The Holy Scriptures call them so because God is often through them to tell people their will. The "arch" prefix to some angels indicates their more sublime ministry relatively to other angels.
The icon of Archangel Mikhail is in the Cross-Cathedral and the Church of St. ap. and gangs. John the Bogoslov.
On September 19, I remember the miracle committed by the Holy Archrest Mikhail in Honhekh.

This church was built with the zeal of one of the residents of the city of Laodicia in gratitude to God and the Holy ArchReart Mikhail for healing his mute daughter of the water of the source.

But the saints Joachim and Anna did not lose hope for the mercy of God, believing that the Lord can give them a child and in old age. They warmly prayed to God and with tears asked him to give them the child, which they promised to devote to the ministry to him in the Jerusalem temple.
The Lord fulfilled their petition: Blagovetand Taine God's Archangel Gabriel brought Joachim and Anna joyful news that their prayers are heard and they will have a daughter of Maria, through which the world will be given to salvation.

SEPTEMBER 27 - Exaltation of the honest and life-giving Cross of the Lord.
This is a great celebration holiday, the joy of gaining the life-giving Tree of the Lord. On this day, the Orthodox Church invites believers to pay a reverent worship of an honest and life-giving cross, on which our Lord and the Savior suffered the greatest suffering for our salvation. Believers should perceive this holiday, of course, not only as a memory of the greatest historical event that had more than one and a half thousand years ago, but as a phenomenon of commercial in relation to each Christian and in general to all mankind.
The phenomenon of the cross is, first of all, the victory of goodness over evil, the conquest of sin, this is a source of love, because through the free sufferings of the Savior on the cross, through the Allworn Sunday from the dead, the doors of the paradise and new life are open from the dead. Cross - the stronghold of the saints, the light of the whole universe. As in the house, with an embrace of darkness, someone lit a lamp and, putting it on the bid, drives darkness and Christ in the Universe, lined with a darkness, watering the cross as some lamp, lifting it high, scattered darkness on Earth.
We have holy and reverently to read and read the cross of Christ. From early childhood and until the death of every Christian wears a cross as a sign of Christ victory and our protection and strength. Every business we begin and end with the godman, doing everything in the glory of Christ. We are baptized food, dwellings, planes, ships and buildings, land and Niva. Priests cross suitable for blessing; Mother baptizes, riding a child, son walking on a broken; Parents - female children. Returning to sleep, an Orthodox Christian baptizes Ore his own, uttering prayer: "God will resurrect, and the gazes are harvested." So, in Christ and with a cross, the priests arranged, shrines are based in the church. It is established in the fear of God personal, family and social life of believers.
However, today's holiday has also deepest significance in the fate of the whole world. The cross is directly related to the Second Coming of the Savior, for for the difficult Word of Christ, the terrible court will be presented by the phenomenon of the sign of the Cross of the Lord: " Then there will be a sign of the son of man in the sky; and then all the tribes of the earthly will be ignited, and they will see the Son of Humancago, the dignity on the clouds of heaven with power and Greyvoy "(Mattp.24, 30)". It will be a "second" erection of the Cross of the Lord, why today's holiday should call us for great responsibility, to the deepest reflections.

September 24(September 11 at the old style - the church Julian calendar). 16th week in Pentecost (sixteenth Sunday Day, because it is Sunday in Church Slavonic who is referred to as a week, after the Holy Trinity Holiday, Pentecost). No post. Today in the Russian Orthodox Church there is a memory of 15 well-known names of the Rogue and one honorable shrine. Next, briefly tell about them.

Rev. Feodora Alexandria. An example of this saint V. century from christmas christ, like a feat rev. Maria Egyptian, committed several decades later, clearly demonstrates the power of sincere repentance.

In the youth of Theodore, the spouse of one noble Christian, was seduced and fell into the sin of adultery. Soon she realized the severity of her sin, left the house, changing the man. The future holy enrolled in the male monastery, where he began to commit the heaviest obedience, staying in the unceasing repeated prayer.

