very often they are overwhelmed with the selfishness of malice by those evil deeds, and whose parents are satan, that's overcoming darkness and evil is, in fact , the main meaning of the life of any person and a christian in the first place, if a person does not strive for this, then he very often becomes callous . he very often loses the most important thing, and at the same time, while maintaining outwardly human appearance, he often loses his inner one. therefore, this ability and desire of a sincere person to repent of his sins to turn to god is very important in our such in a purely rational rational world, when we are used to evaluating everything exclusively from pragmatic positions, namely faith as the apostle says, this is confidence - this is the expectation that our hope

is precisely that, inspiring and main, what keeps human life and peace. now every person involved in the miracle and waiting for the descent of fire, he is in such a state , and for the sake of this experience, people just aspire to jerusalem and the tomb of the lord. and exactly. uh, here's the blessed saturday moment when the lord, sabbaths and shows us that hell did not swallow him up and let us remember the words of our famous prayers sting. where the hell is your victory. the beautiful word styles, i’m in spite of the fact that tonight we will listen in all temples of this word and a prayer

addressed to everyone who fasted and did not fast, who prepared and did not prepare, on which the grace of god descends, e, when people they really aspire to god, they pray for the descent of this grace and they all feel it very much, here in the temple, there really is such a state, as in the one soul. ah, everyone in attendance. children of christ, this is a feeling, it is very strong at this moment in the temple, and everyone feels it. this is an amazing state. here are some slow motions. eh, you know some kind of immersion in this grace is happening. this is the mystery of the holy sepulcher, which is grace, which is present there all the time and is now felt especially strongly by everyone. we can say that this is the secret of great

saturday, because when the lord was in the tomb, his disciples, those who followed christ, they are not just abandoned the savior but they were very confused. they showed. eh, such confusion, the doubt that put them on the verge of some kind of internal collapse turns out. so that's it. what the savior taught, but it turned out that with his death it was over for them, this state did not last long, but it was also a certain test of the soul for the apostles for all who loved christ because this love was still preserved. despite this, it was obvious to the soul that the disciples showed, despite these fears that seized them due to the fact that evil. well

it seemed outwardly that she won on the cross, despite all this, it is still a great saturday. this is a state of special peace, when there is a gradual assurance of the resurrection, when this expectation of a new thing that will change the whole world, it obviously embraced all the disciples and those peace-bearing women who would come to the tomb in order to anoint the body of the savior with peace wishing to remove the stone from the tomb, this stone is now located just in the porch of the angel in the deepest. they still believed and knew that something was going to happen. let be they still could not instill this faith to the end, but love for god it attracted them to the group. they still understood that a life became a savior. it has not yet ended, that the earthly days are over.

the lord is his stay on earth, but the new life begins. the gospel of the new testament , let us remember how the great saint of georgia, david of garij, approaching the gates of the holy fence of jerusalem, did not dare to enter the city and took the symbol of jerusalem, the symbol of the holy sepulcher kamushkin. and not daring to enter with these pebbles, he went further reached georgia, but the patriarch of jerusalem had a vision that all the grace of jerusalem had left the lapel, and he sent a man there to see who was there near the gate. who took all the grace of jerusalem and carried it away. and it was david of gorij, er, a humble saint who dared not enter the holy city. he considered himself

unworthy. to be in this holy city to be near the lord and we know that when the lord died on the cross, the veils of the temple were torn in two, the earth shook. uh, many came out of the tombs of the saints preached in jerusalem, as the evangelists tell us, again it is difficult for us to believe in such special miraculous knowledge that was associated with the earthly ended of the savior, but it is obvious that this feeling, e earthly catastrophe, is associated with the triumph of external sin. it was among the people who were at the cross and were in nature. no wonder, uh, our holy church notes. e hmm the saint in the great kosvetaya e mary of egypt, with whom such a

