Honest trees of the life-giving cross. How to get to the shrine
The origin of honest hands
The life-gloomy Cross of the Lord.
The feast of the honest cross is installed on August 1 (on August 14, in Greece, in Greece by Konstantinople Patriarch Luko at the Tsar Manuile, and in Russia, the Metropolitan of Kiev Konstantinomy Nesser, Bishop, Rostov, with Great Prince Andrei Yuryevich.
The reason for its establishment was the following. Tsar Manuilu and Prince Andrei, who were among him in the world and fraternal love, happened in the same day to go to war: the first of Constantinople on Saracin, and the second from Rostov on Bulgar. The Lord God gave them a complete victory over the enemies. When Andrei walked to war, he had a custom to take with the icon of the Blessed Mother of God, holding an ebony baby, the Lord of our Jesus Christ, and the image of the honest Cross of Christ, who was among the troops two Ieries. Before the speech, he raised to Christ and the Mother of God with diligent tear prayers and acquired the divine secrets of Christ. With this invincible weapon, he arrested more than swords and spears, and hoping more than on the courage and the number of his troops, good knowing the greener of David: he watches the horse, not to the speed of human feet favors; The favorably of the Lord to His fearful, to his grace (Ps. 146: 10-11). Prince also encouraged his warriors to prayers and an example of his own reverent prayers, and a direct command, and all, walked on her knees, with tears prayed before the icon of the Most of the Virgin and the Honest Cross of Christ. After a diligent prayer, the holy icon and an honest cross were moved and fearlessly walked on the enemies: the Lord promoted them by the power of the cross, and the Most of the Virgin rendered them to help them, applying for them before God.
Constantly holding such a custom before each battle, the Grand Duke did not change him and before the battle against Bulgarians: he came out, having, like the king of Konstantin in ancient times, ahead of the troops cross the Lord. Putting on the Russian Rail field turned the Bulgarian to flight and, having pursued them, captured five cities; Among them was the city of Bryakhimov on the Kame River. When they returned after the battle with the wrong mill, they saw that bright, similar fiery, rays, mantowing all the army, come from the icon of Our Lady with the infant Christ. It was on the first day of August of the month. The wonderful spectacle was even more opened in the great prince of courage and hope, and he again drew his shelves in pursuit of Bulgarians; He burned the majority of the cities of them, putting on the surviving tribute, and devastated all the earth, after this victory, the Grand Duke returned with the celebration home.
The Greek king Manuel, who came with his army against Saracin, also saw the same miracle in the same day - the insterior of the icon of the Major Virgin with the Savior of the rays, which bred the entire regiment, and on that day he defeated Saracin on this day.
The king and the prince reported, rewarding the glory to God, special messages about each other about the victories obsessed with God and about the wonderful shine, which emanated from the icon of the Savior. At a meeting with the oldest bishops, as a sign of Thanksgiving by Christ the Savior and his Mother Mother, they set the holiday on the first day of August. In the memory of the power of the godfather, armed with which they defeated the enemies, commanded the priest from the altar of an honest cross and to assume him among the church to worship and the lyobia of his Christians and to glorify the crucifier on the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. In addition, the bishops commanded the sanctification of water on this day, why and the holiday received its name - the deployment of the honest cross, because an honest cross solemnly together with other holy icons is made on rivers, wells and sources.
Having become on a strictly defined historical soil, it should notice that on the first August of the Orthodox Church there are two celebrations, various in their origin: 1) the origin of the honest and life-giving Cross of the Lord, and 2) the festival to the all-aircraft sauce and the Most Holy Virgin. In Greek Chair, ed. 1897, so explains the origin of the first holiday: "By the cause of diseases, quite often in August, ancient times established in Constantinople Custom to wear an honest tree of the cross on the roads and streets to consecrate the places and disgusting diseases. On the eve (July 31, art. People for worship. This is the origin (prouodos) of the honest cross. " On August 14, the cross again returned to the royal chambers. "This custom in conjunction with another custom of Constantinople is to be consecrated in the court of the first day of each month (excluding January, when the sanctification takes place 6/19 of the number, and September, when it was accomplished 14/27) and served as the founding of the holiday in honor of St. and a life-giving cross and a solemn consecration of water on sources, which is performed on August 1 / August 14.

