Church Orthodox holidays in October
Among the Russian saints there are many great noble princes who have made great efforts to preserve and exalt our state. 2 October the church remembers four at once - the successor of the cause: the noble prince Theodore of Smolensk and Yaroslavsky, his sons David and Konstantin, as well as the passion-bearer prince Igor of Chernigov, who was killed in 1147 in Kyiv by an angry mob.
October 6 the Conception is celebrated, the birth of which before the appearance of the Messiah was predicted by the prophet Micah. The parents of the Forerunner, the righteous priest Zacharias and Elisabeth, prayed to the Lord until their advanced years for permission from childlessness, but remained childless. Once in the temple, Zechariah saw the Archangel Gabriel, who predicted for him the birth of his son John. Because Zechariah did not believe him, Gabriel left Zacharias dumb until Elizabeth's permission from the burden.
October 8- the day of death, the founder of the Holy Trinity Monastery - the future Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Saint Sergius is one of the most revered Russian saints, a great miracle worker and at the same time a model of monastic humility. It was he who blessed the army.
St. app. John the Evangelist
The next day, October 9, the church celebrates the death of one of the closest followers of Jesus Christ. John was the only one of the disciples who did not leave the Lord during His crucifixion; He entrusted him with the care of His Mother. The apostle did not suffer martyrdom like other disciples of Christ, he lived for more than a hundred years, preaching the Gospel in many countries. At the end of his earthly journey, John ordered his disciples to put him in the grave alive and cover it with earth, but the next day the grave was empty.
On the same day in 1989, he was glorified as a saint - the first elected primate of the church after the restoration of the patriarchate in Russia. His ministry fell on the most severe post-revolutionary years of persecution and schism, when the main task was to keep the Russian Church in the purity of Orthodoxy.
October 14- a great holiday. In 860, Russian squads approached Constantinople from the sea. During the all-night vigil in Blachernae Church, Saint Andrew, a fool for Christ's sake, saw the Mother of God walking through the air, surrounded by a host of angels and saints. The Mother of God stretched out Her head covering over the worshipers, protecting them "from enemies visible and invisible." Soon after, the Russian squads lifted the siege and left Constantinople - according to some reports, the ships were scattered by a strong storm. An interesting fact: the Greek Church does not celebrate this event, while in Rus' the Feast of the Intercession, established in the 12th century by Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, is one of the most revered Mother of God holidays that are not included in the circle of the Twelve.
October 18- the day of memory of twelve Russian saints and miracle workers at once: Macarius, Job, Peter, and Macarius. Each of them has their own days of remembrance, but on this day the church gives them equal honors - as the heavenly patrons of Moscow and the entire Russian land.
October 19 we remember whose name has become a household name to denote incredulity. However, according to the words, “Thomas, who was once weaker than the other apostles in faith, became, by the grace of God, more courageous, more zealous and tireless than all of them, so that he went around with his preaching almost the whole earth.” He founded Christian Churches in Palestine, Mesopotamia, Parthia, Ethiopia, and also in India, where he suffered martyrdom for Christ.
Memorial Day of the Monk Leo of Optina, as well as the Cathedral of the Fourteen Venerable Optina Elders, headed by October 24. The saints were canonized as locally venerated saints in the 1980s and 1990s, and in 2000 they were glorified by the Jubilee Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church for general church veneration. The holy relics of the elders are in the Vvedensky Cathedral of the monastery.
October 26- the day of bringing to Moscow. The first copy of the miraculous icon brought from Athos dates back to 1648. This image accompanied the Russian troops in the 1654 campaign against the Polish army, and then was placed in the Smolensk Cathedral of the Novodevichy Convent.
October 31- the day of memory of another. A native of Syrian Antioch, Luke came from an educated Greek family and was a physician and artist. It was he, according to legend, who was the creator of the first icons depicting the Mother of God. Luke wrote his Gospel, as well as the Book of the Acts of the Holy Apostles, under the guidance of the Apostle Paul, whom he accompanied on his missionary wanderings. After the death of the chief apostles, Luke continued preaching in Libya, Egypt and Greece, where he was martyred in 84.
