we are at the faculty of philology. belarusian state university, where those people who love languages ​​are educated, there is a unique specialty here, this is a specialty dedicated to classical languages, there is no such specialty anywhere else in belarus, and students of classical philology study such ancient languages ​​as latin and ancient greek, it seems what may be interesting in these ancient languages, but it is... these languages

​​largely laid the basis for many others modern languages, these are romano-germanic languages, and the greek language largely influenced the formation of the church slavonic language , the alphabet that we have today is in fact a revised alphabet of the greek language, when we talk about the history of our region, we must understand that this culture was largely formed... in the format of christianity, because writing appeared precisely after - here - christianity appeared, and many texts of christianity were written precisely in ancient greek and latin languages, so studying these languages ​​will greatly help us understand our culture, our way of life, our understanding of this world. classical philology is recruited once every 4 years, and this, as we can already see:

it is a rather rare specialty, only 20 people are recruited every 4 years, and the relevance of this specialty today lies in the fact that there are a lot of texts, including us on the territory of belarus was written... both in latin and in greek. the history of our region is also unthinkable without knowledge of these languages. now i am a second-year student at the department of classical philology, and when i entered here, my main goal was to study these ancient languages, because when i entered the magistracy at the minsk theological academy, i was faced with the fact that for in order to study the holy scriptures qualitatively, it is necessary to turn to the texts of the originals, and... and the texts of the originals , the holy scriptures, they are written in ancient greek, this is the new testament, in hebrew the old testament, and of course, one could independently study, delve through the jungle of these languages, but it is always easier

and always more correct when there is a tradition of transferring knowledge, so i was very lucky when i met arina vladimirovna krichenko at the minsk theological academy, now she is the head of the department... of philology and thanks to her today i am studying here at the philological department faculty. students of classical philology study many different languages ​​during their studies, including ancient greek and latin. in addition, another language that is studied is english, it is the second language of the specialty, along with this i study polish as an elective, as a teacher at the academy, at the same time i am now... deepening my knowledge in hebrew , since i teach it at the academy, from ancient languages ​​i study ancient greek, latin, hebrew, church slavonic, and from new languages, living languages

- this is modern greek, english, russian, belarusian polish, why does a priest need so many languages, the apostle paul, in one of his letters there are words that in the church... service, so someone chooses the path of service through charity, through business, working with the sick, with prisoners, but for me i found such a way of service in the study of the holy scriptures, because , in fact, the holy scriptures for christians are the basis, the basis, and all other types of service flow from the holy scriptures, and for me here is the first basis, the first beginning... is the holy scripture, and studying it, for some it may be enough to study it through the texts of translations, through its interpretation, explanation, but i was always interested in knowing how this text sounds in original, very often

during translation, some shades of meaning are lost, sometimes the style is lost, and sometimes the rhythm of the poetics of the text is lost, it is always very interesting to find out exactly how this text sounds, in the original, for example, in the holy scriptures, for example, in the old testament, there are a lot of books that ethical, but when translated into any language, this poetics is lost, so when we open these texts in the original, they begin to sound like a song, like poetry, one of such texts is the psalms, because initially the psalms were written for in order to sing them, and these are the kind of songs that were performed in ancient times to the guzli, to the psalter, such a musical instrument, but unfortunately, in translations, although very often they try to preserve this specificity, this poetics, it is lost. last year we had a first-year subject, introduction to classical philology, this is a subject that allows future philologists to understand what awaits them in the future, uh, what they will encounter,

what they will study, and one of the topics that, which was part of this course, this is a topic related to inscriptions: including inscriptions that can be found here on the territory of belarus, and when we come to churches or churches, we very often encounter various inscriptions, they can be in different languages, these are inscriptions in greek , in latin, in church slavonic, and if church slavonic is a little simpler, these are texts that we can more or less read, then the inscriptions are in latin or greek, they remain closed to many people, because people do not know the language, how read this, don't know where to find the translation, so we conceived a project that would allow us to collect in one place, if not all, then most of the inscriptions that can be found in belarusian churches, last year we started such a project, and the first places,

where we visited is synkovichy, a temple in the grodno region, famous for its antiquity and the fact that there is numerous graffiti in latin, greek and... languages, and nesvish, also a fairly famous place for the history of belarus in the farny church, where in which you can find a lot inscriptions in latin, and of course, when we arrive there, we, someone simply admires the view, someone admires the frescoes, and a philologist, when they come to such places, the first, very first thing that he sees there, he sees inscriptions, here - we tried to collect, systematize, translate them, and as a result, last year we presented the first results, we organized an exhibition, which is now traveling around belarus to schools, to other universities, to colleges, and through this exhibition... and including future students of philological

faculty can find out what awaits them here, that philology is not boring, that it is alive , that you can not only sit in it, read books, but also learn about the world, learn about our history, and sometimes it is a whole adventure about how to get this or that inscription.

