she turned around and saw the face of god of that person there. she realized that this was the prophet. she unfolded for a fee from the whole crowd began to show everyone that you are carrying this cross. this is a great man, look reflected on my dress, and this is how this icon of veronica's dresses appeared. the appearance of the mother of god in jerusalem on a passionate path in this antique store was like in veronica's econography amazing for the second time, then uh, i must say that u russian generals didn't understand. uh, the blessing of the mother of god, to port arthur take away and place this icon there. they didn't . so, and for the second time she appeared and mother george now found e and bought and transferred to vladivostok the port arthur icon , a warrior appeared in jerusalem, protecting

the russian army, she is now in vladivostok well, in the russian church we honor him very many icons of vladimir kazan or my sorrows, which were also such difficult moments in our history and life, and the mother of god was not without reason. we turn first after the savior because we know that through her prayers miracles can be performed through her prayers. we can find a special consolation, which we often lack a minute, mourning the despondency of some moods, because the mother of god, who stood in front of the cross, who obviously participated in the burial of the savior. she experienced some kind of not real torment, those torments that were predicted by a rich seed when she brought the divine to the temple. he said a baby, and that a weapon would go through your soul. that is, you will suffer in the

same way as the savior suffered, physically on the cross. here for these sufferings of the mother of god, and as the mother of god and man. she was awarded special veneration, especially the favor of god, and therefore we often resort to her, praying in front of her icons, turning to her in a minute. sorrow. this is necessary, because it is the mother of god who helps us a lot to remember. eh, the help of the tikhvin mother of god , who came. uh, under petersburg to the swamp and beyond byzantium, remember, it was an amazing case, uh, there was no petersburg yet but the tikhvin icon, uh, before the end of byzantium from the greeks moved to russia, and the family shone in the swamp. e, and she was transferred to tikhvin and so her name became the tikhvin icon began to protect

russia and we know the story that until recently she was in the tikhvin monastery, and then e was lost and saved her hmm saved her e not german officer, oddly enough, he pulled it out of the burning church and handed it over to the latvian priest, who, together with the german army, went to europe, the icon was saved, and then transported to america and the father promised that if the icon was saved his family, and she kept hers. he will hand over to the russian orthodox church. the american church abroad and our russian had not yet been united. and at that moment the icon had already been transferred to russia; now the procession was over and the patriarcheophile is now unmasking

; removed the miter. yes, as they say, they search him, they examine him so that there are no lighters , there are no matches, and he so humbly, undressed in one lower vestment, comes in and here we are after him we see a representative of the armenian church, who also enters with bundles, but he remains at the limit of the angel. there is just this bowl, uh, with a stone on which the angel was sitting. and he will transmit the lighted fire through a special window on the other hand, he will transmit if the fire descends, the patriarch of jerusalem and from the south there will already be

a representative of armenia, we see the lights go out and the minutes of waiting begin, we know that the patriarch kneels before the false savior and reads a prayer a special prayer for the ascent of the blessed fire, he prays for the whole earth and now in these moments he becomes the ecumenical patriarch in fact, he is now praying for all the inhabitants of the earth so that this year the lord has mercy. our homeland, our earth, so that all people remain in peace and live as the lord created them, he asks very much, and at this moment, the representative of the armenian church also bows down within or also begs the lord to repent for us all for our sins. sometimes both of them often go down, something is already happening, sometimes

the fire goes down quickly, maybe it happened now. or maybe maybe you just remembered it, right? people are waiting for great tension, let us pray for peace. let's pray for peace, lord save the earth our earth tense moments and i remembered you just saw these outbreaks. they were on screen. we are waiting for the convergence of the blessed fire on both sides of the ghoul, these are the windows that we said, now the guessed fire should appear there. the people are calming down and

right now we are waiting for that very main event that transforms the christian life, because the holy fire is for us symbol of the resurrection of christ. it is the resurrection that gives meaning to human life, it is on sunday that it gives us eternal life, and we know what a person who has found in his heart. christ, he is sure to partake of this eternal life. a person who tries to repent of his sins, who does not just pray to god, but strives to keep the commandments, christ's love for god and neighbor, he is necessarily transformed internally. this is the resurrection of the kingdom of heaven. it can begin already here in earthly life in the heart person. as the savior himself said. eh, the kingdom

of heaven, it is within you, therefore, on sunday and the transfiguration of the inner - this is the inner cause of every person. we hear cries of joy, but so far have not seen anything. no , it means that the fire has come down. do you hear the bells? obviously, they began to call, as if foreshadowing this event.

