and there is no need to look after him. look after vera in the melodrama live your life. watch on sunday on the belarus 24 tv channel. we have maintained peace on belarusian soil , not a single belarusian soldier during the time of independence set foot on foreign soil precisely to wage war, danish labor in fact, but to live without war, because it must be completely immersed. yes, it doesn't work in this situation. this is, of course, the most severe tragedy of our century. this is the division of minds, the division of the people only in unity only honoring their understanding of origins. don't forget about history. don't forget your origins. and then we will move on. now, if we belarusians treat our state, our city, district, courtyard, as a common cause and work for it. i think that

we will avoid war with the project objectively. don’t miss new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel. when joining the service, our main duty is to carry out our work efficiently to ensure road safety . what will help our citizens live in world from dating work purpose of life labor service laws work, you can work somewhere else . this is what is written down in our code of service to the people and the law, so with us everything is in service; we have no such concept of work. i believe that the divisions wrote. the arrow is visible, the service in our service looks like our whole country is coming to visit everyone is coming here. the first one greets you, in principle. arrow well

, our suspicion has always been completed primarily with all technical devices and communication means initially, what we have is being developed somewhere. in the boom, we immediately look at all these technical parts and equipment. we work at the highest level, in addition to ensuring road safety, we provide practical assistance to other road users and the territorial division of the traffic police, we also check how they perform their duties, communicate with citizens, and communicate with other road users. make it humane, first of all. and secondly, how would you like to be communicated with, if the employee is specifically suspicious. arrow he is already an example in himself, not only for others, but for himself. and, if he is for himself, then for others he will also be an example to him. initially, everyone looks at it , it turns out that if a person is an employee directly boss, he should remain a person, and a prime minister. he should be only for himself, and

others will look at him within limits. total. in the end. i think it should be originally. these are the values ​​of professional education and psychological training of the employee. this means working with everyone categories of citizens that we have must be a worthy officer and a worthy person. eh, so that behind his back you have been retiring for a long time, they said, he was a worthy man who served, gave everything to his homeland and his service to the people. good morning on the air of yang belov’s program and gear, perhaps each of us has our own

place of power. where we go over and over again in search of peace, our story is about how picturesque and secluded a corner is in the lonely countryside. velikaya krakotka, as fate would have it, became a place for monastic brothers the orthodox monastery in honor of saints zosima and savvatius of solovetsky appeared on the map of belarus differently. it has long originated from the 19th-century architectural monument of the church of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary, the restoration of which became the starting point for the birth of the monastery in dense forests with a lunar man. far from the noise of big cities is the village of velikaya krakutka. it boasts a rich history and picturesque surroundings that were formed under the influence of the last glaciation. ancient with us all we see a beautiful view of the landscape

our temple, which is located on the big hill. our ancestors specially built the most beautiful place in the highest place, so that , first of all, it would, of course, be visible. and all corners of the surrounding villages. even if you drive from afar in the village, villagers, you will still be able to see the dome of the cross of our temple and it is no coincidence, of course, that our ancestors built elevated places in such places, so that the very sight of the temple would direct our hearts, our thoughts, to the sky to god after that how svyato za simvotievsky was founded in the village the monastery of great kropotka has become an important place of pilgrimage and everyone who has visited here at least once notes the special atmosphere, which journalists have already called the belarusian athos.

this is a small village of 152 households, about 70, but such a place is unique on the planet, because despite its small size, there are currently three operating orthodox churches here, so this place, of course, is blessed, gentlemen, and it is no coincidence that it is here our people, pilgrims, flock from all over belarus for spiritual consolation from many corners. even in russia they come from distant places and find here, well, the consolation that they are looking for and in ours, this krokotsky silence, probably, this is the name of prayer, because if you are silent here, then only the lord speaks with the voices of his creatures, says the architectural dominant, village stone church from the late 19th century to the 20th century. the shrines suffered the same fate as other temples. it’s hard to imagine that 40 years ago the church site was dilapidated, but

thanks to the efforts of caring people, throughout the area, the shrine rose from the ruins and acquired a modern appearance. the temple was built in 1883. our local parishioners asked german craftsmen to help these architectural masters, who at that time were building churches in belarus. they brought these huge rubble stones here, called rubble stone. the temple was built with everything necessary for the craftsmen, and these german masters built this beauty, they built it for many, many centuries, as we see it now, that to this day, thank god, these walls, they have been preserved, are in very good condition. to in 1991, under the leadership of the parish priest, archpriest alexander borovsky , the temple was restored on november 8th. the first service took place here.

