Happy Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul! The Holy Apostles Peter and Paul are two pillars of faith, two diametrically opposed characters: an inspired simpleton and a frantic orator. The story of Peter and Paul is the story of the diversity of human characters and paths leading to God. “Thou gavest the firmness of Thy Church, O Lord, to Peter’s firmness and Paul’s mind,” says the hymn of the feast. “Peter’s firmness” is courage in the confession of faith and in the acceptance of suffering. No wonder the name “Peter”, given to Simon by the Lord, means “stone.” And “Paul’s mind” is an extraordinary wisdom that has been drawing people’s hearts to God for two thousand years.

❤️ Happy family day, ❤️ love ❤️ and fidelity! ❤️ It seems to me that every person on earth wants to have a strong home, loving parents, a happy family, healthy children and true love! ❤️ On this day, I want to wish everyone true love... to love and be loved! I don't know any stronger and deeper words about love than those that the apostle Paul said in chapter 13 of the First Epistle to the Corinthians. These words are called "Hymns of Love". ❤️”Love is long-suffering, merciful, love does not envy, love does not exalt itself, does not pride itself, does not act outrageously, does not seek its own, is not irritated, does not think evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth: It covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, everything endures.”❤️ Apostle Paul. ❤️ thanks for the wonderful memories - @axenoff. photo - @emauz.a

“What should be done, brothers, To get to heaven? First you need to sit down at the table, Eat a plate of semolina porridge, Then go to the green forest, Find a big tree, And up Through strong boughs Climb to the white clouds. And there - stand on a cloud with your foot, Step on a rainbow with another. And now you can’t get us, And the heavens are all ours ... But, I repeat, We need to start with semolina porridge! Lev Kuzmin.

“I will drown in your eyes, can I? After all, drowning in your eyes is happiness. Come and say: "Hello, I love you." It's difficult... No, it's not difficult, it's difficult It's very difficult to love, do you believe it? I'll go up to a steep cliff I'll fall, will you have time to catch it? Well, if I leave, will you write? I want to be with you for a long time. For a very long time... All my life, you know? I'm afraid of the answer, you know .... You answer me, but only silently, You answer with your eyes, love? If so, then I promise that you will be the happiest ... ". Robert Rozhdestvensky

🌿 Happy Holy Trinity! 🌿 🌿🌿🌿🌿“- Is it the Trinity? And, I suppose, he taught in a book how Abraham received the Trinity as a guest ... How can you not know that? The Kazan icon has three faces, with staffs, under a tree, and apples on a tree. And on the table of bread is a pile and a jug of drink. And Tsar Abraham bowed down, folded his hands and turned his head away from fear. It's scary because. The angels cover their faces, and not only that ... The Lord will go tomorrow, in the Holy Trinity, throughout the whole earth. And he will come to us. What joy, huh? .. You have the Trinity upstairs, in the kivot, too. I know. This is the funniest picture. Three Saints with staffs are sitting under a tree, and in front of them are apples on the table. When I look at the image, for some reason I remember guests, name days. - Right. Tomorrow the whole earth is a birthday girl. Because the Lord will visit her. You have Ivan the Theologian an angel, and mine is Michael the Archangel. Everyone has their own. And the mother earth is the Lord God himself, in the Holy Trinity ... Trinity Day. “I will go,” the Lord will say, “I will look at the Holy Trinity, I will visit.” Adam sinned. What did the Lord say? “Through you the whole innocent land is cursed, that’s what you did!” And it will go. Tomorrow we will pray on our knees, into the ground, for sins. The earth gave Him all sorts of flowers, birches, all sorts of grasses... So we will carry Him like Abraham the king. And we will pray: “Come, Lord, an auspicious summer!” Good, so summer has come. So they sing like this tomorrow: Who is God great, like our God? You are God, do chu-de-sa-ah! Ivan Shmelev. Summer of the Lord.

Everywhere some flower arrangements..., in the interior, in clothes...! 🤷‍♀️Well, what to do when I'm so excited about flowers and magical children's stories... 😉 What fascinates you? What is your favorite hobby, which has long and seriously become an integral part of your life?!?

💙 I congratulate everyone on the holiday of the Ascension of the Lord! 💙 “The Feast of the Ascension is a holiday of remembrance of the Last Judgment. Christ came to ascend to Heaven and ascended to come back to earth. He said: I do not leave you orphans. I will come to you again. (Compare John 14:18).” Archpriest Andrey Tkachev. Ripe fields".

