Tradition says that when the island of Rhodes had been conquered by Moslems, the new ruler of the island wished to rebuild the walls of the city, which had been damaged in previous wars. Several ruined buildings were near the fortress, and stone from these buildings was used to repair the walls at the end of the fifteenth century, or the beginning of the sixteenth.<br/><br/>While working on the fortress, the Moslems uncovered the ruins of a beautiful church. Several icons, most of them badly damaged, were found on the floor. One icon, of Saint Phanourius, looked as if it had been painted that very day. The local bishop, whose name was Nilus, was called to see the icon. It said, “Saint Phanourius.” Bishop Nilus sent representatives to the Moslem ruler, asking that he be permitted to restore the church. Permission was denied, so the bishop went to Constantinople and there he obtained a decree allowing him to rebuild the church.<br/><br/>At that time, there was no Orthodox bishop on the island of Crete. Since Crete was under the control of Venice, there was a Latin bishop. The Venetians refused to allow a successor to be consecrated when an Orthodox bishop died, or for new priests to be ordained, hoping that in time they would be able to convert the Orthodox population to Catholicism. Those seeking ordination were obliged to go to the island of Kythera.<br/><br/>It so happened that three young deacons had traveled from Crete to Kythera to be ordained to the holy priesthood. On their way back, they were captured at sea by Moslems who brought them to Rhodes to be sold as slaves. Lamenting their fate, the three new priests wept day and night.<br/><br/>While in Rhodes the priests heard of the miracles performed by the holy Great Martyr Phanourius. They began to pray to him with tears, asking to be freed from their captivity. Each of the three had been sold to a different master, and so remained unaware of what the others were doing.<br/><br/>By the mercy of God, each of the priests was allowed by his master to pray at the restored church of Saint Phanourius. All three arrived at the same time and prostrated themselves before the icon of the saint, asking to be delivered from the hands of the Hagarenes (Moslems, descendents of Hagar). Somewhat consoled, the priests left the church and returned to their masters.<br/><br/>That night Saint Phanourius appeared to the three masters and ordered them to set the priests free so that they could serve the Church, or he would punish them. The Moslems ignored the saint’s warning, believing the vision to be the result of sorcery. The cruel masters bound the priests with chains and treated them even worse than before.<br/><br/>Then Saint Phanourius went to the priests and freed them from their shackles, promising that they would be freed the next day. Appearing once more to the Moslems, the holy martyr told them severely, “If you do not release your slaves by tomorrow, you shall witness the power of God!”<br/><br/>The next morning, all the inhabitants of the homes where the priests were held awoke to find themselves blind, paralyzed, and in great pain. They considered what they were to do, and so decided to send for the priests. When the three priests arrived, they asked them whether they could heal them. The priests replied, “We will pray to God. May His will be done!”<br/><br/>Once more Saint Phanourius appeared to the Hagarenes, ordering them to send to the church a document granting the priests their freedom. He told them that if they refused to do this, they would never recover their sight or health. All three masters wrote letters releasing the priests, and sent the documents to the church, where they were placed before the icon of Saint Phanourius.<br/><br/>Before the messengers returned from the church, all those who had been blind and paralyzed were healed. The priests joyfully returned to Crete, carrying with them a copy of the icon of Saint Phanourius. Every year they celebrated the Feast of Saint Phanourius with deep gratitude for their miraculous deliverance.<br/><br/>The saint’s name sounds similar to the Greek verb “phanerono,” which means “to reveal” or “to disclose.” For this reason, people pray to Saint Phanourius to help them find lost objects. When the object is recovered, they bake a sweet bread (fanouropita) and share it with the poor, offering prayers for the salvation of saint’s mother. Her name is not known, but according to tradition, she was a sinful woman during her life. Saint Phanourius has promised to help those who pray for his mother in this way.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/db731aba0278aeaa3fce778fbfebc6f58b3cc2c06be5ce49b5e1e066e375b371.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-27T10:29:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvsz29seupl4evxt5zxprs5pzxfyfagec8nheqjrvxpl0x9pmd3lczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6agnc48 Return of the Relics of the Apostle Bartholomew from Anastasiopolis to Lipari<br/><br/><br/>The Transfer of the Relics of the Apostle Bartholomew took place at the end of the sixth century. His apostolic activity and martyr’s end are remembered by the Church on June 11. The Apostle Bartholomew suffered for Christ in Armenian Albanus (now Baku) in the year 71, where his holy relics were. Numerous miracles occurred from the relics of the holy Apostle, and many of the unbelieving were converted to Christ. Under the emperor Anastasius (491-518) the relics of the Apostle Bartholomew were transferred into the newly constructed city of Anastasiopolis (or Dura) and remained there until the end of the sixth century.<br/><br/>When the city of Anastasiopolis was captured by the Persian emperor Chozroes, Christians took up the chest with the relics of the Apostle Bartholomew and fled with it to the shores of the Black Sea. Having overtaken them, pagan priests threw the chest with the relics of the Apostle Bartholomew into the sea. Four other chests containing the relics of the holy Martyrs Papian, Lucian, Gregory and Acacius were also thrown into the sea.<br/><br/>By the power of God the chests did not sink into the depths of the sea, but miraculously floated upon the waves and reached Italy. The chest with the relics of the Apostle Bartholomew came to land at the island of Lipari, and the remaining chests continued their journey and came to land at various places in Italy. The chest with the relics of the Martyr Papian halted at Sicily, the Martyr Lucian at Messina, the Martyr Gregory at Calabria, and the Martyr Acacius at Askalon.