strong rebirth took place at the tomb of the lord. she always came to gates to these ancient gates of the tomb, like the great sinner, she thought that she had the right to enter, but some kind of force did not let her into the tomb . lord she could not cross the threshold of a thousand people, maybe more sinful, and they crossed this threshold and entered , but she could not, and she did not see this power. who won't let her. she can't go in there . and that's just when she repented. she repented very much and decided to completely change her life at that moment. she was able to cross the threshold. she entered the tomb of the lord and even oblabi halls of an ancient icon of the mother of god and this icon spoke to her is still kept here in the right limit in the church. eh, the forty martyrs of

sebaste and there is also a small russian image, where e mary of egypt is talking to the mother of god on her knees and promises her not to sin for more than 40 years. she was in the desert and there she learned to pray , and when she remembered her sins and her old sinful life, she simply threw herself on the sand. or the sting could lie down all day, and then get up and pray again. and during great lent we are somewhat once we remember mary of egypt, and even we have the state of the egyptian seas for a week, how high. ah, the church. uh, but appreciated her chasing. this is the only saint who, hmm, is devoted to a whole reading of the life during lent just for edification. uh, a lesson to all christians about how

a great sinner can change his life. actually. this applies to any person. there may even be not such a terrible sinner if he compares himself with life, but with the reverend mary, but she was able and achieved a lot own life. and this means that every person who repents of those sins that he has, he can definitely achieve something, and therefore the reverend will be so especially close to the wall that whole weeks of great lent will be devoted to the lord’s group that represents from itself a huge complex associated with special places on earthly life e savior, which, as it were , materialize these events that have the deepest spiritual meaning for us

alive and golovfa and at the same time a lot, uh, and continuity goes here. uh, in finding icons once, when there was a service, the jewish policemen approached the greek ministers and said that the icon is crying there and the greeks hmm went to the limit in the dungeon and saw that the icon of the mother of god had been renewed and tears were flowing. uh, uh, an icon, then a lot of candles were put in it, it was a little hmm, even so it became so smoked it was like that. they would have given the icon to, er, a nun hmm of the monastery of mary magdalene, they restored it and now it is in the treasury. she is in a special pilot under glass. this is a great miraculous room, that is, the mother of god is

also present to the icons in her own way. this is a very soul, a believer is waiting for this and for the presence of the mother of god, so many miraculous horses were found, and not only in the holy land, but in russia, mother george e, the sisters found the port arthur form of the mother of god on a passionate journey in an antique store, this was the second the appearance of the mother of god of port arthur was the first appearance in kiev on the eve of the russian-japanese war, and then, uh, 10,000 kiyans, monks and pilgrims, uh, brought in a nickel and ordered uh to the artist. this wonderful icon, which appeared to the sailor of sevastopol in prayer, so that port arthur would not fall in the

mother of god said that there would be a terrible war. you win here, uh, so write how i stand, and she stood in the iconography, u veronica and kept a miraculous treasure. veronica is also, uh, a saint who is connected with the last uh with an armchair, and then women wore such a large scarf, huge on their heads, veronica saw that uh some a man all wounded and with bruises carries a cross. him his her home. she took off this board, gave it to him interestingly, handed it to her, she turned around and saw the face of god of that person there. she realized that it was a prophet. she turned around for a fee from the whole crowd and began to show everyone that this cross carries.

this is a great person. look, it was reflected on my dress, and this is how this icon arose from veronica of the appearance of the mother of god in jerusalem, on a passionate path in this antique store, it was like this in veronica’s ecography, amazing for the second time then i must say that the russian generals did not understand. uh, the blessing of the mother of god, to take it to pur-arthur and place this icon there. they didn't. this is how she appeared for the second time. and mother george now found e and bought and transferred to vladivostok the icon of port arthur , a warrior who appeared in jerusalem, protecting the russian army. she is now in vladivostok well, in the russian church, he almost has many icons of vladimir kazan toli, my sorrows, which were also such difficult

