June 11 - the day of the memory of St. Luke Krymsky (War-Yasenetsky). The saint of God Lukuk, the moths of Christ of God to be saved by our souls. Saint Luka (in the world Valentin Feliksovich Waro-Yasenetsky) was born in 1877 in the city of Kerch, in Crimea, in the noble family of Polish origin. Since childhood, he was fond of painting and decided to enter the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. However, during the entrance examinations, they were doubtful, and he decided that he had no right to do what I like, and you need to work to facilitate the suffering of the neighbor. So, after reading the words of the Savior about the harvest's making (see: Matt. 9: 37), he perceived the call to serve God's people. Valentin decided to devote himself to medicine and entered the medical faculty of Kiev University. The talent of the artist helped him in scrupulous anatomical studies. He graduated brilliantly (1903) on the eve of the Russian-Japanese war, and his doctor's career began in the hospital in the city of Chita. There he met and combined with a marriage with her sister of mercy, they had four children. Then he was transferred to the hospital of the city of Ardatov by the Simbirsk province, and later to the upper lipl of the Kursk province. Working in hospitals and seeing the consequences that happen with general anesthesia, he concluded that in most cases it must be replaced by local anesthesia. Despite the scant equipment in hospitals, he successfully conducted a large number of surgical operations, which attracted to him and patients from neighboring counties. He continued to work as a surgeon in the village of Romanovka of the Saratov region, and then he was appointed head physician of the hospital at 50 beds in Pereslavl-Zalessky. There, he still operated a lot, continuing to conduct scientific research.

In 1916, in Moscow, Valentin Feliksovich successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic of local anesthesia and began working on a large monograph on purulent surgery. In 1917, when the revolution risks were rare in large cities, he was appointed head physician of the Tashkent city hospital and settled with his family in this city. Soon the spouse died from tuberculosis. During the care of a dying in his head, the thought came to ask her operating sister to take care of the upbringing of children. She agreed, and Dr. Valentin was able to continue its activities both in the hospital and at the university, where he led anatomy and surgery. He often took part in the disputes on spiritual topics, where he acted with refutations of theses of scientific atheism. At the end of one of the assembly, on which he had long and inspired, the bishop of Innokenti took him aside and said: "Doctor, you need to be a priest." Although Valentine never thought about the priesthood, he immediately accepted the offer of the hierarch. In the next Sunday, he was ordained in the Diacon, and after a week it was erected in San Ierhea. He simultaneously worked as a doctor as a professor and as a priest, serving in the cathedral only on Sundays and coming to classes in Ryas. He did not do much more services and sacraments, but learned in preaching, and his instructions complemented spiritual conversations to the burning topics. Two years in a row, he participated in the public disputes with the redefined priest, became the head of anti-religious propaganda in the region and the deadly death afterwards. In 1923, when the so-called "Living Church" provoked an updated split, making discord and embarrassment in the Lono of the Church, Bishop Tashkent was forced to hide, putting the management of the diocese on Valentine's father and another protopsychiatrist. Remaining Bishop Andrei Ufimsky (KN. Ukhtomsky), being in the city of Travel, approved the election of Valentine's father to the Episcopath, committed by the Cathedral of the clergy, which preserved the loyalty of the Church. Then the same bishop tonsure Valentine in his room to the monks named Luka and sent to a small town near Samarkand. Here two exile bishops lived here, and the St. Luca in the strictest secret was Cahotonisan (May 18, 1923). After a week and a half after returning to Tashkent and after his first liturgy, he was arrested by security bodies (GPU), accused of counter-revolutionary activities and espionage in favor of England and was convicted of links to Siberia to Turukhan Region. The path in the link took place in horrific conditions, but the Holy Doctor spent not one surgical surgery, saving from the right death of the suffering, whom he had to meet in his path. In the link, he also worked in the hospital and made a lot of complex operations. He used to bless patients and pray before the operation. When representatives of the GPU tried to prohibit it, they came across a solid bishop refusal. Then St. Luka was summoned to the office of state security, they were given half an hour for the fees and sent to the sledding of the Ice Ocean. There he walked in coastal settlements.

