Dankovsky baryatinsky in the name of the Martyr Sophia women's monastery. Baryatin Monastery Commemoration of comments

magazine "Nenudniy Sad"

Sometimes it is necessary to escape from the turmoil of this world. Ale yak is not easy to do! Well, really, there is only one way. The traditions that have passed through the world most often bar the doors of their abodes from places of worship for the laity, obviously, just so that we have somewhere to go in search of peace of mind. On one of these doors - the Virgin Mary of the Virgin Mary desert near the village of Baryatino, Kaluzka region - I knocked and asked to receive me for the day.

Theology behind agrarian philosophy

If an unknown person appears in your everyday life and says that you are living in your life, for example, a day in which we will help you according to the government and pray with you, you will take him for God’s sake and, since he has done no good, you will not call I'll add more help . Whenever a pilgrim shows up at the monastery, he declares that he is gladly accepted, lives for a long time, is deprived of lodging for the night... To be honest, this is not in the world. I still want to inform you about your arrival by phone.

The monastery is now in the midst of a transitional age: the monastery of fourteen rocks. In 1993, five sisters of the Maloyaroslavets wives' monastery arrived in the village of Baryatino - they planned to open the monastery directly from the village. However, in 1995, an independent women's monastery was founded here, the monk Theophilus (Lepeshinska) became abbess, and then hegumen.

The monastery was created for a practical purpose: the village was dying out, and as soon as the miracle church, founded in the 18th century, required worship. The temple is a symbol of the imperial style in architecture - dedicated to the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Another altar of consecration in honor of the holy healers-bezsribniks and wonderworkers Cosmas and Damian; The monastery preserves part of the relics of these saints of God, who suffered in Rome in ancient times, and also in Russia, and in the rest of the Orthodox world.

If there was no sacred thing in the monastery, no food was provided near the temple. For a long time it took a long time to tidy up the unplastered walls, the dark-colored dome; The abandoned cells in the transferred house to the community were rebuilt from scratch. It can't be easy. After the church service, the library, the city and the barn became a turbocharger. How the blueberries, especially the city dwellers, managed to provide themselves with the products of natural dominion even at the beginning of the cob - I can’t help but wonder. With whom the books did not lie like dead burdens: from the very first days they began to conduct a theological seminar. They study the history of the Old and New Testaments, dogmatics, liturgy, the history of the Church and the Chernets, Christian anthropology, the Greek language of the New Testament, iconography.

Other people's rules

The statute, as a rule, is the basis for any kind of creativity and imagination. Every homeland, let’s face it, has its own traditions and order: they throw themselves out at the right time, go to work, get ready... Monastir is a great homeland, and a strict order is needed here. This way of life includes a pilgrim who has arrived for a short hour. You will know beforehand when the service and meal begin when you come to any other hearing, if possible.

Morning at the monastery. Livoruch – Church of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On the right, the building of the monastery library was under-resourced. Through the crisis, everyday life happened to be frozen

And the statute also defines the order of worship - we didn’t come to the monastery for a meal. Weekdays at Baryatin's begin with the holy days just before the service is read without a priest. At the parish churches we hear the sound of the evening, the evening, the creators of images. Here, standing on the light, you will go into a quiet church, where the summer blueberry lamps are already lighting up, and the early morning prayers, the seventeen kathismas, the marvelous “admonitions of the names of the names of the evening” and the canons of Jesus will soon begin to sound. To the Most Solod, the Mother of God and the Angel. Overdo it for a long time, but as a result the result will not be as rich: the statute of penetration of mercy through to the weak, but does not allow them to weaken at all, and does not allow the strong to be carried away in ascetic submissiveness.

During the week, the service has little to do with the paraffiy - a number of people will come from the village, some will come from the regional center, and some will come from Kaluga... And for Peter and Paul at the temple there will be a little crowd, but Abbot Theophilus will bless everyone, hanging on it' I.

