[000:00:00;00] in order to get out of special moments, turn to god with a prayer, because the procession that is now beginning , it marks a lot, starting the path that the royal path, which the lord began last sunday, which we call weeks bai right , sunday, when jerusalem greeted him as a king, as a liberator from the hated roman look , the palm branches pastilled us, according to the traditions of the accident, a sign that, finally, the king had come, and now only a few time for several days and no one. uh, several days pass at the gates of judgment to intercede for the saviors and the already crazy crowd is screaming,

that is, we remember this royal procession, which turns out to be six on the dolgov chair, the move that is now being made on one side. it is also the burial of the savior, and on the other hand, the beginning of his resurrection, sunday, of course. that mystery that is part of the faith of every person, because it is absolutely impossible to explain it rationally, it is impossible to prove it, this is in a scientific way or somehow justify in a way. this is the question that each person can solve only for himself by turning to god, and this personal meeting with god, of course, should happen to every christian on the day of resurrection, therefore, starting the procession with the patriarch and the philosopher. on the one hand, we must remember this triumph of the savior, and his

earthly humiliation, and ultimately about that resurrection, which is saving for all mankind. slowly , the procession of the cross is slowly advancing, despite all the restrictions of pilgrims, there are many sausages help. please note that hmm is in the procession. and no, no one from the security service. uh, israel's security services here represent, uh , the monks of the holy sepulchre, brotherhoods and kavass, they protect their patriarch, and not uh, they keep him in a ring so that the patriarch can make

a procession, well, or flying. uh, prayer procession of the holy fire when the threefold circumambulation and we know that the number three it is special to everyone. e, christians, we knew, we are these special events, e, well, we have not yet seen this on the screens, but we know that the representatives of the armenian coptic and syrian clergy. before the start of the flight , they took e, blessing philosophy from the patriarch, kissing his hand. they also took the blessing to participate in this ceremony. by the way, saying hmm still uh, well, for thousands of years. uh hmm muslims are always very uh watching the timing of the holy fire and uh usually. well , this is, there is such evidence of an arab

source. thousand years, where he described how the muddin of the jerusalem cathedral mosque imam and e, and the peace of the governor of jerusalem e, came to the church of the resurrection of christ, sat down at the tomb and then e wrote a report to the capital of the caliphate about how the descent of fire took place and e according to the speed of descent. uh, concluded both crops or crop failure. uh, this year and these signs, they hmm were preserved uh, among, and the arab population of jerusalem and palestine even at the beginning of the 20th century, but it’s hard to say now, uh, how it will affect the harvest with

uh, the current development of agriculture, but uh, i'm sure. what, uh, here are the last one and a half the hours for all the people in the temple were , uh, very, very exciting. well, firmly convinced that with the ascent of the blessed fire. or maybe for some time the well-being of this earthly world will be connected, it certainly exists, that while the fire descends, the lord still gives us time so that we can repent, so that we can cope, so that, indeed, we can visit our lives. uh, something more important than our earthly affairs, something more important than just some formal observance of certain rituals in those cases, when we do this, we light the water there, fly easter cakes, and so that we understand what is behind this. when does a person turn to god when he reads the gospel when he

participates in the sacraments? he, of course, unites with god, and meeting with god is, of course, the most important thing in the life of every person. probably, m-m andrey's father you with your experience of participating in the broadcast. you can say that probably, but every time it remains unpredictable. rise of the blessed fire. we are waiting. uh, and we are each once we hope that this will happen, but quickly, but the sources say that the prayer of the patriarch and sometimes reached several hours. and uh. this was also this was also very very difficult. but uh, when we are shown the patriarch. and we, uh, can see his