<br/><br/>The arrival of the relics of the holy Apostle Bartholomew was revealed to Bishop Agathon of the island of Lipari, who went with clergy to the shores of the sea, took the chest from the waters and solemnly transferred it to church.<br/><br/>Myrrh flowed from the relics of the Apostle Bartholomew, healing people of various illnesses. The holy relics remained in the church of the island of Lipari until the middle of the ninth century when the island was captured by pagans. Christian merchants took up the holy relics of the Apostle Bartholomew and transferred them to the city of Beneventum, near Naples, where they were received with great veneration and placed in the main church of the city.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/319a22ee0faef69d50ad80d7a77eadc346b70e3d18513986cb590a02de86d5e6.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-25T09:17:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp4x2wew3f7ju6zzgylrcvjlp6zkrhy4quv9kuh0w6h5r8jv62kjczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6743f2v Virgin Martyr Syra of Persia<br/><br/>The martyr Syra lived during the sixth century in Persia and was the daughter of an illustrious pagan priest of the fire-worshippers (i.e. Zoroastrians) from Karkh-Seleucia in Elimiade (Abizarde). Syra’s father, fearing the influence of Christianity on his daughter, sent her to the city of Tharsis after the death of her mother to be educated as a pagan priestess.<br/><br/>Syra became a priestess at the heathen temple of fire, and occupied herself with honorable activity. But once, after speaking with some Christian beggars, Syra believed in Christ the Savior and began to live as a Christian. She began to learn prayers and Psalms, to fast and to read Christian books.<br/><br/>Syra once fell ill. She was not able to find a remedy for her sickness, so she went to the Christian church and asked the priest only to give her some of the ashes from the church, hoping to receive healing from them. The priest, knowing Syra to be a servitor of idols, refused her request.<br/><br/>Syra was not angered, recognizing her own unworthiness, but with faith she touched the robe of the priest, as the woman with the issue of blood once touched the robe of the Savior (Mt. 9: 20-22). She immediately received healing and she returned home healed.<br/><br/>Syra’s family began to suspect that she wanted to accept Christianity, and they asked Syra’s stepmother to persuade her to abandon this intention. The stepmother, pretending that she herself was a secret Christian, talked sweetly with Syra, telling her to keep her faith secret. She also told Syra to continue to serve the fire outwardly, so she would not fall away from Christ altogether by being subjected to torture.<br/><br/>Syra began to hesitate about accepting Baptism, but when she saw a vision in her sleep about the desolate fate which befell her mother after her death, and about the luminous abodes foreordained for Christians, she made up her mind and went to the bishop, asking him to baptize her. The bishop declined to fulfill her request, fearing to give the pagan priests a reason for persecuting Christians. Besides this, he thought that Syra, fearing her father’s wrath, would deny Christ. The bishop advised her first to openly confess her faith in the Savior before her kinsfolk.<br/><br/>Once during the morning sacrifice, Saint Syra was stoking the priestly fire worshipped by the Persians as their god, and overturning the sacrifice she proclaimed loudly: “I am a Christian and reject false gods and I believe in the True God!”<br/><br/>The father beat his daughter until he became exhausted, and then threw her in prison. With tears and entreaties he urged her to return to her former faith, but Syra was unyielding. The father then denounced her to the pagan high priest, and afterwards to the governor and to the emperor Chozroes the Elder.<br/><br/>They tortured the holy maiden for a long time in prison, but the Lord strengthened her, and she stood firmly on her faith in Christ. After she bribed the prison guard, Saint Syra went to the bishop and received Baptism. The Lord granted Saint Syra the gift of wonderworking. When the Persians gave the martyr over for the leering of impious men, they began to jeer at the saint, saying: “What’s the fable told about you, that the chains fall from your neck, hands and legs by themselves? Let us see now how the chains fall off!” Saint Syra prayed in the depths of her heart to the Savior, and immediately the chains fell from her. And this was not the only time.<br/><br/>Succumbing to her tortures, Saint Syra fell deathly ill. She began to entreat the Lord that He not permit her to die from the illness, but rather to grant her a martyr’s crown. The Lord heard her and granted healing. Seeing the martyr healed, the prison guard and jail warden went to dishonor the holy maiden, but the Lord struck one with illness and the other one was struck dead. The martyr was condemned to be strangled.<br/><br/>They conducted the execution with refined cruelty. After a while they left go of the rope, asking the saint whether she wanted to change her mind and remain among the living. But the martyr, barely alive, refused and requested the execution be done quickly. The body of the saint was thrown to dogs to be devoured, but they would not touch it. Christians then buried the body of Saint Syra.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/406809a91cc00f117e6f080ce23bc0f5cd12da3ac658b81889194d767ac99c81.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-24T11:12:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd4ueyvrdfvaeurw3hdkhw3lqzazvwm8ak358rh50telr72m549xgzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6u5vjs0 Hieromartyr Eutyches, disciple of Saint John the Theologian<br/><br/>The Hieromartyr Eutyches, a disciple of the holy Apostles John the Theologian and Paul, lived from the first century into the beginning of the second century, and was from the Palestinian city of Sebastea.<br/><br/>Although Saint Eutyches is not one of the 70 Apostles, he is called an Apostle because of his labors with the older Apostles, by whom he was made bishop. After hearing about Christ the Savior, Saint Eutyches first became a disciple of the Apostle John the Theologian. Later he met the Apostle Paul, and preached together with him on the early journeys.<br/><br/>Saint Eutyches underwent many sufferings: they starved him with hunger, beat him with iron rods, they threw him into the fire, and then to be devoured by wild beasts. Once, a lion was let loose upon the saint, which astonished everyone because it praised the Creator with a human voice.

