in which the words were spoken, this cup dominates me, you will see all this with your own eyes. you will walk the path of christ. the sands of time, time has strange properties, sometimes it stretches for centuries, sometimes it compresses in a matter of years. 2 thousand years ago a sort of clot of time was formed. during just one human life, you could see with your own eyes julius caesar,

emperor augustus, cleopatra, and even witness the uprising of spartacus, but most importantly, you could witness an event that divided into... before and after the birth of jesus christ. nazareth. it is also called the city of good news. it was here that the virgin mary learned that she would give birth to a savior. and here jesus lived until he was 30 years old. it is a holy city for christians, just like bethlehem, where he was born, and jerusalem, where he died on the cross. the number of holy places in one place is simply amazing, well, firstly, it’s a touch, even

if non-believers come there, it’s a touch of history, this is history, where you feel very well with every fiber of your soul. for 2 thousand years people we tried to imagine what jesus looked like, how he lived, we see portraits of scenes from his life, but all this did not appear at the time of christ, but... later. in fact, no one knows what his appearance was like, how he dressed or what his manners were. the gospels are silent about the color of his hair and eyes, about his weight, his gait, whether he was right-handed or left-handed, whether he had a favorite food, what songs he liked. as we ask ourselves these questions, we begin to realize how little we know about jesus. the most reliable indisputable source about the earthly life of christ is

gospel, but the bible mentions his birth and childhood only three times. you can only understand how he lived by studying the lifestyle of his contemporaries. so one can easily guess what his first words were: abba and imma. in aramaic it means mom and dad. for us, nazareth is associated with christianity, but today more than half of the city's residents are muslims. arabic speech can be heard everywhere on the streets of the city. oddly enough, in the time of jesus , hebrew was not spoken here either; the inhabitants spoke aramaic, which is also what jesus spoke. by the way, galileo spoke aramaic with a wild accent, which everywhere betrayed their origin. surprisingly, the aramaic

language is still alive today, it is spoken by the inhabitants of maoluli in syria, 55 km from damascus, and until recently linguists from all over the world came here to study the aramaic language, then the city was captured by militants, this is what remains. after release. today about 70,000 people live in nazareth. in jesus' time the city was much more modest. there were only about a thousand inhabitants here. a large village or village by our standards. nazareth was a completely inconspicuous village.

the house of the holy family, like all houses of that

time, was most likely located in a natural cave, deep in the limestone rock. today, on the site where the house of the virgin mary joseph once was, the church of the annunciation was built. we had to get there through the narrow streets of nazareth, going uphill. on the way we met a local resident, he was sitting in the middle of the street. having learned that we were from russia , he immediately started playing the farewell of a slavic woman. it turned out that his name is yuri. he came here back when the soviet union existed. this one is funny people have been meeting tourists here with music for many years. this means that i practically play for each country separately, only their music. and they really like it. but the russians like the farewell of a slav, and i

will perform it for you when you say everything. how do you distinguish russians from non-russians? the busiest street of nazareth, here all the roads and curious tourists and ardent believers lead to the temple, the church of the annunciation. the church of the annunciation contains images of the mother of god from all over the world, and in the courtyard of the temple there is a magnificent sculpture an image of the virgin mary, with whom

tourists love to take pictures. there are many historical books, novels, there is some kind of abstraction in it, yes.

brothers and sisters. the gospel reports that the brothers' names were jacob, joses, judah, and simon. there were three more sisters. their names are not mentioned. whether they were relatives, cousins, or step-in-laws, no one knows. by the way, brother james, or the righteous james, after the death of jesus, became the first archbishop of jerusalem and the head of the christian community. we have no definitive evidence that jesus could read, but indirect evidence suggests that he was most likely literate. the key issue here is that apparently joseph was himself from a more educated background, joseph, the father of jesus. we see that there is a stable tradition, he was from the family of david, that is

, it is an impoverished aristocracy, in fact, very impoverished, but an aristocracy, therefore, of course... to many jesus, the family lived poorly, the profession of a carpenter was not prestigious in those days times, and jesus had no chance of becoming anyone else, the profession was passed on by inheritance, then for the residents of nazareth the family was everything, the place of birth, the school of life and a guaranteed job. most likely, i was very poor, we have an indirect answer to this. testimony in the gospel, the fact is that according to the traditions of that time, for the first son of the first-born son born in the family, it was necessary to bring a thanksgiving sacrifice. in the jerusalem temple, the gospel tells how joseph and mary go to jerusalem, but they sacrifice not a lamb, but a pair of doves, this is the sacrifice of

a poor man. maria went here to get water, by the way. the path is not close, about half a kilometer, and even in the mountains from the house of the holy family. the well today is located in the temple of the archangel. gabriel, greek orthodox church. this well is the only place in nazareth, the validity of which is not disputed even by skeptics. so 2,000 years ago, these stones were probably touched by the fingers of baby jesus. the water in the well is considered holy.

