Celebration Cathedral of Vladimir Saints celebrated in the Russian Orthodox Church on July 6 according to the new style.

History of the holiday
The Vladimir-Suzdal diocese is one of the oldest in the Russian Orthodox Church. The Christianization of these lands began soon after the Baptism of Rus', and ancient burials that archaeologists find indicate that the Slavs in those parts buried their dead according to Christian custom already in the 990s. However, the see in Vladimir arose somewhat later, in 1214, and the first bishop was St. Simon, invited by the Vladimir prince from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. The Vladimir diocese was considered one of the largest and most significant on Russian soil: many churches and monasteries were built in it, and the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir for a long time was considered the main temple in Rus', since not only Vladimir, but also Moscow princes were married there. It was decorated with frescoes of St. Andrei Rublev, which have survived to this day. After the rise of Moscow, the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, built on the model of the cathedral in Vladimir, began to be considered the main temple, which emphasized the special continuity between these ancient cities.
The number of saints of God who labored on the Vladimir land was very large, but a special day of remembrance in honor of the Vladimir saints was established not so long ago. In 1982, Archbishop Serapion (Fadeev) proposed celebrating the Council of Vladimir Saints on July 6 according to the new style (June 23 according to the old style). This date was not chosen by chance, since on this day the main shrine of the diocese, the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, is venerated, and the miraculous liberation of Moscow in 1480 is remembered through prayers before this miraculous image. Patriarch Pimen approved this initiative and in the same year 1982, the Council of Vladimir Saints began to be celebrated.

Saints commemorated on the day of the Council
The Council includes more than seventy saints of God, among whom are martyrs, saints, saints, noble princes, and also holy fools. The most famous saints associated with the land of Vladimir are St. Sergius of Radonezh, Holy Righteous Prince Alexander Nevsky, St. Ilya of Muromets, St. Mitrophan of Voronezh, St. Jonah of Moscow, Holy Righteous Juliana of Lazarevskaya, St. Euphrosyne of Suzdal and many others. Although not all of these saints lived in Vladimir and surrounding cities, many of them were born on Vladimir soil and therefore are also revered on this day. In addition to the ancient saints, the Council includes one priest, who testified to the truth of the faith of Christ during the years of godless persecution of the 20th century. This is Saint Athanasius (Kovrovsky), who occupied the Vladimir See for two years. After going through many years of confession in the camps, he returned to the Vladimir region, where he died in the village of Petushki.

Icon of the Cathedral of Vladimir Saints
The image of the Cathedral of Vladimir Saints is common for festive icons of this type. In the center is a large white temple, reminiscent in its outline of the Assumption Cathedral of Vladimir, as evidenced by the icon of the Dormition of the Mother of God located above. This holiday has always been especially revered and loved in Rus', and in honor of this day many temples and monasteries were consecrated. In addition, the residents of Vladimir have long believed that the Mother of God especially protects their city, as evidenced by numerous miracles and deliverances from troubles that occurred through prayers before the Vladimir Icon. The image of the temple on the icons of the Council of Saints reminds believers of the connection between the earthly and heavenly Churches, as well as the help and intercession of the saints of God for Christians who turn to them in prayer.

Troparion, tone 4:
Today the chosen city of the Most Holy Theotokos brightly flaunts / and with it all the ends of the land of Vladimir are triumphant, / the memory of the God-glorified great face of the saints, / in the labors of the Orthodox faith from ancient times in this inheritance pleased God, / and they cry out to them with love: / about admiration for Christ our God prayer books,/ crowned with bright crowns from Him,/ ask for peace and prosperity for your fatherland/ and great mercy for our souls.

Kontakion, tone 4:
Like the stars of the most radiant Church of Russia, / the confession of the Orthodox faith in that rose, / all the saints of the land of Vladimir: / God-wisdom saints and good-believing princes, / reverend fathers and mothers, / passion-bearers and righteous women, / earnestly pray to Christ God, / to grant remission of sins / through love honoring your holy memory.

Magnification:
We magnify you, / all the saints of the land of Vladimir, / and honor your holy memory, / for you pray for us / Christ our God.

