let's talk about everything, good luck, bon appetit, if you're having breakfast, old barrel cognac, a product of the stellar group.

the icon of the sign of the blessed virgin mary is associated with special events in the history of medieval russia. unfortunately, and this dates back to the twelfth century, it was a time of fragmentation of russia, each appanage principality considered itself a sovereign state, defended its interests by hook or by crook, entered into...

internecine warfare with others, thus weakening the russian state so much that she became easy prey for those who tried to take possession of this state from abroad, from abroad, the events associated with the icon also date back to that very time, the russian military... seven russian princes , led by the suzdol prince andrei bogolyubsky, decided to take possession of the novgorod land and approached the walls novgorod. and, probably, there was no chance at all, but people turned their gaze to the most pure, most blessed queen of heaven. and

they prayed fervently, and the archpastor, the local bishop, and the clergy, all the believing people, but from a military point of view there was no chance, but what this meant, this meant the plunder of the city, and novgorod was a rich city, with a large volume of trade with foreign neighbors, therefore, of course, a very popular goal for those who wanted to increase their economic potential at the expense of this city. well, probably, this is how everything would have happened, but the prince, and most importantly, the local saint john, all the clergy, realizing that there was no chance, no strength to defend themselves, to escape , they placed all their trust in the lord, his

most pure mother, and fervently prayed before the image of the sign, it's amazing, the enemy has left from the walls of novgorod, these were seemingly completely inexplicable historical events , they went down in history because they were understandable to those people from the point of view of the reasons for saving the city, everyone knew that this was... not from human power, not from the strength of the army, not from the wisdom of the prince, but this is the mercy of god, which saved the people of the city through the prayers. that is why an icon is called a sign, what is a sign, a sign, a sign, a sign, also a banner of victory, a sign of victory, this is a sign of the great divine entry into human life, into the history of humanity. when, through the prayers

of sincere people who do not doubt for a minute that they are turning to god, they perform a certain historical cultural rite. the lord answers such fervent prayer, and this historical fact is clear evidence that, as the word of god says: the laws of nature are overcome, that is, the natural course of life is overcome, as it should be from the point of view of the laws, the strongest wins, and here the law of this nature is defeated. than defeated by the invasion of god in human life. well, these examples can be repeated endlessly. well, is it really our victory in the great patriotic war? i’m not talking about when we already became strong, when we already felt that we could

defeat the enemy, that’s when the enemy stood at leningrad, when the enemy stood in direct line of sight from moscow, if we compare. moscow, fortifications, it’s very close to the city . i live not far from the place where the trenches, the remains of the defensive peredelkino, are still preserved, it’s very close, i love walk through this forest, look at these trenches, realize, lord, what separated moscow , these trenches from this power, this wild military machine, which defeated all of europe, but the enemy survived and retreated from the walls of moscow. and,

of course, the commanders, apparently, associated the victory with their talent and abilities; such a human explanation of victory was passed on to the troops. your courage, your strength, so it was, because water does not flow under a lying stone, if there were no exploits and courage, then there would be no victory, but the victory itself the victory was a miracle of god, and today sometimes it seems to us that some big important things happen, but they happen because we are so strong, we can do anything, so maybe it’s like that somewhere and like it was once, but when we ... today we combine our deeds with fervent prayer, with sincere faith in the lord, then we gain victories on the battlefield, in the structure of our inner life, despite the fact that many take up arms against us, as we

pray for today in special prayer, turning to the lord asking for protection, saving russia from this invasion of many tribal so, despite the fact that many have taken up arms against us, we believe that the enemy will not win as long as we unite our strength, human, military strength, political strength, with the power of god, and the union of these two forces in our faith in our prayer. i know how the vast majority of military personnel are today. especially those who are in the combat zone , are people of faith, as one of the veterans told me when i asked, how could it be, you were all party members there, how did you believe in god, sewed up the text of the psalm alive in the help that your mother gave you in

the gymnast, and he answered me: in the trenches in the face of the enemy there are no non-believers, no one can say, i... an atheist , so i’m going like this towards death, because everything is revealed there , the ultimate truth , well, we still live, despite the sorrows that exist, we live in a prosperous time, but this prosperity should not distance us from god, on the contrary, we must thank the lord for every day we live, thank the lord for that that we live in a truly free country, there are only such countries counted five, maybe a little more, but all the rest are not really free, we live in a really free country, and we must thank the lord for all this, and pray for our fatherland, for

our supreme commander-in-chief vladimir vladimirovich putin, an orthodox man who clearly understands the enormous responsibility that is entrusted to him from ... above for our fatherland, we must pray for our soldiers, for those who work within the country, protecting the country from not only enemies. most often what happens, troubles happen,

which follow the events, as we know from history, which shook our entire national life, may the lord help you, vladimir alexandrovich, a special word to you, as the one who leads this squad, in memory of today’s service, i would like, for the internal troops , for all of you , your subordinates, here is to convey this image of the holy venerable sergius of radanich, defender of our land, he prayed and was heard, praying before him, i believe, and you will be heard, and your squad will worthily carry out defense of our homeland at the most important and dangerous frontier. on the inner line , god bless you, can i say two words, of course, please, your holiness, i think that

decades she has done everything to ensure that this temple truly sparkles with its greatness, recreates that glory of prayer and so that here people came in joy and in sorrow, they remembered this historical event and they had a place to commit... consider that this was a monument built for all