nazareth is considered the hometown of jesus, although he was not born here. the nativity of christ is bethlehem. everything that is written in the gospels about the birth of jesus christ is connected precisely with this city. and christmas today is the main holiday of the city. but why did jesus’ parents end up here, it’s almost 200 km from nazareth, 5 days of walking, despite the

fact that mary was, as they would say now, in the late stages of pregnancy, which means she could give birth at any minute. joseph and mary could not help but come to bethlehem, they were obliged to participate in the population census, they live in nazareth, but then it came to mind: so to speak, the time had come for the roman emperor to conduct a population census, and according to the laws of the roman empire, a population census is made in places not where you live, but where you were born, and she came from the house of david, maryam, so she had to come with her family, with her family and with her husband joseph, lent is ending and the magical holiday of easter awaits us, the most important miracle is that god is love, i understood that my loved

one was suffering, my feet just led me to the temple, and i confessed, without preparing for this in any way, i burst into tears, since then, yes, we already have four children, i said katya, what happiness, you are pregnant, she says no, i’m not i want to live, i don’t want to give birth, i said, no, stop, this can’t be, you saved the child, right? it was the voronezh religious procession, we walked the first 600 km from voronezh to deveevo in 21 days, a monk walked with us, and i walked like that, i felt so good, i said, what is this, he says, this is grace, i went blind one eye, completely blind, on the operating table, i physically felt my guardian angel, and i believe that my guardian angel, of course, the lord god, with the hands of the doctors they performed a miracle, oh, how beautifully you are preparing for easter, and this is preparation , i'm with i’m walking as children and here we are in our garden... we’re all hung with all these eggs, but we ’ve been carrying this resurrection in our hearts for the second millennium, this is actually the greatest

russian holiday, look after the time program, on the day of victory on the first, non-commissioned officer, your documents, grigory koltegen, senior lieutenant, unit commander, we are ours, men, and what about ours? so, a very serious mission is being prepared, a saboteur, the legendary beginning of history, spotted. traitors, the main task is

to eliminate him, machine, add two nodes, we should be there in an hour, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, who can go on the mission with us? to the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of crimea from the nazi invaders, saboteur. crimea. this means we have 5 minutes to remember the card. may 9, on the first. if in the time of jesus any jew could come here, today everything is different. bethlehem is located in palestinian authority territory, which means that when you visit the city you actually cross the border between israeli and arab territory. so the journey of bethlehem begins with the israeli checkpoint. a huge wall separates the two.

the entire small city is divided into eight quarters and decorated with christian buildings. today bethlehem has about 11 thousand inhabitants. half are christians. they never hid their faith, on the contrary. on the doors of their houses they depict a cross or st. george the victorious. very similar to the coat of arms of moscow, and in the most prominent place. this saint is from palestine. the mayor of the city, according to

local law, must be a christian. the bible says that jesus was born in a cave. on the site of the cave today stands the church of the nativity of christ. the bible says that jesus was born in a cave. if you say a cave, your imagination draws such a textbook image: stone vaults, a fire in the middle.

where did this word come from? this is the cattle trough that became jesus' first cradle. today, in memory of her, there is a recess in the stone. when you can put your face like that, on the place where, according to legend, jesus was born, this stone lies there, you think, well, right away, you immediately transport yourself, so through the centuries you think, how would would you like to refuse? at this time there, to feel what those people felt who realized that he was coming, and the deposit itself is marked with a silver star, in bethlehem - this is perhaps the main shrine, the queue to the star can last for several hours, many do not understand, why

do they go there, but after that i know... people whose whole life changes, people begin to look at the world differently, some things reconsider their values, this is natural, most likely it is even natural, because apparently god concerns the heart of a person at this moment, and something happens to him, also to the most unbeliever. the path of christ, step by step. the nursery, where the mother of god placed the baby, the sacred waters of the jordan, where the savior was baptized, the cave of the forty-day fast, the threshold of the gates of judgment, over which jesus stumbled on the way to calvary, you will see all this with your own eyes, you...

you will walk the path of christ. in the church of the nativity there is a special icon of the mother of god. the virgin mary is smiling on it. glass, a lot of jewelry, gifts from grateful people, those who received healing, a single icon, which smiles, this is the only icon in the world, when everyone left, left me, it was august 30, august 30, i fell on my knees in front of this icon, for a long, long time the village, give me a son, exactly after... months they took me to the maternity hospital on may 31 at trinity, they took me to the maternity hospital because vanechka was born at 37 weeks, 5 days. to understand what victoria is talking about, you need to know the story of her

life. she managed to give birth to her first child only 12 years after the wedding. she and her husband anton makarsky visited hundreds of doctors, we tried eco, after which vika was barely saved. about the fact that i won’t be able to become a mother, i was sentenced more than 9 years ago by doctors , i called vika makarskaya, this is my close

friend, and i said: i say, i’m in such despair, it seems to me that my life has come to some kind of a certain line, given that i, in principle, did not hide my age, and 40 years is, in principle, a certain line for a man and a woman. at that moment, victoria was in the holy land; from the trip she brought an icon for her friend, the icon of bethlehem mother of god, gave them a spouse and said: “guys, i really ask you, just believe me, start praying, praying to god.” she said: “guys, this icon will bring you into your home everything you want, you are the most important thing.” you want and believe in it. as often happens, annie and her husband began to pray to god out of despair. after all, we turn to god for the impossible; for the possible, there are enough people. we read akafests, and this is very

difficult, that is, it requires a certain concentration, because it is not easy text, this... you also need to pass this through yourself, and a miracle happened, a year later anna and mikhail became parents. the doctors threw up their hands and said, well, these are wonderful miracles, the doctors don’t communicate with us anymore, they don’t tell us anything, they say: you live your own life, we don’t know why we can expect from you next time. icon from bethlehem.