How nice it is to grow your flowers, cut and put in a vase! It's an amazing feeling! In front of you, as you may have guessed, are daffodils! 😉 How they smell!!! 🤗 While I was driving a vase of daffodils home, the car was filled with an incredibly sweet aroma!!! The graceful flower is shrouded in a train of a wide variety of myths. Back in Greece, there was a legend about a narcissistic young man named Narcissus. Narcissus, a handsome youth from Thestia or Lacedaemon, was the son of the nymph Leiriope and Cephissus. It was foretold to his mother that he would live to old age if he did not see his own face. As a young man, Narcissus often hunted in the forests. One hot afternoon, exhausted by the heat, Narcissus, who had never loved anyone, bent over the source to quench his thirst and saw his face. As Ovid narrates in the third book of "Metamorphoses": "He drinks water, and meanwhile - he is captured by the beauty of his face ...". Forgetting about sleep and food, Narcissus spent days and nights on the shore, admiring his reflection, and died of anguish. The gods turned it into a flower, which became known as a narcissus. The mythological plot has been a source of inspiration for many creative people. For example, the famous artist Karl Bryullov dedicated one of his paintings to the famous legend - the canvas “Narcissus Looking into the Water” in 1819. This painting was recognized as one of the best works K. Bryullov during his studies at the Academy of Arts. For this picture, the artist received a gold medal of the second dignity. You can see the masterpiece in the Russian Museum. Narcissists are loved not only by women, but also by men. The great Russian writer Ivan Turgenev called the narcissus his favorite flower. Images of daffodils were decorated with walls in ancient Roman Pompeii. The first European country where the narcissus was introduced was England in the 2nd half of the 16th century. And please note that the juice of daffodils is poisonous, it is detrimental to other plants. Do not mix daffodil with other flowers, he loves only himself. 😉

How nice to give your sister a basket of her favorite carnations! ❤️ Many do not like this flower, but now the carnation is presented in a variety of shades and numerous varieties. The history of cloves has Christian roots. For the first time, a carnation sprouted on Calvary, in the place where tears fell Mother of God. Carnation came to Europe only in the Middle Ages and became popular especially in France. After the unsuccessful seventh crusade, the Saint Louis IX of France, in 1270, undertook a new campaign with a huge army of knights, during which they were struck by a terrible plague epidemic, which neither doctors nor medicines could cope with. Warriors died one by one, the king lost his army in distant lands. And then, in desperation, Louis turned his prayers to the Lord, and according to legend, the king had a revelation - to use a flowering red carnation as a medicine, the fields of which stretched around. Inspired by hope, the king ordered to collect carnation flowers and make a decoction from them, which saved many sick people from death. Returning from a campaign, the knights brought a carnation to France, which soon became a very fashionable and beloved flower. ❤️ What are your favorite flowers? ❤️

Stories of the offspring of the clergy in the book of Maria Sveshnikova

Maria Sveshnikova

On the one hand, the book of the Vesti.Ru site browser “Popovichi. Children of priests about themselves ”- an autobiography of the daughter of the doctor of theology, Archpriest Vladislav Sveshnikov. On the other hand, a story about the Church against the backdrop of the last few decades of our history. But the narration is conducted not only on behalf of the author: the fates of seven more priests are woven into the monologue. Maria Sveshnikova herself tells why the choice fell on these people.

This idea is already five years old, and it arose when the journalist Ksenia Luchenko prepared a collection of interviews with the wives of the priests of Matushka. That book was a great success, and the publisher decided to continue the series. When I was offered to write about the children of priests, I agreed without hesitation. It seemed that it would be difficult for a difficult journalist who has been working in this topic for many years to take nine interviews (such is the structure of those books) from interesting people?!

Taisia ​​Bartova-Grozovskaya with her husband, Priest Andrei Grozovsky

Faces, names, questions to people instantly appeared in my head. The first candidates for heroes were my brother Peter and sister Tatyana. However, the publisher was taken aback: he is not opposed to perpetuating one of the representatives of the Sveshnikov family in the collection, and has already chosen a character. Me.

Naturally, it would be difficult for me to interview myself. It required a view from the outside, and it’s not easy to ask yourself questions. The only person to whom I am ready to give myself to be torn to pieces was (and remains) the journalist Olesya Proglyadova. And she did an excellent job.

By this moment, it became clear: I expect an interesting fate from my heroes, otherwise you can quickly lose the reader's interest. In addition, I wanted a geographical spread in the places of ministry of the fathers. Another task: to be able to show that we are different. I wanted many professions, but the priests - a policeman, a builder and a seamstress - immediately refused to talk.

But unexpectedly agreed to meet Sergei Schmemann (son of Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann). Unexpectedly - since we did not know each other, and due to the popularity of his father, he had to give more than a dozen interviews. But Sergei Alexandrovich did not refuse. So I ended up in Paris - the horizon of history immediately expanded.

Of the "foreign" stars, in addition to Sergei, I turned to Sophia Kishkovskaya - the daughter of Archpriest Leonid Kishkovsky, a priest of the Orthodox Church in America. Sonya and I became quite close friends many years ago. And I already knew that her family had to endure many hardships of emigration. But they found the strength to find their place in a foreign land and did not lose faith. And Sonya, when she grew up, decided to return to Russia. And I really wanted to understand why she did it. It is interesting that in the conversation I found out: Sonya once worked under the direction of Sergei Schmemann.

