Holy Prince Dimitry Donskoy, commemoration date: June 1

He was born in 1350 and very early (at the age of 9) he was left without his father (Prince John the Red). His upbringing was carried out by Saint Alexei of Moscow, as well as by Saint Sergius of Radonezh. From a young age, Dimitri began to show abilities not only for Christian life, but also for managing state affairs. So, at the age of 12, he took the grand-ducal throne and considered his most important task to be the unification of Russian lands and liberation from the Tatar-Mongol yoke.

But the most difficult trials awaited him. So, Khan Tokhtamysh moved with hordes to Moscow. They burned the city to the ground, killing everyone who stood in their way. There was no limit to Dimitri Ioannovich’s grief; he sobbed in the ruins of the city. In order to somehow help his people, he ordered to bury all those killed at his own expense. Soon he felt the proximity of his death and invited St. Sergius of Radonezh to perform the necessary Sacraments. Having barely reached the age of 40, he peacefully departed to the Lord.

Demetrius of Thessaloniki, great martyr

Once one of the very first holy warriors revered in Rus'.

Memorial Day: 26.10

Lived in 3 in n. e. in Thessaloniki. Born into a family of secret Christians. There is a version that they were Slavs. The pagans in Rome continued their fierce struggle with faith. The boy was baptized as a child, and after the death of his father he was appointed to the position of proconsul. The main task was to protect the townspeople from barbaric attacks. He also had to destroy Christians.

The emperor did not know about the baptism of his protege. When he returned to his city, he immediately began to praise Jesus openly. He wanted pagan customs to be forgotten, and the population to begin to live like Christians. Maximilian was informed about this, and she became furious. After one of his campaigns, he turned to the Thessalonian region, wanting to punish the inhabitants. Having learned about this, the proconsul distributed his wealth to the poor.

After interrogation by the Emperor, Dmitry was thrown into prison, and the Emperor amused himself with gladiator fights. Before him, his favorite Leah impaled Christians on spears. One young man visited the prisoner, asking for his blessing in battle with the barbarian. After this, the young man Nestor himself threw the mighty gladiator onto his spears. The pagan ruler was angry. He ordered the death of St. much Nestor, as well as Demetrius, who prayed for the brave man.

On October 26, 306, the saint was killed by guards. A servant named Lupp took the ring from the already dead man and sprinkled it with the blood of the saint, and also collected the blood of Demetrius into the cloth. With the help of existing shrines, he began to successfully treat the sick. By order, he was also killed by the emperor's soldiers.

They got rid of the body by throwing it to wild predators, but people picked it up and buried it. Later, a temple of God was built on this site. After it fell into disrepair, the incorruptible relics were found. They tried to take them out several times, but each time they all returned back. From the 7th century Demetrius is called the Myrrh-Streaming One. Interesting! When the barbarians attacked Thessaloniki, they saw a formidable fair-haired young man on the fortress wall, walking around the city. They were afraid of him, believing that it was St. Dimitri went out on patrol. It was not by chance that he was considered a Slavic saint among the ancient Greeks. He began to be revered among pagans, including those from Rus'. After her baptism, the Dimitrievsky Monastery was founded in Kyiv. Relics preserved:

Mosaic icon (Tretyakov Gallery).
Demetrius Cathedral 12th century. in Vladimir.
Miraculous icon on the tombstone of the saint (Tretyakov Gallery).

Since ancient times in the Russian state the name of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica was associated with the exploits of the defenders of the Motherland.
