Feast of the Protection of the Holy Virgin
The Feast of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary is very revered in Russia. According to legend, the beginning of the holiday was the event that took place on October 1, 910 in Constantinople, in the Blachernae church, where the vestments of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the head cover and the belt were stored. At that time, Constantinople was besieged by the Saracens.
The inhabitants of Constantinople, placing their hope in the Most Holy Theotokos, gathered in the Blachernae Church and prayed to the Queen of Heaven and the Savior. During the all-night saint Andrei, for the sake of Christ the holy fool, he saw the Most Holy Theotokos surrounded by angels above the worshipers. The Holy Prophet John the Baptist and the Apostle John the Theologian accompanied the Queen of Heaven.
The Most Holy Theotokos spread Her cover over all the people in the temple. The veil in Her hands shone “more than the rays of the sun”, and the Most Holy Virgin prayed for the deliverance of Christians from the enemy invasion. The disciple of St. Andrew, Blessed Epiphanius, was also honored to see the Mother of God, saving Orthodox Christians under His omophorion. After the departure of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Her cover became invisible, but grace remained with the Christians. By the intercession of the Mother of God, the city was saved, and the enemies retreated. This vision was in the X century. From the vision of the bedspread of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the holiday got its name.
The Blessed Mother of God always extends her prayer cover over all Orthodox Christians and pleads with her Son, Lord Jesus Christ, to grant us eternal salvation.
In Russia, the first church in honor of the Protection of the Mother of God was built on the Nerl by the Holy Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1165. By the feast of the Intercession, Russian peasants tried to harvest the whole crop and make preparations for the winter. With Pokrova began the "winter". The cattle were no longer driven to pastures, but kept in barns and transferred to winter fodder. This holiday is considered the patron saint of weddings, and therefore rural girls then pray for an early marriage. To this end, they consider it an indispensable duty to visit the Feast of the Intercession in the church; some place candles in front of the Icon of the Intercession of the Virgin and generally try to spend the day merrily, believing that "if you have fun you can find a dear friend." Near the Feast of the Intercession, usually in our climate are the first snows. They cover everything around and thereby unwittingly lead to the convergence of this natural white winter cover with a wedding cover or veil. By the time of the Protection of the Intercession, the round dance time for girls and boys ended in the village, and gatherings began when the girls engaged in long spinning and winter evenings spinning, embroidering, knitting to sing folk songs, carols and piping. On this day - the first holiday of the cold - pancakes were baked (thin pancakes), “baked corners” so that the heat would not blow out of the house.
On the day of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Orthodox people in Russia always went to churches with all their families in order to pray in prayer for the mercies and intercessions of the Mother of God.
Apostle Ananias
St. Apostle Ananias was one of 70 apostles. He was a bishop in Damascus, where, by the command of God Himself, he baptized Jude Saul, who became the great apostle and preacher of Christ, Paul. St. Ananias, in spite of any threats, boldly and openly preached the faith of Christ between both Jews and Gentiles. From Damascus he went with a sermon to Eleuthero-pol. Here the ruler forced him to sacrifice to idols, but he solemnly confessed Christ crucified on the cross for the sins of the human race. Then the holy apostle was tortured and then taken out of town and stoned. In the XIII century. saw his relics in Constantinople.
Rev. Roman

Correcting the position of a sexton in Constantinople in the great Sofia Church, St. The novel was not content with labors and prayer in the temple; at night it was removed for solitary prayer either in the field or in the suburban Vlaherna temple. The patriarch fell in love with him, but this aroused envy in his colleagues, especially since he did not have a special ability to read and sing. Once the comrades wanted to shame Roman, they insisted that on the feast of the Nativity of Christ, in the presence of the emperor and a multitude of people, he go on pulpit to read and sing. St. Roman fell before the icon of the Virgin and prayed for a long time. At night in a dream the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him and gave a scroll of paper with a command to eat. With this scroll, he received the gift of chanting. During the all-night service he entered the pulpit and sang a beautiful song of his composition, kondak: “The Virgin gives birth to the Virgin today,” so that everyone was delighted and tender. After that, the clergy who offended him fell before him and asked for forgiveness. After St. The novel was ordained deacon.
Rev. Savva Vishersky
Rev. Savva Vishersky founded the monastery 7 miles from Novgorod, on the river Vishera. He lived in the 15th century, was born in the city of Kashin in the Tver province from eminent and pious parents. From a young age, he led a strict monastic life in the world, then retired to the Savvin Tver Monastery. For an exemplary life, he was soon elected abbot here. But the saint's humble soul did not like being the head priest, and he retired to Mount Athos. Returning from Athos, he walked for a long time in the Novgorod region to find a secluded place. Finally, he found on the river Vishera, settled here in a hut and indulged in an ascetic life. In 1418, with the blessing of St. Simeon, the monk founded the monastery and was a high example of ascetic life and constant labor for monks. Having completely arranged a monastery, St. Savva set a pillar near him and began to fight on it. On Saturday, he went down from the pillar, participated in church services and, sharing a meal with the brethren, again retired to the pillar. He died in 1461, being 80 years old. After his death, the Lord glorified him with miracles. The relics of St. Savva rest in his monastery under the cover.
Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Ever-Virgin Mary
The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates on this day a great holiday - the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Virgin Mary. Its traditions are very ancient, the first mention dates back to 910. The name of the holiday comes from the word cover - that is, a cover. The biblical story says that on October 14, according to the new style, two praying people at the same time - the holy fool and Epiphanius saw how the Mother of God soaring in the air spread her wide white veil over them. There was a period of war between the Byzantine Empire and the Saracens. The Virgin Mary floated through the air, was surrounded by heavenly angels and shone. She was accompanied by Saint John the Baptist and the Apostle John the Theologian. A large number of people attended the all-night vigil. The Mother of God began to pray for people and protect with a veil from enemies visible and invisible. The cover itself shone like the sun's rays. Grace descended upon the people in the temple, and, disappearing with the veil, the Virgin left grace to the people. The Greeks defeated the Saracens, and the church preserved the memory of the appearance of the Virgin. In accordance with popular beliefs, snow is considered on this day - the more snow, the more weddings. Girls on this day pray that God sent them married.

Putin, being the president of Russia, expressed confidence that agriculture will gradually become profitable industry.

What church holiday is celebrated by the Orthodox on October 14, 2016?
Let's start with a story that explains the origin of the October 14 church holiday and the reason why Orthodox Christians honor and celebrate it this way in 2016. The mention of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Constantinople is associated with the name of the pious Andrei the Holy One who, along with his assistant, saw the Mother of God during prayer in the church. According to him, the Blessed Virgin Mary was surrounded by John the Evangelist, John the Baptist and other saints, prayed fervently and, at the end of the prayer, removed her omophorion and covered them all in the church of those present. This vision symbolized the protection of the Virgin Mary of the inhabitants of Constantinople from the enemy army, which threatened the city at that moment. After that, the Virgin, like her omophorion, disappeared from sight, but all those present in the church for a long time felt the grace descending on them. Soon the army really retreated, and the inhabitants began to celebrate that day a great holiday - the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos.