moments in our life history and the mother of god not without reason. we turn first of all after the savior because we know that through her prayers miracles can be performed through her prayers. we can have a special consolation, which we often lack in moments of grief, despondency of some moods, because the mother of god, who stood in front of the cross, which obviously participated in the burial of the savior, she experienced some kind of not real torment, the torment that was predicted still rich in seed, when she brought the divine baby to the temple. he said that your soul weapons pass. that is, you will, uh, suffer, just like 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 moments of sorrow. this is necessary, because it is the mother of god that is very much to us. let's remember. e help of the tikhvin mother of god, who came. uh, under petersburg to the swamp from byzantium, remember, it was an amazing case, uh, there was no st. petersburg yet but the tikhvin icon, uh, before the end of byzantium from the greeks passed to russia, uh, the bright ones shone in the swamp, and it was in tikhvin and its name became the tikhvin icon began to defend russia and we know the story, that until recently she was in the tikhvin monastery, and then she was lost and they

saved her. hmm, they saved her. e, a german officer, oddly enough, he pulled it out of the burning temple and handed it over to the latvian priest, who, together with the german army, went to europe, the icon was saved, then he was transferred to america and father promised that if the icon would be preserved by his family, it would be preserved by her. 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 was already transferred to russia; now the procession has ended and the patriarcheophile is now unmasking , he is removing sugar. and he enters in one pod with candles into the limit of the angel. removed the thread. yes, as

they say, they search him, they examine him so that there are no lighters, there are no matches, and he humbly, undressed in one lower vestment , he enters, and behind him we see a representative of the armenian church, who also enters with bundles, but he remains at the limit of the angels, just this cup, uh, with the stone on which the angel sat, and he will transmit lit fire. through a special window on the other side, the patriarch of jerusalem will transmit if the fire descends. and there will already be representatives of the army from the south. here we see the lights go out and the minutes of waiting begin, we know that the patriarch he kneels before the false savior and and reads a prayer of a special prayer

for the ascent of the blessed fire, he prays for the whole earth and now at these moments he becomes the ecumenical patriarch in fact, he prays. now for all the inhabitants of the earth, for the earth, so that this year the lord has mercy on our homeland, our earth , so that all people remain in peace and live as the lord created them, and at this moment the representative of the armenian church is also kneeling in trigel. angele also begs the lord us all for our sins. sometimes the fire often comes down, judging something is already happening. yes, sometimes the fire goes down quickly, maybe it happened now. or maybe it's just flashes, right? people are waiting for

great tension, let us pray for peace. we will pray for peace, lord, save our land in the world tense moments and remember, now you have seen these outbreaks. they were on screen. we are waiting for the convergence of the holy fire on both sides of the ghoul from those windows that we said, now the holy fire should appear there. the people are quiet now, we are waiting for the very main event, which transforms christian life, because the

holy fire is for us a symbol of the resurrection of christ. it is the resurrection that gives the meaning of human life, it is on sunday that it gives us eternal life, and we know what the 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 kingdom of heaven. it can begin even here in earthly life in the heart of man. as the savior himself said. eh, the kingdom of heaven, it is within you , therefore, the resurrection and the transfiguration of the inner is the inner cause of each person.

we hear cries of joy, but so far have not seen anything. no, the bells are ringing. this means that the fire has come down. do you hear the bells? obviously they started calling as if foreshadowing this event. yes, there was a fire. finally. we see him, this is the only place on earth where we

can say that christ is truly risen congratulations to everyone on the resurrection of christ, the lord had mercy on 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, now the runners are already running, spreading the fire, rushing remarkably. now it does not 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 on airplanes, the fire will be delivered to many cities in russia about which you can find some joys on the website of the theater apostle foundation.

he does not burn, you see, what joyful words are hell, 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 churches of our country this joyful age will not only be heard. christ is risen, great triumph, great joy, the grace of christ unites everyone. because the resurrection of christ is the triumph of life, the triumph of eternal life, victory over evil and the devil who dream of humanity in ancient times, but in a different way than when

communicating. to god, there is no internal transformation, people must change, then there will be victory over evil and fire is just a symbol of this transformation, 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 barbara the host and very grateful to the priest andrei pasternak, dean and steel of the psychological faculty of the orthodox sacred technical humanitarian university we thank channel one russia we thank the russian delegation of russia 1

tv company ntv iphone of the holy sexual apostle andrew the first-called for organizing a 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. the live broadcast from jerusalem from the church of the holy sepulcher has just ended, they watched the miracle of the descent of the holy fire thousands of viewers in russia, it will already be scattered by evening in different cities of our country. we continue in ukraine to prepare a large-scale provocation with the use of weapons of mass destruction to accuse russia of massacres of civilians that washington and its allies have already developed three scenarios. one is scarier than the other. today, the