One day, the Holy Feodoro, whom everyone was considered by the monk Feodor, slandered. One girl, who entered into a prodigal relationship and gave birth, was dissolved by a hearing, as if this child was not from anyone, namely from the Theodore itself. She conquered this, took the baby and left him from the monastery, accepting this exile as a punishment for his old sin. Only after seven years she was taken with a matured trap back to the monastery.

The Lord bestowed the presence of Mother Feodore is not only forgiveness, but also the gift of the wirals. So, according to her prayers during the drought in a long cycle, water appeared. For several years, the St. Staritsa lived in the monastery, and only after her blessed death, Igumen and monks discovered that it was a woman in a male image. With tears, they asked for forgiveness from the Holy Feodora. And when her former spouse learned about it, he himself accepted herself in this monastery. And many years later, her abbot became educated by Rev. Theodorette.

Rev. Siluan Athos. For a thousand years, many Russian monks have failed on the Holy Mount Athos. The last Russian elder with Athos, ranked in the saints, became the Rev. Silhon, born on Tambovshchina in 1866.

In his youth, the future old man was a simple peasant Semyon Antonov. He was endowed with an incomplete force and often did not know where to choose her: I drank wine and fought. But one day, this unbridled, daring guy dreamed, as if he was filled with a snake in his mouth. Suddenly he heard: "You swallowed the snake in a dream and disgusting you. So I'm not good to watch what you are doing." And I understood Semyon that it was the voice of the Virgin. Since then, the young man has strengthened in solving to go to the monastery, and in the end in 1892. The Lord led him to the Holy Mountain of Athos.

In Athos, Father Siluan lived most of his life - 46 years old from 72. In the temple at the mill, where the saint carried his first obedience, there was something that shocked to the depths of the soul of another young ink. In the church of the Prophet Ilya to the right from the royal gates, he was near the icons of the Savior, he saw Live Christ. Then, all the creature was filled with fire of grace of the Holy Spirit, he received the gift from the Lord the Great Love to all people. And the entire future life of Siluan was devoted to the struggle for storing the grace received.

As part of a brief material, it is very difficult to tell about spiritual expansions and instructions of this great saint, and therefore we recommend reading its extensive lives, as well as the book of Sakharchimandrite Sofronia (Sakharov) "Elder Siluan".

Holy Martyrs Dimitri, his wife Evanfia and Dimitrian, Son of them. Saint Dimitri was a noble kind and in I. century From the Nativity of Christ was the ruler of the city of Sepsy in the area of \u200b\u200bGellespont.

once holy Cornilius Sotnika, former pagan addressed to Christ himself petromer's first apostle, came to s availaging from the sermon of the Word of God. The pagans grabbed the preacher and led to Dimitrius, who tried to force the saint to renounce Christ and even exposed him to torture.

Holy Cornilius resistant tortured, and then one power of prayer crushed the pagan idols. After that, Dimitri believed in Christ and even with his whole family accepted Holy Baptism. For this, angry pagans threw their former ruler to the dungeon, where they worry all three sufferers hunger.

Martyr Iya. This holy sufferer for Christ and his church, among 9 thousand Christians, was captive by the Persian king Sapar II. In the city of Vizad, the local Major Volkhv tried to force her to renounce the Christian faith, but even under torture she did not betray Christ. St. Ja, which, according to some information, was a significant Roman, and possibly the nun, beheaded about 362-364 From the Nativity of Christ.

Rev. Evphrosin Palestinian. Saint IX century From the Nativity of Christ, a fairly involved glorification in the face of saints for her meekness and obedience. The Lord himself still has opened one priest in the vision of the holiness of this modest monk. Having learned about this, he left the monastery and completed his earthly days in herchloride privacy.

