The life path of the son of the Lord, the wonderworker Mitrofan of Voronezh

In November, the sixth day of 1623 , a baby was born into the family of a priest in the Vladimir province. The boy was named Mikhail and was raised in the spirit of Orthodox traditions in love for the Lord. Mikhail grew up as an exemplary God-fearing child and studied well at school. After training, he married and was appointed a priest in the village of Sidorovskoye. Father Mikhail had a son, John, and was known as a caring husband and loving father. By the age of forty, he was widowed, had a hard time with the death of his wife and decided to take monastic vows.

He settled in the Zolotnikovsky Monastery and renounced this world. In 1663 he took monastic vows and was named Mitrofan. The novice Mitrofan was strict with himself and those around him, and enjoyed the respect and love of all the brethren. In 1665 he was elevated to the rank of abbot at the Yakhroma monastery. Here he served as rector for 10 years. In 1675, Mitrofan became rector of the Unzhensk monastery and ruled it for almost 7 years. During the years of his reign, the Unzhensky Monastery achieved its prosperity.

Emperor Fyodor Alekseevich (Romanov) often visited the monastery and often talked with the abbot. At court, Abbot Mitrofan was treated with respect . In 1682, Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich recommended appointing Abbot Mitrofan as bishop to the newly formed Voronezh diocese

The newly appointed bishop was concerned in every possible way about the well-being and organization of church life, as well as about the welfare of the state. In those days, many Christians bore pagan names, drank, and lived in vice. Church attendance was very rare. The region required constant work and expenses to improve the church structure. Bishop Mitrofan understood this well. In Voronezh, the Annunciation Cathedral was erected in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1692, the cathedral was consecrated and it became a favorite place for parishioners.

Acts of a bishop in the Voronezh diocese

Vladyka Voronezh was known as a strict but fair archpastor . He preached a lot, did charity work, and organized schools that taught literacy and theology. Having large incomes, he distributed all the money to those in need, while living very modestly.

A special relationship developed between the bishop and Emperor Peter the Great. Vladyka Mitrofan supported many of the endeavors of the young monarch and was his teacher and mentor. He helped Peter organize shipbuilding in Voronezh for the construction of a fleet. The tsar treated the bishop with great respect and even, at his request, reduced duties from some monasteries.

In 1703, at the age of eighty, the pious elder became seriously ill. Several years before his death, the saint left a spiritual testament:

Pray for the dead; Maintain peace among yourself; Honor those in power; Keep the Lord's commandments.

Before his death, the bishop wished to accept the schema. On August 10 he was tonsured and named Macarius. On November 23, 1703, Mitrofan died quietly. The bishop was buried in the Annunciation Church in Voronezh. In 1832, Mitrofan of Voronezh was canonized among the saints of God.

Relics of the Saint

During the renovation of the cathedral, the relics of the Holy Wonderworker were transferred twice, and each time their incorruptibility was certified . Even after the death of the elder, his relics retained the gift of miraculous healing.

With the coming to power of the atheists, many monasteries and temples were looted, destroyed and demolished. The Annunciation Cathedral was also damaged. The relics of the saints stored in it were destroyed. They tried to fill up the healing spring located in the monastery many times, but each time it found its way through a layer of earth. The relics of St. Mitrofan were preserved and transferred to the local history museum, where they remained for 60 years.

In 1989, the relics of the Wonderworker of Voronezh were returned to the Orthodox Church. On September 16, the holy relics, covered with an ancient shroud, were placed in the altar of the Intercession Cathedral in Voronezh in the prepared place. They, as before, continue to heal the sick and suffering. Christians from all over the world make a pilgrimage to this place.

Brief life and prayer help

Baby Mikhail was born in the village of Antipovka, Moscow district, where he grew up and studied science. He later married, and the couple had a son, John. But at the age of 40, his beloved wife departed to the Lord. Mikhail became a widower and decided to take monastic vows. In 1663 he was tonsured a monk and given the name Mitrofan.

Mitrofan Voronezhsky

The monk was strict with himself and with those around him; these qualities played an important role for the abbot of the Yakhroma monastery, who appointed the monk abbot of the monastery.

The saint enjoyed the respect of the brethren, he was especially valued and respected at the royal court of Theodore Alekseevich. The greatest abbot supported many of the undertakings of Peter 1, and was his mentor and teacher.

In 1682, Mitrofan was elevated to the rank of Bishop of Voronezh. At this time, Voronezh residents did not trust the Church of Christ, there was no parish life, people blasphemed God, their level of education was too low. But Saint Mitrofan actively promoted Orthodoxy, erected churches and monasteries within the diocese.