ministry of defense of our country warned that the global task is to create a new reason for sanctions on the political isolation of moscow in the documents presented today by the russian ministry aleksey konopa understood the defense. provocations by amateurs from the armed forces turned out to be apparently not very convincing even in the west , so now, as the ministry of defense says , professionals are going to take up the matter. at the very center of decision-making, the ministry of defense of the russian federation has information about the preparation by the united states of a provocation with the aim of accusing the russian armed forces of using chemical biological or tactical nuclear weapons. this plan has already been developed in response to russia's success in holding a special military operation that russia allegedly intends to use non-conventional weapons in ukraine , us representatives have been declaring for more than a week, clearly preparing public opinion on the response to the use of nuclear weapons. biden's aide, sullivan a. as early as february 27, the us postpere at the un accused russia of future attacks against this background, the us state department positively

viewed, previously approved by the deputy secretary of state for arms control and international security junkinson ukraine up to 400,000 sets of previously protective equipment, 39. rhb reconnaissance and 15 different striker vehicles, and even this year, the pentagon delivered almost a quarter of a million ampoules of atropine to kiev, it is needed, just in case of defeat by biological or chemical weapons, everything whose stocks russia destroyed another 5 years ago, which was confirmed at the international level, but in the united states itself, it means both in controlled and in laboratories in ukraine , the development of such poisonous substances is expressly permitted by law . if there is no reason, it needs to be created in the usa worked out for decades only in the 21st century, the famous test of powell's knee at the un, after which half a million people died in iraq, then several productions staged in syria, all after that turned out to be fake. but this is so in the arab republic. this did not stop the united states from depicting

a russian nuclear strike, as the ministry of defense believes they were going to azov steel, until the storming of the plant was canceled by vladimir putin, the second scenario with a strike on slavic kramatorsk, the ministry believes unlikely, but there is a third with a real one. according to the opinion of chemical weapons, such a scenario is planned to be organized at the chemical and biological facilities of kharkov and kiev, a provocation at nuclear power facilities, primarily the zaporizhzhya npp, which is under the control of the russian federation, is not ruled out. in addition, the ukrainian leadership is seriously considering the issue of striking a radioactive waste storage facility at a former enterprise, pridnestrovian chemical plant in the village of kamensk, dnepropetrovsk region. will the authors of a possible provocation for reliability. in fact, use weapons of mass destruction or limit yourself to a favorable picture for yourself now. it is unlikely that they will say in army intelligence one way or another the goals that justify any means are clear in advance and in general, and in the west pensioners do not really hide them. the use of weapons of mass destruction is aimed at accusing russia of using prohibited types of weapons with subsequent implementation.

the so-called syrian scenario, in which the state is subjected to economic and political isolation, as well as exclusion from international organizations, including the un security council without the russian wind in the un the united states with britain and france will untie their hands in the warringguard. of course, china will not go anywhere from the security council. but if they believe in a provocation, it will be much more difficult for even the largest geopolitical players to remain on the positions of common sense the russian armed forces destroyed several hundred ukrainian neo-nocists overnight with high-precision weapons, as well as armored vehicles and ammunition depots attacked militant positions, including including army aviation pilots, helicopter crews, k-52 legator destroyed an infantry fighting vehicle tank and a fortified stronghold, missile forces and artillery destroyed more than a thousand military infrastructure facilities. as a result of the strikes

, three ukrainian mi-8 helicopters were destroyed; russian air defense means. in the area of ​​​​the new dmitrovka, kharkiv region, a su-25 aircraft of the ukrainian air force was shot down in the air, and 15 ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed during the night. including one in raktar tv2, zenit’s crews of shell-s missile cannon systems shot down in the air two tactical missiles near the army of the luhansk republic, with the fire support of our military, pierced several sections of the defense of ukrainian nationalists at once, retreating purposefully attacking residential areas and the target of militants this morning was the city of pervomaisk a little earlier.