They lived in the second century at Byzantium, and afterwards they settled in Illyria [now Yugoslavia]. By occupation they were stone-masons (their teachers in this craft were the Christians Proclus and Maximus, from whom also the brothers learned about life pleasing to God).<br/><br/>The prefect of Illyria, Likaion, sent the brothers to a nearby district for work on the construction of a pagan temple. The saints toiled at the structure, distributing to the poor the money they earned, while they kept strict fast and prayed without ceasing.<br/><br/>Once, the son of the local pagan-priest Mamertin carelessly approached the structure, and a chip of stone hit him in the eye, severely injuring him. Saints Florus and Laurus assured the upset father, that his son would be healed.<br/><br/>They brought the youth to consciousness and told him to have faith in Christ. After this, as the youth confessed Jesus Christ as the true God, the brothers prayed for him, and the eye was healed. In view of such a miracle, even the father of the youth believed in Christ.<br/><br/>When the construction of the temple was completed, the brothers gathered the Christians together, and going through the temple, they smashed the idols. In the eastern part of the temple they set up the holy Cross. They spent all night in prayer, illumined with heavenly light. Having learned of this, the head of the district condemned to burning the former pagan priest Mamertin and his son and 300 Christians.<br/><br/>The martyrs Florus and Laurus, having been sent back to the prefect Likaion, were thrown down an empty well and covered over with earth. After many years, the relics of the holy martyrs were uncovered incorrupt, and transferred to Constantinople. In the year 1200 the Novgorod pilgrim Anthony saw them. Stephen of Novgorod saw the heads of the martyrs in the Pantokrator monastery around the year 1350.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/b4058b341a57bc63512210ff85d5e5ee8cff7578e04dddc999e8a880dd58a9a5.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-18T09:24:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8kljsnpa2y5qsaagjknzud4ryl2qqvn08kmmk592y726ksdqgrcczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6thqsya LOL the only way to get people to vote for Kalamba is to make her white<br/><br/>That&#39;s a win in my book fellas<br/>nostr:note1agnhs36d0w0mz2vh8vdt83w32jxurapu0w02jnu82w40ngufap8qc4g8gp<br/> 2024-08-17T19:42:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd887jlxlxfsz9sw3erh9a4krv04zjzkqux0n745fq32jm88d6dvczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6u93mr9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9x5gf6nqkhxj6htu8ytcszvg39zv7sztc6tklwjxsher46txvjfc8fncx9'>nevent1q…ncx9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bruh who this ho keeping out of her house, the wet bandits? 2024-08-17T19:34:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg95jxtjwr3yfamyj89dhjgqvsqsjcy2x02gsrc680a7ssknnlsrqzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6p7008x Looks like it rained last night meaning most of my yard work plans are out<br/><br/>Will probably just tinker around in the garage now and clean/organize tools like an old boomer<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/a2591b9eec4fc553802ade02192a798a56561be92946e1a8717ab30b41539442.png"> <br/> 2024-08-17T14:29:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdxvs5sn638s3r6yt7l05alkn78ex6uls43z8jn9tt4fw8hzlsg7szyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy62t2c7x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvg9y3kejp03g4sjfntdu5dr53j449mrapyku6z87khsz5k3edexqpkxqae'>nevent1q…xqae</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>morning yigga-san 2024-08-17T11:04:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszkh4qdyytcpsp8p3040espztegjm4fvw2zgsgl55qjrj6kaqhzagzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6c2mqgp Venerable Alypios, Iconographer of the Kiev Near Caves<br/><br/><br/>Venerable Alypios of the Caves was one of the first and best Russian iconographers. He was tonsured by Igoumen Nikon († March 23, 1088). Later, he was ordained as a Hieromonk. From a young age he labored in the Kiev Caves Monastery and studied iconography with the Greek masters who painted the church of the Caves in 1083. Saint Alypios was an eyewitness to a wondrous miracle: when the iconographers adorned the altar with paintings: an Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos imprinted itself on the wall. At the same time, the Icon shone brighter than the sun.<br/><br/>Saint Alypios always painted icons without asking for payment. If he learned that in some church the icons had become damaged, he took them with him and restored them without charge. If people paid him for his work, he set aside one third to purchase supplies for painting icons, one third as alms for the poor, and the remainder for his own needs. He also painted the Sven-Caves Icon of the Mother of God (May 3 &amp; August 17). The Saint was never idle, and interrupted his iconography only to attend the Divine Services.<br/><br/>Saint Alypios was known for his gift of working miracles during his lifetime. He healed a man from Kiev who suffered from leprosy, anointing the patient&#39;s wounds with paints. Many of the icons painted by Saint Alypios were also miraculous. There were some instances when the Angels of God helped him to paint icons.<br/><br/>A certain man of Kiev built a church, and instructed two monks to have some icons painted for it. The monks hid the money and said nothing to Saint Alypios about it. After waiting a long time for the work to be completed, the man went to the Igoumen to complain about Saint Alypios. Only then did they discover that he had not been told of the commission. When they brought the boards provided by the customer, they found that beautiful icons had already been painted on them. When the church burned down, the icons remained intact. One of these icons (the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos), known as the Vladimir-Rostov Icon (August 15), was taken by Great Prince Vladimir Monomakh (1113-1125) to a church he had built at Rostov.<br/><br/>On another occasion, when the Saint was sick and near death, an Angel painted an icon depicting the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. That same Angel received the soul of Saint Alypios, who reposed in 1114 and was buried in the Near Caves.