Today, May 7, 2011, I was in the village Savvatevo Kalinin district of Tver region. In Znamenskaia church, the rector of which is about. Andrew (Archpriest Andrei Yegorov, in Twitter @ kanones1434 ), today was a special occasion. To quote the words of www.savatievo.ru : "May 7 - Remembrance Day prep. Savvatius. On this day, he finished his earthly heroism and went to his Creator to take a righteous recompense for the trouble and grief suffered by it in the time of life. From there, he now shares with the love of heavenly joy to anyone who with a pure heart and faith come to him in a forest wilderness. "In other words - May 7 is the day of the death of Reverend Savvatius, Orshinskogo miracle worker, locally venerated saints of Tver region.
Veneration of this saint is now highly increased due to the following circumstances: at the end of 2009 with the excavation papers were relics supposedly Savvatius Orshinskogo Monk and his disciple Euphrosyne. report about this was shown on RTR .
Information come down to us from time immemorial, the special detail is different. About Savvaty Orshinskom following is known.
Already in the middle of the XVI century, he venerated as a saint, evidenced by the two icons - "Resident St. Savvatius Tver with scenes of his life" and "Savvaty Tver in supplication Cross" - are now in the Museum of Old Art Andrei Rublev.
Savvaty, according to legend, came to Tver from Jerusalem. From there, he brought with him a small wooden cross, worn by him on the chest, middle of which the reverse side was a place for the relics, flooded voskomastikoyu. There was stored particle genuine Holy Cross - that itself, on which hung Jesus Christ. For many years this cross st. Savvatius stored in Savvateve as a shrine.
How did hit the Mediterranean Orthodox ascetic in the forest of the Tver? In this regard is the next version.
likely to Tver Savvaty could fall into a suite of St.. Cyprian, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Russia (Metropolitan from 1390 to 1406 gg.). Metropolitan Cyprian is known primarily by the fact that actively introduced in the Russian metropolis of Jerusalem to replace the charter of the former we have before Studios. It is logical that with him he brought monks from the Orthodox East. Monks, presumably, do not start that can transmit Russian people to experience the monastic lives of the new statute and to adopt him as their spiritual authority.
In 1390, Metropolitan Cyprian arrived in Tver at the invitation of the great Prince of Tver Mikhail Aleksandrovich (1368-1399). Here he put to Tverskaya episcopal chair of his archdeacon Arseny, the future St. Arseny Tver miracle worker (bishop from 1390 to 1409 gg.). Together with Arseny left in Tver and other associates of St. Cyprian, among them could be Savvaty. In the retinue of the Metropolitan was a group of Palestinian monks, brought to Moscow in 1390 celebrated the miraculous icon of Our Lady "Burning Bush".
That's Reverend Savvaty fell into the damp forests of Tver, where living in an earthen cave, clad in metal chains with a stone (total weight about 25 kg), he spent nearly 40 years. It was after this eminent saint of God, and the procession was held today.
After serving in the church Znamenskaia Savvateva held a procession to the wilderness - a place where Rev. dug himself cave, a pond and a well. Here is footage of entering into the woods in the direction Pustynka:
People who came to the procession were not only because of the Savvateva, but also from Tver, the surrounding settlements. Personally, I am after all the events drove to the city woman who came in two bus and ride to one of Basil Moss. She is on the road told me that she had several years ago in wilderness healed from tonsillitis son. Therefore, most standing in the wilderness, and heed the Church of Fr Znamenskaya. Andrew very seriously listened govorimoe them earnestly baptized earnestly prayed. However, there were came from frankly ethnographically-cultural aspirations and relevant conversation.
Father Andrew consecrated water wilderness of the respective rank on this video:
people stood and listened and prayed. Many came with empty plastic bottles then to collect the holy water. Had children by their conversation, I realized that they were from some orphanage. Let's see pictures (they are all clickable to enlarge):
After worship on. Andrew said a brief word about Savvaty Orshinskom, fragments of which are here (include speakers louder sound recorded quietly):
After that, some people have suitable for holy water, while others went to wash up on the pond of St. Savvatius:
I photographed an event, filmed his video camera, and he thought: to what heights of worship in samosmirenii and removal from the values \u200b\u200bof this world rose Monk Savvatii, leaving the hot Mediterranean climate and 40 years who lived in a dugout raw wood? How to was to love God and understand the futility of the entire material? And give us all of God to reach even one cent of his holiness ...
