Do you remember our unusual acquaintance?
It began with misunderstanding. Until March 21, 2010, I did not know anything about you while the magazine "Slavyanka" did not read the article "Meeting with the Great Wonderworkers". The article was about you and St. Nicholas of Nikolae the Wonderworker.In those days, my faith collapsed 8 years ago at the bed of his brother in resuscitation. Brother then survived, and I came to the temple. 5 years ago, January 28, 2013, another grief happened to me - my house burned down. Until now, we have our own corner with your daughter, and this is another test.From the moment I believed in God, many miracles on prayers for different saints happened to me. I visited so much shrines that the other and for all my life will not see. But today, often during confession, I repent of Malimia and Ugly. Thousands of times I prayed God: "Help, Father!" Thousands of times I read in the Gospel: "Your faith saved you"! But in those black days I was sure that the faith did not save me, but destroy me that God could not hear me that he left me, punished, did not help. I do not remember what the words I complained about the night to St. Nicholas (and in fact), not yet knowing that in the same year I was waiting for a meeting with both great wonderworkers. . Today I want to remind you about your wonders.
Greece - as a gift
2010 began for me Lita Study, who reigned in the house without heating. Cold thugretfully strengthened the feeling of spiritual metaphysical hell. "Lord, why did you leave me? Take me to myself, since I don't need here, on earth, "I prayed the invisible God. And he has already prepared a gift to me, an inadvertent joy - soon I have suddenly releasing the feeling of complete emptiness suddenly with happiness to be in the earthly paradise - in the Greek Earth! God, having experienced the strength of my faith, ready to collapse under the burden of intolerable, seemed to be sorrows, diseases and cold, Six months later answered all my questions to him. Doubtedly in the grace of God, I moved to Greece in Greece chriving from Smog to Greece, where the heat was degrees 40. Here God fell and my bones, and my frozen soul. When I suddenly turned out to be on Kerkira Island, it came to me that it came to me that In Greece, I did not give me anyone, namely you. It was you who gave me a meeting with new friends, among which the main place took, of course, the father of Netary (Antonopulos), now Metropolitan Argolidsky.
His mercy and love for people do not know borders. Its probably cannot be called holy (too much responsibility, although many of him are called it), but it can be compared with you, and with St. Nicholas, the world of the Lycian Wonderworker. You both have become famous for both infinitely good and merciful people. But after death, you have assistance to everyone in need. In August 2010, more than a hundred children from Moscow rested in the Greek camp, the village of Alyabyevsky Tyumen region, from the cities of Yugansk, Nyagan, Soviet, from Perm Krai, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Alushta, Evpatoria, village Chernopol. After 10 days of pilgrimage in the holy places of Greece and the week of life in a camp, located on the picturesque slope of the Parnass Mountain, the children went home to the houses, passing the sea of \u200b\u200bimpressions. The destinies of many of them were so harder and hopeless that I was ashamed to cry! I note that I was planning a trip not to Greece, but in Switzerland, which in 2010 did not take place. Instead of the Swiss "Blagovets" - the Greek "Bridge of Love"
March 23, 2010, that is, two days after my night talk with the saints, I called me Olga Alexander, Director of the Russian Children's Center "Matryoshka" and the International Children's Orthodox Camp "Blagovetnik." I covered the work of her children's camp in 2009, and, remembering the successful experience of working together, she once again invited me to Switzerland as a journalist and a teacher. I was bought by a ticket, which was impossible to pass. But got sick and ... did not fly to Switzerland, losing the cost of the ticket.A little later, I realized that it was the fishery of God. I found incomparably more - a meeting with the Greek Monk - Archimandrite Nectarius, dedicated to the life of disadvantaged children and God. God is love. Therefore, a monk's charity program called the "Bridge of Love".And so I found myself instead of the children's Orthodox camp, located in the Swiss Alps, in the camp on Mount Parnaas ... Thank you for a presented pilgrimage in the holy places of Greece. Truly failed paths of the Lord!
Litania on the island of Kerkira
08/11/2010 Under the scorching sun, I stand with a camcorder and a camera in front of the old palace on the main square of Kerkira, sprinkling with a thousandth crowd. Among the believers, pilgrims from different countries of the world, including from Russia and Ukraine, together with which I flew to Greece at the invitation archimandrite Netchariya (Antonopoulos), now Metropolitan Argolid, then - iguman of the Male Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Lord of Sagmat, Head of the Department for Work with the Youth of the FIV and Levady Metropolis of the Eldelle Orthodox Church.On August 11, in one of the days of your memory, you gave us an unforgettable trip to the ferry on Kerkira Island, where amazingly beautiful Litania is accomplished - one of the largest and most solemn gods with your relics.This day I remember the wonderful getting rid of the inhabitants of the island from the Turkish invasion in 1716. From June 24, 46 days the siege of the island of Kerkira lasted the 50,000th Turkish army. Standing on his knees, the inhabitants prayed in the Church of St. Spiridon, and suddenly a terrible thunderstorm broke out on the night of August 10. Some Turkish warriors drowned in water streams, and those that were captured, told that they saw in the thunderstorm sky a soldier figure with a lit candle, a sword and a cross in her hands. Together with the Sonm of Angels, he began to drive the Turks. It was you - the defender and the patron of Kerkira - the only island in the Ionian Sea, which was never under the rule of the Turks than the locals are very proud of.
