time, there is a shame that there are so many people on the right from heaven, and there is a lot of such charming lyusteraks in belarus. good morning, yaingabelov’s program is on air, the belarusian land is rich in orthodox shrines, among them there are local ones and those that are known not only in our country, but beyond its borders. today we will go to the small poleska village of kupyatichi, where almost 9 centuries ago.

one of the oldest images of the mother of god was revealed in belarus. not far from the city of pinsk on the banks of the yaselda river, among wide fields , there is a small village of kupyatichi, narrow streets, cozy houses, a measured pace of life. at first glance, it is an ordinary belarusian village, but its history goes back many centuries and is of great importance for the orthodox church. the first scientific, historical, written mentions of the town of kupyatishte date back to the 15th century, although church tradition tells us that already in the 19th century, at the end of the 19th century, villagers built a temple here in honor of the introduction of the blessed virgin mary into the temple, this event is connected it was because at this place the miraculous icon of the mother of god was revealed, which later became known as the kupyat icon. according to legends

, near the village, a young shepherdess girl noticed an unusual glow in the branches, when she approached, she discovered a cross with the image of the virgin mary, the miraculously revealed icon immediately found a response in the hearts of the local residents, which is why the decision was made to build a temple in her honor? this was the first temple in kupyatischi. the interesting thing is that uh there are some scientific studies about what is in this place. it was ancient settlement, even pre-christian, but church history begins precisely with christianity, and as we see already by the 19th century, people in the town of kupyatishte were believers, religious, orthodox christians, who revered the mother of god, revered the saints, and who really, really wanted, apparently, for such a wonderful icon to be in their place, the phenomenon was not unique. miraculously, immediately after

finding the kupyat image, believers noticed its healing and spiritual power. many people began to turn to prayers and requests to the most holy theotokos, receiving in return the mercy of intercession. but the most important thing is that miracles happened solely through the faith and desire of those people who approached the icon of the mother of god, because faith is the most important thing in the matter of our spiritual formation.

but the polish lands, however, despite the difficult period and destruction, the local residents did not lose faith and spiritual strength. in 1629 , under the care of the widow of gregory of war apollonia and her son vasily, the vedeno monastery was founded on this site, in which such people as the future belarusian saints got involved, the venerable martyr athanasius igumenoprezsky, the venerable martyr: macarius of kanev igumenpinsky, for them, by the way, the merchant icon was not just special, not just miraculous, it was for them a personal shrine, and we even know that hegumen afanasy visited the city of moscow with this icon in order to talk with the tsar and

ask for his help for this vedeno monastery. holy martyrs athanasius of bresse and macarius of pinsk, great saints of belarus. an invaluable contribution to the development of our entire people, we are very pleased that they began their monastic path, began their spiritual formation right here in kupyatischi, on the pinsk-polesskaya land. at the beginning of the 19th century , the st. vedic monastery was abolished and

subsequently did not survive to this day. however, the village of kupyatiche was not left without spiritual protection. today there is a functioning church of st. nicholas the wonderworker here, where. is one of the main shrines of belarus. the icon of the mother of god of kupyatetskaya was found in belarusian lands in the distant 19th century. for many centuries, her miraculous power gathered believers and church devotees around her, healed illnesses, mental and physical, and encouraged them to pilgrimage and fervent prayer. today this is one of the oldest and especially revered images on... earth. christian tradition claims that the icon came into our lives thanks to the apostle and evangelist luke, who was the first to paint the image of the most holy theotokos. however, in the history of the church there are many examples of evidence, miraculous images, one of them is the icon

mother of god kupyatetskaya. the bathing icon of the mother of god is one of our most ancient shrines. the land of belarus, which appeared in 1182, appeared in this way, the girl anna sent cattle, suddenly she saw some kind of radiance on the tree, when the girl came closer, she saw that this radiance was coming from the cross, the girl takes the cross icon from the tree and hurries to take it home, returning to the herd, she saw the same icon in the same place, she considered that this was already the second icon of the mother of god, but when... she took the second one home, just like the first one, but she saw that the first one was not in the house. three times the icon appeared in the same place, and the residents of the village of kupyatich decided that it was there that it was worth building a church where the newly found shrine could be located. they began to build

