Icon of the Theotokos of Tambov (Utkinskaya) CELEBRATION: April 29 HISTORY In 1686, Saint Pitirim arrived in Tambov and, along with other shrines, brought a copy (copy) of the icon of the Mother of God, called Ilyinsko-Chernigov, considered the patroness of the Southwestern region. Therefore, an icon was placed at the southwestern city gates. Over time, the icon began to be called Tambov, especially since the iconographic image had some differences from the Ilyinsko-Chernigov: on both sides of the Mother of God, to the right and to the left, were depicted those who were standing: Saint Alexy, the man of God, and the Monk Evdokia. It is believed that these are the heavenly patrons of the parents of Bishop Pitirim, and it is quite possible that he himself painted the images of these saints. Later, on the site of the southwestern city gates, a small wooden church was erected in the name of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. The icon was in this church. And when the merchant Ivan Utkin built at his own expense in 1771-1778. the stone Archdeacon-Stephanie church, then the Tambov icon was transferred here and placed in the altar above the altar. The people began to call the church by the name of the builder Utkinskaya, and the icon was subsequently completely forgotten. But the Queen of Heaven reminded of herself. V early XIX century to one Kaluga supernumerary priest, who suffered from a disease of the legs and could not walk, this very icon of the Mother of God appeared in a dream, and it was said: “Find this icon. Pray before her and you will be healed. " After this dream, the priest received some relief from his illness, so that he could walk, and immediately began to look for the icon he had seen in his dream. Having visited different villages and cities, he finally got to Tambov, where, having examined all the churches, he found the very icon he had seen in a dream in the altar of the Utkin Church, and after praying in front of her he received perfect healing. This case became widely known in the city, and after it there were several more miraculous healings townspeople. The Tambov icon became known again, and when in 1835 the old Utkinskaya church was significantly upset, at the request of the townspeople the right side-altar was consecrated in honor of the Tambov Icon of the Mother of God. Over time, grateful Tambovites diligently decorated the icon: a luxurious silver-fortified robe, many precious stones appeared. Healing cases from the icon did not have time to record. In 1888, by order Holy Synod From all the churches of the city on April 16, a procession of the cross began in honor of the Tambov icon, and in 1900 the church itself began to be called the Mother of God. After the revolution, Tambov churches were ravaged, suffered and miraculous icon... The riza was removed from the icon, the stones were dug out, and it itself disappeared without a trace. The city has venerated lists of the miraculous image.

Holy Easter Hours during Divine Services in the Temple

The hours that separate the Easter Matins from the Liturgy pass unnoticed for many, because they are not read as usual, but are sung, and consist not of psalms (which constitute their basis), but of selected Easter hymns, easily recognizable by ear.
Likewise, other services for Easter and the entire Bright Week (i.e. before next sunday) consist almost exclusively of singing (with the exception of the reading of the Apostle and the Gospel, priestly exclamations and deacon litanies). In general, the reading of the Psalter, a collection of Hebrew religious hymns and prayers, is abolished for the entire Bright Week because "the shadow of the Old Testament no longer has a place with the radiant radiance of New Testament grace."

Cell prayers during the Easter period

According to a long tradition, the usual morning and evening prayers are replaced on Bright Week Easter hours. All hours: 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th are exactly the same and read the same. This succession of the Easter Hours contains the main Easter chants. It begins, of course, “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death and giving life to those in the tombs”, “Seeing Christ's Resurrection…” is sung three times, then the ipakoi, exapostilarium and so on. This sequence of reading times is much shorter than the usual morning and evening rules. Ordinary prayers, which contain both a repentant prayer and a different kind, are all replaced by Easter hymns that express our joy at this great event.

Descent of Christ into Hell. Icon, XIII century. Monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and giving life to those in the grave(Three times).

Also three times:

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the One Sinless One. We worship Thy Cross, Christ, and we sing and praise Thy holy Resurrection: Thou art our God, do we not know otherwise, we name Thy name. Come all faithfulness, let us worship the holy Christ Resurrection: behold, come the Cross, joy to the whole world. Always blessing the Lord, we sing His Resurrection: having endured the crucifixion, destroy death by death.

Do you- except you. Behold come- for behold, she has come.

Do we not know otherwise to You, we call Your name ...- the words Holy Scripture: Lord, don't you know otherwise; we call your name (Isa. 26:13; see also the 5th canon of the Holy Communion).

***

We sing and praise Thy Resurrection: Thou art our God, don’t we know otherwise, we call Thy name ...

"This expresses the feeling of perfect repose in the Savior. And how natural it is, especially now! .. In the resurrected Jesus Christ, a person - the poorest stranger on earth - is delivered from sin, hell, death, the devil, adopted by God, honored by the deification of his nature ... If destroyed damnation and sin, if death has been trampled upon, if hell has been destroyed and the head of the primordial enemy has been erased, then what else is there to fear?