Since then, your relics are exhibited annually for three-day worship (before sunset on August 13), and more priests and many brave orchestras performing solemn hymns participate in the festive lithuania. Musicians are dressed in the parade form of white, blue, red and black flowers. And the drums, the procession with icons and horagoes - is unlikely somewhere else there is a colorful procession! Behind the orchestras, the priests in white vessels are marking. Deacons hold Cadyl, four parishioners - lights. Four priests surrounded by military sailors and the gabs vertically in the ark, having three sides of the windows, carry your power under the canopy. You seem to go around our lands, blessing people. The lower part of the ark is open so that you can make to your velvet shoes. Once a year, when you overlook you, the shoes are extruded, and their particles distribute believing as the great shrine, because in them you walk on the ground, feeding the help to everyone who needs it.We participated in the Litania, which was headed by the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Greece archbishop Athens and All Eldlands Ieronim II (in the world of John Liapis). And although we did not manage to attach to the shrine, we all felt the grace emanating from the relics. The congestion went, I cried, remembering my night talk with you.
I kept the journal vertically - right in front of myself, and my tears could not fall on the page. Therefore, I experienced a real shock, seeing how the tears was frozen in the log shown in the magazine, which was not rolling down. You heard me, sympathized with me and helped to overcome the abyss of despair, despondency and ropot. I will always thank God and you for the fairy tale presented to me.
Having learned that the native of Greece, the father of Nectarius was lucky to participate in Litanan Just the second time in his life, I clearly realized that a miracle was made - we were all at the festival at your personal invitation! It was you who introduced me to Archimandrite Nectarius, whose love is enough for everyone. We bathed in it, as in a soft fluffy cloud - students, seminarians who accompanied children adults, orphans, pupils of orphanages and boarding schools, children of large parents, children from very poor and disadvantaged families ... We all had some miracle suddenly One of the most beautiful Greek islands! Father nectarians can really compare with a huge cloud of love that transfers you from the harsh everyday life in the magical world of Eldla ... Father Netary visited all places of Links of St. Saint and the Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimean in Russia. From these places, he brought to rest in Greece children from disadvantaged families or from orphanages and boarding schools. The relics of St. Spiridon in Moscow
On the island of Kerkira, I was worried that I could not make me to your relics. In other years, the father nectaries brought children to the temple to cancer with your relics and gave everyone a piece from your shoes. But you comforted me again - the father nectaries flew to Moscow on September 15, 2010, on the day, when your dance arrived in the Cathedral Church of the Savior.10. August 2007, the governor of Danilova Monastery Archimandrite Alexy (polycarpov) was carried out with your desk. By his blessing in 2007, when the shrine arrived in Danilov Monastery, I was attached to her, but I did not feel anything. Having bought your lives, to his shame, never bothered to read it. I did not even remember what your icon looks like. Therefore, I did not recognize you, reading an article in the "Slavyanka". Therefore, thank you for a trip to Greece, I came only on September 28. At 10.30 stood in the queue, and at 10.45 already applied to relics. The second time stood in line and again in 15 minutes was at the burdard with a shrine. Although they were not allowed to stay in the temple, I did not care among people who read the Akathist. And here are the clergymen sang: "Majess the Major, the Major, the Holy Father of Spiridon, and honor your holy memory, you boils for us of our god of our!" That day I wondered why there were few people who came to the shrine that was all Some times brought to Russia? (They say that in 2007, people stood at 7 or more hours to touch your desk.) But after the TV show Andrei Malakhov, "let them talk" on the topic "Holy Power", many occupied the turn at 5 am and during the day They stood far from the entrance to the monastery - the turn stretched a few kilometers.
December 25, on your memory day, I congratulate everyone with the holiday of Spiridon Trimifuntsky! And you, dear Spiridonushka, I really ask me to help me and my native to become a little better. Now I have a very difficult time - I have nowhere to live. I ask you to lay down the word in front of the Lord so that he helps me solve my housing problem and helped find comrades and benefactors for the revival of a helping community in the name of St. Rev. Eldisabeth Feodorovna! Holy Father Spiridone, the moths of God about us! Thank God for everything - for grief and joy! Based on:
In summer, Greece is beautiful, warm and somehow especially cozy. The tiny blue lagoons with a good warm sea water are surrounded by picturesque, bizarrely rugged banks, completely covered with bright greens. A unique ecology makes any health camp in Greece an ideal place where you can stock up with energy and positive for a whole year. Warm water, healing pine air, golden sand on the coast - the best comrades for the defensive, tired of the city noise. Sports camps in Greece will provide a lot of opportunities to practice in well-known games or master something new: water polo, parkour, horse riding.