a temple on the site of the appearance of the icon, and some person who had suffered from headaches for many years also took part in the construction of the temple. at that time, of course, churches were not built like they are today. and he simply helped, carried branches on the place where the temple will be built, and he was completely healed of his illness, this is the first miracle healing that occurred from the merchant's icon of the mother of god. unfortunately, during the tataramgol invasion, the village of kupyatiche was plundered and the church was burned. for a long time, the icon of the mother of god was considered lost, but several centuries later the shrine was rediscovered on the poleska land. according to god's providence, it had to happen that some pilgrim, yaakim, was returning from jerusalem, and he was forced to stop here for merchants for the night, without anything knowing about the merchant's icon of the mother of god, he simply walked near the place where

there once was a temple, saw some kind of radiance and at dinner told about it to the owners, with whom he stopped at the discovery, when people went, it turns out to... the warming place of the burnt-out temple, a few years later the icon, completely undamaged, appeared back. time passes, the second temple is being built after the appearance of the kupyacheskaya icon of the mother of god, and here it is. people made the decision to build a second temple on the site of a temple that had once burned down after the appearance of the miraculous icon of bozhai mothers. the temple was built and yaakim the pilgrim remains numbered at the temple. in 1629 , the vedeno monastery was founded at the kupyat church, where the miraculous image was subsequently transferred in 1638 by the first abbot of the kupyat monastery.

and as we know, the persecution of the orthodox church practically did not stop, and around 1665 there really was a threat that perhaps the monastery would be... plundered and destroyed, so the inhabitants of the monastery made the decision to make a copy of the merchant icon of the mother of god, and move the icon itself to a safer place, namely the st. sophia cathedral, the city of kiev, which was done. the icon itself is a cross, on which the most holy theotokos is depicted with the infant jesus christ, flanked by the icon of the righteous keymann, that is, the parents. of the most holy theotokos, on the back of the cross there is a crucifix, this is a copper cross, which

is about 12 cm in size, 12x12, we have it here now, but there is also an icon painted later, that is, at the beginning of the 20th century, on which a clear image can be seen , that is the icon is the cross itself, everything except the cross is decoration. the kupyatetsky icon arrived in kiev as a fervently revered relic, many pilgrims and believers turned to the miraculous shrine, stories about its healing power of help scattered to all corners of the country. it was during this period that the artistic interpretation of the image begins. the tradition of writing lists or copies of icons is very ancient; initially, copies were written from those icons that were revered by people. and of course, many lists were made of the purchaser's document, known even in the 13th century

kristincalpions made of various materials that still exist, somewhere in private collections, somewhere in some churches. the casting of the mother of god of kupyatelska is widely known in iconography; various images already exist, and various decorations are made for icons. it is even known that while he was in kiev, very... many landowners, princes, even took him as an image on their coat of arms, but still the main individual feature, i would even say so, of this icon is that that the mother of god is depicted in the cross, and uh that a list that was written in the 15th century, it also enjoys special veneration both among the pilgrims of the st. nicholas church, the village of kupyatichiy, and among the parishioners of this wonderful village, from this copy... there were also many miracles that were described later by such a wonderful

author as evgeniy poselyanin, who also did a tremendous job of systematizing, so to speak, the descriptions of the miraculous icons of the mother of god. in 1852 , parishioners of the kupyat church sent a petition to the synod for the return of the ancient belarusian shrine to its historical place in kupyatich, however, in the petition it was possible to see the preserved historical ones

widely revered throughout the world, today its encolpion crosses, engravings, embroidery and modern painted icons and various copies. there is also a temple consecrated in honor of this miraculous icon in belarus. today our merchant icon of god. mother has become famous, not only here, dear one, but they know about her abroad, including people who even came, uh, who ... joked about the help from the merchant of the mother of god, therefore, the lists are distributed almost all over the world today, some people come to the temple to believe in god according to the dynasty, that is, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandmother went, they came to the temple, some people come to faith, including when they joked that not

only does a person himself have the opportunity to do everything, solve everything, and so on, some people came to faith after experiencing and going through some kind of trouble with their health, and in general everyday problems, and so on. today, these are people who specifically received healing, the most important thing is that it will be considered miraculous for that person who with a pure heart, with a pure thought, with a pure soul will approach him and ask for intercession and prayerful help. somewhere in the intercession of the mother of god before the throne of god. the current church of st. nicholas in the village of kupyaticha was built at the end of the 19th century. today it is known to many as the location of the holy image, an exact copy of the icon of the mother of god of kupyatetskaya. however,