with a newborn child in their arms, joseph and mary did not go to nazareth, to egypt, and by no means to rest. they had to flee from king herod the great when jesus was born,

herod was nearly 60. in feature films it is customary to portray him as a disgusting old man, like meshchadimad. and in general, it is not surprising that 3 years before his death he ordered. they will call him the king of the jews, although, of course, they meant the kingdom of god, and not the power in judea. and even on the cross where he was crucified, the letters inri, an abbreviation in latin, were written, jesus of nazareth, king of the jews. herod decided to destroy his rival on the scale of a purely eastern despot; he simply

ordered the death of all male infants under 2 years of age. this is what's happening here a completely terrible event, genocide, one might say, babies were killed in the vicinity of bethlehem throughout judea, and no one escaped this fate. therefore, of course, this can be called a tragedy, genocide, this is an absolutely monstrous event that remains in history. it’s not just our grandmothers who said, herod, you’re damned, beating up babies - this, in general, according to legend, this is still preserved among us and often they even compare abortions with beating up babies. opposite the cave of the nativity is the cave of the infants of bethlehem, holy martyrs today.

hiding from pursuit, joseph and mary walked more than a thousand kilometers, on foot through the desert, but with a baby in their arms, they had to go in a roundabout way, just before leaving... mary stopped to feed the baby, this place has been preserved in bethlehem, called milk cave. the walls of the cave are covered with such a white coating, like spilled drops of milk. it is believed that this plaque is the best remedy for infertility. day 1 june.

in egypt they found their refuge. a few years later, an angel appeared to joseph in a dream and said: “get up, take the baby and the mother.” him, go to the land of israel, for those who sought the soul of the child have died." herod died, times have changed, the holy family returned from egypt to nazareth. i will reign or

perish. a foreign woman who had no legal rights to the throne, accompanied by the orlovs, arrived at the barracks of the izmailovo regiment , where she was declared an autocratic empress. during the 34 years of her reign, catherine gained fame as a wise, fair ruler. she radically changed the country and, like peter i , received the epithet “great”. she led victorious wars and annexed the empire. new lands, wrote laws and carried out reforms, he is 34, she is 10 years older, soon they will not talk about darkness as the most influential person in russia, but even relying on male help, the empress always reserved the final decisions for herself.

what do you play? harp. there is no harp, take a tambourine. we know everyone by name. romeo and masha. me, comrade commander. we remember how they flew, caught grasshoppers, eagles, wolves, and how they loved, and as shakespeare said in the eighteenth year, hello, boys, and we remember what these boys did for us, those but the fields, roads, villages, uh, no, the air is different,

and the sky is bluer and the earth is greener, we will live, we will. live here as long as we remember, only old people go into battle, may 9, after the program, time, and if they give you a division, where we’ll get enough balalaikas, nazareth is clearly associated with jesus, today the name jesus cannot be called common, but 2000 years ago it was quite common often, like tanya and i or... sasha, so i had to add the prefix nazarene. jesus' mother, in all likelihood, became widowed at an early age. at least at the cross we no longer see joseph's golgotha. crucified on the cross, the savior entrusts the care of mary to the apostle john. so providing for the family

rested on the shoulders of jesus for a long time. he worked with wood and stone. they contacted him to fix it. these are sheds for livestock, plows, oxen and so on, if he was a carpenter, it is obvious that he was a fairly physically strong person, and the physical stress that he endures in the gospels, it is impossible to imagine a slender person, he is

a very physically strong enduring man, that is, he, look, he preaches in it, did not show himself, what he expected. according to jewish laws, adulthood occurs at the age of 13, that is, at this age jesus was considered already a fully grown man, but a spiritual adult, having the right to teach other people, is considered only from thirty. wise law, nothing can be done. up to 30 years old,

remember yourself. after all, you haven’t yet gained any worldly experience to teach adults, to be listened to, for a person this is unthinkable, he doesn’t yet have a beard or mustache, and this is no longer trust, without a beard, without a mustache, you no one will believe that at the age of 30, jesus actually challenges society, he begins the centuries-old traditions of his people, very brave.

