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.

Dmitry Donskoy

Memorial Day: 01.06

Another saint named Dmitry is deeply revered in Rus'. He himself considered Demetrius of Thessalonica his heavenly patron and became worthy of him in everything. Having lived a short life, only 39 years († 1389), he left a wonderful memory of himself in the hearts of people. Dimitri of Moscow won a number of important victories for Rus':

repelling the attack on the capital of the Lithuanians (1368,1373);
defeat of the Tatars on the river Vozhe (1378);
defeat of the Horde on the Kulikovo field (1380).

Canonized in the year of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus'. When going against the enemy, he always asked for blessings in the temple. Established two church traditions:

Dimitrievskaya parent's Saturday.
The day of finding the relics of blessings. book Alexander Nevsky.

He remained in history not only as a pious Christian, a brave warrior, but also an exemplary family man. His wife Evdokia gave him 12 children, and shortly before her death she became a nun.

Sovereign

Prince Dmitry by that time declared war on those who did not want this unity. In his consistent actions to strengthen the autocracy, he relied on the support of St. Sergius of Radonezh and St. Alexis of Moscow. As a result of his wise policy, the people of Novgorod, Ryazan, Tver and others recognized the seniority of Moscow.

It is necessary to note one more of his invaluable services: he approved the law on succession to the throne. This meant that the power of the prince after his death was transferred to the eldest son, and not to the eldest prince in the family. This played a positive role in the life of the state: the bloody wars of appanage principalities for the throne stopped.

Name day and angel day

Dmitry's name day and angel's day are slightly different things. Birthday is the day when a person is born, and angel day is the day of remembrance of the heavenly patron. As a rule, the day of the angel coincides with the date of church baptism, and the name day is the day of remembrance of the patron saint, according to the calendar.

At the moment, many consider the concepts of angel day and name day to be similar. On Angel Day you need to honor your guardian angel

, which is given at baptism, while
on name day the heavenly resident, Saint Demetrius, is honored
. So name day is the day of the angel. People believe that a man is protected by that Dmitry whose date of birth, according to the calendar, is closest to the date on which the person was born.

The patron saint of Dmitry, born on May 29, is Dmitry Donskoy. According to the Orthodox calendar, Dmitry’s name day should be celebrated on June 1. If a boy was born on November 3, his name day will be November 8. And his patron will be Dmitry Solunsky.

The date of St. Demetrius's day falls on the following days:

Knowing the celebration of Dmitry’s name day according to the church calendar is very important. It is advisable to visit church on such a day and read a prayer in front of the image of the saint.