<br/><br/>A twentieth century icon in the church of the Pskov Caves Monastery of the Dormition depicts Saint Alypios holding a copy of the “Assuage My Sorrows” Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos (January 25 and October 9).<br/><br/>Saint Alypios is also commemorated on the second Sunday of Great Lent, the Synaxis of All Saints of the Kiev Caves (movable Feast); and on September 28, the Synaxis of all the Venerable Fathers of the Near Caves of Saint Anthony.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/53e5d432d17b01e11f0b61257acff3b45c23151e131c627a0fdaa03b8c18217e.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-17T11:02:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswcdw9q0cgadfwfw8jcvay9xw0n65k8rjdmelh60gffc7vv6wpddszyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy638ect9 Martyr Myron the Presbyter of Cyzicus<br/><br/><br/>The Holy Martyr Myron was a presbyter in Achaia (Greece), and lived during the third century. He suffered in the year 250 under the emperor Decius (249-251). The presbyter was gentle and kind to people, but he was also courageous in the defense of his spiritual children.<br/><br/>On the Feast of the Nativity of Christ, he was celebrating the Divine Liturgy. The local governor Antipater came into the church with soldiers so as to arrest those praying there and to subject them to torture. Saint Myron began to plead for his flock, accusing the governor of cruelty, and for this the saint was delivered over to be tortured.<br/><br/>They took Saint Myron and struck his body with iron rods. They then threw the presbyter into a red-hot oven, but the Lord preserved the martyr, but about 150 men standing nearby were scorched by the fire. The governor then began to insist that the martyr worship idols. Saint Myron firmly refused to do this, so Antipater ordered the leather thongs to be cut from his skin. Saint Myron took one of the leather thongs and threw it in the face of his tormentor.<br/><br/>Falling into a rage, Antipater gave orders to strike Saint Myron all over his stripped body, and then to give the martyr to wild beasts to be eaten. The beasts would not touch him, however. Seeing himself defeated, Antipater in his blind rage committed suicide. They then took Saint Myron to the city of Cyzicus, where he was beheaded by the sword.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/8bd6bd40b5134d482e13553645f4d454f7db4d7c4fd212e1a08ce67bd578e15a.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-17T10:58:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsya8q4kded9uhxwr3vwdgg2s0jurv25s8s0fdz3wav8tw3zju3t2gzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6eehy4x Spent most of my morning working in outside projects, which was fun. Did some minor restoration on an old faded lamppost that is now nice and shiny, looks new. Checked the flashing on the roof and the gutters since the recent heavy rains had caused some washout in the yard, wanted to be sure everything on the house was good. Thankfully only had a little gutter cleaning to do.<br/><br/>I love doing outdoor projects. My big one to tackle here in the next week or two is refinishing a slope that is beginning to degrade. It had creeping juniper which unfortunately rotted away so now the ground erodes during any heavy rain. I&#39;d like to get some native plants and place them there. Natives root deeper and do a better job of preventing erosion, as well as support local insects and wildlife.<br/><br/>I could technically turf it over, but the slope is fairly well shaded for most of the day. Turf rarely roots well in shade and never roots as well as a native plant anyway. Natives will probably be easier to care for too over turf; I never seem to have luck keeping grass looking sharp. 2024-08-16T22:27:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr7yu3ahhxhl6za3y7y3muerq337z006q2etncmgkec2p2vljajaczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6z2kxdl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswv9m8pn9ssns4l87hsv945hwf7gqrkjf6lwyhd5mkhqzhshzmsvqwwqemu'>nevent1q…qemu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>tbh it looks like he loved Jesus but didn&#39;t like the organized Christianity in his country, which is a fair assessment, considering how much damage 19th century and early 20th century German theologians had done to Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity as a whole 2024-08-16T11:30:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf4vavtgylkfvslp9gaah9tj6q5u9vq949xvj29qqx06t5u73kgjczyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6ca6xmd gm poast <br/><br/>gonna be another beautiful day, ya&#39;ll take care of yourselves now<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/310d455e7334e8f7761e8b90c30a13be949537dbb91c3459319e42769e52030a.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-16T11:26:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstnv8erqkd8g3l2cxr6lx20sgrkjhpkjdkf6562xaw8ncfrm2pg8czyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6v52ng9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfvs0tyca0t8ca2x38g8ddhuy3j4dp02a3qdrkrmdrp9zdruushvgl6ak9g'>nevent1q…ak9g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Death spasms of a dugong, 2024 colorized 2024-08-13T15:37:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstngdsn6zz0wdzmpd6s3w5hq2dzu9mmxhfufa9zcfq25n5yavczfszyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6ct95u6 Oh THIS is why the chat says to get New Balance<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1dv6l2xtpm8n9vzasv7r6sgr536g3egrwdpa9548jmslnewq0hvjs4a7yns" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1dv6…7yns</a></span><br/> </div> <img src="https://media.nicecrew.digital/a30a40b05c995c341739c8df5481c9250f2c8bd99d90790e5338b5842dceac49.jpg"> <br/> </blockquote> 2024-08-13T00:27:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz7e8vv353qfx7uwxafjm75r5nea8secfdluwqfttw2pz077a4j6qzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy668xftq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfgsg3cpn2afp82ewx7mc2cvp4ujn0zckvq0w6dktjqm58zvkc0msxw722k'>nevent1q…722k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Pickle and salami?