Deacon Vladimir Pravdolyubov with his father - Archpriest Sergius Pravdolyubov - and brother Anatoly on the day of his brother's deacon's consecration

Archpriest Vladimir Pravdolyubov appeared in the book, firstly, because he represents a wonderful family of holy martyrs. In addition, it was clear to me that among the characters there must necessarily appear the successors of the priestly family - father and mother. Father Vladimir successfully completed the first part of this task, and the choice turned out to be extremely successful: he brought to the book a lot of not only dramatic, but also funny nuances.

The second part was entrusted to the smart, beautiful mother Taisiya Bartova-Grozovskaya, who connected the two famous priestly families of the Northern capital. It was interesting for me to include her in the book, because with her appearance it became even clearer that we priests can be very different. And how wonderful it is!

One of my childhood friends, Sergei Shargunov, during his creative youth wrote, said, broadcast to society a lot about his relationship with God, father, Church, politics. It was all the more interesting to discover completely different sides of him, to see and show the reader another person.

Sofia Kishkovskaya with her father - Archpriest Leonid Kishkovsky

I am very grateful to fate for the fact that during the search for interesting characters I had the opportunity to interview the artist Lilia Ratner, who suffered from Stalinist repressions in her youth along with Ilya Shmain, who later became a priest. It was then that I decided that I must certainly ask his daughter Anna to participate in the book. There was little hope, but I wrote to Anna Ilyinichna, and she unexpectedly did not refuse. And at the meeting, the first thing she told was how my dad became her godfather. I, of course, left this piece in the book.

We have been friends with the family of Father Valentin Asmus for 40 years, and I am well aware of the fate of each of his children. But I did not have the slightest doubt which of the now grown sons and daughters to ask to tell the reader about themselves. Xenia did not disappoint! She managed to be so open and frank that I had no choice but to match her in my own episodes.

There were eight of us, and I had already looked after the last character, but for a number of reasons, work on the book had to be postponed. And when we returned to the project, the concept changed and the number of heroes became unimportant. And so eight priests remained in the book ...

ATTENTION! COMPETITION!

"Orthodox Moscow" plays new book Maria Sveshnikova "Popovichi. Priests' children about themselves" by "Nikeya" publishing house.

Details - on the pages of our newspaper in social networks "

Status St. Isaac's Cathedral will remain the same:

"The plot with a possible change of owner in St. Isaac's Cathedral is a serious policy, and that is why there will be no eviction of the museum," he said. live Internet channel [Fontanka.Office] Director of the Russian Museum of Ethnography Vladimir Grusman...

The museum remains. The museum is not without the presence of the ROC. As it was. Just the transfer of the cathedral with the throwing out of the museum, I can not even imagine. I think that this will not happen,” Grusman said.

He also expressed confidence that for the Russian Orthodox Church St. Isaac's Cathedral is also interesting for economic reasons.

“The Russian Orthodox Church does not hide this. Nikolai Burov (director of the St. Isaac's Cathedral museum. - Ed.) says that at least 450 million rubles a year are needed for the maintenance of such a building and restoration work. The opposite side answers him "let the budget pay for it." Those. the economy is visible…”, he noted.

Earlier today it became known that St Petersburg University officially distanced itself from the well-known "letter of the rectors" about the speedy transfer of St. Isaac's Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church. Vice-Rector of St Petersburg University Ilya Dementiev signed the appeal to the governor in his personal capacity, and not as a representative of the university, it is said on the website of the university in the section on the admission of citizens.

Recall that the active confrontation between supporters and opponents of the transfer of St. Isaac's Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church began after the New Year holidays. Opposition deputies held a number of mass street actions. Supporters of the transfer of the cathedral twice passed the procession around the museum. At the end of last week, news agencies reported that the issue of transferring the cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church was not agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And in addition "five kopecks" from the venerable borodinaelena :

“Why doesn’t the Russian Orthodox Church get Isaac? Yes, because cadres decide everything ... Remember, everything that the evening service was agreed on January 21, for ONE time, Saturday, in the central aisle, the museum worked. Further, on January 28, they served without agreement , the museum worked and closed during the service! On February 4, they served in the center, as if agreed, the museum did not seem to go into conflict, the museum was closed from 16.00! And further, on February 11, 18, according to the same scheme, on February 25, most likely also For the month of March, the ROC again, ignoring the interests of the Cathedral, declares the center on Saturdays?????? , except from other parishes, there is nowhere ... and the entrance is closed to tourists?! And the country should know its heroes! Meet ... Taisiya Gennadievna Bartova-Grozovskaya - Deputy Director for Interaction with the Russian Orthodox Church, Protocol Service and Individual VIP Programs.

That's who, in fact, coordinated the services for the Russian Orthodox Church in the central aisle, religious processions February 12 and 19, and other nuances of cooperation with the Cathedral.

And one must see the zeal of this lady in defending the interests of the Russian Orthodox Church, while being a deputy. dir. Isaac...

"Black Man", sinister for the fate of St. Isaac's Cathedral!