Martyrs Diiodor and Didim Laodician (Sirsky). About these holy sufferers know a bit. We only know that they preached the Word of God to Gentiles, many of which were baptized. The Laodician ruler gave an order to grab them and torture, after which the martyrs died.

Sacred Martyrs Nikolai Pivakov and Victor, Presbytera (1918), Karp Elb, Presbyter (1937), and Nikolai Shirogorov, Deacon (1942). Orthodox priests who took the martyrdom on this day in different years of the epoch of Soviet gogarological persecutions and glorified in the face of the saints in the thousands of naughty sites of new homeworgles and the confessors of the Russian church.

Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, referred to as Kaplowan. This miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was appeared in 1689 In the village of Kaplunovka Kharkov Diocese. It was he who prayed the king Peter I on the eve of the Poltava battle 1709which the Russian troops won the prayers of the Mother of God.

Congratulations to all Orthodox Christians on the day of this shrine and all today's saints! By their own prayers, Lord, save and nice all of us! The same, who in the sacrament of Holy Baptism or Monastic Tasting got the names in their honor, glad to congratulate with the names! As they talked to Russia in the old days: "Guardians' angels - a crown pot, and you - good health!"

The semist of the 18th Pentecost (EY. Reading the 11th, Matheheva, the saddimians because of the Vozdvizhenian retreat).

Tropar and Kondak Christmas Blessed Virgin Mary (see September 8/21) Tropear Rev. Siluan Athossky, voice 2: Seraphimskiy Luke to the Lord is slammed with Zeper / and Jeremiah, about the people of crying, / a diligent subpressure, / all-widely silhouan, / you bo, call Mother of the Lord's forces, / Zmiya Sinrevnago masteryly disgregated ESI / and in Mount Athos from the bustle of the world / Idle in labor and prayers with tears / grace of the Holy Spirit abundantly tightening, / Eating the hearts of our ignorance / and with you, we have to seek up: / My Lord, my life and joy is saint, // Save the world and us from anyoneous. Kondak Rev. Siluan Athos, voice 2: Complete confession predicted / and humans Holy Holy Spirit warmed by kindness, / God beloved Siluanian, / About the fool of your Church Russian rejoices, / Inotica of the same mountains of Afonovy and WSI Christian people, / having fun, sown love to God rushed. / Eagle moths about us, equivalence The born, // in the hedgehog to be saved to us, in the burning of LUVE to you imitating. Tropear and Kondak Rev. Sergius and German Valaam (see June 28 / July 11)

The revelation, given to us by the Lord and the Savior, really turned the human story. Any religion that was before Christianity assumed that a person saves the scrupulous execution of external regulations. Thus, religion turned into a kind of magic: people seemed to make it easy to produce this or that sacred effect to automatically get salvation. In such an approach, the most important thing was lost - the internal content of religion, that is, faith. Lord Jesus Christ with his coming to the world updated the very concept of religious life. He taught us the fact that the genuine faith where a person feels in his life of God. Prayer where there is sincere confidence that God hears. A religious lifestyle where the life of a person is arranged in accordance with faith. We save faith that attracts the power of Divine Grace.

Rev. Feodora Alexandrian (474-491).

Rev. Feodora Alexandrian and her husband lived in Alexandria. In their family, love and consent reigned, and it was hated by the enemy of salvation. Intended by Dilolo, one rich man was delighted by the beauty of the young aeodora and began to decline it to adultery with all ways, but for a long time he did not succeed. Then he bribed the woman to a pioneer, who misled the gullible to theodore, saying that the sin committed at night, God does not impose in the guilt. Theodore changed her husband, but soon came to his senses and, realizing the vacityage of the fall, hated herself, mercilessly beat himself along the face and rushed his hair on his head. The conscience did not give her peace, and Theodore went to a familiar igumenia and told about the committed crime.
Igifications, seeing the despair of a young woman, opened faith in her in Divine forgiveness and reminded the gospel affair about the sinner. I smeared the tears of the legs of Christ and the forgiveness of his sins from him. In the hope of the mercy of God, the Feodor was said: "I think to God and from now on I will not commit such a sin, and I will try to change the sodden." At the same moment, the Rev.