By purchasing vouchers to such a camp, parents give their children a chance to increase self-esteem, become more relaxed and targeted, strengthen the immune system and how to relax in front of the next school year. Interests are another important advantage that local camps for children and adolescents boast . Classes of acting, dance and vocals, participation in intellectual and humorous shows will teach the guys to behave naturally, be natural, will give them the skill of communication with peers. Teenage camps in Greece - a place where you can spend perfectly vacation, fun and with benefit!
Archimandrite Netary: I want to show children from Russia and Ukraine all the best that is in Greece.
September 15, 2010, when the relics of Spiridon Trimifuntsky arrived from Greece to Moscow, Archimandrite Netchyari (Antonopolus) arrived in Russia, which for many years he has been heading the department for working with the youth of St. Metropolis of FIV and Livadia. He is waiting in Perm and Kazan Trifon Women's Desert, and then in Verkhoturia, Yugorsk and the village of the Alyabyevsky Tyumen region, where children resting in the Orthodox summer camp of the Fiiv and Levady Diocese of the Elaladic Orthodox Church on August 25.
More than one hundred children from Russia and Ukraine went home, leaving a sea of \u200b\u200bimpressions after 10 days of pilgrimage on the holy places of Greece and a week of life in a camp located on the slope of Parnas Mountain. All these days here sounded Russian speech, Russian songs and prayers in the Church Slavonic language. But more often than other words could hear the Greek "Euhariristo", which in the translation into Russian means "Thank you." So the guys thanked them for the Games of the Transfiguration of the Lord of the Lord of the Sagmaty Archimandrite Netaria, who pregnantly agreed to talk with us.
- Your high-strength, for the Greeks your name is inextricably linked with the name of St. Luke (Warneletsky), Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimean, about which you tell in your book, documentary film, in conversations with pilgrims and camp participants.
"God gave me the honor to open St. Luka for Greece, where it was very loved by this holy, where there are already more than thirty churches dedicated to him. Many miracles are performed on the land of Greece on his prayers, everywhere there is his icons. The hospitality that the Greeks provide Russian and Ukrainian children with a challenging destiny is a gift to them from St. Luke. It was in Simferopol, where the relics of the saint are located, I met with children from Siberia (from the village of Alyabyevsky Tyumen region), and with the Crimean children from different orphanages and shelters, which I immediately invited to our camp. This year, some guys from Siberia arrived in Greece for the 6th or 7th time. And each time, young pilgrims are definitely visited by our Sagmatian Monastery, the founder of which is considered the Rev. Clement, as well as a small chapel in the name of St. Luke and the museum located in it. Children participate in Divine Liturgy, and then applied to our main shrines - a cross with a particle of the honest tree of the life-giving the Cross of the Lord, a particle of the heart of St. Luke, another particle of his saints, as well as to his bishop Mitre and Icon.
Numerous gifts brought by people who were healing or helped by the Holy Archbishop surgeon were located near Icons in a separate Kyote. Both Luke's saint, and Rev. Seraphim Sarovsky, who are very honored in Greece, help bonding the bonds of our peoples.
- With your participation about St. Luke, a wonderful documentary filmed (unfortunately, not translated while in Russian), books were published. Do you prepare a new edition about the Holy Archbishop, who was a professor of surgery and the laureate of the State Prize?
- Two or three years ago I drove almost all the places related to his name (where Archbishop Luke served, served his three references, etc.), - visited Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tashkent, where he was The monk, in Pendzhikent, where the bishop chaironia was committed on him, in Samarkand, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Veliky Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod, Vyritsk, Yekaterinburg, Kotlas, Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk, Petrozavodsk, Tambov, Tikhvin, Tobolsk, Tyumen, Torukhansk, Surgut, Khanty-Mansiysk, Yugorsk, in Diveevo, at Solovki, Valaam, traveled the Golden Ring of Russia and all of Ukraine. Very good relationships with us with Metropolitan Simferopol and Crimean Lazar. As a result of the trips, I assembled a huge material for the new book about St. Luke. We translate his books on surgery, various texts about him. A lot of work.
- In addition to St. Luka, whom, thanks to you so deeply honor the Greeks, what other holy guys can learn during the camp shift?