With the introduction of the Jerusalem Charter.

In some monthly celebration "The origin of the tresh of the honest and life-giving cross of the Lord" is identified with the "festival to the all-consant stay and the Blessed Virgin Mary." This most is given an occasion to think that both festivities have no its features and are essentially the same celebration known under two different names. But such a thought is completely wrong. It will become clear and undoubted for us if we consider the essence and reason to establish these two different festivals.
Let us turn to the holiday of the origin of the honest trees of the Lord Cross. " We say: "The origin of the tresh of the honest and life-giving cross of the Lord." However, the word "origin" is not completely correct and represents the inaccurate translation of the Greek word προοδος, which literally means "predition", "carrying ahead" of the tree or part of the Genuine Cross of the Lord. Already in the very name of this festivity there is a hint of its content. On the origin of this holiday in the Greek part-time of 1838, the following is said: "Due to diseases, quite often in August, has long been in Constantinople. On the eve, on July 31, departing him from the royal treasury, believed in St. The scenery of the Great Church (Sofia). Since the present day, further, before the Assumption of the Virgin, lithium over the entire city and the cross offered the people to worship. This is a preload (προοδος) of the honestly cross. " With this custom, the other was connected - to sanctify the first number of each month in the court Constantinople church, with the exception of January, when the sanctification of water was committed to the 6th, and September, when it had 14 numbers. These two customs and formed the basis of the celebration of August 1 of the "origin of the honest trees of the Cross of the Lord" and the solemn consecration of water.
On the first of August, the celebration of the All-Food Sava, Christ, of God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother, Mother, established in Russia, in Russia, during the Metropolitan of Kiev Konstantin, and in Greece, is also made. The reason for the establishment of this celebration in Russia was the victory, obsessed with the Great Prince Andrei by the Bogolyubsk Russian troops over Volzhi Bulgarians on August 1, and in Greece - the victory in the same day of the Greek emperor Manuel over Magometans-Arabs or Saracin.
Whenever he had ever had the pious Russian prince Andrei Bogolyubsky to go on a campaign to the enemies, he took with him the icon of the Blessed Virgin and the honest cross the Lord. He also had another pious custom, closely related to just specified. Before you enter the bloody battle, he endured him. The icon of Our Lady with an honest cross to their troops and together with them, surfactant to the ground, raised a tear prayer to God:
- Oh, Vladychitsa, who gave birth to Christ's God! Every hopeful will not die for you; And I, the slave of yours, I have you at the bose wall and the cover, and the cross of your son - the weapon on the enemies is sharp. The mind of Hasive to you on the hands of the Savior of the world, and there will be the power of the godfather as the fire, the falling faces of resistance, and your omnipotent representation will help us to defeat our enemies.
After this prayer, the prince of Andrei himself, and for him and all his warriors were lying to the holy icon of Our Lady and the honest cross the Lord. Then only with a firm hope for the rescue of God and the intercession of the Major Mother of God, they rushed to the enemies together.
So it was the first of August 1158. The troops of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, an animated prayer of his beloved leader and supported by heavenly help, bravely rushed at the Volga Bulge and soon won a complete victory over them. The view of the dead associates did not dare their joyful thoughts caused by such a favorable outcome of a bloody collision. When Russian warriors returned from the battlefield to their camp, they were amazed by a wonderful vision: Fiery rays that came from the honest cross and St. The icon of the Mother of God, their brilliance was illuminated by all the army. Then the Russian shelves delivered by this wonderful sign, and with great courage and courage began to pursue their enemies: they burned and devastated to the five of their cities who had resisted and did not wish to voluntarily surrender, imposed tribute to residents, and after that Returned with the celebration to their homeland.