focus, his um, his prayerful attitude. and now, uh, we all turn only to him. here, as if we had done everything depended on us and dependent and e, now e have betrayed themselves into his hands and only now from him. ah, our fate depends. here is some such a feeling now. well, the procession of the cross from ancient times was part of a special worship service, which was not performed anywhere else but around. now, when the surrounding passage will come to an end, uh, the patriarch and the 12 archimadrites who accompany him, uh, they insert in front of the doors of the angel's limit. in front of the gates , the silent prayer should have time to shine, that is, the prayer

that is usually performed at the evening service. that is, this is part of the evening, well , which is already on. the procession of the supply of the holy fire is nowhere, perhaps this worship is more in the world and is done. so what we are seeing now is a unique event that only happens once a year in a group. lord well, in general, the first to describe this service in uh. in our church there was uh alexei afanasyevich dmitrievsky, a well-known liturgist and uh, patriotic uh, secretary of the imperial orthodox palestinian society, he twice attended the summer of uh, the holy fire and e, described it by inserting it into

the jerusalem typikon. well, traditionally, as we always say in prayer next to strawberries russian pilgrims are participating, and we will now see in the plot about the meeting that took place on the eve of the holy day. eh, the most patriarchal patriarch started for you. together, you know, we have small changes. since we're live, everything changes. ah. we had a meeting at the russian ecclesiastical mission in jerusalem, uh, where the uh representative is. e, bishop konstantin of zaraisk, vicar, who came from moscow, his holiness patriarch of moscow and all russia, together with the head of the russian spiritual mission, archimandrite alexander, prayed for unity

orthodox church. a delegation in russia reads a traditional prayer. ask for the peace of jerusalem - these are the words from psalm 121, which is also a special prayer throughout the world. naturally, we pray in our troubled difficult time of our brothers russia in ukraine and we want the trinity cathedral of the russian spiritual mission of our diplomatic corps to come. vladyka konstantin

e and e reads a prayer let's listen, supposedly all the saints, you do not give life to the good with your spirit and sent it to him forever. yes, we are returning with you. oh, back to the temple resurrection. eh, despite the fact that e the procession continues, you can see that e the passage that was originally made here, it is already all e, merged e, pilgrims. e, everything, denser and denser smack, and each other and the bearer is getting more and more difficult, but you have to pass between them. well, that's it, it's going very e slowly,

not hastily. and the human sea. it just filled all the space. the entire space we also want to announce that representatives of our delegation will bring the holy fire. uh moscow and uh from moscow it can be transferred and other. uh, cities and places. e russia , the grace of fire will be delivered to the cathedral of christ the savior and during the patriarchal easter night service. you can get it, in addition, everyone can light their lamps from the holy fire on sunday. in the churches of moscow in the moscow region, this list of churches can be found on the website of the foundation of all val andrey the first-called well , in addition , other guys can get information about the transfer of fire on the websites and parties there are quite a few of them. we are not in

a position to describe them in more detail, but in any case, holy fire. we very much hope that after its convergence it will be available to all russians. e, praying e pilgrims who could not get to jerusalem could not get it here directly, but they will be able to do it through our delegation. the holy land has, of course, possesses such a blessed power that, having arrived, having been in it once, a man can his heart. maybe it will catch fire so that he then puts it down. uh, all my life uh for her good and uh, now i remember u more about the leaders of the imperial orthodox palestinian society this year. we

are celebrating 190 years since the birth of vasily nikolaevich, a cunning ordinary official. uh, ministry of finance when did you come, uh, to the holy city uh, and this trip is a pilgrimage. forever turned his life upside down and returning to st. petersburg , he devoted 25 years of his life to the holy land, founded the palestinian society worked. in it , another person was engaged in schools, farmsteads, hospitals. e, a pilgrim twice who made a pilgrimage to the holy land - this is mikhail petrovich stepanov, 170 years old, to whom we celebrated in february of this year. a surprisingly but 40 years. he was in the service or as a princely four grand duke sergei alexandrovich of the great book