- Every year we visit the island of Kerkira (Corfu), which is located in the Ionian Sea. Usually we worship here to the relics of St. Spiridon Trimifuntsky and the Holy Queen Feodora. In August of this year, in the Cathedral of the island of Kerkira, we attached to the relics of St. Theodora, the wife of the Byzantine Emperor of Ferofila. She, as she could, kept her husband-iconobor from persecution of iconment, secretly worshiped icons in their rest, and after the death of her husband, becoming a full-fledged government of the empire, put the final point in the fight against the iconoborets. She installed in the 9th century Iconication in the Orthodox Church on the seventh universal cathedral, on which all the iconoclasts were betrayed by Anathema. In memory of this event, the church established the celebration of Orthodoxy celebration. On the icons of St. Theodora is always depicted holding holy icons in hand.
- In 2007, in the Danil Men's Monastery I had the happiness to make a trimifuntsky spiriton desk. On September 15, 2010, after meeting this shrine, Patriarch Moskvsky and All Russia, Kirill served a solemn prayer in honor of St. Spiridon in the Church of Christ the Savior, where it will be until September 17. From September 17 to September 19, she will be walked in the temple of the Ascension of the Lord ("Great Ascension"), from September 19 to October 6 - in the Danilov Monastery. From October 6 to 15, the shrine will be located in the Resurrection Novodevichy Monastery in St. Petersburg. You do not know who is accompanied by her?
- Delegation of the Eldelle Orthodox Church, led by Metropolitan Kerkirsky Nectarium. We studied with him, and later served on the island of Kerkira, where I accepted the monastic stop. Therefore, I feed to this place especially warm feelings. When on August 11, 2010, on the day of the memory of St. Spiridon Trimifuntsky, the Lord of Netary saw me with the children, he expressed regret that I did not warn it about our arrival. I lived all my life in Greece, but only the second time I was present at a stunningly beautiful Litanan - a solemn procession with the relics of Spiridon trimifuntsky.
I am sure that the children will never forget, as they blessed the holy, whom they read in Russia along with St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
St. Spiridon's memory is celebrated on Corfu Island five times a year. We were fortunate enough to participate in one of the glory moves with the relics of the saint, who in life became famous as an infinitely kind and merciful man. Our children standing on the square in front of the old palace merged with pilgrims, which were more than a thousand. The battle of the drums, the procession of the orchestras in the festive costumes of different flower, icons and Horugwi - is unlikely anyone else there is a colorful procession. It was unforgettable. When, surrounded by a surrender of the priests past us, vertical cancer with the relics of Spiridon trimifuntsky, it seemed that the saint would bypassed his lands, blessing people. He headed the Primary of the Orthodox Church of Greece Archbishop Athens and All Eldlands Ieronim II (in the world of John Liapis). And although during the camp shift, unlike others, we did not manage to attach to the shrine, we all felt the grace emanating from the relics. At the end of the procession, wishes were able to carry a laurel leaves on which the power of the Great Wonderworker stood.
- Your camp is located on the territory of the Male Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Lord Sagmata?
- No, our monastery is located at an altitude of 747 meters above sea level on the top of the Sagmation Mountain, half an hour from the city of Fiva, and the camp is located on the mountainside of Parnaas, at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level, not far from the Women's Monastery in the name of St. Jerusalem ( There was such a holy martyr in Greece). In both monasteries, children are always communioned (photo 1101, 3218, 3219), and in the monastery of St. Jerusalem in the middle of the sea flowers in the font several times over the summer passes the solemn rite of baptism. Sometimes the baptism of more than thirty children per shift. In August, 10-year-old Nadia Timonkina and the head of the group of children from Siberia Elena Dmitrievna Cherpalyuk were baptized. Their godfalls were two Grechany - Spiridul Dali and Katerina Kalambak, who, during parting, could not hold back their tears.
- Father nectarians, children from which countries come to your camp?
- Initially, the camp was designed for children of only Greek origin, but with the years they began to visit children from Serbia, Poland, Romania, Jordan. And since 2002, we accept children from the countries of the former Soviet Union - from Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Russia. Children from Kerch, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Tambov, Krasnoyarsk, Yighorsk, Nyagan, Soviet, other cities of Siberia come arrived. Not only Orthodox, but also Muslims come. Especially warm, friendly relations have developed at the FIV and Levady Diocese of the Eldelle Orthodox Church with the Simferopol and the Crimean Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. In 2004, six children from Crimea came to us for the first time, and a large group of orphans from orphanages and shelters of the Republic of Crimea rested in the camp. For six years, at the request of the Metropolitan of Simferopol and Crimean Lazar, we are accepted by the young residents of the Crimea in June of each year. And we must pay thanks to the Lord for this mutual help and support, for the fact that the fruits of cooperation are very abundant: our camp was able to visit more than 3,000 children from Russia and Ukraine. Perhaps our experience can come in handy to someone, because the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill constantly says that the church should pay more attention to children and adolescents.
