. good morning, the program of istnost yaingabelov is on air, the cathedral, the descent of the holy spirit, the main temple of the belarusian exarchate of the russian orthodox church, former church of the bernardine monastery, one of the main noteworthy...

about the nativity of christ on these lands there was a male st. cosmodomian monastery, however, over time, we remember that in history the period of uniatism began, and the temple was taken away from the orthodox and transferred first to the unites, and then to catholics,

bernardine nuns, however, as we remember, in those days, very often, especially in the wooden buildings of the city, fires occurred; at the end of the 14th century, a fire in... destroyed, among other things , the building of the monastery and the temple, after which it was rebuilt, but in accordance with architectural traditions of roman catholicism, so today, when we look at the building of the holy spirit cathedral, we see that in its form it is a typical church, a basilica with two towers; after more than 250 years, historical justice has triumphed. the opening of the monastery took place on january 4, 1870, in may the synod ordered to call

it the holy spirit, the illumination of the main altar of the monastery church in honor of the descent of the holy spirit took place on october 22, 18, and on november 1 of the same year the right limit was illuminated church in honor of saints methodius and cyril. the brethren were made up of monks from the ancient sludsk holy trinity monastery. the holy spirit church operated until the beginning of 1918 and was a monastery. in 1905, the number of inhabitants. the monasteries did not exceed ten. it is important to remember that a monastery is not only the temple building, but the buildings accompanying it. and today we will see that many buildings in their architecture are reminiscent of belonging to a monastery in history. thus, the cathedral is surrounded

by buildings of former monastic cells, which now belong to secular institutions. there is an archive there, and a catering establishment is located in another place. but at the same time, the architecture reminds us that these buildings once belonged to the cathedral; they say that in ancient times there were underground passages between the buildings that connected them to each other, but some of the buildings still belong to the orthodox church. in 1918 after joining. before the bolsheviks came into power, the monastery was closed and soon services in the holy spirit church ceased. after this, much of the church utensils disappeared without a trace. in the very the temple was equipped with a gym for the fire brigade, then an archive. according to some

evidence, the crypt part of the temple in the late 1920s and early thirties was adapted into a deported prison in which dispossessed peasants were kept. during the great patriotic war, the temple was open for prayer and worship, and the divine liturgy began to be served there only after. after the war, the temple gradually began to be restored. according to the design of engineer anton yakovlevich vasiliev, at the beginning of 1943 , a new three-tiered building was installed in the temple. iconostasis. since 1961, the holy spirit church was given the status of the cathedral of the minsk diocese. when a person comes to the cathedral square, he definitely pays attention to the majestic monument, which

was erected in memory of the first patriarchal exarch of all belarus, his eminence metropolitan philarite. this man was truly of great intelligence and sweet heart, because he bore the name philoret the merciful and through his life he embodied the name that he had. and indeed, through the works of the bishop. a lot has been done, a solid foundation has been laid future spiritual revival of the belarusian orthodox church. and, of course, the cathedral is such a flagship of the spiritual life of our capital, because by coming here, a person touches the antiquity of our history, our spiritual life, and the modern spiritual aspiration of man towards god. during the historical reconstruction, the temple was

built in the style of the vilna boroka, this can be seen not only from the exterior, but also from the inside. the walls of the temple are richly decorated with icons, many of them have a very ancient history. perhaps the most the famous shrine from the cathedral of the holy spirit in minsk is the icon of the minsk mother of god guarding. in the city since 1500, according to legend, at first the icon was kept in kiev, and then it was thrown into the waters of the dnieper by the tatars during the invasion, and on august 31, 1500 , minsk residents caught it from izustya svislychi and transferred it to the temple. the holy image of the minsk mother of god survived many hard times. restoration historians believe that more than one

mystery will be revealed during the study of this shrine. the minsk miraculous image was worshiped by people of many generations of minsk residents. our lady remembers all of them who turned to her for protection in their needs and sorrows. revered shrine. icon of the mother of god of minsk. this icon is considered miraculous. according to historical information, it was brought to minsk along the waters of the svislachi as early as 1500 after the nativity of christ. since that time, it has been inseparably in our capital for a long time and has been kept in the holy spirit cathedral. every day , believers come running with prayers to the mother of god, with requests for help or with thanksgiving for receiving. mercy from god also in the temple, through the efforts of his eminence metropolitan

venianin, many particles of holy relics have been collected, which are in the public domain and every person can come and bow down to the shrine with prayer. the doors of the holy spirit cathedral are open daily from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, so every person, every resident of our city and guest of the capital, can come to plunge into this... in the left nave of the cathedral there are the relics of the holy righteous princess sophia of slutsk . despite her high princely dignity, she was a sincere christian, i tried with all my might to preserve orthodoxy in the land of sludka, to help believers build churches and spread knowledge about christ. the relics of saint righteous sophia of slutskaya rest in the holy spirit cathedral and are also

available for veneration by all believers. many miracles and healings occurred through prayers to this saint. a cathedral is a temple that contains several at the same time. thrones, several altars, as if several churches under one roof, here in the holy spirit cathedral there is small temples, they are called limits. one of them is a border consecrated in honor of the great martyr barbara. this event took place in 1861. the border was illuminated in honor of this saint, and today the varvara temple also plays an important role in the spiritual life of the holy spirit parish. all the funeral services of the

cathedral are performed here, and the relics of the saints are also kept in the altar of the varvara region. in the varvara region, a divine service is held dedicated to this holy akafes, the holy great martyr barbara. every tuesday at 17:00, believers gather to remember the feat of this ancient saint and ask for her prayers from god about the needs of modern man. spiritual life in the holy spirit cathedral in minsk is not only local. character, on major holidays, a live broadcast of the service is conducted from this place, this is very important, especially for those people who, for various reasons, cannot attend the holiday service. such people have the opportunity to watch divine services on television, but at the same time, at least partly touch the joy of the celebrated

church event. as a rule, the broadcast is conducted from services led by the primate.