at the same time, the first of us, our existing brothers, appeared in the village from among the rapists of the light and the assumption fire monastery, one of those who stood at the origins of the great karakotsky monastery was then still young and in novels. micah , a very serious illness befell me and therefore i could not be in society, and therefore, with the blessing of the clergy, they sent me painstakingly, and we see that the stroke of god and the stroke of man we must always listen to. uh, god's call god's blessing. i saw that even that i was sick. at first, of course, there was a murmur, a natural human mouth at the beginning. well, then i accepted this as the will of god, this serious illness and began to pray with hope in god, believing that this was necessary for me for my life. i accepted this disease, glory. god was cured and then we see how this illness

led me to where my heart longed for solitude, more solitude, probably in belarus i was even in the background, and even now it’s very difficult to find such a quiet, changed place. to our beloved crocodka, so at that time father hieromonk father lazar was already here, i came here as a novice, and the two of us started. here, monastic life over time, other monks settled in the great krokodka, souls who were asked for peace and tranquility to accommodate the brothers and the village council allocated a former school building, which then became part of the monastery complex with an apiary , a pond and agricultural land. at first, of course, very little was needed, but you know, i still remember these as the best years, because when there were very few people, the fewer people there were, the fewer problems, so, of course, when it was quiet, peaceful solitude, then,

of course, they have both prayer and the lord, always nearby , therefore, over time, naturally, new people came and began to come, new workers, pilgrims at first, and they gradually stayed here and gradually gathered here, our brothers lived more and more, while we were in our houses there were two houses, only in the village the council allocated everything to us, thanks to them. and the children were still at school. well, the school is now our current building of our monastery, then it was just, uh, a school, in which, unfortunately , there were already five children left by the time we arrived here, and there was a time in the seventies when it was built, as local residents say, up to 300 children were crammed into two shifts. we arrived, only five left. and it’s also no accident, probably, fishing. god that first they taught children, and now monks learn in spiritual life; monks

already learn the commandments. christov also in these classes. now these are monastic cells. by 2005, a particle of the holy relics of st. zosima savvate and herman of solovetsky wonderworkers was delivered to the skete. on july 4 , the archbishop of novogrudok, lida guri, illuminated the house church in honor of the reverend elders . today, belarusian pilgrims can venerate the particles of the relics of the holy elders of the solovetsky monastery. in 2005 , the house church was already finished. um, they've already finished my construction. he came to us there in the building water, kagorin is our lord and he asked after whom they would like to name the house temple, naturally. well, naturally, then we didn’t even think about or dream about the monastery ; the bishops and brothers suggested it and advised us. we say that well, it’s as if we have privacy here, a secluded place. well, what

an apiary, and since ancient times, there has been such a legend that the venerable zosimas. you know, they're the bee patrons of beekeeping. i think many people know about this, especially beekeepers, and they pray to them very much. well, we're talking once again the lord has already brought us here to this secluded place, and we have a large monastyrskaya apiary, we ask you to illuminate this temple for the honor of the great dog. solovets well, the lord smiled. well, he says, so be it in 2005, in the seventh year, through the labors of the porters of the monastery , a major overhaul of the building of the church of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary was carried out , during which they repaired the roof, erected a bell tower , installed a dome over the altar, and partially rebuilt the temples. inside already on june 29, 2009 , the sacred synod of the belarusian orthodox the church established a men 's monastery of great krakotka in memory of the holy venerable solovetsky wonderworkers for sims. and

gradually a full-fledged monastic life began to be organized in the monastery; new brothers came to the monasteries. and especially revered shrines, including the icon of the venerable solovetsky wonderworkers with particles of their holy relics, as well as a daily list of the athos icon of the mother of god quick to hear. here the divine liturgy is celebrated, and one can pray together with the rapists. the monasteries come, believers from different corners. countries. after all, our goal on earth in life is the salvation of our soul, eternal life. this is our purpose in life. and when our body suffers, when the apostle paul, our soul is healed and that’s it. the lord sends us he is our doctor. he is our creator, and he knows what medicine to send us, if we do not cure our soul while we are on earth, then we, unfortunately, will not enter the kingdom of heaven, therefore our goal on this earth is to cure our soul, and our temples our monasteries. this is exactly

what is called a hospital clinic. life of a monk is subject to a strict schedule, where every minute counts. every minute does not allow the soul to be lazy ; the brothers are helped by household chores. far from the comfort of big cities , you have to rely only on your own strength, prayer work is replaced seasonally by work on the land. and in the house , 12 brothers obediently prepare food for gifts and treats for pilgrims in the monastery, and ordinary believers who want to work honestly and join the righteous monastic life help them in everyday matters. in addition to worship, our brothers. naturally. every has its own obedience. that’s because, as i already said, we must earn our food with our own hands and with our labor. this was the case at all times, only those that had already reached perfection. the holy elders went into