- What is the purpose of your children's Orthodox camp?
- The goal of the camp - to teach children to live on church canons together, together that the children know about religion not only by teaching, but also lived a religious life, feeling the living presence of God. I try to show my guests the best thing that is in Greece is the warm Azure Sea, and the majestic mountains, and the historical relics of the ancient Eldla, and, of course, the shrines of Orthodoxy. From 8 to 18 August, more than a hundred children from Siberia, Moscow and Crimea, we traveled on two comfortable buses all Greece. One day came so many events and impressions that would have enough for several years. The last week (from 18 to 24 August), the guys lived in the camp of measured life, remembering their early raises (sometimes at 6, and sometimes at 4 am), long-moving buses, sea walks on the ferries, visiting the Acropolis, the most beautiful in Europe gorge, the picturesque caves with stalactites and stalagmites, in which after the 40-degree heat it was especially pleasant to be. In two of the four such caves we rode boats.
- The last camp shift this year began in Istanbul. Why?
- I really wanted the children to see not only Greece, but also Constantinople, Saint Sophia Cathedral, because I understand what value this church has for a Russian person. I think that if you saw the Holy Sophia, you can no longer watch anything else in the world. Istanbul becomes a shock for everyone. The Majestic Sophia Cathedral, the sea walk along the Bosphorus, lunch in the restaurant left the children of the indelible impressions. An unforgettable event was also visiting the heart of Orthodoxy - the Cathedral in the name of the Holy Great Martyr George Victorious in the Patriarchal Residence. Previously, she was in the Church of St. Sophia. After the fall of Constantinople, the patriarchal residence changed the place several times and, in the end, settled in the fan (district of Istanbul). I told the children that at the entrance to the cathedral, there are the relics of three saints, on the body of one of which are visible traces of torture. Also here are the relics of St. Gregory and St. John of Zlatoust, who were brought from Rome about two years ago. The niche right is a big relic for Christians - the remainder of the pillar on which Jesus Christ was tied before crucifying.
- Communication with the Universal Patriarch Varfolomeum, the Universal Patriarch Konstantinople (Archondonis), 232nd Patriarch Konstantinople, who met in Moscow in May 2010 with the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, Kirill and Russian President D.Medvedev, - Event for any person . Is it easy to organize his meeting with children?
- Patriarch Bartholomew is happy with children from Russia and Ukraine. So this time after the evening service, he arranged a treat for children, gave them bright backpacks, thanked them for gifts, and then photographed with them for memory (photo). I remember that the Patriarch Bartholomew said: "Under the cover of this beautiful temple, Greeks, Russians, Ukrainians gathered here, to pray to everyone together to the Lord to our Jesus Christ. And every time, coming from one bowl, we feel this unity. And when I served with Patriarch Alexy, and during worships with Patriarch Kirill in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in the Trinity-Sergiyev Lavra, I always had a feeling that I am at home. " When children from the Ukrainian village of Chernolov presented the Patriarch icon of St. Luke and Rushnik, he said in Russian "Thank you very much!". It was clear that he was overwhelmed with a special joy, because he very much honors this saint.
- Who was present at a meeting with the Patriarch Bartholome?
- Consul Greece, Metropolitan Germanos, Metropolitan Austrian Mikhail, Archimandrite, priests, parishioners.
- The love of Afanasyev from Yugorsk thanked the Patriarch Bartholomew for his prayers, asked his holy blessing and presented the drawings and other small gifts on behalf of children, as well as the book of children from Russia and Ukraine written by you.
"When Jana's Peacter, the photo of which decorates the cover of this book, went to the Patriarch Bartholomew, he said:" In the photo you are beautiful, but in life more beautiful. We all thank God and how a gift perceive such meetings with each other. We meet in the name of it. I am sure that you will spend time in Greece - both adults and children. And the next year come again. " After a common photo, all the children were singing the Patriarch "Much Summer".
- More recently, you spent children from Yugorsk and the village of Alyabyevsky and will soon see them again.
- Yes, I want to visit these and other children who came to us earlier, I want to meet with Elena Dmitrievna Cherpalyuk and Oksana Anatolyevnya Rasposova, heads of a group of children from Siberia, as well as with Valentina Adamovna Grevaya, head of the theater studio "Hot hearts" . It is from meeting with her and her wards in 2003 my acquaintance with the guys from Siberia began. This year she could not come due to illness. In addition, I will take to study in Greece that the very beginning, photo of which decorates my book. She and another 6 people were invited to study in Athens. First they will teach the Greek language, and then they will be able to get a higher education according to one of the specialties, which will be represented in their statement. At present, other young men and girls from Russia and Ukraine are studying at the expense of the Sagmatian monastery in Greece. Housing in Athens takes for them a monastery, where they come for the weekend.