for many clergy, the minsk theological seminary academy is an album. for a long time, the minsk theological academy was together with the seminary in zherovichi, but through the efforts of the honorary patriarch-exarch. metropolitan filoretta, now deceased, the minsk theological academy was moved to minsk, for which

a special building was built, which is located right in the center of minsk and is a pearl for many of us. bishop filoret was distinguished by his subtle, refined taste, and the building in which the minsk theological academy is located today is a symbol of this taste that the deceased possessed. and today , for many, the minsk theological academy is the home that feeds and teaches new knowledge; today, at the minsk theological academy, there are advanced training courses for clergy who some time ago we graduated from a religious educational institution. today the minsk theological academy is the center of education for the belarusian exarchate.

the academy has three specialized departments, these are the department of biblical studies, the department of church history and the department of apologetics, those departments that prepare future specialists who will subsequently serve in parishes in special synodal educational, synodal church departments, and some of them will remain here as future teachers. now i'm combining my receiving education at the minsk theological academy along with teaching biblical hebrew in the master's program, in the first and second years. biblical hebrew is very important for future biblical scholars, since the old testament is written in it. and when we read the apostle paul, then the texts from the new testament, we, of course, have in mind that they quoted the old testament, which the savior and the apostle read and heard in hebrew, and knowledge of hebrew actually helps us

to penetrate deeper into the contexts of scripture texts, into the structure of these texts, and as a result, better understand what the apostle paul wrote about, what the savior taught , well, in addition, the department of biblical studies itself prepares future specialists in various biblical disciplines, who will then help in teaching in parishes, who will lead sunday schools, prepares specialists, who will be able to conduct various conversations in educational institutions and schools. in principle, the entire education system at the minsk theological academy is built in such a way that the output is a ready-made specialist who could serve in various parishes in the exarchate, and some of the graduates today carry out their ministry outside the republic of belarus.

well, from the corpus of the old testament that has been preserved today, and in the 20th century, the so-called qumran caves were discovered, where some other texts were discovered, but in principle, this is all part of the holy scriptures and traditions, therefore from the old testament, from the biblical hebrew , except for the bible, nothing was preserved, of course, later, already in the jewish tradition in the jewish tradition, prayer books were written on in hebrew, this was written by the talmut - this is a collection of interpretations in hebrew, but for us they already have such a secondary meaning. mashahaya hu-shehey uma shanasha hu sheya a-shah kol hadaj

tahadhamash. what was and what will be. and there is nothing new under the sun, this is the book of ecclesiastes, one of the books of the old testament , in which king solomon, presumably the author of this book, sets out his teaching, including to his descendants, and this book is in many ways the result of the life of king solomon, his searches, and the verse that we just read, is located at the very beginning, the ninth verse of the first chapter, where king solomon reflects on the fact that on earth everything that was everything that will be, it once was, once happened, and as he himself writes, there is nothing new under the sun, in fact, a phrase that will later become popular in many languages, when groups are small it is always very easy to find an approach to each person, it is very easy

to communicate, it is very easy to see a person, in this regard the minsk... theological academy helps uh in education because they are small groups, small classes, all this contributes to studying individually with each person, but even in the case of large audiences, there is always a chance to interest all people, we know various examples of many teachers who, coming to a large audience , taught in such a way that they were listened to behind this is the breath, so here everything depends on the person and on the teacher and on the student , whether he wants to listen to it, whether he doesn’t want to listen to it, whether the teacher himself wants to teach or not, and any teaching process is just a question the relationship between student teachers, teacher teacher, if both sides are interested in receiving information, in gaining knowledge, then such

a lecture will always be interesting, even if it were the most boring, as one of my familiar teachers said, if you want to understand something, start teaching this subject , so of course, i like teaching, this is another way of gaining knowledge, obtaining some information and in many ways, of course, in the church it depends on how the sacred decides the beginning in the church is the word obedience, which is usually not accepted to be abandoned , now one of my obediences is teaching at the theological academy, but if suddenly... the beginning decides that i am needed somewhere else more than here, then i, as a priest, will be ready to go to that place of ministry next, but for now, of course , teaching is one, one of my current places where i carry out my ministry, and i hope that i will bring benefit here as well.