Queen Baryatino

In France, in the evening, sisters and pilgrims sank before the main shrine of the monastery - the Lomivsk Icon of the Mother of God. Of particular significance here is the 25th of Chernya - the day of the rebirth of the icon. Why this date itself is unknown: perhaps, on this very day, having marked the two tablets that flowed along the Ugra River, having united them - and with wonder, having shown the image of the Mother of God in the crown, with the Royal Nemovlya with a scepter at the hand ci. It’s unknown in which century this happened, but it’s completely unknown that before the end of the century, even if it’s a non-canonical sheet. The icon survived the period of persecution in the 20th century and the bombing of Great Britain.

They commemorate at the monastery one more shrine: in 1997 the temple was robbed, and on the 25th of 1999 the miraculous image was returned to the monastery - a famous priest, who bought it from sale, bought it and returned it to the sisters. Such a saint, like that day, has not been here for many years... During the hour of orphanhood, the sisters composed for the Mother of God a troparion, kontakion, velich, stichera and canon, which were first heard on that memorable day.

The impersonality of monstrous healings was once added to the monastery chronicle. People go and go to the Merciful Intercessor.

Vidliku point – burn

In 1996, the construction of a cell building with a kitchen, a refectory, large spaces for a library, a winter garden, and a medical office began. Ale sisters lived with the miracle minds for a short time. May 4, 2007, the fire of the fire in two years has depleted all the thousands of volumes of the library, mayo, make money in fourteen years. “We have become Chens - we have nothing,” the sisters said.

From that hour they cheered, just as good people did after the fire. The refectory is now larger and more beautiful at a premium, and the paintings in it will be remembered by any guest of the monastery. But the crisis did not allow the axis to complete the other building, so that there is still no library, and there are books standing in the attic of the cell building: it is no longer possible to live without grieving for what was donated and bought for two years.

Until now, the census here is being carried out during the summer months. In the kitchen they are looking for a special crooked knife, perfect for cutting fish, until they guess: it’s “before”. Thank God, none of the sisters were injured during the hour. A bunch of guts have perished - they are still being destroyed.

Remembrance with comments

Perhaps at the evening service you can also be given a memorial to venerate. A truly terrifying list: a lot of names are accompanied by explanations at the arms. Often these are nicknames: about the health of the servants of God Dimitry (Medvedev), Volodymyr (Putin), Georgy (Luzhkov) and others with them in the “government and army”; about the health, for example, of Lyudmila (Moscow, icons), Boris (his father), Vasily (7000 dollars). And I, diligently reading the monument, could not help but think about those who for those who live in the monastery, their skin evokes in memory the living image of a person, so that the chanting of names turns into a heartfelt prayer for the suffering, for friends, for sacrifices.

Robot licorice

From the window of the room, then the cell, where they settled me, I was sitting in the green field not far away; Having reached this point, I felt a rush of business: it turned out that this was a meadow where we had to work hard for the monastery’s pasik. Do you know how wonderful it is for the blueberry droplets of bjolar from the dry mesh to sit right on top of the apostle?

Bjoli is not less than kvita and honey, but also whisky, and whisky – not even candles. “It’s only Mother O.’s fresh wax that is under-burned, and the candles come out dark, so we only put them on weekdays, and go shopping on holy days,” says I’s mother. She nourishes me, which is why I drink tea without turmeric: It is immediately obvious that you have recently been in the monastery. If you live longer, you will become a tsukor esti...” It’s amazing how this prophecy is remembered. What’s so hard about the monastery that it’s impossible without tsukru? Don't know…

But I know that here they don’t try to fight with people who are cumbersome, don’t “bark” with overwhelming work (and I often read “horror stories” about women’s abodes). Little by little it was clear: the greenery in your city grows too much, and your mother buys it for the winter - you won’t get enough of your wife’s sweat.

Listen in baryatin style

- Well, what are our rumors? - conduct a “tour” of the monastery of Mother O. - Mainly self-service. Kitchen, tidying up, leftovers in the city... Will you eat the green cabbage after the evening?

“What are they talking about here, I’ll do anything - cut the tsibul,” I think, but, having swung the basin, full of lush greenery, I realize that in the kitchen I’ll lose a year for a repeat or two.

Picking half-full berries from the garden is a real pleasure: placing the thirds of zipped berries on the table is not suitable, they can be put directly into your mouth. Half a day is seasoned with conversation.

“My writing in French is really good,” says Mother E. “I was already thinking that I was speaking to him like the French themselves.” She didn’t catch up - she went to the monastery.