the friend called himself the son of god; the familiar image of his neighbor prevented them from discerning his essence. in the gospel of mark, perhaps the earliest, melcom mentions a rather restrained reaction; first of all, there is reason to believe that there was a restrained reaction on the part of the brothers. they could think that this is not reasonable enough behavior, not reasonable enough, maybe not adequate enough, they could think that through a miracle but jesus does not seem to notice this, he fulfills the will of god, first of all, he goes to john the baptist and is baptized in the waters of the jordan.

jordan is just around the corner. jordanians believe that jesus was baptized on their eastern side. the israelis say: “well, of course, on this one, on the western one.” the truth, as always, is in the middle. baptism actually takes place in the water, and the width of the river here is, well, 8 meters. by the way, under no circumstances should you swim across these 8 meters, because this is a real state border. the border is locked, border guards are on duty on both sides. we had a case where one man. heeded the guide’s admonition and decided to swim, and what’s most interesting is that he began to be carried away, because in winter the jordan floods with a strong current, very stormy,

so he fights the wave, a border guard runs along the shore and reports into the radio, moshi, moshi, a man has crossed the border, from there we hear the answer from the walkie-talkie, and he touched the reeds on the other side, the pilgrims are screaming, save the man, he needs a life preserver, the soldier answers, did he touch the reeds, i don’t know, now i’ll ask the guide, please contact me, what is his passport number? in general, as a result, the man was thrown into a circle, the man was saved, the whole group was scared, a good question, what if he had crossed, but i think that the border guards on the other side would, of course, have arrested him, until 2011 this territory was disputed between israel and jordan, entry here was strictly prohibited, access was opened once a year on the feast of baptism, now it is free... you don’t need any permits or entrance tickets, you can just come by car or with

tourist group. this place was chosen by john the baptist. jewish tradition required that living water that flows, not standing water from reservoirs, be used for cleansing from sins. therefore, john baptized people in the jordan river. he did not baptize them, he did not, he denounced them, he denounced the vices of the local jewish kings for sin, so to speak, adultery, and he spoke the truth to their faces, for which, in fact , so to speak, he was unloved by the local population, because the truth spoke to the uterus in his eyes. jesus christ betrayed this ancient traditions have a new meaning, this ritual has become cornerstone for us. he entered the water of the jordan, where people, where people left their

sins, took himself, the sinless lord, took upon himself the sins of the whole world, a person can read the gospel, and even go to church and read church literature and consider it theological literature, but this does not mean that he... is a christian, but in order to become a christian, a person must be baptized. rafael musan levy was born into a jewish family and was baptized 10 years ago. it was difficult for my relatives to understand this, but it was conscious action of an adult. i prepared seriously for baptism, i thought about it for a long time and read the gospel, the new testament and...

other people may have a completely different path, today christians treat immersion in the jordan with special reverence, you can plunge in specially designated places only in a special uniform. everyone who wants to take a dip in the jordan puts it on for... by the way, contrary to existing opinion, the fact that a person took a dip in the jordan does not mean that he is

now a baptized christian, because baptism is this is a sacrament. which is conducted by a priest, and swimming in the jordan is rather a christian tradition. well, gali, the sensations are incomparable, the purity of both body and soul is absolutely extraordinary, it’s impossible to express in words, that is , i’m just in tears, i can’t, i can’t, how everything will fall into that beautiful grace. here for the first time, i dreamed of coming to the holy land for 20 years, this is happiness, as he himself admits, he was afraid to miss something, he immediately adds, either jokingly or seriously, trying to imbue himself with holiness, i entered the jordan three times, swam, three times, you'll go, and there the current is such that it carries you to this border,

there is a grid, a border, it carries you there and once, once, once, once... on this day , patriarch theophilus ii, the primate of the jerusalem orthodox church, comes here from jerusalem. at some point, the patriarch goes straight down to the jordan river and immerses the cross in the water three times, as is done during consecration, and just for a few seconds.

a unique fact: the water in the river suddenly becomes salty, this salt of the dead sea ends up in the river, it’s rare luck to get it into a bottle. even the ancient jews believed that rivers healing, at this moment it acquires a special power that belongs to you, lord.

take a pill for the head, i wet a handkerchief with water from the jordan, i applied it, it’s so good, as a rule, i immediately calm down very much, it’s probably self-hypnosis, but it helps me a lot. the orthodox church calls baptism an epiphany. it is believed that on this day the entire holy trinity revealed itself. god the father said with a voice from heaven. this is my beloved son, the son of god through baptism from john. and god, the holy spirit, with him who did not descend upon jesus christ dove. the bible describes what happened after the baptism of jesus in sufficient detail. for jesus, the life of an ordinary person ended. he set foot on the path intended for the son of god.

