russia miraculous icons.
After consecration of the new Trinity Cathedral, the holy relics of the organizer of the monastery were transferred there. The fame of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery attracted powerful pilgrims and benefactors. Half-a century after the death of Sergius, and the insidual has already become the main shrine of the Moscow Principality.
In 1737, Empress Anna Ioannovna arranged a magnificent silver model over four pillars to which more than 25 silver pounds went.

Cathedral of Radonezh saints
The history of the Cathedral of the Radonezh Saints goes back to the Ser. XVII century It was at that time that the first lists of students of St. Sergius of Radonezh were restored, "Canon Prayer, the Reverend and the gloomy father of our igumen, and his student, Nikona, the Wonderworkers, was printed.
