three pies, if it is joyful and must be pronounced. you should even muslims should probably say wonderful toasts to the big god for st. george, you also have it happening somewhere. yes, somewhere not. because i was brought up in this ossetian tradition. there, too, everything is very difficult. there are different parts of ossetia called differently. but i was brought up in a different tradition, therefore, according to this tradition, i tell you, dear, may the great god and saint george and your husband and your relatives and your friends and may everything be fine. thank you and please, my dears. viewers of the same and three pies three pies three pies that two pies - that's another event. all the best.

involuntarily, when we recall such events as your throne of st. tikhon, then with the mind's eye , even regardless of the fact that from those times they are already separated by a large space of the same time, filled with many events. we, however, especially those who know the history of our country and those troubled times. we can not

imbue. that, as it were, the spirit of confession, which was then in the air. and this confession was the lot of not only the clergy, not only the people of the church, but in a sense. all russia all russia because it is a tough extremely dangerous turn in the course of our national history. when was the most holy tikhon elected and when did the more than 200-year period of the absence of patriarchs end? but even looking at those newsreels, you understand? what a great

joy people had, and besides these movie sketches that time, because there is a lot of evidence. people perceived as the greatest historical event. re-creation of the patriarchal ministry in holy russia and what a huge number of people participated in the procession? by the way, that procession frightened the godless clique that came to power. and they saw the danger in the great love that the people had for the church. and we know that very soon the joy of orthodox people associated with the enthronement of his holiness tikhon with the restoration of the patriarchate. on russian soil was replaced by the great tribulation associated with the most difficult trials. suffice it to recall the creation of an

artificial creation by the authorities of the renovationist schism, when those who tried to rapture, including the patriarchal throne, and lead the church , being non-canonical and completely graceless. many of the correct conclusions and conclusions of the local council, which had chosen his holiness tikhon, were wanted to be realized in life. but since the grace of god has departed? from these false spiritual leaders, nothing came of it, and the best decisions of the council, which were aimed at renewal of church life, but strengthening of faith. became a reason for orthodox people to renounce

renovationism; no one renounced everything that patriarch tikhon did and called for together with the local council. and very important deep, but also deeply ecclesiastical changes in the life of russian orthodoxy were to take place, and everything would have been accepted without any conflict, without any schisms, without any bewilderment, but when the renovationists, deprived of grace, tried to rapture the heritage of the cathedral and interpreted at their own discretion these decisions of the council to bring down on the russian church a large number of some completely insane reforms start a married and pescopath. starting from the complete secularization of church life, then our people

turned their backs. here is an example of my mother's testimony. she was born at the beginning of the 20th century, and by the time of the renovationism she was, although young, but an adult. and she visited st. andrew's cathedral on bolshoy prospekt of vasilyevsky island, which was then a pulpit. renovationist metropolitan platon, and then she told her family and i got this telling how she was amazed by that. that a certain gentleman in a blue suit and tie ascended to the bishop's pulpit in the middle of the church to begin the liturgy to put on bishop's clothes? like the pad, the yacons took off this

suit from him and untied the tie, and then put sacred vestments on him. you can imagine when this picture was nasty. traditions of persuasion we are, in a sense, the faith of our people, so we did not accept renovationism. and these renovationists failed to take the place of st. tikhon. although they demanded from his renunciation. but the saint, instead of renunciation, signed a certain testament. i have already said something about what i found, sorting through the papers of the moscow patriarchate, printed on a typewriter of that time. on such a dilapidated sheet of paper of that format , there are no such formats now. the text of the appeal of patriarch tikhon to everyone and signed

with his own hand in pencil by st. tikhon. and the most holy vladyka risking, of course, himself. he spoke about who came to power. what wolves are trying to plunder the legitimate canonical authority of the church and urged not to receive raskolnikov, not to commemorate their names, not to serve with them, not to pray with them. here at the same time only storage of this letter. and i also spoke about this, but i will repeat myself, since we are talking about this very important page in our church history. my pious grandfather only buried this letter and for the fact that he gave it to someone to read. he was arrested and sent into exile. this is how the godless soviet government, at that time

protected the authorities of the renovationists, trying in every possible way to bring down the most authoritative tikhon. nothing succeeded. and the renovationist churches stood empty, and the people, as they say now, voted with their feet for the canonical church. but it must be said that after this period of dangerous and difficult. already after the death of his holiness tikhon , even more cruel times came, associated with the terrible persecutions of the thirties. then the war and everyone thought that since the russian church was so actively involved in the patriotic and spiritual education of the people, that the hand of the persecutors was becoming the hand of the persecutors and for some time the persecutions were suspended, but then with the coming to power. khrushchev, they

flared up again with renewed vigor, and the sixties were marked by the closure of churches, the closure of monasteries, and the destruction of shrines. and the new arrests of the clergy, not all without exception, but those who posed a danger to the authorities? here is such a story. and why are we talking about this now, but, because if it were not for the authority of st. tikhon, his impeccable authority? and complete trust in him and in all those whom he put to pasture the church, lord and god. if not for this authority and not for this trust. that's difficult imagine what could be with our church. therefore, the memory of illuminators is quiet. the present

moment is no longer just a mental memory with which we remember outstanding people of the past, but a prayerful memory through turning our fervent prayers to it. may it never run out. from our hearts and from our thoughts. saint tikhon , with his humility, his wisdom and fidelity to the lord, in many respects predetermined the further development of our church, which, again, passed through the crucible of trials and came to the present day. when are we here? in the same building, in the very same room, where the cathedral of 17-18 was held, we stand in multitudes, like the praying orthodox

russian community, united by one faith and one hope in the lord, my word today, of course, is a special appeal to our church youth. you have to bear witness to the lord, to the church. about her christian beliefs she probably has most of the twenty-first century. when you are already none of us the older generation will be. and you have to pick up this special one. important in his succession, the baton so that in 10 through 20 in 50 and maybe in 60 years to remain faithful witnesses. by the feat of the martyrs of the confessors by faithful witnesses of their faith

, it is not known in what future conditions that you will always keep the faith in the church faith in the heart of the church loved fought with all sorts of attempts to divide the distortions of thoughtless reformism and everything else. what our church has gone through and remained united, i pray the lord that this is the generation you belong to. was worthy of great deeds. your holy predecessors none of us has the gift of providence, none can say what awaits us. but no matter what happens, we believing orthodox people are called to keep the faith, orthodox love for our fatherland, to be really the support

of the spiritual life of our people and the heralds and preachers of the word of god, i really hope for all of you. i believe that your generation is russian orthodox people when i say russians. i mean all those who are members of the russian orthodox church. although we often belong to the red ethnic group, but so that the russian orthodox spirit of you is present and displayed in your life and in your ministry. and may the blessing of god abide over all of us, especially over our orthodox youth, strengthening the faith, guarding against temptations and giving strength with humility and confidence in the good will of god to go through life.