Hegumen The monastery did not bless it even into the courtyard, experiencing the hardness of the aliel.
Rev. Theodore remained spending the night at the gate. In the morning, she, having fallen to the legs of Hegumen, called Feodor from Alexandria and asked to leave her in the monastery for repentance and inherent feats. Seeing the philantal intention of the aliel, Igumen agreed.
Even experienced Inaks were surprised at all-sleeping crankshaded prayers, humility, patience and selflessness of the Feodor. Holy launched in the monastery for eight years. Her body, once deserved adultery, has become a visible vessel of the grace of God and the spacious spirit of the Holy Spirit. Once the saint was sent to Alexandria to buy bread. Blessed her on the road, Igumen punished, in case of delay in the way, to stay in the neighboring, Enat Monastery. The hotel of the Yenat Monastery lived the then daughter of Hegumen, who came to visit the Father. The beauty of the young inague is elegated by the beauty of the Geodorus to the sin of love, not knowing that there was a woman in front of her. Hearing the refusal, she made sin with another guest and wounded. Reverend, having bought bread, returned to his abode. After some time, the father of a shameless maiden, noticing the perfect crime, began to get off the daughter who seduced her. The girl pointed to the aeodora-monk.
Father immediately informed the abbot of the monastery, in which the Rev. Feodor was pretended.
Hegumen called on Feodor and told him about the accusation. Inok firmly replied: "God witness, I did not do that," and the igumen, knowing the purity and holiness of the life of the Feodor, did not believe slander. When Life Born, the Enatian monks brought a baby to the monastery, where the mobility lived, and began to root the ink in the unclean life. This time, Igumen believed slander and angry at the innocent feodor. The infant was presented by Rev. and with dishonor kicked her out of the monastery.
Theodora humbly submitted a new test, seeing the redemption of former sin in it. She settled with a child near the monastery in the slash. Shepherds made of pity allowed milk for a baby, and the reverend itself was fed only by wild herbs. For seven years, carrying adversity, the Holy Moving was in exile.
Finally, at the request of the Inok, Igumen allowed her to return to the monastery with the baby, where she lived in a gate, looking for a child in fear of God. Hegumen the monastery received a revelation from God that the sin of Inok Feodor is forgiven. The grace of God dwells on Inok Feodore, and soon all the monks witnessed the signs who made the prayers of the foggy.
Once in the location during drought, all water sources were dry. Igumen said the brethren that only Feodor can disaster. Calling Rev., Igumen ordered her to bring water from a dried well. By the blessing of Hegumen, the Rev. Theodore brought water, after which the water in the well no longer swam. The humble feodorus said that the miracle was made on prayer and faith of their igumeman.
Before his death, the Reverend Feodorus was getting into Kelly with the pace and taught him to love God, obey Igumen and Briatchi, to keep silence, to be kind and meek, to avoid bravery and celebrations, love admiration, remember their Skaltal life. After becoming on prayer, she last asked the Lord for the forgiveness of sins. Together with her prayed and the tags. Soon the words of the prayer froze on the tails of the foggy, and she calmly moved to the mountain world († Ok. 474-491). The Lord discovered Igumen about the spiritual perfection of the Igor Feodor and his innermost secret. The abbot, in order to remove the slander with the heating, in the presence of the rector and the brothers of the Yenatsky monastery spoke about the vision and opened Percy Rev.. The Yenatsky Igumen and Briath shuddered by horror for their great designation and, surrendering to the Holy Tel, asked for forgiveness from the Reverend Feodora. The news about the Holy Movitinitza reached the spouse of the Reverend Feodora. He took the lead in the monastery, where his wife was saved. Patterns, educated by Rev., also went in the footsteps of his fellow mother. Subsequently, he became the igumen of this monastery.