for local residents and parishioners it is also a place of congregational prayer and mutual assistance. and spiritual support. written sources claim that the first church in honor of st. nicholas the wonderworker existed in the village of kupyaticha back in the 19th century. it is also known that on the site of the abolished holy vedic monastery , a new church was built in honor of the archbishop of myra, but it has not survived. the date of construction of the current st. nicholas church is generally considered to be 1892. our temple is made of wood, uh, i’ll say that here we don’t have such a forest nearby, well then the moment was also not visible, so the temple itself was built like a cube, eight-pointed, the iconostasis is everything else, the altar is a little smaller, and

the vestibule is the same, in its own specific style. therefore, today there are not very many such temples left; ours turns out to be a special temple. today, what can we say about the fact that practically the temple was not rebuilt, that is, in the form in which it was built immediately, the only thing was that there were moments, here are some destructions, but that’s all, as if the current repairs were carried out, so changes how there were no such reconstructions of the temple. since the day of construction, the temple has not been closed and remained active throughout the entire period. many believe that joint prayer and the miraculous power of the kupyatetsky icon of the mother of god helped them survive the difficult war years and the atheistic period. during the great patriotic war the temple suffered some destruction. according to

some sources, traces of the fragments practically remained. here is the great fatherland. but the ruler of the kingdom of heaven, konstantin khomich, served in the war and now he lived here, here he had to, among other things, help the partisans, because it was wartime, then he was exiled to austria, er from here, returned from austria, took monastic vows, was the vicar of the minsk diocese at that time under metropolitan filoret. then he was the lord, that is, the archbishop, of bretsko-kobrin, today he is buried in the city of brest itself, everyone forged victory, including the restless vladyka konstantin khomich, we had to help with food, and

somewhere with clothes and so on, that is, practically he participated directly in partisan help. today, the svyatonikol church is an amazing place in which history is intertwined with faith, human destinies and miracles, which the holy image of the mother of god of kupyat tirelessly reveals, in response to the fervent aspirations of those who suffer. to date , the quality of the merchant icon of the mother of god has been compiled; the feast of the merchant icon of the mother of god itself is celebrated on november 28 according to the new style. we do it every year. for local residents and parishioners, the church of st. nicholas the wonderworker has long become a place of spiritual strength,

mutual assistance, enlightenment, today in its on the walls , adult children, honorary centenarians and youth unite for cathedral prayer. since i was 14 years old, i have been visiting this temple, when i even lived in another village, but i ran here in kupyatich, exactly. here in this church, well now, thank god, since the seventeenth year, 2017, with the blessing of our father anatoly, i hold the position of kosnochey, and of course, as a parishioner, as an assistant, i help, i participate in all our events, we decorate temple, we decorate the territory, our guys, men, including our father anatoly, are mowing, and we are already like we clean up the girls, we plant flowers, i also want

television news all the best to you, the agency presents in the public domain, we have no secrets from our people. these summer holidays began for us with a new semester, construction. to the western kazakhstan region one after another the komsomol echelons left. in echelons we are a student construction company, a belarusian student construction team. the third semester for alexander goravsky, the komsomol leader, is the usual chores. not so long ago he himself was a construction crew member. a composition of twenty-

five people that works. on a farm or complex, replacing the main workers, and at the same time, the main workers receive vacations in the summer. in addition, construction teams work not only in the mogilev region; today we have four traveling detachment, this is volgograd, two detachments in kazakhstan, one detachment in simferopol. this year we were forced to invite students and student teams to help builders and installers in the construction of the lukomskaya cress. in the morning from the roof. the whole world is visible, the commander is again preoccupied with something, where are the boards, where are the nails, where is the mortar, oh, an interesting conversation with the foreman, the work went very well, when we delivered the canal on time, everyone was very pleased, but the last days, especially everyone tried their best, the captain asked them to work diligently, and so in general, so that even extra shifts remain.

this is my third semester of work, and i just became convinced once again that life in a team is always fun and friendly, when one for all, all for one. there are a lot of impressions, the most important thing is that i myself observed that students can not only have fun, study, but also do great physical work, but the girls didn’t want to take the virgin soil, they doubted how to do it.
