Do you know that...

The military leader, an ardent supporter of paganism, demanded that they make a sacrifice to the pagan gods. The soldiers refused, for which they were stripped and placed under guard in a lake covered with ice. For those who were ready to renounce Christ, a warm bath was arranged on the shore. One of the warriors ran there the next morning, but died on the threshold. One Roman joined those standing in the lake.

Church Orthodox holidays in March

Theodore lived at the end of the 2nd - beginning of the 3rd century. in the city of Alasiya on the Black Sea coast and was a warrior who openly professed faith in Christ. In 306, under Emperor Galerius, the military commander tried in vain to force Theodore to sacrifice to the pagan gods. After much torment, the saint was sentenced to be burned at the stake. His body, undamaged by the fire, was buried in the city of Evkhaitakh, and later the relics were transferred to Constantinople.

Fifty years after the death of Theodore, Emperor Julian the Apostate ordered the mayor of Constantinople to sprinkle all food supplies in the markets with blood sacrificed to idols during the first week of Lent. Saint Theodore, appearing in a dream to the archbishop, ordered to announce to all Christians that no one should buy anything in the markets, but should eat boiled wheat with honey. In memory of this event, the church annually holds another celebration of the holy great martyr Theodore Tyrone - on Saturday of the first week of Lent.

Hieromartyr Hermogenes

2nd of March the church also remembers. Saint Hermogenes lived at the end of the 16th – beginning of the 17th century. He was the first Metropolitan of Kazan and did a lot to convert local residents to Christianity. In 1606, Metropolitan Ermogen was elected to the primate see. During the Time of Troubles, when Polish troops captured Moscow, the patriarch was taken into custody in the Chudov Monastery. From captivity, he addressed his last message to the Russian people, blessing the liberation war against the conquerors. After nine months in captivity, the patriarch suffered martyrdom from hunger. After the liberation of Russia from the invaders, the body of the holy martyr was buried in the Chudov Monastery, and in 1654 it was transferred to the Moscow Assumption Cathedral.

Holy Blessed Prince Yaroslav the Wise

5th of March- Day of Remembrance of the Righteous Prince Yaroslav the Wise. Holy Prince Yaroslav was born in 978 and was the son of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir. He left a memory of himself by compiling a set of laws of Kievan Rus - “Russian Truth”, which, supplemented by his sons and grandson Vladimir Monomakh, became the legal basis for the life of the Russian people. Prince Yaroslav paid a lot of attention to Christian education; on his orders, dozens of churches were built in various cities. The veneration of the blessed prince Yaroslav the Wise as a locally revered ascetic began immediately after his repose in 1054. The prince was canonized as a saint in 2005 with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Alexia II.

Kontakion of the Forerunner, voice 2: Prophet of God and Forerunner of grace,/ your head, like the most sacred thorn, found from the earth,/ we always accept healing,/ for again, as before,// you preach repentance in the world. The Greatness of the Forerunner: We magnify you, / John the Baptist of the Savior, / and honor all / your honorable head / / acquisition.

A special school of prayer is temple prayer. You need to educate yourself to strive to understand what is said in the temple. But even if in thought we move away from prayer due to our weakness, then still being in church, in the grace-filled atmosphere of other people’s prayers, we are under the constant influence of Divine grace. This is why prayer in the temple has a special meaning, meaning and power, for where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20). Fasting and prayer are great means of uplifting the soul, overcoming sins, and changing a person’s inner state. During Lent, we especially need to use these means to help ourselves, to change our inner world, to be closer to God.