At the beginning of the Great Post, he was withdrawn to Turukhansk. The doctor returned to work in the hospital, since after his expulsion she lost the only surgeon, which caused the ropot of the local population. In 1926, he was released and returned to Tashkent. On the next autumn, Metropolitan Sergius appointed it first in the Rylsk of the Kursk Diocese, then in Elets Orlovskaya Diocese as a Vicar Bishop and, finally, to the Izhevian department. However, on the advice of Metropolitan Arseny, Novgorod, Luka refused and asked for peace - the decision that he bitally regret afterwards. For about three years, he calmly continued its activities. In 1930, his colleague in the medical faculty professor Mikhailovsky, having lost his mind after the death of his son, decided to revive it with blood transfusion, and then committed suicide. At the request of the widow and taking into account the mental illness of the professor, Lord of Luka signed permission to be buried on his church rite. Communist authorities took advantage of this situation and accused the bishop in the awareness of the murder of Professor. In their opinion, the Lord from religious fanatism prevented Mikhailovsky to resurrect the deceased with the help of materialistic science. Bishop Luke was arrested shortly before the destruction of the Church of St. Sergius, where he preached. It was subjected to continuous interrogation, after which they tied to the scented carpenter, which undermined it to the already stunning health. Protesting against inhuman conditions of detention, Saint Luka began a hunger strike. Then the investigator gave the floor to let him go if he stops a hunger strike. However, he did not restrain the words, and the bishop was convicted of a new three-year link. Again the way in terrifying conditions, after which work in the hospital in Kotlas and Arkhangelsk from 1931 to 1933. When Vladyka had a tumor, he went to the operation to Leningrad. There, once during the service in the Church, he survived a stunning spiritual revelation, who reminded him of the beginning of his church ministry. Then the bishop was transferred to Moscow for new interrogations and made interesting proposals on scientific research, but provided a renunciation from Sana, to which St. Luca responded with solid refusal. Liberated in 1933, he refused to head the free Episcopal Department, wanting to devote himself to continue scientific research. He returned to Tashkent, where he was able to work in a small hospital. In 1934 his work was published "essays of purulent surgery", which soon became the classic of medical literature. During work in Tashkent, the Vladyka fell ill with tropical disease, which led to the retinal detachment. Nevertheless, he continued the medical activity until 1937. The brutal repressions committed by Stalin not only against the right oppositionists and religious leaders, but also against the communist figures of the first wave, filled with millions of concentration camps. St. Luca was arrested together with Archbishop Tashkent and other priests who preserved the loyalty to the Church and accused of creating a counter-revolutionary church organization.

The saint was subjected to the "conveyor" interrogation, when 13 days and nights in the blinding light of the lamps investigators, replacing each other, continuously interrogated, forcing him to state himself. When the bishop began a new hunger strike, his, exhausted, sent to the newspapers of state budgets. After new interrogations and torture, the depletion of his forces and leading to a fortune when he could no longer control himself, Saint Luka signed with a trembling hand, which recognizes his participation in the anti-Soviet conspiracy. So in 1940, he was sent to the link for the third time, to Siberia, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where after numerous stations and failures could achieve permission to work as a surgeon and even continue in Tomsk scientific research. When the invasion of the Hitler's troops occurred and the war began (1941), who ranked millions of victims, St. Luca was appointed the main surgeon of the Krasnoyarsk Hospital, as well as those responsible for all the military hospitals of the region. At the same time, he served as a bishop in the diocese of the region, where, as the communists were proudly reported, there was not a single acting church. Metropolitan Sergius elevated him to the San Archbishop. In this Sana, he took part in the 1943 Cathedral, which was elected Patriarch Metropolitan Sergius, and Saint Luka himself became a member of constant Synod. Since during the war, religious persecution was somewhat weakened, he began an extensive program for the revival of religious life, with double energy giving preaching. When the Krasnoyarsk Hospital was translated into Tambov (1944), he settled in this city and managed the diocese, at the same time working on the publication of various medical and theological labor, in particular the apology of Christianity against scientific atheism, entitled "Spirit, soul and body." In this work, the saint protects the principles of Christian anthropology with solid scientific arguments. In February 1945, the Archpastor Activities, St. Luca, was awarded the right of wearing the cross on the hood. For patriotism, he was awarded the medal "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." A year later, Archbishop Tambov and Michurinsky Luka became the winner of the Stalinist Premium of the first degree for the scientific development of new surgical methods for the treatment of purulent diseases and injuries set forth in the scientific works "Essays of purulent surgery" and "Late resection with infected junctions of joints." In 1946, he was transferred to Crimea and appointed Archbishop Simferopol. In Crimea, he was forced primarily to deal with the businesses of the local clergy. He taught that the heart of the priest should become a fire that radiates the light of the Gospel and the Love to the cross, whether it is a word or an appropriate example. Due to heart disease, Saint Luka was forced to stop operating, but continued to give free consultations and provide assistance to local doctors with advice. In his prayers, many wonderful healings occurred. In 1956, he completely blinded, but he continued to serve the Divine Liturgy, to preach and manage the diocese. He courageously opposed the closure of churches and various forms of persecution from the authorities. Under the load of lived, perforing the case of a certificate of the Lord, crucified in the name of our salvation, Bishop Luka was peacefully restored on May 29, 1961. At his funeral, he was attended by all the clergy of the diocese and a huge crowd of people, and the grave of St. Luke soon became the place of pilgrimage, where numerous healings still take place.