Prayer:
O citizens of Heavenly Jerusalem, all the saints, deeds of faith and piety and many miracles have shone in the land of Vladimir! Look upon us mercifully and raise us to the heavenly heights of those who are devoted to the earth. You are in heaven, but we are on earth below, being far removed from you not only by place, except by our sins and iniquities, but to you, as our kin, we resort and cry: instruct us to walk your path, enlighten and guide us, many sinners. . It is characteristic of you, saints, to have mercy and love for mankind: living on earth, you should not only care about your own salvation, but also about everyone who comes to you. For your instructions were the cane of a scribe, a cursive writer, who inscribes the words of life on the hearts of people named after Christ. It was not just physical illnesses that healed natural illnesses, but more than spiritual ones, the most graceful physicians appeared to nature, and your whole life was mirrored by all sorts of virtues. Coming today to the Throne of Unapproachable Light, see in it all our needs and petitions. You, together with the holy Angels, who rejoice over the one sinner who repents, take refuge and have much boldness towards the Lover of Mankind, God, do not stop crying out to the Lord for us, ask through your intercession from our All-Merciful Heavenly Father the peace of the Church of His Saints, under the sign of the Militant Cross, consent in faith and unity of wisdom, destruction of vanity and schism, affirmation and blessing in good deeds, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy, do not shame us, who flow to you with faith and love. Even though we are unworthy of so many of the glorious face of intercessors, you, imitators of God’s former love for mankind, will make us worthy by turning from evil deeds to good living. All of Russia, enlightened by God, filled with your glorious miracles and blessed with graces, confesses you to be its patrons and intercessors. Show us your ancient mercies, in whose image our fathers helped nature for good, and do not reject us, their children, with their feet walking towards you, the saints. We believe that you are present with us in spirit, and even more so with your incorruptible relics. God grant us this, like a priceless treasure. Before them, you, as living beings, fall down and pray, accept our prayers and offer them up on the altar of God’s mercy, so that we may receive grace and timely help for our needs. Do not cease to rule your spiritual flock with the rod of spiritual wisdom: help those who strive, raise up the weakened, hasten for us to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and guide us all in peace and repentance to end our life and settle with hope in the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you joyfully After your labors and labors you now rest, glorifying God with all the saints, glorified in the Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Comforter Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Parthenius of Suzdal († second half of the 16th century) - polemicist writer, resident of Suzdal; lived in the first floor. XVI century Two of his works are known: “The Canon of St. Archangel Michael" and "Message to the Unknown against the Luthors." P.'s first work is in the library of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, in the canons of the 17th century, No. 280, 284, 287 and 293, and in the “Followed Psalter” of the same century, between the canons of the Suzdal saints, written by the hagiographer monk Gregory of Suzdal. The “Message,” which is an example of the original Russian polemic against the Lutherans, is placed in one of the handwritten collections (No. 423) of the library of I.N. Tsarsky, which became part of the count's library. It testifies to the author’s deep knowledge of Holy Scripture and contains a refutation, on the basis of the Gospel and the Apostles, of the main points of Lutheran teaching and can now serve as a weapon against Stundism.

Venerable Pamva of Pechersk, recluse, hieromonk

Reverend Pamva lived in the 13th century. He was a hieromonk of the Kiev-Pechersk monastery.

During the siege of the monastery by the Tatars, the monks sent Saint Pamva for food. No matter how great the danger, the saint humbly undertook to fulfill his obedience, but the Tatars captured him and tortured him for refusing to renounce the Christian faith.

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

And, indeed, the monk was subsequently miraculously saved from his tormentors: he was raptured by the Angels and transferred to his cell in the Kiev-Pechersk monastery.

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

The memory of the Monk Pamva is also celebrated on August 28/September 10 - the day of joint remembrance of the venerable fathers who rest in the Far Caves.

Troparion to Saint Pamva, the recluse of Pechersk, in the Far Caves

By unslothful obedience/ and rejection of your own will/ having firmly restrained yourself,/ you went to suffer torment and wounds for Christ God,/ from the Ungodly, most honorably Father Pamvo, having been married,// about our souls.

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

Kontakion to Saint Pamva, the recluse of Pechersk, in the Far Caves

Monastic obedience stained with the blood of torment,/ we please you kindly,/ Reverend Martyr Pamvo,/ and, worshiping with honorable relics, we faithfully pray // praying to the Lord unceasingly for all of us.

Translation: The monastic obedience of the one stained with martyr’s blood, we glorify you with love, Venerable Martyr Pamvo, and, venerating the venerated relics, we pray with faith: “Pray to the Lord without ceasing for all of us.”

Reading the Gospel with the Church

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

CHAPTER 14.

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

CHAPTER 15.

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

3 He answered and said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 For God commanded: honor your father and mother; and: He who curses his father or mother shall die by death.

5 And you say: if anyone says to father or mother: gift to God what you would use from me, 6 he may not honor his father or his mother; Thus you have made void the commandment of God by your tradition.

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

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

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

(Matt. 14, 35 – 15, 11)

N There is no doubt that such a connecting force is Orthodoxy, but not in the form in which it came to Rus' from Byzantium, but in the form in which it acquired on Russian soil, taking into account national, political and socio-economic characteristics Ancient Rus'. Byzantine Orthodoxy came to Rus', having already formed a pantheon of Christian saints, for example, such as Nicholas the Wonderworker, John the Baptist and others, deeply revered to this day. By the 11th century, Christianity in Rus' was only taking its first steps and for many ordinary people of that time was not yet a source of faith. After all, in order to recognize the holiness of the visiting saints, it was necessary to believe very deeply, to be imbued with the spirit of the Orthodox faith. It’s a completely different matter when before your eyes there is an example in the person of your own, Russian person, sometimes even a commoner, performing holy asceticism. This is where the most skeptical person towards Christianity will come to believe. Thus, by the end of the 11th century, the Russian pantheon of saints began to form, revered to this day on a par with general Christian saints.