yes, the fire lit up, finally appeared. we see it, this is the only place on earth where we can say that christ is truly risen, we congratulate everyone on the resurrection of christ, lord pardoned our earth once again for another year, he gave us now this holy fire will be carried throughout the temple, which will be filled with fire. and he is like a wave. the moves are going great. now it doesn’t burn , everyone will wash, rejoice and congratulate each other. the holy fire is becoming now, our delegation will also take it. this fire. fast walkers will deliver, rather, to ben gurion airport and by

plane the fire will be delivered to many cities in russia, which can be found on the website of the sexual apostle fund for several joys. delegations we see, yes, it does not burn, it does not burn, they try it. yes, you can wash your face. it does not burn, you see, what joyful words from where is your victory, death where is your sting, because the resurrection of christ, which is already being proclaimed here, we will celebrate in the coming night and in all the temples of our country, not only will this joyful age of christ be heard great triumph is risen, great joy grace is ready for all because the

resurrection of christ is the triumph of life, the triumph of eternal life, victory over evil and the devil, who dream of mankind in ancient times, but other way than in communication. to god, there is no internal transfiguration, people must change, then there will be victory over evil and fire is just a symbol of this transfiguration, that blessed light, as the greeks call it, which shone in this world and darkness did not embrace it. great celebration of all congratulations to all. we rejoice. christ is risen, truly risen , we thank mother varvara, the host of the villis, and we are very grateful to the priest andrey pasternak dean of the faculty of psychology of the orthodox

sacred technical university for the humanities. we thank channel one russia 1, the ntv television company and the st. andrew the first-called foundation for the organization of the television broadcast of the annual ceremony of the descent of the holy fire. congratulations on the ascent of the blessed fire and the bright holiday of the upcoming easter, christ is risen, truly risen. every christian knows that this is the son of god who atoned for the sins of mankind. when we look at icons with a face, we see christ, first of all,

his divine essence. but how much do we know about his earthly life. what kind of person he was a very interesting question i didn't expect as he dressed in a linen loincloth instead of underwear. what did his hair look like up to here what language did he speak? and there is not a word about the appearance of jesus in the bible, after all, this book is teaching, and not about a person. but we have done research and today we will try to imagine how jesus christ could actually look like the

appearance of jesus is a big mystery. this is a must. a bright image should be oh, i don’t know, golden hair, blue eyes, a thin nose, well, yes, a beard, of course, the edge is free up to here, light-colored clothes and fabric, satisfied, dense. like this, with such a weave into this white robe, the material was cool. such something like silk, but not silk, not high. well, skinny, of course.

in nazareth, in the temple on the site of the house of mary joseph , images of the mother of god of christ from all over the world are collected, and each nation has christ in its own way. the first icons appeared much later gospel events. by that time, not a single one of christ's contemporaries was left alive. it's the same as your portrait will be painted based on stories about your children's great-grandchildren. we don't know anything, and that's the problem. we don't have a picture of jesus, no artistic images. descriptions of the appearance of jesus appeared only 200 years after his death, and therefore it is very difficult to understand what jesus looked like in america. of course, everyone thinks that he looks like a boy from california with blond hair and blue eyes, but of course this is not so. on modern icons, christ is also most often

blue-eyed and a fair-haired man with a perfect oval face. but this image became typical only in the middle ages and in the renaissance. in addition, if it is logically incomprehensible to think why judas had to point to christ with a kiss of a blue-eyed blond among dark-skinned men, everyone would know and it turns out that it is unlikely that the image of jesus familiar to us is reliably conveyed his appearance. on most icons, jesus with long hair looked like this in judea at dawn, these are people, those who took the dinner abstained from the use of wine and grapes. but as you know, jesus did not fit this description. the bible mentions cases when

he drank wine. a miracle in cannigai and what do you think christ was sitting there in the corner looking at those who are there celebrating the body itself and talking about the sinner. yes, nothing like that. i have no doubt that he sang songs and he did not act along with everyone, as it was customary to act. uh, in the scientific community. e in his time. so he wanted to and drank with them, of course, a protest. of course it's a protest. protest unique personalities against statism. uh, society jesus certainly was real. but jesus' protests did not concern appearance, therefore, most likely, his hair shape was like everyone else's. what exactly can be understood from the first letter of the apostle paul to the corinthians? he says that for a

man, long hair is without honor. could he say that about his teacher, so it's likely that jesus' hair was short. i'm guessing he probably looked middle eastern with short dark hair, most likely we move on wavy, and whether he had a beard in the first drawings of jesus was depicted as a beardless young man. there are more than 50 such lilikas in the roman catacombs, dated to the end of the third beginning of the fourth century ad god jesus matured and matured in the images, he had a beard and facial features of a mature man. to answer this question. let's turn to history. the roman state, which owned

many colonies at that time, was essentially the entire civilized world. ancient rome at that time gradually transformed from a republic to an empire, this was the pak era from the novel. all states subordinate to rome lived according to the same standards . cities and roads were built the same way, people dressed the same way. at the same time, it had internal independence and some freedom of action. in the greco-roman world of the first century, it was considered obligatory for a man to be clean-shaven and short-haired, long luxurious hair and beard were the lot of the gods.