Restless folk love, heartfelt stories about the wonderful healings that occurred on prayer to St. Luke - Archbishop of the Crimean and Simferopol - all this happens now, these days!

Luke's saint is the patron saint of all medical science and other natural disciplines associated with it, and above all surgery, since the peace is Luca - V.F. War-Yasenetsky was a great surgeon. The prayer in front of the icon of St. Luke of Crimean and Simferopol will help the doctor before a complex operation, as well as the patient to whom surgical intervention.

It is requested to heal from other different ailments, remembering that there were wonderful getting rid of diseases from the relics. A brief prayer for help is to correctly "hear" the patient's body will help the physician more accurately diagnose, for the saint himself was a brilliant, subtle diagnost.

It is also possible to seek it for help in enlightenment in the field of medical and other natural sciences - biology, physiology, etc., which is important for students and researchers in these scientific spheres.

His life was the true ministry to people in all conditions and under any circumstances. In whatever title, for whatever position, the Zemsky doctor, the head of the surgical department, the professor, convicted and referring, the Ieria, the bishop or the archbishop, - he always remained faithful to his convictions, I preached my whole life what it was closely Christian heart, and did not accept what could not be reconciled. His love for a person was so deep, and faith in God is so strong that it helped him to survive unbearable-sophisticated life situations and not only survive, but also to carry Christian love and effective help to those whom she was most needed.

Saying "Holy", we often imagine a person from the distant past. Does there have holiness in our usual life? I want to say: "Yes!" The more valuable the life of the saints, whose life took place in the time period, not so distant from our own life. When we say, touching: "Holy Man!", What causes such emotions in us? What is holiness? The question is not simple. But if you remember the commandments of Christ, the data in his Nagorno sermon, then everything becomes not so difficult. "Blessed are merciful, for they will be pardon. Blessed with a pure heart, for they are a bit of God. Blessed peacekeepers, for they will be informed by the sons of God. Blessed for the truth, because they are the kingdom of heaven "(Matt. 5: 1-7: 29; Lux. 6: 12-41). Cleanness of the heart, mercy for people and peacemaking - the qualities that Valentine Felixovich War Yarenetsky and encouraged the actions for which his contemporaries were grateful and we bring words of gratitude and we.

Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimean, which is celebrated on June 11, in Moscow in the Central House of Culture of Railway workers, a photo exhibition "Saint Luka" was held, prepared by JSC "Russian Railways" together with the Foundation of Andrei First-Called. But no less impression than the exhibition, the report of Metropolitan Argolid Nectari (Antonopoulos), the most important specialist in the study of the life and activities of the Russian Saint in Greece.

We present to your attention the report of the Metropolitan of Argolid Nectarius (Antonopulos) "Path with the Holy Luke".

Pouring the pages of human history, we encounter the fate of people who impose a press on a whole era, on history. Their destinies become a turning point for all subsequent generations. These people are like pointers on the road. Their life is a life of another quality, far from benefit and empty goals. Their case, their contribution to the story got dizzying, and their legacy is invaluable. The source and motor strength of their life became unlimited, bordering with self-sacrifice and self-denial. The main thing for them is a person, anyone, whoever he is.

The twentieth century left. This is undoubtedly the age of great discoveries, but also great shocks for humanity. Then, in the atmosphere of universal confusion, few people continued to keep the moral course. And if the great world of this wrote the story of the blood of millions of people, then others wrote their bright history, were next to the souls wounded. They rubbed tears and comforted people, they healed wounds, like the good Samarnin.

One of these people was undoubtedly Saint Luka. Acquaintance with him was a great grace and a turning point in my life.

From the very first moments, as I discovered this saint, I was able to learn as much as possible about his life. Therefore, all these years I visited all those places where Holy Luke lived. The material that I collected, the experience that I acquired, I recorded and published in a three-volume work, published in Athens half a year ago. From this my monograph, I would like to lead the evidence of people who knew the holy Luke.

In 1958, Archbishop Luka is completely blind. However, as the Archpriest Evgeny Veshevsky recalls, even such a notch did not interfere with Vladyka to commit worship. Archbishop Luka was part of without helpfulness to the temple, applied to icons, read the litrorship prayers and the gospel by heart, missed the barefoot, pronounced sermons. The blinded archpastyr also continued to manage the Simferopol diocese for three years and sometimes take patients, hitting local doctors with errorless diagnoses. He left practical medical activity back in 1946, but continued to help sick councils. The diocese managed to the very end with the help of proxies. In recent years, he only listened to his life that he was reading, and dictated his work and letters.