the bible describes everything that happened to jesus christ, how he turned 30 years old, in quite detail, and with a specific geographical reference, it becomes clearer what he did. what he talked about, what air he breathed. from this point of view, the bible is the best guide to holy places. where and how could it actually happen? events that the gospel describes? after the baptism on the jordan river, in fact, the first

event in the life of christ, which is described in the bible. jesus withdrew into the desert, the saying goes that the desert is represented by sand dunes, this is the place where it really was. “mountain of temptations, jesus christ went here immediately after baptism, he rejected all the machinations of the devil, he did not eat or drink for 40 days, great lent, that’s what it’s called now, i don’t strictly keep it, because i’m on the road all the time, too , so that people understand, i can go there, i don’t eat meat, naturally, there are some such. i try to limit myself in some ways, because for me fasting is a little different, not that i will strictly not eat something, at least become one iota better in something or give up something so that it would be dear to me during fasting, even to try so hard, i don’t have enough strength for it, one priest

told me very well, he says: at least you loved some kind of candy, at least give it up, at least become a little cleaner, something... then, probably, everything should change. i was talking to my daughter once and said: you can do it at all. don't drink? come on, i’m talking from the first of january to the 31st of december, you promise that i will have a sip, there will be no beer or wine. i realized one thing: when you limit yourself in something, yes, you find some other joys. the monastery of temptations, or as it is also called, the forty-day monastery. located. literally 7 km from jordan, an hour and a half walk, no more, because it wasn’t a matter of distance and sand, it was solitude, distance from other people, humanity, there is one place where i would

just stay like that and be there, this mountain temptations, i don’t know what happened to me there. “we arrived quite late, we had such a big program, we visited a lot , plunged into jordan, again, like in the gorninsky monastery, like in the church of the holy sepulcher, the lord just started to flow with tears, he just leaned against the entrance, and i didn’t need to, actually , nothing more, i was pleased that, in principle, god allowed me to step on this mountain like this.

the solemn ceremony, the inauguration of the president of the russian federation on may 7 at 12:00 moscow time. miracles, blessed matron, i always carry an icon with me, here i have petals, and many people are healed with matron’s petals. we came precisely for this, so that she could help us in our personal lives. those who protected her took care of her. they came up with the idea that she is from a very poor family, this is not true, whoever is in pain makes his request, i don’t know how to do it correctly, i appeal as best i can, the matron was not born in a large

family, because at the moment the appearance of a matron in the nikonov family, there was only one child, a 10-year-old girl, i can’t say that i just so boundlessly believed in it, but i just admitted that it could be, in may we had a joy, some kind of divine providence, we just stood in front of... the mountain stands on the border of the judean desert and the jordan valley near the city of jericho, its height is 380 m. in fact, a difficult climb, rocky serpentine, hot. the road takes about 20 minutes, no less, you have to walk while reading a prayer. lord jesus christ, son of god, have mercy on me, a sinner. people rise with

a feeling of repentance and remember that christ himself was on this mountain, tempted by the devil, and we know that often all sorts of small things await pilgrims. dirty tricks on the way. here the devil suggested to him: “if you are the son of god, tell these stones to become bread.” it was these stones that he proposed to turn into bread. here the lord said the phrase: man will not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of god. according to tradition , pebbles consecrated in the cave of jesus can be taken from the monastery as a souvenir. these are a kind of amulets. here they are. what is it? pebbles from rogonyu to the mountain. we have a new father, he says: “at least bring me a pebble.” well, i

brought him a pebble, i took it from this forty-day mountain, there was such a healthy bowl, there were pebbles, so i left two for myself, one for madyuzhka, then the road down, and although the going is a little easier, you can rent a donkey, this pleasure costs 10 dollars, who has sore legs, there are women, for example, these donkeys, they have 10 dollars for their use, and you walked yourself, i myself? only myself, because it needs to be experienced, experienced, it’s hard, i’m going down, i was so afraid, i think, lord, now i have the same legs ache, i think, well, no, we need to experience it, the path of christ, step by step, the sacred waters of the jordan, where the savior was baptized, the cave of forty days.

you will see all this with your own eyes, you will walk the path of christ. after 40 days of temptation, the ministry of jesus began; this stage of his life is most fully described in the bible, although the motives for his actions are described by the evangelist.

it affects my conscience. jerusalem is a city that will simply be my conscience. no matter where i go in this city, this city reminds me of who i am. it should be. but jesus does not go to jerusalem, to his native places. why? it is unlikely that he could come to jerusalem. immediately declare yourself the messiah, simply no one would have heard him, the speed of information transfer is not the same, today it is enough to post a video on youtube, the whole world knows about you. 2 thousand years ago there was no internet and mobile phones. jesus had to personally tell people about his teaching, he had to show himself as a standard of life. the good news was supposed to spread like ripples on water, the news of... that the kingdom had come

god, but this took time. jesus begins in his native galilee, preaching in houses of worship, somewhere on the hills , or even in the open air. galilee is a region in the north of israel, continuous mountains and hills, even the name galilee translates as wavy.

some true intellectual, as the gnostics say, that he revealed to us some knowledge that saves us. the lord came and spoke first of all to the heart of man.