of the reverend feodorovna very top hat, and a brilliant officer, a military bone, such a participant in, uh, the russian-turkish war, and here are these two people. e, the cunning stepanov became the leaders of the palestinian society and, e, were engaged in the construction of both the sergius and alexander compound in jerusalem, two temples of the galilees, which were built for a-a arab e orthodox communities in the village of mzhdely in cani of galilee, uh, they hmm their names are not forever inscribed in history uh, the church of mary magdalene in gethsemane, which we already talked about today thanks to their efforts , the scientific study of palestine began to open russian schools, but perhaps most importantly was that they could through very complex negotiations to organize cheap travel

to the holy land. and it opened the doors to palestine. and then a real russian pilgrimage riot began, because boom, because. e became. it's all cheap, maybe thousands russians began to come to the holy land. well, the lamps that are on waste are also in what sense a symbol of the russian presence? they were made in russia , so we see how the procession of the cross is already coming to an end and the patriarch and he, apparently, he or the twice- deified patriarch was not visible, right? well, in general, in

the church of the resurrection of christ, of course, there are a lot of hmm evidence of the russian presence and uh, we don’t get tired of it in our broadcasts, uh, talk about it and many times we mentioned this about ee canopy, which are now in 2005 nadka, and which a copy was made in rostov icons, which are being restored by the nuns. eh, the monastery of hmm marina gethsemaya, and the lamps, here, which we also told today with a chair, are still the imperial family. e donated for hmm in general, building e in jerusalem was , of course, very, very difficult, because to imagine what jerusalem of the xi century is and in comparison with those beautiful examples of

russian architecture, the sergius compound or even a hospital, the russian spiritual mission, uh, and uh, without the activity of another uh person, uh, whom i also cannot help but recall today dmitry dmitrievich smyshlyaev and he was the first merchant from perm, who, uh, at the end of his life decided, uh, almost for the last time to go on a pilgrimage to the holy land, but to bow hmm to its shrines and come to russia and already purify, but hmm by the leadership of the palestinian society. i decided to offer him, uh, not to leave the holy land , but to work, and he became the first authorized

palestinian society and built two pearls of russian palestine, sergievskaya and alexander compound in jerusalem and this construction. hmm can rightfully be called a heroic epic , the outskirts of the ottoman empire without roads, infrastructures, the weight of a trained workforce, uh, and city buildings were created with the necessary engineering services, by the way, it was done on sergievsky compound a. the first in russia, the first sewerage and water supply in jerusalem, before that , of course, there were no such innovations in the old city, and the main labor force was made up of palestinian slaves

hired in the surrounding villages and, smyshlyaev about a completely atypical concern for builders, but his organizational talent made it possible to attract not only arabs, but it was in his group that there were italians and greeks and it was, uh, a single friendly team that, uh, was able to create, uh, architectural masterpieces. so we see that russia did a lot for the holy land and look at this and the representatives of penza in perm kaluga moscow petersburg as if all of russia is now standing with glue and praying together and these are all our ancestors they are all with us. they are all in those the deeds that they did for the holy land and uh, our task, of course, is to remember.

if not about all of them, then at least some of them, and honoring them is also such a tradition that in ancient russia there was a tradition of doing good in russia, related to the fact that vera is idle, dead, as the apostle of the dacians said and what he called for savior , what is really, uh, just calling yourself a believer to perform some external actions, as we said, this is not yet an indicator of long faith, but a real believer necessarily must somehow external and work hard, therefore ancient times. here we were remembered, and now and then in russia, a strip of many other holy people, who in their lives necessarily helped the poor poor, er, abandoned lonely people, er, and it could do good in different forms. it will also manifest itself in the upbringing, uh, of orphans and

in helping people who find themselves in a distressed situation find some kind of life path of their own. that is why the 19th century is the golden age of russian charity, when in fact, it was decorated with a lot of shrines in the holy land. actually, archimandrite. antonin kapustin, he also acquired a lot of the holy land in order to consolidate this russian presence here with a part of precisely this, one can say the mentality of our compatriots who wanted to serve god in this way and help those who need it and serve god by the fact that various shrines of the holy land were adorned, and in the temple of the lord's sunday and many others. cities, that is, charity was part of life uh