- It is said that during the camp shift you usually take the boys to the holy Mountain of Athos, where in the Russian monastery of the Holy Martyr and the healer of Panteleimon are his holy power.
- Unfortunately, this time we could not go to Mount Athos. But on August 9, when the Orthodox Church recalls the Holy Great Martyr and the healer of Panteleimon, the children not only learned about his life, but also received as a gift to his icons with prayer and small books from the Russian World Foundation. The guys also heard the wonderful story of Natalia Sukhinina, about how Panteleimon healed it during the trip to Greece - in close proximity to Afona. Some children received from the Russian World Foundation and books about Holy-Surgeon, Worn-Yasenetsky, who, when he knead the bishop, Andrei Ufimsky (in the world, Alexander Ukhtomsky) wanted to give the name of the healer of Panteleimon, but hearing his sermon, hesitated by the name of the apostle - Sangelist, doctor and icon painter Luke.
The Russian World took care and that children also learn about other saints, one way or another connected with Greece. We were able to worship the relics of the Holy Apostle Andrew of the First-Called - His Honest Chapter, which is in the cathedral of Andrei First-Called in the city of Patras, and an expensive foot, in which a hole from the nail and which Jesus Christ was washed. Children with trepidation approached this shrine stored in the monastery of St. Andrew the First-Called on the O-ve Kefalonia. And how wonderful sang the grade of this and the other Saint Girls from the Siberian city of Nyagan! All of them sing in the team of "primroses", led by Svetlana Alekseevna Eremenko. During the move on the bus, the guys heard the guys and Andrei of the First-Called, and the Saint Recovers of Elizabeth Fedorovna Romanova, who founded 100 years ago in Moscow, Marfo Mariinsky Resident Mercy, and outside of its walls "Children's Lepta" circle, in which children of wealthy parents worked together with mothers On Sundays for the benefit of poor children.
- And how is this holy related to Greece? It is known that her relics are located in Jerusalem in the temple of St. Mary Magdalene.
- It turns out that in the Greek Island Corfu Princess Alice von Battenberg - the daughter of the princess of Hessian Victoria Battenberg, the eldest sister Elizabeth Fedorovna, created the abode of mercy in the example of his aunt, also called her Marto-Mariinsky. Princess Alisa dedicated her life to charitable activities in the example of his aunt, which she was immensely loved, and won many awards and honor to be buried on the Holy Land near Elizabeth Feodorovna. At the end of the camp change, participants of the Mercy Doors drawings received from the Russian World Foundation, sets of cards with species of Marto Mariinsky Residents of Mercy, photos, books and films telling about Elizabeth Fedorovna, Saint Recovers Icons, as well as the lives of other saints and magnets -Labs with prayers or quotes from the Holy Scriptures.
- Father Nectarius, I know that personally from you every child received on a pack of photos about life in the camp and will soon receive a video shooting you.
- Yes, it has already become a tradition. In addition, the participants of the last camp shift will receive a 45-minute film, filmed by Muscovites with the support of the Russian World Foundation.
- How did you meet this foundation?
- on the fishery of God called me from Livadia (this place under Yalta) the abbot of the temple in honor of the Exaltation of the Honest Life-Giving Cross of the Lord Archpriest Dimitri Gotskaluk, Vice-Rector of the Tavricheskoy Seminary, and said that the Russian World Foundation supported the project dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge about Russian Orthodoxy and Russian culture in Greece. I invited the participants of this project to come to the camp. So, thanks to the father of Dimitri and his assistant Tatiana Romanova, Muscovites came to us, who held the evening dedicated to the Holy Presznica Martyr Great Princess Elizabeth Fedorovna. Obviously, she invisiblely connected in this project Crimea, Greece and Russia. Dimitri's father is one of the organizers of the revived annual festival of charity and mercy "White Flower" - said that in 2008 a photo exhibition "from mercy to holiness" was held, dedicated to Elizabeth Fedorovna. By the way, the student of the Tauric Spiritual Seminary Alexander Glushkov came to the camp for the third time, who celebrated his 18th anniversary in the camp and received a book about Alexander Nevsky's life and a delicious cake as a gift. And on the same day, the cake and a book about Elizabeth Fedorovna received the birthday of 12-year-old Lisa Kunitsyn from Evpatoria.
- Tell me a little about yourself and your parents.
- I was born in Athens in 1952. Father - disabled World War II, Mom worked in a dry cleaning. Four sons were born in the family. From the ornament, I decided to devote myself to God. He graduated from the seminary, theological school in Athens and the theological Faculty of Athenian University. I always liked to communicate with the children, and I devoted all my life to work with young people.
- In the camp you spent twice a day with the guys conversations. What were they devoted to?