A specific turbo in Baryatin is about guts. 64 little animals are indulging (throwing up!) Today - especially rumored, and I have more than once warned that A.’s mother was walking through the door with a large saucepan, and a yurba was running behind her. I will share with you the following: fish guts and swimmers from the kitchen go not to cats, but to chickens.

This time at the monastery you will be rich in many new skills. Axis, for example, how to harvest a fish called catfish? Now I'm here. True, it seems that I was spared - the carcass was only about five kilograms. You can turn it any way you want. And there are stinks and much more.

Literary appendage

- I’m talking about Dickens again! - howls A.'s mother, having tripped over the mower on the Dickens estate, and everyone who is working in the kitchen at this hour understands that this is a quote from Kharms. It seems that reading here is one of the most important rumors. The next day, after the fire, my mother bought clothes, dishes, basins and... a number of volumes of works for her sisters.

And the monastery website, where new articles and photographs are regularly published, reflects both the zest of the language and the subtle relish. Here is about history and about plans for Mayday, about everyday life and about Orthodox saints, about unheard-of breaths from the Lord... For example, one night on the cross of the temple a lelek spent the night - a sad winged pilgrim - and I sent more to the site i.

Don't know; Is it possible that the combination of good light with the unperfected poetry (and the actual poetry is added with sweetness) of excessive landscapes gives the effect of “creative release”? This day in the monastery is, for example, full of completely different misfortunes.

Let me remind you that the service of the Lomivsk Icon of the Mother of God was built here. It seems that hymnography is one of the most important areas of literature.

The monastery was created with a specific practical method: the village, like the rich and wealthy Russian villages, was dying out, and when the Miracle Church was founded in the 18th century, it required worship. Its architecture is indicative of the imperial style. The head altar was dedicated in 1796 in honor of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the second, later, dedicated to the holy doctors without mercy and the wonderworkers Cosmos and Damian, who suffered in Rome.

Another basis for the establishment of the monastery was actually the foundation at the temple of a small black community that took shape in the 70s of the 20th century to the worship of Hieromonk Arkady (Athos), tonsured to the Trinity-Sergius voi Lavri; He served here, with a short break, from 28 February 1972 until his episcopal consecration on 25 February 1991 and appointment to the Pivdenno-Sakhalin See. In Baryatin, nuns who passed through the camps, lost their health and returned to their native places gathered: Anastasia (Kuzmina), tonsured Optina hieromonk Meletia (Barmina), schema-nun Tikhona, nun Nikodima, blind nun Iulitta, nun Maria (Klimkina), nun Ksenia. They came to the services from near and far villages, wondering about the possibility of settling with the same people in the territory from Medina to Kaluga temple. The community repented for the slaughter of the local single parishioners, until 1993, when they were tonsured: the tonsured women of the pre-revolutionary monasteries, who grew old, went to the Lord, and those who were tonsured in Baryatin reached old age and could not be wounded If you want to sleep and read during the services, see the temple at the same time with them.

The sisters, who arrived on the 3rd quarter of 1993, came to the empty hut, twenty years ago for the community, and they all started from scratch. We were immediately told about the scholen church service, which the Donina is cunningly adhering to: on this morning, the rank church service begins with the canons of the black rule; On the 17th anniversary, vespers and ranks are celebrated, on the 21st anniversary, prayers for those coming to sleep and a memorial are read. The nuns were no longer able to live behind the status of a secluded monastery: attending all church services, eating their final meals, and working on their duties.

The abundance of buildings did not allow us to repair the temple for a long time; we had to put up with the unplastered, dark-colored dome, which for the last twenty years was covered with white polyethylene tarpaulin, an unknown color of walls with separations from the heights of the city And, where the grandmothers got their drabins, they painted the steles with careless paintings. Aside from bouquets of living flowers and especially sculpted icons, competent black cherry singing and reading gave the service a unique flavor.

Most of the town sisters; Having settled near the village, they enthusiastically took up farming: in the first spring they planted potatoes, dug beds for vegetables, got a goat and a cow, and over the summer they started a cattle farm. Until the fall, the monastery had already reduced its own kingdom with natural agricultural products. In 1995, the orchard was planted. Through a number of rocks they dared to place a number of vuliks. Today the monastery has 18 hectares of fodder land, two gardens, a great city, an apiary, and on the new farm there are three cows, a goat, a donkey, and chickens.