called, he probably caught just such a fish in this lake. this is our local fish, which has been found in this very lake for more than 2 thousand years, it is called telapia galilea, and indeed the apostles caught it, our lord jesus christ ate it, this fish has one distinctive feature: it has two gills just a little lower so black, but like... dots, this is the place where the apostle andrew fished from the pier, the savior walked on the water. the apostle andrew fished with his brother peter, and now this

fish is called the fish of st. peter, according to legend, two dark spots behind the gills, this traces of his fingers. where, according to the bible, jesus performed the first miracle, turning water into wine. at first glance, this miracle does not carry any deep meaning, but this is only at first glance, as in general everything in the bible, jesus and his mother came to the wedding, during the holiday the newlyweds ran out of wine. there was a miracle to save them from shame. the savior did not want to create it at all; he creates it out of obedience to his earthly mother. the lord came to fulfill the law, and according to the law, honor your father and your mother. and so the mother of god asks, and christ

yields, although in fact he is in no hurry to create a miracle. why isn't he in a hurry? because he knew that as soon as he began to work miracles, it would be the beginning of the end, the beginning of it. himself to the world that he is not an ordinary person. so he will already be known, he will already announce what has happened, the countdown has begun and the process has become irreversible. the miracle in cannae is christ’s first step towards calvary, but then no one knew this except jesus himself. and the cana of galilee today is associated with weddings, newlyweds and happiness.

the russian tsar sent money for construction new temple, so this temple was built with our money. in addition, the russian emperor sent rich gifts to the temple, including the entire iconostasis. and after the interview, george invited us to a wine tasting. copernaum, the city where jesus christ lived and preached.

of his 33 years, he lived here for 3 years. here he performed the greatest number of miracles. samu. this is exactly the place. it's easy to explain. during the time of christ, capernaum was a kind of regional center of galilee. everything that was said in this city quickly spread throughout the surrounding area. news of him movement, about his words, about his sermons, it

spread without a telegraph, without the internet, very quickly, and it is clear that public consciousness was ready to accept his preaching, capernaum is a paradise for archaeologists, under this temple it looks more like a flying saucer, when.. . found simon's house, jesus christ lived here for some time, crowds of people came to listen to sermons. simon is saint peter, the one who holds the keys to heaven. all the walls of this house are covered with various inscriptions of some of the first christians whom they affirm their faith. what we consider today vandalism. when people write on the walls here vasya, for archaeologists and historians an invaluable source of information, i do not

encourage you to write on every wall that you were here, but when it is in some historical place and is revealed on an archaeological site, it is truly fantastic source of information, in copernaum christ performed many miracles, healed peter’s mother-in-law , who was lying in a fever, and the servant of the roman centurion and the future apostle matthew, who was dying. the miracles performed, in modern terms, greatly increased jesus' rating. they started talking about him all over the area, but not yet as a son of god. it seems that even the closest students do not quite understand who they are with. jesus has yet to reveal to them the divine essence. this event in church tradition is called the transfiguration of the lord. the holy

fire is born right here, the holy of holies of the temple on a marble slab, and it is from here, in a special hole in the wall, that it goes out into the world. through this fire we connect. god bless you his divine love, and we receive grace from the holy sepulcher. many believe that the hole under the altar remains from the cross. in fact, the cross stood a meter further away; now there is a crucifix there. god became a man and came into the world when people decided to get rid of god and get rid of his word. the greatest tragedy in the history of all mankind occurred. there are 33 steps from golgotha ​​to the holy sepulcher. this is the path, from the crucifixion to the kingdom of god. the church of the holy sepulcher is on the first place today,

the option that i offer you is the best, 10 km from the city, and they will provide care themselves high level. we have prepared our best apartments for you, no hint of a hospice or almshouse, you can have an autograph, i have admired you since my youth, an autograph. wanted a boy, we should probably just be happy for her, i don’t want you to repeat my mistakes, anna andreevna, i’m not

alphonse, you’re daydreaming, animator on may 10 at the first, and you know that anima is the soul of latin, apple saved, we celebrate it on august 19, apple because it is a harvest festival, because this sourness. it’s just ripening into a juicy apple, i saved it because that this is the holiday of the transfiguration of the lord, the transfiguration of the savior, it happened here, on mount tabor, it is also called the pub of the earth, by the way, it really seems that pilgrims from russia really love this place, they specially come to the orthodox monastery, according to ancient tradition, before you must enter the gate... in the church hangs

a miraculous icon of the mother of god, an unknown color, they say:

gazebos, but there are few who want to sit, most try to admire the view from the mountain. 2000 years have passed since the time of christ, but there is little in this picture has changed. the transfiguration took place 40 days before the crucifixion of christ. thus, christ allowed the disciples to touch the holy of holies, as if he opened a door for them and allowed them to look into the kingdom of god. from that moment on, they not only believed, they knew for sure that it existed. now jesus was able to openly announce

to his disciples about his martyrdom that would come. ahead at the age of 33, i was so overwhelmed a little, it was the calvary story, because a man came in who began to talk about how christ was crucified, that the nails were not driven in here, how shown on crucifixes, yes, in the forearm, because this bone supports the weight of the body, that a person dies from suffocation, that the diaphragm is pinched, he cannot take a breath, so they... he looks for support, rises, that is why nails in his feet , because this is a support, the nails turn when he rises and takes a breath, and the nails are hand-forged with jagged ones, not like now all these, uh, here are the nerve endings, we have one tooth, the tooth hurts, this is one nerve, but here there is

just a bundle of nerves or a turning guest again puts a person into a painful shock, who again begins to slowly subside. takes a breath again, this torment, well, it lasts, here is a crucified man who suffers for several days, this execution was carefully executed, slavish, how terrible, most terrible, and this man who experiences all this suffering, he prays for his tormentors, since it was recognized that he was ... a state criminal, although his guilt was not proven, then death should have been the most humiliating and shameful, it was necessary to humiliate him so that he his followers turned away from him and forgot about the heresy that they were carried away by. the last thing jesus does before

heading to jerusalem to face his inevitable and painful death, he says...