only a few philosophers could afford not to shave. but it is known that the jews did not share this roman fashion. the romans generally did not wear beards, but the jews always wore beards. and for a jew, e be without a beard. it was perceived as something shameful unnatural, as far as her beard was not touched. it was holy to touch the beard , which means that the beard grew, as it grew. so it was not recommended to cut it e the beard was a sacred adornment of judea. and so jesus most likely looked different than we used to imagine, most likely, he wore short dark hair and not a long beard. he had dark skin and brown eyes. we may have

figured out the facial features, we would also like to understand what kind of physique christ was. the new testament describes the routes of the wanderings of christ during his sermons. so we can easily calculate the distance that he overcame. judging by the gospels, we can say, in modern terms, that jesus christ and his the students introduced a healthy lifestyle and maybe even a sports lifestyle, it is clear that they did not go in for sports, as we do now, but these are the transitions that they made during one day. sometimes. these were many kilometers . moreover, they did not walk in sports shoes, not in sneakers, as they now walked in light sandals

on dusty roads. in the gospel of matthew it is written and leaving nazareth came and settled in primorsky capernaum, the distance between nazareth and capernaum is about 45 km. we don’t know for what time christ overcame this path, but we know for sure that he went on foot and judging by the gospels , he passed this route more than once. then he entered the boat and crossed back and arrived in his city. a few days later he returned to capernaum. look, he heals in it and preaches at nightfall. we see him one of the days, he goes to the mountain. let's say, or pray somewhere in the morning, he gets up, and at the same time, this, uh,

very often they move from place to place. well, in general, it is obvious that a hero can withstand it and a hero, but a hardy, first of all, a very hardy person. well, he probably didn't belong to the models. e, means modern e, depicting fashion in the same way, he was not from the summer of an outstanding growth of etiquette so that he could be immediately recognized in the crowd, but he was just a man of his era, a young young man grown up, e, not in luxury and not ubiquity. e, engaged in carpentry. what do you think, he should have been uh , juicy and shibotnikov or a student who, in general, with barely shaking hands can lift 2 kg. naturally, he was a normal man. that jesus was strong and healthy. can say one more fact? after being baptized, he went into the wilderness. at

this place today stands a forty-day monastery. here christ spent more than a month in fasting and prayer. he didn't eat or drink for 40 days. can a person go so long without food and water and not die? the body at this moment does not receive nutrients, and what happens it is forced to use its own reserves. it must be good health. sufficient the amount of muscle mass a sufficient amount of subcutaneous fat the gastrointestinal tract should work properly. medicine claims that a person is able to withstand a full forty-day fast, but only being absolutely healthy. this means that jesus was a strong, healthy man, probably with tanned and

weathered skin, since he was outdoors under the sun all the time. you can learn a lot about a person from clothes, how old he is. who does he work with and how rich is he? in the ancient world, clothing was also talking. it was possible for her there is nothing to distinguish from the merchant warrior from the patrician from the tsar from the nobility. the roman empire had 15 million slaves. every third city dweller was a slave 90% of the inhabitants of

galilee were peasants who found themselves in increasingly difficult conditions due to growing taxes. the main difference between the roman citizen in clothes was that it was not for nothing that the virgeli wrote about them. the rulers of the world, the people dressed in togas. the clothes of the slaves consisted only of a short-sleeved tunic and a thick cloak. the jews dressed approximately the same. how did all the other mediterranean peoples dress in during this time they wore a shirt and over a shirt. the cloak, the only difference was that this cloak had to have a fringe, which was reminiscent of those miracles, uh, that the lord performed in their ideas from egypt, uh, but it was

such a minimal deviation from the usual way of clothing. what was the clothes of jesus in many pictures, we see christ in a long white robe, did he really dress like that? in the time of christ, long clothes were worn only by rich people and only on special occasions. it showed their high status in one of his sermons. beware of scribes who love to walk around in long robes and receive greetings in public assemblies. from this we can conclude that he himself hardly wore long clothes. well, as for the appearance of the jews, it is unlikely that they adopted a lot from the romans, rather something from the greek. in any case,

if we talk about clothes, then these are extremely simple accessories. well, first, a linen loincloth , uh, instead of underwear, and then, uh, a long one. uh, the tunic is something like a chiton and hematia or a raincoat. uh, on top. e, the tunic in the gospel of matthew is written and his face shone, like the sun of his clothes they made him with white, as the light of this description of the transfiguration of the lord, the apostles were very surprised to see. christ in a dazzling white robe, respectively, we can conclude that before the transfiguration, his clothes were the most common made of undyed wool. christ without a

doubt wore sandals, they wore them everything is simple, because it is impossible to walk on stones with bare feet for a long time , you will erase the heels. in the caves near the dead seas and fortresses of the mossad, sandals from the time of jesus were discovered looking at them, one can imagine what shoes christ walked in. so to summarize, most likely, jesus was dressed, like all commoners , in two woven chiton gray, a faded scarf made of wool on the feet of the sandal. if his clothes somehow stood out from the rest of the people about this, they would definitely have mentioned it, as, for example, they did it in the description of his predecessor john the baptist. the bible says that he wore a

rough camel's hair girded john's clothes are described with a leather belt, because they were not the same as everyone else's. since the jews at that moment was a vassal state. rome, its ruler was subordinate to the roman emperor. the most famous king was herod the great, whose cruelty is still legendary today . oh, he was told better to be herod's pig than his son. the bible says that it was he who arranged the massacre of the babies. killing all the boys of bethlehem under the age of 2. but herod was also famous for the fact that he rebuilt the temple of solomon and built port to caesar.