the desert, where they were absorbed, only the lord. they no longer worked, but remained only in the thought of god in prayer, and the lord fed them for the monks of the great krokotka. one of the main obediences was the apiary, nature itself suggested honey to the brothers. here you will get a wonderful and truly sweet delicacy for a layman, and for a monk it is one of the staple foods. during the days of great lent, the monastery apiary. she is inextricably linked with our monastery, because she appeared immediately when the first monks of the zhirovitsky monastery came here. and gradually, of course, thanks to the efforts of our beekeeper in the canton. he put a lot of effort into creating an apiary a modern apiary a lot very studies information a lot studies literature the goal is to create a good modern classic

that brings. uh, here are two or more tons of honey, uh, in the first days of our monastery, as i already said , the first beehive was never connected with the apiary, the first families arrived to us and the zhuravlsky monastery, because here the area is more ecological. better than bribes , more better than bribes. the meadows of the forest are surrounded by bees - this is god's creation. and of course, even from bees you can learn a lot through hard work. their organizations are very serious. brother anthony the beekeeper brings frames here to this place and then brother trofim unseals these frames , frees them so that he can then take earrings, lowers them into the honey extractor, then here we are we develop them in jars; another important

product on the refectory table is fish; we take it and hatch it ourselves in an artificial reservoir not far from the monastery. it’s just a miracle that god gave us such a beautiful lake. it used to flow here. the jordan river now flows through it. during soviet times , the jordan river was blocked and a fire reservoir was made here. well, the lord has provided for everything. the lord already knew that there would be a monastery here, so, of course, i believe that it was not just that they did it on this site. this is the fire pond and more than 10 years. we rented this lake. in which we raise fish, carp, silver carp, and grass carp. of course, when we took it, it was very overgrown. they helped us clean it, thank god, and they started it, helped stock it with fish, and now the brothers are feeding and guarding this lake, of course. it’s hard to imagine village life

without the aroma of fresh bread and baked milk ; the brothers mastered the dairy business perfectly , providing themselves and their guests with homemade treats, making condensed milk cottage cheese and ice cream cheese and much, much more. manufactures. here is our brother dmitry, the skills he acquired. now they came in handy with condensed milk. children love it very much and come from afar to buy condensed milk. ice cream is also from the monastery. well, of course, cheese is very difficult to make. so, especially when it sits for a long time, it ripens this cheese and then it’s also very tasty for the brothers and pilgrims and

everyone is very happy. the carpentry workshop makes artificial products from local wood; nearby they master blacksmithing, in short, hard work of men to maintain the autonomous life of the monastery enough in any couple of the year, but despite the fact that according to ancient traditions , women are prohibited from entering the territory of the men’s abode in the summer. they do not refuse the brothers all possible help on the land and in the garden to accommodate the pilgrims. several houses in the village were converted into cells, and the first time was a small one. i arrived 7 years ago. but in general, by that time i had already been going to church for many years and confessed and received communion and went on various pilgrimage trips, mainly in russia and then something like this. well, unfortunately not enough we pay attention to our country and our holy places. and then somehow i wanted to stop all the terribly foaming. and so that there is

somewhere a place where you can come. she fell into this our decision and came heard that in velikaya krakotka there are, and zosima sovateevsky solovetsky saint monasteries. and then we arrived, it was after christmas, bright week there was generally knee-deep snow here. well, it’s beautiful here . always, no matter when you come here, no matter what time, there is always its own charm and always its own beauty. ahh. and that's when arrived, well, then there really was no abbot from samey. somehow we were simply immersed in this snow-white beauty. it’s not for nothing that even our great songwriter vladimir korotkevich calls this the switzerland of slonim. that is , it was really very beautiful and there was a feeling that i had found the place. this is my soul. it was still not settled. and so she found a place, and that’s it. you stop here. don't look for anything else, and what

is this destiny? then you are the mother of god and just like that this is still the feeling and the longer we drive, the longer we drive. eh, you seem to be convinced of your thoughts. and, of course, here, first of all, you receive spiritual feeding. that is, in general, everyone here knows you. eh, i mean the clergy. and you know, that is, you are with the same person, you confess, you receive communion. you can receive spiritual advice both at work and in your personal life and some instructions. well, maybe even, uh, for me it’s not so much these tips that are important, but the fact that prayer is going on, but the prayer of a person who you there, well, much higher spiritually. this is very important. some pilgrims come to krokutka to help their brothers in their daily affairs and to escape from their own worldly worries; others come to find peace in the silence and beauty of the local nature, but one way or