Saint Theophan the Recluse

Ipakoy, voice 4th

Just before the morning, even about Mary, and the founding stone was rolled away from the tomb, I hear from the Angel: in the light that exists, with the dead, what are you looking for like a man? You see the shroud of the grave; Tecyte and preach to the world, as the Lord is risen, who killed death, as is the Son of God, saving the human race.

Before the morning- those who came before dawn. Even about Mary- those who were with Mary (Mary's companion). I hear- heard. Tetsyte- run, hurry. Preach- proclaim. Yako is- for He.

***

"We hear in the Easter Canon the voice of the Angel to the myrrh-bearers: Tetsyte and the world preach that the Lord who has killed death is up. The voice of the Angel in relation to us means: live so that your whole life would be a single word:" Christ is risen! " and so that, looking at you, the whole world, both Christian and non-Christian, would say: truly Christ is risen, because apparently he lives in one or the other, apparently forces are working for Him. The Risen Lord through imitation of Him and assimilation of the power of His resurrection. "

Saint Theophan the Recluse

Kontakion, voice 8

Even if you have descended into the grave, Immortal, but you have destroyed the power of hell, and you have risen as the Conqueror, Christ God, who prophesied to the myrrh-bearing women: rejoice, and give peace to your apostle, grant resurrection to the fallen.

If- although. Prophetic- said.

In the grave of the flesh, in hell with the soul like God, in paradise with the robber, and on the Throne you were, Christ, with the Father and the Spirit, fulfill everything, Indescribable.

Do everything- doing everything by Himself. Undescribed- unspeakable (not amenable to description).

Troparion in the most short words gives an amazing image of the fullness of the Divine - Christ, who is inseparably abiding with the Father and the Spirit, rests in his body in a tomb, descends with his soul into hell and plagues the souls of the righteous, and according to His false words to the robber, now he is with him in paradise (Luke 23:43) - and filling everything with Himself, brings the Universe to fullness, fulfills the work of salvation.

The Apostle Paul, citing the verse of the psalm, says: It is said: He entered the heights, took captivity captive and gave gifts to men (Ps. 67:19). And "ascended," what does it mean, if not that He first descended into the underworld of the earth? Descended, He is also ascended above all heavens, in order to fulfill all (Eph. 4: 8-10).

Glory:

Like the Life-bearer, like the most reddened paradise, truly and the palace of every royal, the most luminous, Christ, Thy tomb, the source of our resurrection, will appear.

And now:

Vyshnyago consecrated Divine village, rejoice, Thou hast given joy to the Mother of God, calling: blessed Thou art in wives, the All-Immaculate Lady.

Reddest- the most beautiful. Vyshnyago- the Almighty. Settlement- home.

Like the Life Bearer, like the reddest of paradise ... The Tomb of Christ appears before us as the bearer of Life (Life Bearer), more beautiful than paradise, sparkling more than any royal palace! (Note: the subject in this sentence - what is being said - is precisely the tomb of Christ, "Christ" is conversion, we are talking to Christ about His tomb)

Lord have mercy(40 times).

Glory, and now:

The most honest Cherubim and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, we magnify the Mother of God.

Christ rose from the dead, trampling death on death, and giving life to those in the grave(Three times).

In days Easter week and even up to the end of the Passover, before the meal, the troparion of Passover is sung (or read), and after the meal - the backer of Passover.

Zadostinik (refrain and irmos of the 9th canon of the Easter canon):

An angel cries out more gracefully: Pure Virgin, rejoice! And pack the river: rejoice! Thy Son is risen three days from the grave, and raised up the dead; people, have fun.

Shine, shine, the new Jerusalem, the glory of the Lord ascends upon you. Rejoice now and be merry, Zion; You, Pure, show off, the Mother of God, about the rebellion of Your Nativity.

Vopiyashe- exclaimed. Pack the river - I'll repeat. Flaunt- rejoice, enjoy. Your Christmas- Born by You.

Glows, glows, the new Jerusalem ... The new Jerusalem is understood as the New Testament Church of Christ. Rejoice now and rejoice, Zion ... Under Zion (the mountain on the southern side of Jerusalem, where the house of King David was, and later the chamber of the Last Supper, and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles) in the New Testament, according to the interpretation of Blessed Jerome, the saints are understood: they , standing on the pinnacle of virtues, form Zion, about which it is said: Its foundation on the mountains of the saints. The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the villages of Jacob (Psalm 86: 2).

Prayer of the Monk Ephraim the Syrian

This prayer is read in the church on Wednesday and Friday of Cheese Week and throughout Holy Forty days, except Saturdays and Sundays (if you follow the rules exactly, it is also read on some days of other long-term fasts). During Great Lent (in weeks), it should certainly be included in your private rule; most naturally - at the end of morning and evening prayers, and, if possible, in the middle of the day.