people who outside of her themselves did not think like christians. in a sense, these are examples for modern people that we very often do not think about our neighbors; very often we do not think about whom we can and should help. that is what the lord really calls each of us to. and, by the way , i can’t help but note that on january 16 of this year , the 130th anniversary of the consecration of the church of the apostle peter and the righteous tariffs, just e memories of tariffs, were celebrated. its inhabitants talk about the help that e, she, e, provided to the suffering e for father antonin kapustin

which, uh , built this temple with the help of the imperial orthodox polistine society. it was a temple, too , of such a kind of concern for russian pilgrims, because hmm pilgrims came to jaffa, and the port is very complex java heavy there are a lot of rocks, and uh. they were immediately in hand. those people who really wanted to earn money and , uh, put them in hotels with high prices. well, you can imagine, if we have 80% of the pilgrims were peasants, then every penny counted there, and father antonin , uh, decided that this was the plot that he bought

the very first, when he first arrived in the holy land, what he would do for russian pilgrims. here is such a native russian house so that the pilgrims can be. eh, as cheaply as possible, but at the same time they found coziness care, and most importantly, uh, so that they have a place where they could pray and from here the broken-hearted people began to break out after that land and, er, they returned here when they returned home. it is not for nothing that the imperial palestinian society set itself such a goal precisely to care for compatriots, who are sent to the holy land and did a lot here already mentioned by us, the holy rev. sergei alexandrovich of the very target council, her husband. we

know that they took great care to ensure that the life of the ladles here was arranged safely. well, in a sense, it is a tradition to preserve these now modern imperial presnya society, but the society continues its activities, but, by the way, pay attention to us. uh, they show us kuvukli and above the entrance to the club the grand duchess or zaveta fyodorovna and in memory of her murdered. eh, let me remind my wife that he killed grand duke sergei alexandrovich by blowing up. kalyaev in the moscow kremlin, and she really wanted to hang a lamp over the entrance to the kuva in prayerful memory of him, but in accordance with the status quo, the total number of lamps cannot change and the patriarchhemian allowed her only to change one e, an old

greek lamp for a new one, but also, uh, one of the uh, efforts that so, especially in recent years, uh was concerned about the grand duke sergei alexandrovich, this uh was the desire to make, uh, a russian liturgy on the last coffin. lord's sorry. e. he did not succeed in the russian russian liturgy, but there was never. hmm never. e, as much as e would not like it, there is no russian church, but the head of the imperial orthodox church. palestinian society it was like that. uh, big, big pain. here we see, by the way , now that people are already taking pictures at the northern window, through which we very much hope so. hmm. uh, fire passed. by the way, look for the patriarch is coming. uh,

a representative of the copian church, no matter how we there were problems. in this regard, the father andrey to him very much hope that there will be nothing he has no right to. and the fact that e liturgy is celebrated on the tomb of the lord. we are performed as we said, then at the appointed hour it is the orthodox liturgy that it becomes the first astronomical day and in fact. eh, it is precisely the jerusalem patriarchate that has such a right to celebrate the liturgy here at midnight, when, in fact, the russian poloniki. priests can also join this liturgy with the blessing of the patriarch such opportunity. was and as far as i understand, i still go. although the russian liturgy may be or is being celebrated, all the same, all orthodox can meet the paska as it should be at the divine services that begin here. well

, we see that the procession is gradually ending, the patriarch rises to the entrance to the entrance to the club. now they have to take off him, ah, all his holiday ones. ah, liturgical robes. here we see they shoot on the leg. yes, he should remain in the cutter and in the small house. that is, he walks in circles already incomplete in the hierarchal vestments at that moment , the patriarch was also always searched by the turkish guards. thank god that now the israeli police do not search. and on the lord's group

should read a prayer all over the world for all christians who have gathered around the prayer ascension crucial moment. now we all begin to wait for the savior and pray with special zeal.