With this rather major event in the life of Russia coincided with another equally important event in Greece. In the same 1158, Greek emperor Manuel was forced to speak with his troops against Saracin, intending to conquer Greece under his power. The exercise of this intention would have led numerous disasters for the Greeks: besides the fact that they would lose their political independence, they would have suffered a greater loss - would lose their holy Christian faith, instead of which they would have to confess the Moometan faith of their winners. On the first of August, the emperor Manuel saw from the honest cross and the icons of Our Lady, which he took with him camping, a miracle similar to the above-fiery rays, illuminated by their glitter all the army. And when after this was won by the enemy, the Greek emperor Manuel fully attributed her wonderful help of God.
Between the Greek king and Russian prince, written intercourse did not stop at that time. Therefore, Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky soon learned about the wonderful event in Greece, and the Greek emperor Manuel - about the similar miracle in Russia. Both of them glorified God for both the miraculous industrialism of it, and then after the Council with their bishops and dignitaries, decided to establish August 1, the festival to the Lord and his Mother's Mother.
So, from the brief description of the occasion and contents of the first August of the two festivals made, it is clear that both of them are different in nature and are established on completely different reasons: one festival is established in connection with the propagated deadly epidemic, and the other - about the wonderful vision and Victory over the enemy. Therefore, in "lives", compiled by the Metropolitan of Moscow phylaret, these two festivities are not identified, but one of them is called the "origin of the tresh of the honest and life-giving Cross of the Lord", and the other "the festiveness of the all-air vehicle, the God of God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of him. "
On August 14, on the first day of the Assumption post, the origin of the honest trees of the life-giving Cross of the Lord is celebrated.
This holiday was installed in Constantinople due to diseases that were often there in August. The beginning of this holiday belongs to the IX century, and from the 19th-XIII centuries, he established himself in all local churches. In Konstantinople, there was a custom for which one year of the life-giving cross of the Cross, stored in the house church of Byzantine emperors, was worn into the temple of St. Sofia, where the water department was committed. Then, starting from the first of August, two weeks, this shrine was worn around the city, while lithium served "to consecrate the places and disgusts of the disease." On August 28, the life-giving tree of the cross was transferred back to the royal chambers.
The Russian name of the holiday "Origin" is the wrong translation of the Greek word, which means a solemn ceremony, a procession. Therefore, the word "Ice" is added to the name of the holiday.
In the Russian Church, this festival was connected with the memory of Rus's baptism on August 14, 988. In the "Talking of the effective ranks of the Cathedral and Apostolic Martying Church of Assumption", compiled in 1627 on the command of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia's Patriarch, is given such an explanation of the holiday on August 14: "And on the origin on the day of the honest cross, there is a progress of sanctification for the sake of water and enlightenment for the sake of Human, in all hazards and weigh. "
The news about the bottom of the Baptism of Russia was preserved in chronographs of the XVI century: "Breasting Prince Great Vladimir Kievsky and all of Russia August 14." In this holiday in the temples, the crossover is relying and worshiping him. According to the currently adopted in the Russian Church, the small sanctification of water is accomplished on August 14, before or after liturgy.
Together with the sanctification of water, honey is being consecrated (so this holiday is called in the people "First Honey Savior", "saved on the water", "wet saved").
From this day it is blessed with the taste of his new collection.
The festival to the all-aircraft sauce and the Most Holy Theotokos, celebrated on the same day, was established on the occasion, signs from the icons of the Savior, the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Honest Cross during the battles of the Holy Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky (1157-1174) with Volzhsky Bulgarians. In 1164, Andrei Bogolyubsky made a campaign against the Volga Bulgarians who have crowded the oppressed residents of the Rostov and Suzdal Land. Things to help the queen of heaven, the prince took her miraculous icon with him, which was brought from Kiev and later received the name of Vladimir. Two priests in the closure carried in front of the army of the holy icon and the honest Cross of Christ. Before the battle, a pious prince, joining the holy secrets, turned with a hot prayer for the Virgin: "Everybody migrated, Mrs. will not die, and I have a sinful wall in you and cover." Following the prince, the orders and warriors fell on his knees and, attached to the image, went against the enemy.