- The first conversation was devoted to the birth of the Church, the persecution of Christian firstarticles. For example, I told that the head of St. Helena is kept in thessaloniki - a young girl who suffered for Christ in the Turkish city, "she broke through three nails. With the interest of the guys listened to my memories of meetings with elders by Painish and Afanasiya, with the Father Nikolai, other saints. I was lucky to know about twenty holy people and devotees of our time. Therefore, these were stories not from the book, but from my own experience. But such topics such as "adolescence - critical age" were particularly rapidly discussed. Speaking about the crisis of transitional age (from 12 to 20 years), I emphasize that youth is a movement in the fog, when girls and boys themselves often do not know what they want, who will help them. After hearing my monologue, the guys begin to ask questions about the attitude towards themselves, to parents who, in my opinion, are unable to win in this revolution, shaking the whole being of a child, about their relations with peers, about complex sex relationships, love and love , about the concept of sin, about the dangers of abortion and holiness of motherhood, about responsibility for each other and for future children. These conversations did not leave anyone indifferent.
- How do you talk to the guys about such sin as an abortion?
- These days in Greece take up to 300 thousand abortions per year. Many do it without any feelings or remorse, believing that the embryo is not a living organism. So they say many scientists. But for the church is already a live soul. I tell children that, making an abortion, a woman committing murder and at the same time exposes the danger of herself - it is infected, cannot later give birth. But doctors do not warn about it. On the contrary, the abortions themselves are encouraged for money. A few years ago, in the philas, the husband of one woman demanded that she makes an abortion, beat her belly. I advised her to keep the child. The girl was born - the most beautiful in the philas and very smart. I learned to the doctor, became the pride of the Father, it is preparing to marry. Somehow she asked me why abortion could not be done. I told her her story about which I only know and her parents. If I were not insisted on her birth, it would not be. When I meet with another married couple, we always smile. Doctors did not advise them to give birth to a fifth child, and I persuaded to leave him. The child turned out wonderful, became the pride of the family.
- Russia recently held the first international festival of social technologies in defense of family values \u200b\u200b"For Life - 2010", directed against abortion (see Sitewww.russiaProlife.ru. ). The All-Russian Program "Holiness Maternity" is gaining momentum. This topic will be devoted to one of the sections of the World Public Forum "Dialogue of Civilizations", which will soon be held again in Greece on the island of Rhodes. What is done in this direction in your country?
- A non-profit organization is operating in Greece - the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child "Hugging" (Phone - 0030-210-88-28-788, fax - 0030-210-82-35-121). I think this problem is relevant for other countries. It is necessary to combine their efforts and develop cooperation. In the camp, we read out loud "the history of a unborn child." He describes a week for a week what happens to him in the mother's womb, how his bodies are formed, what he feels. For example, on the 12th week, he says that it becomes more and more like her parents, feels the experience of mother - her sorrow and joy. It is during this period a woman and takes an abortion. The last phrase of the child: "Mom, why do you kill me?". I am sure that children, having heard this story, will no longer forget her, she can teach them a lot and save them from the fateful step.
- Charity - is it a feature of your camp?
- Yes, unlike ordinary health summer camps, where children of wealthy parents or children from full families come, we invite the guys with a challenging destiny, sometimes nothing know about God, about the temple. Our goal is to provide socially unprotected children from orphanages, shelters, incomplete families the opportunity to live in the context of the Orthodox Christian community, feel God and know their neighbor, in other words - to penetrate the example of the first Christians the sacrament of Christ's church.
- But since such an extensive program requires large material costs. Who finances your camp?
- The material question is our most pressing problem. Funds are missing. This year we had to take a bank loan to pay for the admission of children expenses (annually they account for about 350-400 thousand euros), which are required to purchase charter flights, to the accommodation and nutrition of children, to the organization of pilgrim trips. Our charitable program is funded by the Diocesan Office of the FIVSKAYA and the Levady Diocese, the monastery of the Transfiguration of the Lord of Sagmatia, as well as many private individuals who have imbued with the feeling of Christian mercy and compassion for disadvantaged, abandoned children who endure violence in a modern indifferent and fierce society. Unfortunately, many people with prosperity have the opportunity to help, but do not make it. I am afraid that next year we will not be able to continue the traditional charitable program "Bridge of Love" on the reception of children from the Crimea and the cities of Russia. We hope only to help God. I love children very much, I have extensive experience with young people. Several times a year I am in the Crimea and, visiting such children's institutions as shelters and children's homes, I see in the eyes of unfortunate children impatience and thrill. When I hear the most frequently asked for me: "And when will we go to Greece?" - I can not answer "no".
- Now you are going to Perm, then in the Kazan Trifonov women's desert, located 60 km from Perm. On the blessing of the Metropolitan of Perm Solikamsky Methodius, the inexpension of the monastery of the monastery of Inokine Afus first visited your wonderful camp with three children - living in the monastery Anechka and Ilya and his brother bones.