today, dear brothers and sisters, we are with you we celebrate the third parental saturday, which ends this year, with this in this post, and

the church reminds you and me of the importance of remembering the conditions, remembering that, as the holy scripture writes, god is not the god of the dead, but the god of the living. now we are in the church of the holy great martyr george the victorious in the city of baranoviche . it is located almost immediately at the entrance to the city, as if greeting those entering the city and inviting them to prayer. this temple was built just recently; last year was the fifth anniversary of consecration of this temple and its rector and builder is father dmitry boena. when the temple was being built, one of the main ideas was to maintain the temple in a single style, so that there would be no messiness, so that nothing in the temple would distract

believers from prayer, because the way the temple is arranged very often affects the internal state of believers, for a very long time, father dmitry was looking for where he could paint icons, how to paint them, in what style, then one day bishop stefan told him about one icon painter, who is originally from bulgaria, and now lives in st. petersburg, and tells him that he is a good master, a good icon painter, he painted another chapel near baranovichi and father dmitry, having gone there, saw the icons, he really liked them, they order from icons from this master, and now all the icons in the church... almost all the icons, letters from this author, my whole life is connected with this city, i was born here into a family of just ordinary workers, my mother works at a factory as an engineer, my father and a woodworker

at another factory and in principle ours amounted to nothing is not particularly different, the only thing is that later, when we began to analyze our genealogy , it turns out that along one of the lines, right up to the 18th century, at the moment, there is a priestly line, and there were... priests and decons of panamaria, people, who help during worship, in the last of that branch who was connected with the church, it was my great-great-grandfather, konstantin travin, he was the regent and leader of the church choir in the nizhny novgorod cathedral, which was in the kremlin. unfortunately, only the great-grandfather has survived two music books and his photographs. during the soviet period, my great-grandmother, fearing, was subsequently forced to destroy all documents related to his activities as a regent, his notebooks, but when we started

looking for information, this was the first photograph, the first documents that i came across when we started study our genealogy, and then, when i began to grow up, at the age of 6, my grandmother took me to church for a service, it was just an ordinary one. day without any holiday, in the temple there was service, liturgy, there weren’t very many people, but i remember this day specifically as a day when in silence without any fuss, and for the first time i could pray, of course, then like a child, just maybe without special prayers, but for me, this day was remembered as the day when i first consciously came to church and communicated with god, the priest and i, we are all ordinary people, and therefore, of course, in each of us there are some sinful principles, sinful passions that gnaw at the person who is present in it, and what is very important here is how we

we perceive this sin, the holy fathers teach that sinful passions should be redirected to good, there is in church tradition in church literature, the concept of righteous anger, when the anger that exists in a person is directed for good, for example, to fight sin, or when the soviets recommend that if a person is angry, then redirect the energy that he spends on anger to some good deed, this is the law of conservation of energy, it is still relevant today when a person redirects his negative emotions for some positive ones affairs, positive activities, and this is even consistent with modern psychology, when there are some negative emotions, there are negative feelings, do not keep them to yourself, do not engage in self-gnawing, but redirect...

them to some positive emotions, to good ones deeds, the holy fathers teach about the same thing, so that the sinful beginning is redirected to doing good deeds, therefore, when i, including myself, feel the beginning of some sinful passion, then i try to redirect it to some good deeds, and if it in relation to people, then according to the thought of one of the saints fathers, we must learn to always see something good in a person and then...' the ability to see goodness or goodness in a person will allow, if not completely remove, then minimize the anger that is present in relation to this or that person. happiness is probably when a person is in his place, when he receives a return, when he sees that what he does benefits both himself and as a priest, when he sees that

benefits are brought to people, and so on that the name of christ is glorified, and for me happiness is that i can come to temple, i can communicate with people, the fact that people come and ask questions, the fact that students are not afraid to come up and talk, the fact that i have the opportunity today to openly tell people about christ, about the gospel, to share that knowledge with them, which i received at the seminary at the university, and happiness, for me personally , is just being with the people and being...

paleshuks are these people who live in harmony with nature. what will happen is that we will fall - this is our health, and my grandmother was a herbalist, i found out later, a strong herbalist, and my genes passed on and i started collecting herbs. when this little oak tree grows up, about 20-25 years old, it can be used to make our bandar dishes. the greatest wealth is happiness and freedom. this is honey, and an apiary, and a museum, and a village, and my river , everything else that surrounds me, this is my life, watch polishuki’s project on the belarus 24 tv channel, on the air news now, yulia pertsova is with you, hello,