Bulgarians were broken and turned to flight. According to legend, on the same day, the Greek emperor Manuel was won by Saracin. Impropulating proof of wonderiness of both these victories served huge fiery rays, which were from the ex-forces in the troops icons of the Savior, the Mother and Holy Cross. These rays covered the shelves of the burgher rulers of Greece and Russia and were visible by all the fighting. In memory of these wonderful victories, with the mutual consent of Prince Andrei and the emperor Manuel and on the blessing of representatives of the highest church authority, and a holiday was installed by the guests of the All-aircraft Sava and the Most Holy Virgin.
One day, Tsaritsa Elena, Mother of Emperor Konstantin, dreamed of sleep - someone commanded her to go to Jerusalem and bring divine places, closed with wicked. It was primarily about Calvary, which by the time they equalized the Earth on the orders of the Emperor Adrian and put the pagan idols here - Venus and Jupiter. The idea was Coupled: Adrian wanted Christians to worship their shrines, looked like idolaters. He was confident that the followers of Christ would forget this place.
But it was not there! 75-year-old Tsarina Elena did everything to return the shrine to Christians. In 325, its efforts in Jerusalem began excavations. Three crosses were found on Calvary - the one on which Jesus was crucified, and the other two on whom the robbers were hung, one of them, as we know, was subsequently the first to enter Paradise.
But how to determine the true cross? The Bishop of Macarium Jerusalem, who led the excavations came to the rescue. He turned with a hot prayer to God, asking for a sign. And the Lord sent ... a dying woman. The sufferer began to bring one cross after another, believing that as soon as she would touch the true tree, healed immediately. At the first two crosses, the dying did not respond in any way, but when the third was brought to her, she suddenly recovered. So learned the cross of the Savior.
Here four nails were found, as well as Title INRI (Jesus Nazaryan, King Jewish) and the cave, where Jesus was buried. At the place of amazing finds, Emperor Konstantin ordered to build a temple of magnificent all temples, anywhere existing ones.

Delivering from disease
The strength of the cross was so great, so many cases of healing were recorded that in the 9th century in Constantinople established a holiday in honor of the origin (meal) of honest trees of the life-giving cross. Initially, it was noted only as the local on August 1 to the old style. But in the XII-XIII centuries, it was established in almost all Orthodox churches. The history of the holiday is so described in the Greek part-time of 1897: "Due to diseases, quite often in August, since ancient times established in Constantinople Custom to wear a honest tree of the cross on the roads and streets to consecrate the places and disgusting diseases."
On the eve of the holiday, he was taken out of the royal treasury and believed in the Holy Destroy of the Church in honor of the Hagia Sophia of the Wisdom of God. Before the audit of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout the city, Lithium served, offering a cross to worship everyone.

Honey saved - 14 (1) August. On this day, the Orthodox Church makes the festival to the all-air-fighter sauce and the Most Holy Virgin. Also begins the Assumption post - the shortest, but strict almost as a great post. The post precedes the feast of the Assumption of the Mother of God. And his first day is the origin (or meal: the word origin means the procession) of honest trees of the life-giving Cross of the Lord. A cross is taken to the center of the temple on the uterus: until Saturday evening service, all believers can bow to him.
History
The feast of the origin of honest trees of the life-friendly cross of the Lord was installed in the 9th century in Constantinople: each year a part of the life-giving cross, which was kept in the houses of the Greek emperors, brought into the temple of St. Sophia and sanctified water to heal diseases. The first day of August was chosen precisely because there was a disease in this very hot month, people were applied to the cross, on which Christ was crucified, drank water consecrated andreceived long-awaited health .
The festival was established on the occasion of signs from icons of the Savior, the Blizzard and Honest Cross during the battle of St. Andrei Bogolyubsky (1157-1174) with Volzhsky Bulgarians (1157-1174).