From the first days of its founding, the monastery began to collect a library, and from the first days a theological seminar on the system of confessions was introduced. It so happens that most of the sisters have an intellectual need, then. The wrath of touching God is not less with all your heart and soul, but with all your minds (Mt. 22:37). Shortly from spring to the Great Day, it is important to take classes in one of the theological disciplines: the history of the Old and New Testaments, dogmatics, liturgy, Church history, history of the Russian Church, Christian anthropology, history chernetstva, the history of the Russian chernetstva, in addition, iconography.

In the early 1996s, the life of a cell building with a kitchen, refectory, and cellars began; six years later, the new building was completed with new cells, large premises for a library, a winter garden, and a medical office. Ale sisters did not live with the miracle minds for long. May 4, 2007, after burning in two years, I lost all my money, all thousand volumes of the library, mayo, make money in fourteen years; details on the page

People often rush to the monastery, having fallen asleep in sorrowful circumstances, impossible, old, selfish, and none of them go without sighing. Those who need to waste food, clothes, clothes, and spiritual benefits.

During the school summer and winter holidays, the monastery receives teenage girls who want to enjoy life in the middle. They live in the sister’s cell building, conduct divine services, begin church readings, learn as much as they can at the refectory, the sewing workshop, in the city, pick up books from the monastery library.

A plaque on the ground wall in the middle of the temple informs about this: “The Dowager General Major Anna Vasilievna Poznyakova removes the powder of the people under this stone after her dead man in this part of the village.” finished and illuminated the new temple of this church in the name of the Holy Rebirth, deprived from Volodya village to the dear and brotherly active civil servant Matvy Vasilyovich Olsufiev" (spelling and punctuation of the original). About the consecration of the temple there is an entry on page 32 of the book by Count de Roshefer Mikoli Ivanovich “Description of Church Monuments of the Kaluz Province”, published in St. Petersburg in 1882:

“...the village of Boryatino, Rizdvyana, Kam'yana, Sporudzhena 1796 r. Mr. Poznyakov." The architecture of the temple reflects the imperial style.

The head altar of consecrations in honor of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the second, later, consecrations to the holy doctors without mercy and wonderworkers Cosmas and Damian, who suffered in Rome.

At the hands of the godless rulers, the parafia revealed its devotees of faith and piety. In 1930, there were a number of arrests and deportations to the new camps of Monk Elijah (Giravko), in 1938, Archimandrite Evfrosin (Fomin) and a member of the Church Twenty, Andriy Anokhin, were shot, for sentenced to 10 years of camp headman Olen Kondratyev. From the closed temple, everything was taken away, the grain crop was drained, and during the recent period of occupation the Germans lost some money. In the 50s, the temple was reopened for the faithful. Tovarkivsky resident Andriy Pavlikov was given a monastery at the front: I will return home alive, serving God. Turning around at the called colonel, with the military towns, they opened the doors to his many offices. The front-line colonel took holy orders and served with Baryatin for seventeen years. After about. Andriy found the most interesting term when he served with the former monk Arkady (Afonin), who came from the Trinity Lavra of Sergius and left Baryatin after his episcopal consecration in 1991. Over the past two years, a number of abbots have changed, and the sisters, who arrived on the 3rd quarter of 1993, found the temple completely abandoned. The presence of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Lomivska”, which the local residents called “Lamska”, through the Church-Slavic christenings with vicoristic titles, was alluring. Nezabar became aware of the possibility of printing the work from the restoration of the temple with great splendor, as the old parish women told us, who remembered the rich additions, the paintings, and the figured fence with the red goal, which will preserve the church until krittya 1937 roku. During the most important period for the Russian economy, the sisters experienced the very sorrows, like all the difficult communities of the native land. The monastery did not have rich benefactors, and it was not until 1999 that it was possible to save a small amount of money for modern repairs. The Vikonal brigade was hired not as clearly as we wanted, but it was easy to get more for a low price. Since 2001, with the blessing of the governor of the Kaluz region, Anatoly Dmitrovich Artamonov, the monastery has been supported by the Kaluz plant “Remshlyakhmash”. The general director of the plant, Vyacheslav Anatoliyovich Dubrovin, accepted the needs of the poor desert as his own and ordered a major overhaul of the internal premises of the temple, erected a fence around the monastery, and obtained a cell building. With the participation of plant workers, the top of the bathhouse and the spire of the bell tower were replaced. After the renovation with the blessing of Vladika Clement, preparations began for painting the dome, walls, and stele. Kaluz artists Tamara and Vsevolod Sitnikov finished painting the temple near the beginning of 2007. The main shrine of the monastery and church is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Lomivska”. And also parts of the relics of St. the doctors of the bezsribniks Cosmi and Damian of Rome, the holy Optina and Kiev-Pechersk elders, the martyr. George Meshchovsky, St. Tikhon of Zadonsky, St. Seraphim of Sarov, part of the St. Pafnutia Borovsky. The temple is open for the conduct of divine services during the day, and at other times - for the funeral of the departed. For the temple