our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come. everyone knows this prayer, even non-believers. for the first time these words were jesus christ. preached the sermon on the mount, in the mount, because on the mountain, right here, the height of the mountain is 110 m, the slope forms a kind of amphitheater, the best place for the sermon cannot be found, everyone can hear it, now let’s see, yes, indeed, it opens up from here. a stunning view of the sea of ​​galilee, as if nature itself here helps you feel the presence of god. today this

mountain is called the mount of beatitudes, the beatitudes, because every part of the sermon on the mount began with the word “blessed.” it is important to understand that the word “blessed” is a classic russian translation from greek. makarios, that's the word, happy. the sermon on the mount begins precisely with this, that is , it offers its recipes, nine recipes to achieve happiness. these are paradoxical recipes. these are not recipes on how to achieve happiness in the usual sense, wealth, health. jesus said: stop thinking about yourself. turn your gaze to those around you. the words from the sermon on the mount are familiar to everyone, including non-believers. judge not, lest ye be judged, the light of the world is the salt of the earth. salt,

it protects food from decay, prevents it from rotting, yes, it salts food. the meaning here is that a person should become salt in relation to the world around him. peace in in general, it disintegrates, disintegrates. still reflect the level of a more ancient society, i will cite such a striking one, for example, in order to protect a woman of that time,

it was assumed that in the case of rape , the rapist should marry the victim. thousands of years bc, this was apparently a good way to protect the victim, but a little later it became much less good, in our time it is simply terrible, it is clear that the preservation of such commandments. his position is that whatever commandments you want to fulfill, you must fulfill them, based on making others feel good. the teaching of christ did not abolish, but in many ways updated the old testament laws of moses, raising them to a new spiritual and moral height. in the new testament, jesus proclaims new principles in... all people, what he, the savior, wanted to say, there would be no wars, there would be no

such suffering, do not kill, do not steal, do not covet your neighbor’s wife, these are such simple things , and if you follow them, then you don’t have to think about how you will build tomorrow, it will build itself for you. jesus' miracles and preaching caused controversy. for his ministry, jesus chose a strange and provocative manner that attracted attention. it was as if christ was not being led, but he himself was going to calvary. he constantly did everything contrary to the rules, ignored the ritual washing of hands before eating. into society as tax collectors and prostitutes, publicly communicated with women and even included them in his community as equals, which was completely

unthinkable in those days, jesus was especially reproached for not honoring the sabbath, how dare he perform miracles on this day . we we see that the approach to the sabbath was now legalistic, formal, that is. to observe no matter what, they want, let’s say a person dies, there, some thought anyway, let freedom die, so to speak, sunday will come if he survives. in modern israel, too, on saturday you can’t drive cars in many areas, many people completely prohibit themselves from doing any work, you can’t even press buttons on the elevator, well, all this was exactly the same in the time of the savior, on saturday any kind of work was prohibited activity, when the lord performed miracles on the sabbath for the pharisees, this was the reason to reproach him for breaking the law, and the lord

came. just not to break the law, to fulfill it, to fill it with new meaning, which is why in the gospel he so often explains to them that i want to learn mercy, not sacrifice, and that the sabbath is for man, and not man for the sake of the sabbath, the activity of jesus attracted more and more followers, conversations multiplied about him, who he was, a prophet, a messiah or a charlatan, the appearance of jesus in jerusalem should have put an end to this... dispute. there is no point in declaring oneself god's messenger in galilee. we must go to the very center of the jewish religion. jesus arrives in jerusalem on the day when the largest number of people gathered there. before the holiday of passover, it is consonant with easter, but the meaning is different. for the jews, this is a holiday in honor of the exodus from

egypt. in the supreme donkey, jesus enters these golden gates, now they are blocked with stone, but the arches marking the entrance are clearly visible on the wall, through them, according to the old testament prophecy, it was the supreme donkey that the messiah was supposed to enter jerusalem. today is easter - the main holiday for christians around the world. it symbolizes victory over death. for the salvation of all mankind, jesus christ suffered on the cross and rose again on the third day. all events related to the crucifixion, death and resurrection of christ took place in jerusalem. but before that there are still a few days full of active activity. first of all, jesus causes destruction in the main jewish temple. he

reproaches the high priests for distorting the teachings of god and expels the merchants from the temple. have you ever wondered what they are? could they trade there? the fact is that people came to jerusalem from very distant places, many abroad. of course, dragging a sacrificial sheep on a rope from some babylon or even from nazareth would be madness; sacrificial animals had to be somewhere. to buy in the bustle of bargaining and trade there, it is clear that the local population with a stormy, stormy temperament was excited, noisy, screaming, when jesus comes with his disciples, he enters this temple square and sees this whole bazaar, baslay, he is indignant turns over the table and the money changer and expels

the merchant... from the temple. after this, the fate of jesus was sealed. the high priests convene the sanhedrin, the supreme court, and sentence him to capital punishment, the death penalty. and now jesus himself is deliberately bringing the denouement closer. his word, with which he addressed people, became a word for them.