exclamations christ christ is risen now will be the most difficult, because the cameras will turn on and it will seem that these are flashes of fire, but every time it will be this there will be disappointment. and now the fire always comes down very uh, unexpectedly and uh, of course, against our will and from our expectation. sometimes he descends, not in the quok li, but in various places, even among the pilgrims who

hold their hmm bunches of candles, as she sang today at the liturgy instead of a surgical song. you know, we are waiting and contemplating at the same time, and what is his secret, after all, is not at all in the fact that the lord

sends on the right day and hour. to us it for assurance, believers and in understanding, unbelievers in the assurance of the faithful that we are ourselves, and that we ourselves are all the church to its fullness of conciliar prayer. here we all bring fire from heaven. and as long as there is a church and there is a believer, as long as it takes place in an extremely grave. lord yearly. the mysterious descent of the blessed from me is one great saturday, which means that god has not yet left us, has not left the earth of the world redeemed by the calvary sacrifice from the slavery of sin and death. we especially pray to those who are in the form. those who are experiencing persecution and hard times, of course, we pray for our brothers

in the kiev-pechersk lavra at such a time when we we want to wish all our brothers in ukraine the patience of the faith of prayerful fortitude and we hope that the lord will strengthen us all in our e-country and all orthodox christians outside e-russia, because, but god does not have, neither the living nor the dead. god does not have any boundaries that would separate people, when people love each other, when they strive to fulfill the commandments of christ, then the lord is in their midst, as he himself commanded. and fire is the symbol of this people.

well, we rejoice very much. this is the only a place on earth where you can already say christ is risen is truly risen. they have already run with bundles of candles in order to convey to all believers outside the temple of a speed walker, the bell ringing announces the ascension of the blessed fire and everyone in joy and jubilation receives his deposited patriarch philophus, who has just left already with fire through the city. we see how the fire is distributed from one bunch of candles to another, how it spreads, like the sea throughout the temple and, of course, we always remember the words of the saint

the horse came down just a few seconds ago, and i became one of those lucky ones who at that moment turned out to be the approaches of the church of the holy sepulcher we just lit our candles 33 candles from the holy fire and just congratulated everyone who is around me around me there are representatives of russian society. departure, well sent the words christ is risen exactly here in jerusalem feast. easter comes into its own already in the middle of the day on holy saturday , first in jerusalem and then throughout the orthodox world. where is this fire, which in the first seconds, according to some believers can wash this fire, which they bring to their parishes, churches, their metropolitan

cathedrals in the picture of grace. the fire passed quietly. despite the fact that the situation in jerusalem was very tense and the police reduced the number of participants in the ceremony, nevertheless , a lot of people gathered in the temple. i think there are more than the declared two thousand people and the feast, which is now marked with blessings, is splashing out on the street. the gates, where the fire is already waiting for the believers , the whole orthodox world has come to this fire and there is a visible evidence of the miracle of the victory of life over death and light. on darkness. christ is truly risen. we thank e, channel russia 1 ntv and channel one, as well as the fund

of the holy apostle. vasny's rapper for organizing the television broadcast of the annual ceremony of the descent of the holy fire with you was the presenters, rita borisovna butova and professor priest andrei pasternak , christ is risen, congratulations to everyone the upcoming holiday everyone. we wish you a good mood of a bright festive state, which, of course, we all really lack, so that indeed easter of christ would be with

each of us on a holiday. look at the kitchen and the blue bathroom in the bathroom, the toilet is separate, while it is quite spacious when excellent. fine. all see you then. yeah, it's okay, i'm gone. and tomorrow forgive me, just a meeting with a lawyer, then three more clients in a row and out of town,