They were sent to preach the Word of God to the native inhabitants of northwestern America, who only ten years before had come under the sovereignty of Russia. Saint Herman was among the members of this Mission.<br/><br/>Saint Herman came from a family of merchants of Serpukhov, a city of the Moscow Diocese. His name before he was tonsured, and his family name are not known. (The monastic name is given when a monk takes his vows). He had a great zeal for piety from youth, and at sixteen he entered monastic life. (This was in 1772, if we assume that Herman was born in 1756)<br/><br/>Father Herman himself spaded the garden, planted potatoes and cabbage and various vegetables in it. For winter, he preserved mushrooms, salting or drying them. The salt was obtained by him from ocean water. It is said that a wicker basket in which the Elder carried seaweed from the shore, was so large that it was difficult for one person to carry. The seaweed was used for fertilizing the soil. But to the astonishment of all, Father Herman carried a basket filled with seaweed for a long distance without any help at all. By chance his disciple, Gerasim, saw him one winter night carrying a large log which normally would be carried by four men; and he was bare footed. Thus worked the Elder, and everything that he acquired as a result of his immeasurable labors was used for the feeding and clothing of orphans and also for books for his students.<br/><br/>His clothes were the same for winter as for summer. He did not wear a shirt; instead he wore a smock of deer skin, which he did not take off for several years at a time, nor did he change it, so that the fur in it was completely worn away, and the leather became glossy. He went everywhere in these clothes, and at all times; in the rain, in snowstorms, and during the coldest freezing weather. In this, Father Herman followed the example of many Eastern Ascetic Fathers and Monks who showed the greatest concern for the welfare and needs of others. Yet, they themselves wore the oldest possible clothes to show their great humility before God, and their detachment from worldly things.<br/><br/>Once the Elder was invited aboard a frigate which came from Saint Petersburg. The Captain of the frigate was a highly educated man, who had been sent to America by order of the Emperor to make an inspection of all the colonies. There were more than twenty-five officers with the Captain, and they also were educated men. In the company of this group sat a monk of a hermitage, small in stature and wearing very old clothes. All these educated conversationalists were placed in such a position by his wise talks that they did not know how to answer him. The Captain himself used to say, ‘We were lost for an answer before him.’<br/><br/>Father Herman gave them all one general question: ‘Gentlemen, What do you love above all, and what will each of you wish for your happiness?’ Various answers were offered ... Some desired wealth, others glory, some a beautiful wife, and still others a beautiful ship he would captain; and so forth in the same vein. ‘Is it not true,’ Father Herman said to them concerning this, ‘that all your various wishes can bring us to one conclusion—that each of you desires that which in his own understanding he considers the best, and which is most worthy of his love?’ They all answered, ‘Yes, that is so!’ He then continued, ‘Would you not say, Is not that which is best, above all, and surpassing all, and that which by preference is most worthy of love, the Very Lord, our Jesus Christ, who created us, adorned us with such ideals, gave life to all, sustains everything, nurtures and loves all, who is Himself Love and most beautiful of all men? Should we not then love God above every thing, desire Him more than anything, and search Him out?’<br/><br/>“All said, ‘Why, yes! That’s self-evident!’ Then the Elder asked, ‘But do you love God?’ They all answered, ‘Certainly, we love God. How can we not love God?’ ‘And I a sinner have been trying for more than forty years to love God, I cannot say that I love Him completely,’ Father Herman protested to them. He then began to demonstrate to them the way in which we should love God. ‘If we love someone,’ he said, ‘we always remember them; we try to please them. Day and night our heart is concerned with the subject. Is that the way you gentlemen love God? Do you turn to Him often? Do you always remember Him? Do you always pray to Him and fulfill His holy commandments?’ They had to admit that they had not! ‘For our own good, and for our own fortune,’ concluded the Elder, ‘let us at least promise ourselves that from this very minute we will try to love God more than anything and to fulfill His Holy Will!’ Without any doubt this conversation was imprinted in the hearts of the listeners for the rest of their lives.’<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/86a79809f5cda9d33c879812979b752f1458695f843d61a01a7c13a430969ed9.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-09T11:20:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspa284vsnp9p58wcvelvczvps93vw8jvl9qflk8cw5ucw38469h3gzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6a3qcm0 Saint Myron the Wonderworker, Bishop of Crete<br/><br/>Saint Myron, Bishop of Crete, a wonderworker, in his youth was a family man, and worked as a farmer. He was known for his goodness, and he assisted everyone who turned to him for help. Once, thieves burst in upon his threshing floor, and Saint Myron himself helped them lift a sack of grain upon their shoulders. By his generosity the saint so shamed the thieves, that in future they began to lead honorable lives.