A landmark event on the eve of Remembrance Day Baptist of Rus St. Prince Vladimir – opened after a long reconstruction of the Moscow Diocesan House. Today it is visited by the President of Russia. After 97 years of building, which is of great importance for the Russian history and culture, begins a new life.
The most complicated work on the restoration of the diocesan house to the temple in honor of St. Prince Vladimir in Likhov side street in the center of Moscow continued since 2005. By the 1000th anniversary of the repose of the Baptist of Russia building completely restored and consecrated. Now here is the Orthodox University of Humanities. Patriarch Kirill thanked the President for his help in the restoration.
In 1917, it was here that the historical Local Council decided to restore the patriarchate. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church was then elected Metropolitan Tikhon.
“This hall, which was held Cathedral, including a monument to our national and church history. I would like to warmly thank you for participating, because your attention to this project contributed to the fact that decisions were made on the transfer of the building, and then there were kind people who contributed, “- said the Patriarch.
“Many thanks to you the works that you apply to the revival of spirituality of our Motherland, because without this base, without this it is impossible to develop the foundation of any polity, it is impossible to move forward on the development of the economy, not to mention – social, because at the heart of any country should be based on concern for people, concern for its citizens. You have all set up just for such joint work, “- he said.
In Soviet times, the Diocesan house confiscated the church and completely rebuilt under the studio, and all the furniture of the temple, library and museum collections were completely looted. But the building itself is so disfigured that the temple was like nothing. The restorers had to work from old photographs and other archival documents.
Day of Remembrance of the Holy Prince Vladimir – tomorrow. On the same day the name-day notes and the President, about this today, Patriarch Kirill said.
“Tomorrow you will celebrate his name day. And let me heartily congratulate you. And I would like to present you with this image of a saint Prince Vladimir, the Baptist of Russia “, – he said.
The president, in turn, gave the patriarch a rare icon of the late XIX century – the Mother of God fourfold. At the celebrations in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the repose of St. Prince Vladimir in Moscow attracts foreign visitors. The St. Daniel’s monastery brought together representatives of all fifteen Orthodox churches in the world. They asked the Patriarch.
“We are united in the fact that together give a rebuff to all those who want to sow discord and division in the church. We are working together to draw attention to the suffering of our brothers in the Middle East and North Africa in Kosovo and mitochondrial, and now in the south-eastern Ukraine, where blood is shed Orthodox Christians, desecrated and destroyed the temples of God, where tens of thousands of refugees left homeless, are in constant danger from the representatives of radical forces, driven by the ideology of ethnic and religious tolerance, “- said the Patriarch.
Memory of St. Prince Vladimir devoted many activities throughout the country. Among the guests of the festival motet on the island of Valaam – Paul Metropolitan of Kiev. The minister of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate believes that it is impossible to give in to attempts to embroil the Orthodox peoples.
“We do not divide or share, we have the Ukrainians, Muscovites, someone else, we are all children of God. Today we see people rushing to Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, despite the fact that today is a fratricidal war, internecine strife. Today, people rush to St. Seraphim to Balaam, and today much as met a lot of people. This is evidenced About unity. The spirit of faith and our history. History can not be divided. We need to tolerate each other, if you can not love, and we must love! Without love, nothing in life is. God is love, “- he says.
In one of the biggest centers of Orthodoxy, the Valaam monastery, church music sounds. Instead of notes – hooks and bars – the oldest church chant. As historians believe, that such music was accompanied by worship of the early Christians. And read them really are only able Athos monks.
“It is this musical system, singing the XII century, it is called” parasemantika. “Just a line – a rise by one degree, and the first sign indicates that the rise in the five stages. First of all, it is important to word and the music is already follows the word, “- said Filipp, choir director inhabitants of the Great Lavra of Mount Athos.
On the Singing Field, which was built on the island especially for the festival, sound ancient Serbian, Bulgarian, Georgian and Byzantine chants. The service is carried out in several languages but the language of music is understandable without translation.
