in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit, today is the great 20th feast of the transfiguration of the lord. we all know in honor of what event this holiday established? an event that is especially miraculous against the background of everything that happened during the earthly life of the savior. the lord calls the closest apostles to the mountain, high, and is transformed before them, that is, changes in appearance. he is not just a man from

galilee, whom the disciples revered, calling him a teacher, amazed by his miracles and words, but he is something more, that simply a great teacher, the testimony of this divine presence, on mount tabor, were witnessed by those disciples who... saw the ancient prophets next to the savior understood that this was not really a man from galilee, but the son of god, and in all likelihood this transformation became possible because the disciples were ready for it, because on...

the savior asks the disciples, and who do people consider me to be? well, and they began to list, some for elijah, some for moses, some for some other prophets who were in the past, but who in your person seemed to have appeared now, then the lord asked: "well, and who do you consider me to be? and peter says something unexpected, absolutely not stemming from any of the conversations savior. the lord had not called himself that until that moment. peter says: "you are the christ, the son of god, that is, you are the messiah, the savior of the world."

this simple fisherman saw in his teacher not just a strong man, a miracle worker, but the savior of the world promised by the prophets. and the lord then says: flesh and blood did not tell you this. that's right, the divine spirit gave him this knowledge. the apostle proclaimed the great testimony that their teacher, jesus of nazareth, was the promised savior of the world, and the apostles carried this news throughout the world, but it would seem that the lord performed so many miracles, showed so much mercy to people, like no one else, like none of the prophets, like none of the miracle workers. but they did not believe and did not

accept the savior, so in order to strengthen the faith of the disciples, and they were faced with a terrible test. from these mockeries, and even more so from a shameful, crucifixion death, but what does it cost him, what does it cost him, not just to come down from the cross, in one moment to destroy all the accusers, persecutors of his torturers, but

nothing happened, and this was the greatest a test of the faith of the apostles, so that they would not doubt... his divine nature, would not doubt that he is the savior of the world, the lord shortly before his suffering, and is transfigured before them on mount tabor, revealing his divine nature, divine glory, and as if to confirm this divine nature of the savior, the old testament prophets and... i and moses stand before him. this is such a wonderful holiday today, which strengthened the faith of the apostles. in the fact that the savior, jesus, their teacher, is the savior peace. this holiday makes us partakers

of life, death, resurrection. and the saving mission brought by the lord for us sinners. to this earth, and which gave the opportunity for this salvation to each of us. these treasures are blessed and illuminated, by the power of the holy spirit, by the sprinkling of the holy water, in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit. amen.

lord have mercy, lord have mercy. let us pray to the lord. in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit. the feast of the dormition of the most holy theotokos is the most important theotokos feast. in all

historical capitals of russia, be it kiev, vladimir and moscow. it was in honor of the assumption that cathedrals were consecrated. which were not just cathedrals of the city, but cathedrals of the whole country. and today the assumption cathedral in the kremlin remains this main temple of all russia. the cathedral of christ the savior is the cathedral of the city of moscow. the assumption cathedral is the cathedral of all russia, in which the patriarch of all russia holds services. this is a historical, special spiritual value, with which the development is connected, among other things, the formation of our national self-awareness. the assumption cathedral is the place where all russian tsars were crowned.

this is the place where the most important events took place, both liturgical and church-wide, even state-wide. it is within these walls. today we are celebrating a solemn service in honor of the most holy lady of our mother of god. mount athos is called the inheritance of the most holy mother of god, the georgian people and the georgian church call themselves the inheritance of the most holy mother of god, we have never specifically called russia the inheritance the most holy mother of god, but probably nowhere in the world are there so many churches and monasteries dedicated to her holy name, and where these... days associated with the veneration of the most holy mother of god are celebrated with such spiritual power, and where

prayer is addressed to the most holy mother of god with such power. and we know that even in the most terrible periods and days in our history, the russian people, the orthodox people of russia, never abandoned their prayer before the queen of heaven, received help and support. this is exactly how it was in difficult, very... difficult historical periods, when moscow - the center of russia was in danger, so it was in the city of petersburg, when a terrible enemy surrounded the city, trying to strangle it with hunger, blockade, diseases, people came to churches and prayed to the holy mother of god, as their mother, as the heavenly mother, addressed their ardent... prayer, which was torn from hearts permeated with enormous

suffering, and the queen of heaven always answered such prayers. the fate of our country itself, it is little understood, if we exclude this divine dimension in our history. well, how many enemies there were, not a single european state, probably, there were not so many enemies, as many powerful forces. gathered in order to enslave our fatherland, and all who know history well are deeply convinced that the enemies were most often stronger than us, stronger than russia, but these enemies never managed to destroy our fatherland, destroy our people, therefore , read:

fear from his orthodox faith, the lord did not renounce our country, and the most pure queen

of heaven did not remove her amaphor from it, because that this divine providence was accomplished for the fatherland, in response to the suffering of the martyrs-confessors, in response to the strong faith of our people, which, of course,... and was the most important factor and the main reason why no enemy has ever managed to defeat, destroy the country , exterminate the people. may god's blessing be upon our fatherland, upon our president, upon the authorities and armies, and of course, upon our church, the martyr, the confessor, preserving. speaking of all historical trials, faith and fidelity to the lord, the veneration of his most pure mother,