<br/><br/>Out of profound respect for the saint, the Cretan people urged him to accept ordination to the priesthood in his native city of Raucia, and afterwards they chose him Bishop of Crete.<br/><br/>Wisely ruling his flock, Saint Myron received from the Lord the gift of wonderworking. At the time of a flood on the River Triton, the saint stopped its flow and went upon it as upon dry land, and then he sent a man back to the river with his staff to command the river to resume its course. Saint Myron fell asleep in the Lord at the age of 100, around the year 350.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/8f02c5546b0c960dd27fe40a382c09eb57362e21ab8e09ffe71233c56ed76e5d.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-08T10:13:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswynyeje2l5vywzjhdt059z0r2jzrju8hhpee2qjvkl4s7fgvjk9gzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy60zf0wy hadn&#39;t had any beer for awhile, finally went and got me some Guinness<br/><br/>Love me some Guinness, simple as<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/4b962ea7adba09da05662fbe6ff9b76c6f2ef672905f2e3507c8ed95e43de0a7.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-08T00:16:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspv9ytxw009k940dns3p09lv62eudh5wc2dc8stsrjedur8rv0geqzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6u8z4ln Saint Theodora of Sihla<br/><br/>Since Saint Theodora and her husband did not have any children, they both decided to enter monasteries in the Buzau valley. Her husband went to the Skete of Poiana Mărului, where he was tonsured with the name Eleutherios. He was also found worthy of ordination to the holy priesthood. Saint Theodora also received the monastic tonsure in the Skete of Poiana Mărului. In just a few short years, she advanced in obedience, prayer, and asceticism, acquiring the grace of unceasing prayer of the heart. She also had to endure many temptations from the Enemy.<br/><br/>When the Buzau valley was invaded by the Turks, Saint Theodora fled to the mountains with her Spiritual Mother, Schema-nun Paisia. They lived for several years in fasting, vigil and prayer, enduring cold, hunger, and other trials from the devil. When her Spiritual Mother fell asleep in the Lord (sometime between 1670 - 1675), Saint Theodora was led by God to the mountains of Neamț. After venerating the wonderworking Neamts Icon of the Mother of God (June 26) at the monastery, she was told to seek the advice of Hieromonk Barsanuphios of Sihăstria Skete. Seeing her desire for the eremetical life, and recognizing her great virtues, he gave her Holy Communion and assigned Hieromonk Paul as her Father Confessor and spiritual guide.<br/><br/>Father Paul left the nun on Mount Sihla, blessing her before he returned to the Sihăstria Skete. Saint Theodora lived in that cell for thirty years, glorifying God. Strengthened with power from on high, she vanquished all the attacks of the Enemy through patience and humility. She never left the mountain, and never saw another person except for Father Paul, who visited her from time to time to bring her the Spotless Mysteries of Christ and the supplies she needed in order to survive.<br/><br/>Saint Theodora made such progress in asceticism that she was able to keep vigil all night long with her arms lifted up toward heaven. When the morning sun touched her face, she would eat some herbs and other vegetation to break her fast. She drank the rain water which she collected from a channel cut into the cliff, which is still known as Saint Theodora’s spring. After Father Paul’s repose, she remained solely in God’s care.<br/><br/>As Saint Theodora grew old, she was completely forgotten and there was no one to care for her. Placing all her hope in God, she continued her spiritual struggles, and reached great heights of perfection. When she prayed her mind was raised up to Heaven, and her body was lifted up off the ground. Like the great saints of earlier times, her face shone with a radiant light, and a flame came forth from her mouth when she prayed.<br/><br/>Eventually her clothes became mere rags, and when her food ran out, she was fed by birds just as the Prophet Elias (July 20) was. The bread that they brought to her came from the Sihăstria Skete. Seeing the birds come to the Skete and then fly away with pieces of bread in their beaks, the Hegumen sent two monks to follow them, thinking that some ascetic was living there and that God was providing food for him. Night fell as they walked toward Sihla, and they lost their way in the woods. They decided to wait for daylight, and so they began to pray. One of them climbed a tree and looked for a place where someone might be living. Suddenly, they saw a bright light rising up into the sky, and went to investigate. As they approached, they saw a woman shining with light and levitating above the ground while she prayed.<br/><br/>Sensing their presence, Saint Theodora said, “Brethren, do not be afraid, for I am a humble handmaiden of Christ. Throw me something to wear, for I am naked.’ The monks were amazed when she addressed them by name. Then she prayed: “I thank Thee, O Lord, that Thou hast heard me.” She said to the monks, “Brothers, I have lived for many years in these parts, and, behold, it has been forty days since I prayed for God to send me a Confessor to come and impart unto me the Holy Mysteries of our Lord Jesus Christ, because it is almost time for me to depart from this life. So, please, go straight to the Skete and ask Father Hegumen to send Father Anthony and Hierodeacon Laurence to me tomorrow morning with Holy Communion.”<br/><br/>They asked her how they could find their way to the Skete at night, for they did not know the way. She said that they would be guided to the Skete by a light which would go before them.<br/><br/>The next day at dawn, Father Anthony went to Sihla with the deacon and two other monks. When they found Saint Theodora, she was praying by a fir tree in front of her cave. She made a Confession of her entire life to Father Anthony, and then she received the Holy Mysteries of Christ and gave her soul to God. Her last words were, “Glory to God for all things.’ The monks buried Saint Theodora in her cave with great reverence sometime during the first decade of the eighteenth century.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/28d71b50e009b1b5e46282c4fde1eb8c50f430764efaf7f6a4e95fa26051cdc8.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-07T09:19:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswks5qc098rqc3qsfszqj58kykazpy0cfsaec6nqlyv4rptnkv7wqzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy63hpmwv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswax48fnyu9xu996suueakved5hjll09ky3zhp5ym2m4vhvtkcpzqal4xxt'>nevent1q…4xxt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How come the govt never mistakenly transfers 239 mil to like, me, or someone<br/><br/>It&#39;s always &#34;oopsie woopsie the Taliban&#34; 2024-08-06T10:34:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgnkk3psfhpv4jyrl7hlp5fflpgwuw4frv5p7z8lsfjllvnsv8qrgzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6e358hd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdujk4stzwn2v4qsrgekm60sea2lyy35lgmaw0rhf2349tvy69tnq9lksun'>nevent1q…ksun</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>“God became man so that man might become god.&#34; St. Athanasius 2024-08-06T01:03:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0x8luzwhdplxz95vydzcdnk3e29f9cj26jlx08u7y9z8v7239grgzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy62lmhpt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfrxnqd8h33uvnqtwwkpkwxdunrukd3etsaq6vx6xkq60n85tsz9g4tnlk0'>nevent1q…nlk0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I believe Rome simply didn&#39;t think it wrong, as Western Theology was under the influence of Neo-Platonist ideas that Uncreated Energy could never simply be interacted with by created beings. In their eyes, distance must always be maintained between the Uncreated Creator/Immoveable Mover, therefore any interaction with that Uncreated Divinity must always be a creation that God has placed between us and God proper.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a lot of bad logic and the Western idea of Divine Grace was intrinsically linked with Augustine&#39;s ideas of how grace should logically be given out. Rome&#39;s idea of Grace soon became something else entirely beyond the original concepts by the Church.<br/><br/>(This post contains a lot of quick drive-by analysis that barely touched on this thousand year old theological argument, fair warning) 2024-08-06T00:42:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq3vkfg8jcddmauy0yp3dmy4q599cav0t57xf5m3pnmlczdu0l6aszyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6qph27a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2qyy5g22am3altyvcfkdxqckywp3kuydc4ffuw5lqgtv8uv5mlsq9s427w'>nevent1q…427w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>lol I thought that was durbo in the driver&#39;s seat for a second 2024-08-05T23:08:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsylykud5saa2gz8nurlmtd74ysvp8m96vchq0w9l79drkl9vuxs8gzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6zp0hwj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsds7tk6r2yjrp9nnelpxppfnwmwnyx6urx2geu7cfxng7r84umxfglah7l0'>nevent1q…h7l0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Aw yis, mashed tater day<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/24fd749d23fa1c34307814058cc1210f57db520a2ccefed246c2ad3e5e14db09.png"> <br/> 2024-08-04T21:41:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstf7t8fu73cyml0q0rznd075z3amp0k5hm4d5zmfpmrez0k692ahgzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy69s23xy Life lately <br/><br/>It&#39;s ok, this character building arc has a good end (someday)<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/3fc22117a46a37db92effe1ae18d63e54fd02c460202aad11c7651d3fd9b0e8d.jpg"> <br/> 2024-08-04T21:38:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsprusnw4hqczwy3pxkr50hvdy7ug6qfj6s8gw55k46suqz4dvquaszyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6dr3htd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswqprfxx6xhguffj4hmkwtnzp7h6ut6aqr9cj0z74hwwhtrvt3ntcgn5hjh'>nevent1q…5hjh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Dang, zoomer eel soup is next level 2024-08-02T18:29:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspk6f60867npcvgg07wx4gttvmtqtwtgwkjrh5k7924t7ca0kzy7gzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6g6pqa7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy9mm03t0uxgndv7zej0a9aff8rdsh6vq6k82qemmj0dc57nx2j0s3nsmz4'>nevent1q…smz4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;The whole U.S. negro question is very simple.