another everyone comes. some problem is the desire to seek advice from wise monks and for help from the mother of god, but the very peaceful life in this small village is an air that is saturated with the words of prayer. all this can give an answer to any worrying question. we often ask for this in our prayers. a completely crazy thing, something mundane, someone needs an apartment, someone needs a car, some other mundane things are so necessary, like we seem to be in the world. people need things there. well actually we have to forgive. the most important thing is a spiritual thing. and everything else. as the lord says in the gospel, the lord will give us everything else. if we seek first and foremost the kingdom of god, behold, of course i need to work, i need to. naturally. it is we who cannot live without this, work for family for we are a monastery. we also work with our own hands, so we can’t wait to feed ourselves. that there will be some kind of handouts or something else

for us. there is no hope for donations to come, as the lord says, do not rely on the princes on the son of men in her for the wife of salvation, so you always trust in god , be sure to work with your own hands and the lord sends everything you need, both to us and to all christians. the lord will send those necessary in our lives since ancient times , people from all over come to the great crocodka surroundings. after all, here, near a river with a telling name, the jordan river, in the shade of spreading trees, gushes out a spring sacred in honor of john the baptist. to this day, people believe in the healing properties of local water. a lot of healing is already happening. and the most important occurrence is eye diseases. so, when a person takes this water with vera , the most important thing is when he takes it with vera

because everything in orthodoxy, all the sacraments , are mandatory. they must happen with the christian's faith. if there is no faith, then the sacrament cannot be performed, and so it is here, when a person takes this water from the source and drinks it. with vera, she washes her eyes with prayer, drips, and then it happens. just miracles. it is unknown when the source appeared in the pine forest. near the village. there is only information that at all times they revered the local water with special reverence, drank it and believed that , together with prayer coming from the very heart , it was capable of working real miracles. good afternoon. good afternoon, i greet the blessing of the lord, god bless you , help me. thank you god of all blessings.

lord sergeevna well, you just need to wash your eyes constantly. the abbot of the monastery and local residents know many stories about how crystal clear water healed ailments, especially eye diseases, but you should wash your face and drink water from the spring only with good thoughts and strong. by faith in my heart here at christmas i am at the baptist. we have a procession of the cross coming here to illuminate the water. we are also going here in a procession of the cross on the feast of epiphany , we are just going to the jordan, as if in other churches these words sound somehow symbolic. a we really have a religious procession from the temple to the jordan river, probably 10, illuminating the holy water, many paulniks are coming. local semi-our parishioners, pilgrims, brothers, of course, we all gather, light up the water , and draw this water, of ​​course, only by

faith. for residents, a trip to the source has become a family tradition on a hot summer day, pilgrims constantly stop here in the cool shade of tall trees and are in no hurry to leave. time flies, like water in a stream, but everyone catches himself thinking that here the hours and minutes slow down. we are coming here. uh, with great joy, uh, and to this source. and here we live little by little. and the will of god, here are my close friends - this is my godson. same. we came from moscow, the second family, then another third family. we really like it here, and my mother is 87 years old. her vision from this water is perfect, she regained her sight, that is, she has been without glasses for 80 years, seven years now, and now she is looking and reading without glasses. eh, well, i can say that, of course, this place is such an amazing monastery - this is a place where every day the sacrament of prayer is performed

and comprehended. and on the human soul every who came to the monastery is called by god. the belarusian land is rich in holy places that give their special strength to people, each of these places, be it a temple or a monastery, is an invitation to meet god and oneself with one’s weaknesses and passions, traveling through one’s native land and sharing to the history of their shrines. we get to know ourselves better, leaving room for creation. this is the most important thing for which the lord created monastery churches on our land. only for this purpose, no more, nothing more, just so that our souls can come here and be healed treated, because we are all sick . there is no such person as in scripture who would live and not sin, and therefore we all need treatment. the most important treatment is that this is repentance and when it comes we realize that we are sinners, we repent, we come to the temple of god

, we confess, we partake of the body and blood in the sacrament. it happens in the altar of every orthodox church, we partake of the body and blood, and then we feel, how our soul is healed. the lord gives healing to our soul. life at the monastery of the great krokotka is going its own way in turn, quiet joy, communication with god encourages the monks to do new things for the benefit of the common cause ahead autumn rains and winter blizzards, which the brothers will survive with prayer and

warmth in their hearts, so that next year they can take up active work again and thereby preserve this beautiful prayer the place and its history for travelers and for posterity. the program istnost and iango belova was with you . all the best to you. belarus is an amazing country with its interesting past full of legends and traditions , look what a curious thing he found. it's not just a piece of hardware sticking out of the wall. this is

a polish geodetic sign of the kind in belarus . i saw a couple of things with a rich cultural heritage and hospitable people. here you could now wear a luxurious floor-length dress and turn your head to the sounds of this ancient 19th century piano. and don’t even ask what to dance, of course, half of the country has interesting tourist places and unique attractions.