In 1703, the saint fell ill and felt his death approaching and soon died. Emperor Peter 1 was present at his burial and personally carried the coffin with the body of the deceased.

Saint Mitrofan was born on November 6, 1623 on the territory of the Vladimir province

Saint Mitrophan of Voronezh was born into a Christian pious family. He was born on November 6, 1623 on the territory of the Vladimir province. Nothing is known about his childhood and teenage years. And his name was Mikhail. In his adult years, he got married and had a son, Ivan.

He loved him very much and also raised him in the love of God. When his wife died, he decided to leave the bustle of the world and went to the Zolotnikov hostel, which was located not far from Suzdal.

Zolotnikovaya hostel monastery, to which Saint Mitrofan came to begin to live with God, renouncing worldly life

Mitrofan prayed and fulfilled all obediences. The fame of his exploits went beyond the city limits and spread throughout the area. The monks asked the authorities to appoint Mitrofan to the position of abbot of the monastery. Management approved this proposal.

In 1663, Mitrofan was elevated to the rank of abbot. During his abbess, he proved himself to be a kind and caring shepherd who will always help and advise with good advice and deeds.

In addition to helping his brethren, Mitrofan was also involved in the improvement of the monastery.

With funds and help from benefactors, he built a new temple, and also acquired a rich design of the Gospel. One day, Patriarch Joachim offered Mitrofan a place as abbot of the Zheltovodsk monastery.

Mitrofan accepted this proposal. He ruled this monastery for about seven years. During this time, he built the Annunciation Church, with a bell tower and a refectory. A fairly large number of icons for the temple were also painted.

Patriarch Joachim offered Mitrofan a place as abbot of the Zheltovodsk monastery. Mitrofan accepted this offer and went to this place to serve God

Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich himself had the opportunity to personally communicate with Father Mitrofan. Many other representatives of the royal court experienced the same feelings.

In 1682 the Voronezh diocese was created

In 1682, the Voronezh diocese was created. Hegumen Mitrofan was appointed to the place of leadership, because this place required a person who was firm in his convictions, wise and experienced.

In the same year, Mitrofan was consecrated Bishop of Voronezh. After the death of Tsar Theodore, Mitrofan had to stay in the capital, thereby attending the ceremony of crowning two Alekseevichs. He also took part in this ritual. He presented the crown on a platter and then placed it on Peter’s head.

When Mitrofan arrived at the place of his ministry, he ordered all the clergy to strictly observe their faith and treat the entire flock responsibly. At the very beginning of his ministry, Mitrofan set himself the task of fighting for church unity, since at that time many schismatics appeared.

15 years

construction of a stone temple in Voronezh lasted

First of all, he organized the construction of a stone church in the diocese in Voronezh. True, construction was very delayed and lasted 15 years. All this time, Mitrofan served in a wooden church. But, unfortunately, quite serious mistakes were made during the construction of the temple, so the building was declared invalid.

In this area, Mitrofan proved himself to be a very kind and merciful bishop. They said that Mitrofan received not only close associates, but also ordinary people. Even the simplest people who would really like to get advice from Father Mitrofan could come to him for a conversation.

The Voronezh diocese was rather poor, so one day Tsar Peter removed several cities with counties from the Ryazan diocese and assigned them to the Voronezh diocese.

Mitrofan treated Tsar Peter very well, as did the Tsar himself. When Peter was building ships, Mitrofan convinced everyone that this was a very useful thing for the Fatherland

Mitrofan himself treated Tsar Peter very well. When Peter was building ships, Mitrofan convinced everyone that this was a very useful thing for the Fatherland, and supported those who were busy with these hard jobs. When the saint learned that funds were needed for the needs of the Fatherland, everything that was in the treasury of the diocese, he gave everything to the sovereign.

After the tsar went to Azov, he sent an envoy to Mitrofan with the message that Mitrofan would be called Bishop of Voronezh and Azov.

When Saint Mitrofan learned that funds were needed for the needs of the Fatherland, he gave everything that he had in the treasury of the Voronezh diocese to the sovereign

One day Tsar Peter was in Voronezh and invited Mitrofan to his place. He came on foot, but when he saw the idols at the front door, he turned around and left. The king, having learned about this, again sent for the saint. The saint agreed to come, but only after the idols were removed.

The king became very angry and said that if he did not come, he would be executed. The saint again ignored the king's words. Mitrofan began to pray at this time. Soon the king heard the ringing of bells, when he asked for what reason the bells were ringing, he was told that Saint Mitrofan was preparing for death and wanted to pray during this time.

Peter was greatly surprised and removed the idols. Afterwards, the king became even more deeply imbued with respect for the saint.