He was only six years old when his grandmother, the Holy Princess Olga (July 11), who had raised him, reposed, and his father sent him to reign in Novgorod under the tutelage of the voivode Dobryn, his mother&#39;s brother. Princess Malusha, who still bore her Scandinavian name Malchrid, was a Christian.<br/><br/>Saint Olga&#39;s son Prince Svyatoslav was killed in battle with the Pechenegs three years after his mother&#39;s repose. Then his sons&#39; tutors fought a war among themselves. Christian Kiev and pagan Novgorod struggled for supremacy. After the death of his father Svyatoslav in 972, Prince Vladimir of Novgorod was forced to flee to Scandinavia in 976, Vladimir&#39;s brother Yaropolk murdered his other brother Oleg of Drelinia and conquered Rus&#39;. For the rest of his life Prince Vladimir mourned their deaths.<br/><br/>At the age of seventeen he began to rule on his own. He spent the first six years of his reign on military campaigns, leading his army personally, reconquering Novgorod from Yaropolk. By 980, Vladimir had consolidated the territory of Kievan Rus&#39; from what is now Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine to the Baltic Sea. In addition, he strengthened the frontiers against the incursions of Bulgarians, Baltic tribes, and Eastern nomads.<br/><br/>All the Slavic tribes from the Carpathians and the Neman, and the city of Gorodyon (Grodno) to Beloozero, Anka and Volga united to form a single whole – the Russian land (Русскую землo), and they were called Russians. In gratitude for his victory at Kiev he set up idols of pagan gods - Perun and Beles - and offered them human sacrifices. In ancient times, the Slavs did not have idols and sacrifices, but adopted them much later from other pagan lands.<br/><br/>In those days, Kiev was a large trading city. Merchants came from all over the world, as well as preachers of various religions. Saint Vladimir wanted to unite his people, not just under one government, but also under one Faith. The Prince sent envoys to various countries to see which religion would be most suitable for his people. When Vladimir&#39;s emissaries returned from Constantinople, they told him that when they stood in the church of Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom), they did not know &#34;whether they were on earth or in heaven.&#34;<br/><br/>As to the reason for the conversion of Saint Vladimir to Christ, another writer of the XI century, Saint Nestor the Chronicler (October 27) states in his Life of Saints Boris and Gleb: &#34;In those years there was a Prince named Vladimir, who ruled the Russian land. He was righteous and merciful to the poor, to orphans, and to widows, but he was a pagan. God intervened and made him a Christian, just like Saint Eustathios Plakidas (September 20). So Prince Vladimir became a Christian, receiving the name Basil at his Baptism.&#34;<br/><br/>Prince Vladimir was twenty-five years old at the Baptism of Rus&#39;. With all the fervor of youth, he began to fulfill the precepts of Christ, especially those about helping the poor, sick and disadvantaged. This assistance was provided on a large scale. Throughout Russia, the poor were sought and were given everything they needed, and the sick also received treatment. During Saint Vladimir&#39;s reign, the state served the people, which was very unusual in those days. In ancient times there was no death penalty in Russia. Instead, there was a &#34;penalty,&#34; that is, a monetary fine. Saint Vladimir confirmed this custom, saying: &#34;I am afraid of sin.&#34; This custom became law and entered the Code of Laws compiled under his son, Great Prince Yaroslav under the name &#34;Russkaya Pravda.&#34;<br/><br/>The people loved their Prince, praising him in songs and epics, calling him the Beautiful Sun. Saint Vladimir summoned the elders of the people from all over Russia for meetings and provided feasts for them. The memory of these feasts is also preserved in the epics. He built new cities, such as Volodymyr-Volynsky (where his palace once stood), Vladimir in the land of Suzdal, and others. He strengthened the boundaries of his possessions as a defense against the neighboring pagan tribes. In order to unite Russia, he sent his sons to rule in different cities: at Rostov, Murom, Novgorod, Polotsk, and other places. Soon the influence of the Varangians began to wane, and the importance of the Slavs increased. In Kiev, at the place where the Russian Protomartyrs Theodore and John were murdered, he built the church of the Tithes and dedicated it to the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, donating a tenth of his income for its upkeep.<br/><br/>The Holy Prince Vladimir reposed on July 15, 1015 in his beloved village of Berestov and was buried in the church of the Tithes. A piece of his holy relics was kept in Holy Wisdom Cathedral, established by his son, Great Prince Yaroslav the Wise.<br/><br/>#saintpoasting<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/5f55acdc7f8fc1d3bb9299bddfe928cd16f6d0295db5566a24e1b208a4988d05.jpg"> <br/> 2024-07-15T10:22:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9t7r3z2jhhuwdc4qg472x7g4679raatu6qyznkauj9ndy8kca4gqzyqjx4dn9vqqvf0p8rlutqys05n345yaq2zuy6nc2axzgt7q6g2zy6nqx7vp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqvf70002rw8mh4j93dhflnxa7zv7qlqvj7rcknrr7eazj8gjkkdgxqjyxp'>nevent1q…jyxp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m currently using Thorne&#39;s Creatine Powder and I love it.

Yet there&#39;s a lot of evangelicals who use St. Patrick in their teachings, I mean, the guy evangelized a whole island, so why not? They may not call him a saint but he&#39;s still widely respected, which is cool.<br/><br/>I think another aspect that we don&#39;t mention or even consciously think of is our connection to St. Patrick through blood and soil. He is one of us, a man of the west, a driven yet meek man who doggedly pursued Christ against all odds and became renown through the world. It&#39;s someone we can all aspire to follow. To those of us descendants of men of the west, he is counted amongst our forefathers as well as amongst the saints. <br/><br/>St. Patrick is who we once were and who we could once again become. Be like St. Patrick.