The Mother of God-Revelation of the Virgin Pestel near the village of Baryatin, women's monastery of the Kaluz diocese

The monastery was founded near the church at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The temple itself was founded in the city on the money of widower Major General Annie Vasilievna Pozdnyakova. Its architecture is indicative of the imperial style. The temple is double-throned, the main side church is dedicated to the honor of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the other - to the honor of the holy bezsribniks and wonderworkers Cosmas and Damian of Rome.

After the revolution the temple was deprived of its decor until the river, when the fabricated justice was arrested and shot its rector Archimandrite Evfrosin (Fomin) and the head of the church for the sake of Andriy Anokhin, and the elder Olen Kondratyev was sentenced to 10 rites of the camp. From the closed temple, everything was taken away, and the orchard, which was ordered, was destroyed. During the period of fascist occupation, the Germans grew thinner in the church life.

In the 1950s, the temple was closed. He was discovered by the priest Andriy Pavlikov, a colonel in the military, a participant in the Great Victic War, who honored the rich people of the city. Father Andriy served at the temple for 17 years. We pay special attention to the black people from closed monasteries who settled in nearby villages. From now on, services were held in a small church in honor of St. bezsrіbniki Cosmi and Damian, and then there will be updates and the main side effect.

28 fierce rub. the rector of the temple was appointed Hieromonk Arkady (Athos), tonsured at the Trinity Lavra of Sergius, who served in the first quarter from the 1st week of the 1st week until the 25th of March, when the Holy Synod appointed Bishop of South Sakhalin. With the blessing of Bishop Kaluzky and Borivsky Donat (Shchegolev), Father Arkady began to create a blackened community. There were little booths at the temple, where the sisters’ cells were located. A huge community of monks was created by asking for further evidence of the monks who had already received monastic vows from the old monasteries. The following settled in the community: nun Anastasia (Kuzmina), schema-nun Martha, monastic monk of Optina Meletia (Barmina), schema-nun Tikhona, nun Dorothea, nun Nikodima, nun Agnia, nun and others. Young sisters came to the community, 3 of whom took black tonsure, and 4 took black tonsure.

From the beginnings of new monasteries and through the late life of sisters in the community until the beginning of the 90s. lost more than 4 inhabitants, and 4 quarters of the river. With the blessing of Archbishop Kaluzky and Borivsky, a few nuns of the St. Michael's Chornoostrovsky monastery were sent to Baryatino for the honoring of the black community. The eldest sister was assigned to the monk Theofila (Lepeshinska). The community began to develop: new buildings were built, and the number of residents increased. 26 chest r. According to the decisions of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, the black community was converted into a women's monastery - the Virgin Mary of the Nativity, and the nun Theofila was appointed abbess.

The monastery today holds outside services, the life of the monastery and the practice of the monastery are regulated by the internal Statute, approved by Archbishop Clement. In the autumn-winter months, there is something to do for the sisters: dogmatic theology, liturgy, Sacred history of the Old Testament, Sacred history of the New Testament. Particular respect is given to ascetic shirts. The monastery's library contained approximately 8 thousand. books.