we all imagine her from this painting by leonardo da vinci. but the room where this meeting took place is called the zion upper room. try to compare it with leonard da vinci's painting of the last supper. it turns out? if you go to the bedouins. as they have dinner or lunch, there is a treat and dishes in the center, men recline around them, on the floor. and in the scripture you will also see that they were reclining, but leonard daincha imagined this with his imagination. the famous

garden of gethsemane also appears to everyone as a dense forest where jesus retired from people. in reality, everything is much more modest. the garden is located in jerusalem at the foot of the mount of olives, in appearance it is unremarkable, if you do not think that it was here that christ prayed the night before execution. the garden of gethsemane, a symbolic place, words dominate me, this cup, the last hours before the trial and crucifixion. and the greatest betrayal in the history of mankind, at the cost of 30 pieces of silver. obviously, this is really the same place, why? if we look, across the kidron stream opposite, just located, is the platform

of the old testament temple. the lord came to the garden of ephsemane, why was this place his favorite, that he prayed opposite the old testament temple, that is, on the same level as it. feature of olive trees is that they grow for centuries, constantly renewing themselves, so it is quite possible that these very trees are the same age as christ, it is there that you understand that this is not a legend, that he was there, that he walked there, he preached there, he sat in the garden of gethsemane, that's absolutely true. “over there, near the orthodox church of the dormition of the virgin mary, as the bible says, a stone’s throw away, there is a cave where the disciples slept, and jesus was betrayed by judas and taken into custody.

many of us have the most vivid image of the last hours before the crucifixion. after reading the novel by the vlugak master margarita. the trial is described there. in the wrestler, although in fact pontius pilate never lived there, he came here only from time to time. we do not know where ponti pilate stayed when he lived in jerusalem. there are two options. he could stay in a palace that was once built by king herod for himself . this palace is located in the western part of the city, near the modern java gate. standing above him now.

the whole path can be walked at a leisurely pace in about 20 minutes. on this short stretch with jesus several events happened. christ dropped the cross, then stumbled, leaned his hand on the wall,

and met simon of cyrene. you understand that it was all there, wow, this is the path of the rose, and he walked along it, and he carried this cross, people followed him, and these stops that.

society in the old city of jerusalem.

the orthodox church of alexander nevsky was built above it. you can't touch the threshold, but you can look. the path of sorrow ends in the church of the holy sepulcher. you and i often hear the holy sepulcher, which also seems to be true. by name, but in essence, it covers the miracle that all christians believe in, they do not believe in the death of christ, in his resurrection, therefore the main, main point in the temple, of course, is the place of the resurrection, and historically in all languages ​​it is precisely it is called the church of the resurrection of christ, in the temple there are five places associated with the crucifixion, anointing and funeral...

few people would give their lives for their loved ones, few, but for the whole world. the salvation of mankind took place here, this cave is called the holy sepulcher, the place where he was resurrected jesus. the line here never ends, holy of holies. i went twice, twice. because one time is not enough for me, when i

won’t be there yet, maybe it won’t happen at all, i fell to my knees, i have tears, i think, one is crying, it turns out that everyone there is crying, every year a miracle happens here, the holy fire descends , all christians in the world celebrate easter, the day of christ’s resurrection, you feel holy week for a certain moment... guidance, lack of forgiveness for god, at this moment i understand, there is no need to touch him in the last week, the whole world is simply mourning for him, you don’t need to ask here, in this week, but for some reason with the whole being of my soul i understand that there is no need to ask now, we need to wait until he is resurrected, then the power appears when the lord is rising, i have these feelings precisely on easter, resurrection is the main holiday of the whole year, therefore christ is risen. we must say every year, every year every single day,

then, in general, we will think not about death, not about how they put the body of the savior in the coffin, but his resurrection, which gives us hope for eternal life is what gives meaning to our entire christian faith, because if christ... was not resurrected, is our faith even? on the third day, the resurrected jesus appeared to the disciples. yes, the timid and frightened disciples of jesus gained the strength to boldly bring the light of the gospel to people. this is how christianity was born. praise

the lord to the heavens. and you deserve a song from god on victory day at the first moscow red square, the main parade of the country. more than 9,000 military personnel from different types and branches of the military will take part in the solemn march, including units involved in a special military operation in ukraine and 75 units of various types of weapons and equipment. military