our choir always serves in our beloved cathedral, this is the main temple of the belarusian orthodox church, in principle , the main temple of all of belarus, very often we sing during services that are shown on the tv channels belarus-1, belarus 24, belarus 3, and of course preparation for such holidays as christmas and easter, it always takes a lot of time, because this is a special service, of course on...

rachmaninov can also be performed by a professional group on the state stage. therefore, my task here, not only as a conductor, but as a regent, is to find this synthesis of the performance of such professional music, but at the same time, so that this music can be heard in the church, yes, that is, there should be a slightly different spirit in the performance of this work. and of course, if we talk about

why a choir is needed in an orthodox church, then there are, let’s say, two points: first, the choir is the voice of the people, because that, in principle, this symphony between the altar and the choir, which exists, because we all know that if there is a priest, then there should always be a choir, because the choir symbolizes, in principle, the prayer of everyone... that we can always hear exactly chorus the metropolitan choir

is constantly in creative search, does not stop at the achieved level , constantly strives for new musical horizons, without forgetting its main purpose, serving god and people. if we look away from the cathedral, we see building of the minsk theological academy. it is impossible not to mention this place, because the theological academy is the center of scientific christian thought. and today it is symbolic that in the center of the capital there is the center of theological thought of the belarusian orthodox church, it is located right two steps away from the holy spirit cathedral, so it is very significant that. not only spiritual life, but theological life, it is located in this historical place of our capital. in 2015

, in the buildings of the first educational building and the administration of the spiritual and educational center the church history museum of the belarusian orthodox church at the minsk theological academy began work of the belarusian orthodox church. the museum collection, presented in three halls, tells about the history of the orthodox church in the lands of belarus. in the 1910s, we saw how, essentially, a huge complex began to be built on the ruins. it was a spiritual and educational center. and in the thirteenth year, metropolitan phillaret made a decision to create, on the basis of the spiritual and educational center, a church-historical museum of the belarusian orthodox church. this decision is supported by the synod. and the bishop donates more than 400 objects in order to make a small exhibition, it seems that it doesn’t seem like it could be a national museum, but in fact

there are quite a lot of treasures here, when the museum was created, we had three halls, this was the plan, which in fact it was quite difficult to implement, because the second hall, the hall dedicated to the history of the church of the 20th century, we had almost no exhibits for it, during its existence, that is, it has already...

been commissioned in the city of minsk, but for now it is in the same volume in the same places is impossible, like the kazan cathedral in the city of minsk, which was built in 1912-13, was blown up already in 1936, there will be icons of the 15th century, kept in the collection of vladyka feloret, there will also be quite unique things, for example, the august icon of the mother of god, one of the first. that were created on belarusian lands, there will also be objects of art that testify to such very unusual practices, for example, few people know that the 19th century is actually

the century of forgery in icon paintings, this is very active old believers were engaged, but not always such a fake, which seems to be easy to see on the board - it’s clear that it’s a fake, but it’s clear that the board was simply boiled in chicken broth, it’s all obvious from it. such things are not always so easy to attribute, sometimes on such boards you can find fragments of glued icons of the 15th century, that is, the pictorial layer of the 15th, 16th centuries was transferred to a similar board, then it was not even written down, but described, that is, the lake, relatively speaking, the upper part, it was transferred because it could be a half-length image, and the rest of the part was already written, we have such objects. and we also explain why this period in the history of icon painting is also important, because it testifies to how people tried as hard as possible to preserve, we

try that... so that people understand that icons are not something abstract, not something incredible, not something so complicated, we are trying to make people understand that an icon is what fills the house, the house of every person, including the temple, as the house of god. we have already been able to collect a sufficient number of exhibits on the history of the church. from the 20th century, we also have personal belongings of some repressed clergy, but the most important exhibit that we acquired several years ago is the bed of mother valentina minskaya. this year we got a beautiful shroud for her, made in the pechverk style, which looks just like the household items we all know from childhood. we redid the third hall - the hall dedicated to the lord of phelloret, when he gave away his things, most of the awards he

donated it precisely for... storage to the museum, when he gave away his awards, we made the room during his lifetime, accordingly, it was more of an exhibition space, more, well , let’s say, detached, when the lord passed away, it so happened that literally a few months before his death, we took away from the diocesan administration the furniture that was in the bishop’s office, and the desk at which he worked, the chair on which bishop anthony melnikov sat before him, and after him bishop pa...

they are organizing weekly religious processions to valentina's grave. of course, inside the cathedral there are rich decorations, icons of crosses and other visible shrines. the main shrine of the temple is the lord himself. and in a special way he is present in those places where he is loved, they pray to him, where he is called upon. therefore, temples are always illuminated in a special way. and besides. the invisible shrine, which is the lord himself, he gives us the visible, through which we are strengthened in faith, and such shrines are miraculous icons, relics of saints, the life-giving cross of the lord. holy spirit cathedral in the city of minsk is rightly called the main orthodox church of the capital. why is this so, because it is the place of service

of the patriarchal exarch, the head.

is the center and heart and reference point for the orthodox faith. if you have not yet been to the minsk holy spirit cathedral, be sure to visit this shrine, touch the history, feel the special atmosphere of this place of worship. worship the shrines, may god, through the prayers of the saints, help us to be wise, increase love and give us spiritual perseverance. with you there was an isna program.