In 1164, Andrei Bogolyubsky made a campaign against the Volga Bulgarians who have crowded the oppressed residents of the Rostov and Suzdal Land. Things to help the queen of heaven, the prince took her miraculous icon with him, which was brought from Kiev and later received the name of Vladimir. Two priests in the closure carried in front of the army of the holy icon and the honest Cross of Christ. Before the battle, a pious prince, joining the Holy Taine, turned with a hot prayer for the Virgin: "Everybody migrated on the things, Mrs. will not die, and I have a sinful wall and cover in you." Following the prince, the orders and warriors fell on his knees and, attached to the image, went against the enemy.
Bulgarians were broken and turned to flight. According to legend, on the same day, the Greek emperor Manuel was won by Saracin. Impropulating proof of wonderiness of both these victories served huge fiery rays, which were from the ex-forces in the troops icons of the Savior, the Mother and Holy Cross. These rays covered the shelves of the burgher rulers of Greece and Russia and were visible by all the fighting. In memory of these wonderful victories, with the mutual consent of Prince Andrei and the emperor Manuel and on the blessing of representatives of the highest church authority, and a holiday was installed by the guests of the All-aircraft Sava and the Most Holy Virgin.
In the Russian Church, at the same time with the celebration of the All-Food Sava, the memoir of the Baptism of Russia committed on August 1, 988, in the memory of which a small sanctification of water is established on this day. Therefore, in the people, this holiday is sometimes called "wet saved."
Finally, the third holiday of the day - the memory of the Holy Old Testament Martyrs of Maccalevian, who strengthened the sacredness of faithfulness and, undergoing short-term torment, was encountered by salvation and eternal blissful life in the kingdom of God.
Seven Holy Martyrs Maccabyev: Avim, Antonin, Guri, Eleazar, Euseevon, Adim and Markell, as well as their mother Solomonia and teacher Eleazar suffered in 166 to n. e. From the Syrian king Antioch Epiphana. Antioquia Epiphan, conducting the policies of the humanization of the population, introduced Greek pagan customs in Jerusalem and the whole Judea. He desecrated the Jerusalem temple, putting a statue of Zeus Olympic, to worship who forced Jews.
The ninety-year old man is the legister of Eleazar, who for commitment to Moses was judged, with hardness went to the torment and died in Jerusalem. The same courage was shown by the disciples of St. Elyazar: seven McCaveev brothers and their mother Solomonia. They, fearlessly recognizing themselves with the followers of God of the true, refused to bring the victim to the pagan gods.
Senior of the boys, who gave the first answer to the king on behalf of all seven brothers, was devoted to terrible tortures in front of the rest of the brothers and their mother; The remaining five brothers one after another underwent the same torments. The seventh brother remained, the youngest. Antioch offered Saint Solomonia to lean him to renunciation, so that she remained at least the last son, but the courageous mother strengthened him in confessing the true God. The boy also faded the flour, like his older brothers.
After the death of all children, Saint Solomoni, standing above their bodies, made hands with a grateful prayer to God and died.
The feat of the holy seven Brothers McCaveev was inspired by the priest Mattafia and his sons, who raised the uprising against Antioch Epifan, which lasted from 166 to 160 BC. e. And, having won, cleared the Jerusalem temple from idols.
Meaning
The name "Savior" indicates that all the memorable events are somehow connected with the Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ and remind us of the need for faith in him and hope for His mercy.

Such traditions (as, for example, the consecration of apples for the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord) are quite natural for the consciousness of an Orthodox person. Earth and all living on it produce fruits in the fishery of God, and a person who participates in the production of these fruits, as a sign of thanksgiving God for help in this case brought the first grown fruits into the temple.
Therefore, by itself, the tradition of sanctification of honey on this day is in no way connected with the celebration of the All-ESSA. And, of course, this piety tradition should not eclipse that holiday, which is celebrated by the Orthodox Church on this day.