- During my conversations with these and other children, I learned that they liked the rich program of the trip, the unique beauty of Eldla, monuments of ancient Greece, and, of course, the sea. According to 10-year-old Ane Avdeenko, most of all she liked the conversation about Elizabeth Fedorovna, an exhibition and a film about her. By participating in the Mercy Door Competition, she painted the portrait of Elizabeth Fedorovna and her husband of the Grand Prince Sergei Alexandrovich, who knew, unlike most other children. (photo drawing Ani 5706)
For participation in the competition she was presented by the portrait of the mother of Elizabeth and the children's book about Anna Kashinsky. Heavenly patroness Ani is the Holy Righteous Anna - the mother of the Blessed Virgin. In the monastery there is a particle of its relics, which was brought from the Holy Mount Athos. The miraculous icon of the Kazan Mother of God is also located here, and the place of the feat of the St. Trifon Vyatsky.
- June 11, 2011 will be 50 years since the death of St. Luke. Do you have a desire to spend in the camp the first international children's and youth readings "Archbishop-Luke Surgeon (Warno-Yasenetsky)" or Holy Elizabetan readings "White Angel of Moscow", dedicated to Elizabeth Fedorovna, who have been held in Smolensk for 4 years?
- If there are sponsors for holding a camp, which next year will be 10 years old, then it will be possible to think about these offers.
- Thank you, father nectaries. Let us hope that the Lord will not leave the program "Bridge of Love" without its patronage. We will pray that this bridge will connect not only by our countries, but also rich people with poor children, devoid of parental love and care, so that this bridge has repeatedly brought these children to Greece, to the camp, where it is easy to come to God, Which spoke to the disciples: "Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, because there are the kingdom of God. True I tell you: who will not accept the kingdom of God, like a child, he will not go into it. "

Greetings! Each parent, on the eve of the school holidays, worries an important question: where to send your child. The international, sports, children's camp with learning English and Greek invites children and their parents to a health recreation on a summer sports and educational program, which takes place under the auspices of the International, Cultural and Educational Association "Modern Argonauts", with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sport Greece.
I bring to your attention a full review of the program. All photos are made by the director, counselors and children.
Family vacation is wonderful, but for children at any age it is necessary to communicate with peers that parents cannot replace. Greece is famous for its picturesque beaches, the purest sea, ecologically useful products and is one of the most favorable countries for children and family holidays. During his stay in another country, it is important that the children are adopted to receive new knowledge, impressions and bright emotions. All this is possible!
The purpose of the program is to create the necessary conditions not only for a full-fledged recreation of children and young people in the summer time, but also to promote harmonious and comprehensive development.
Using a rich historical material, known in the global scale, ancient Greek literature and poetry, as well as relying on examples from the field of great discoveries of ancient mathematicians, philosophers and ancient Greek doctors, the organizers of the Program seek to replenish and enrich those necessary in the context of modern requirements for the formation of knowledge of its participants.
International, Public - Cultural Organization "Modern Argonauts" (οι νεοι αργοναυτες) By organizing a series of rolling games, quests, a quizzine aimed at the formation of a healthy psychological microclimate, also pays great attention to the acquisition by the guys with the skills of communicative communication, the ability to live in the team and easily establish contact.
Location
For the summer program, the richest in terms of historical monuments is chosen
Greece - Peloponnes (southern part of the Balkan Peninsula) of the Corinth region. The new comfortable track connecting the airport - Athens and the resting place, ensures all the conditions for bright indelible impressions that the program participants receive from the first minutes of travel.
The international, sports - educational center is located on the shores of the Sardonic Gulf, the Aegean Sea, which is today one of the unique in its purity and composition of trace elements.
The beach camp is located in a picturesque bay.
For recreation, it was not by chance that this one was chosen, on the one hand, the seemingly secluded, picturesque corner. Here, surrounded by wild landscape, as it is impossible to use all the natural conditions for the improvement, physical and spiritual development of young children, students and adults.
Separately, I would like to note another advantage of this edge: the eucalyptus and the pine forest park in the greenery of which is a sports and educational center. The centuries-old giants form a healing microclimate highlighting phytoncides killing pathogenic microbes and favorably affecting the human body as a whole.
Since the oldest times, Peloponnese won popularity due to its legendary history and archaeological monuments known worldwide. This is Sparta - the birthplace of Spartans, and Olympia with its unique museum, and the Corinthian Canal, and Kalamata - the center of the liberation movement of the Greeks from Turkish conquest, and, of course, the epidavr is the most ancient theater of the world.
The sports and educational center "Modern Argonauts" is located on the tourist base. Later I will add a photo of the rooms, now there are cooking on the opening. Each room has all the necessary conditions: shower, toilet, air conditioning, TV. The camp has a swimming pool.
