Life of St. Alexia

The boy grew up very devout: strictly observed the post, there was a generous to alms, and in the rich clothes in secretly wore Visanitsa. Already in young years he wanted to leave a worldly life for serving God, but the parents decided to marry him. However, in the evening after the wedding, Alexey gave the bride his ring, announced that he decided to devote his life to God's ministry and, changing the commoner, left home.

On the ship Alexy fell to Mesopotamia, and from there he got to the Edessa, where the church of the Most Holy Virgin was shrouded with an uncomfortable image of Christ. Here, on Peniti, he stayed, selling everything he had remained, and distributed to the money revented by the poor. He lived Alexy on bread and water, and all the alms, which he was served, he gave the sick and weak. He devoted all his time to prayers. Strict post imposed on themselves, so changed his appearance that he did not even know the servants sent in search of unfulfilled parents. The servants filed Alexy alms, without recognizing her Mr.

It was 17 years old, while once the Ponoloire of the Church, on the Parity of which Alexy, did not receive the command from the Icons of God's command: to introduce the "man of God, worthy of the kingdom of heaven," which he worsens the Holy Spirit. After a long searches, the Ponomaricon appealed to the icon, with a request to indicate such a person, and the icon announced that the beggar on the pellets is the man of God.

The Ponoloire fulfilled the commandment of Our Lady and introduced Alexy to church. It became known about this case, and many began to read Alexia as the righteous. He is to avoid glory, secretly sailed on the ship in Cilicia. However, the fishery of God intervened: because of the storm, the ship was naked to the Italian shore. Relying on God's will, he went on foot to Rome, to the house of his parents, and asked him to shelter him. So, unrecognized, he returned to his father's house, where his father showed him mercy, allocated his place in the Seine, and fed to feed food from his table.

However, Alexy and here continued his own mobility life: she still fastened and prayed day and night, humbly suffered because of this mockery from the servants. Often at night he heard sobs of his mother and the bride, remaining in their house, and experienced unbearable flour from this, but the love of the Lord helped to carry it.

This passed another 17 years, during which Alexy continued to lead a ascetic life. The Lords informed it in advance about the day of the death, and Alexy, taking the Charter (paper from papyrus), left his life-friendly on her, asking for forgiveness from relatives.

On the day, when Rev. Alexy died, during the liturgy, which was served by Pope Innokenty in the presence of Emperor Honoria, the voice from the altar was announced: "Find a man of God, who leaves the eternal life, let him pray about the city." All experienced such fear that NIC rushed. Seven city searched, but the search for the righteous did not give results. During the vigil vigil, the dad appealed to the Lord with a request to indicate such a righteous, and this time the voice answered that the search for such a person needs to be in the house of Euteimian.

When the arrived there, Alexy was found already dead, but with a luminous face and with the Harty clamped in his hand. All attempts to pull it out unsuccessful. And only when the knee-free dads with the emperor turned to the deceased, as a living, with a request to break the hand, she was broken, and the charter was able to read. Parents and bride, sobbing, bowed the remains of the righteous.

The body of God of God on a richly decorated appaled was exhibited on the square. People immediately reached for her, and healing began to occur. Even after the emperor and dad moved the body to the church, and in a week they were placed in the marble tomb, it continued to fool around the world and give healing the suffering.

And the Lord comforted the spouses by the birth of Alexia's son. At six years, the Latches began to learn and successfully studied secular sciences, but especially diligently read the sacred writing. After becoming a young man, he began to imitate his parents: strictly fasted, he handed out alms and under rich clothes secretly wore Vseason. In it, the desire to leave the world and serve to serve one God. However, parents were going to marry Alexy and, when he reached the age of majority, they found him a bride.

After the engagement, staying in the evening alone with his bride, Alexy took the ring from his finger, gave her and said: "Save it, and let the Lord be with us, with our grace by arranging us a new life." And secretly left the house and sat down on the ship sailing to Mesopotamia.

After hitting the city of Edessa, where the delicious image of the Lord was kept, Alexy sold everything that he had a money in the back of him and began to live in the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Peniti and fed up. The reverend was fed only by bread and water, and the alms received with weak and the elderly. Every Sunday, he was involved in the Holy Taine.

Natives everywhere were looking for missing Alexy, by unsuccessfully.

The ponaroscience began to look for such a person, but I could not find a long time. Then he turned to the Most Holy Mother of God with a prayer, asking her to resolve his bewilderment. And again there was a voice from the icon, which argue that the man of God is the same, who sits on church pellets. The Ponolone found Saint Alexy and introduced into the church. Many learned about the righteous and began to read it. Saint, avoiding glory, secretly sat down on a ship sent to Kilicia. But the fishe of God judged otherwise: the storm took the ship far to the west and nailed to the shore of Italy. Blessed headed to Rome.

All those who were present in fear fell on Earth. The voice continued: "Find a man of God who leaves eternal life, let him pray about the city." Began to search all over Rome, but did not find the righteous.

From Thursday, on Friday, Dad, making a whirlpool, asked the gentlemen to point out the ashes of God.

Life tradition
Recognized by the now the most ancient Syrian version of the lives of Rev. Alexia does not call his name, and tells only about the flight of the saint from Rome and staying in Edessa. After 17 years spent in prayer and post, it says this legend, Saint died in a shelter for homeless and was buried in the general grave. Shortly thereafter, the Ponoloir of the Church, where he was holy, told the bishop of the human life of God, which he told him before the death. The bishop ordered with the honors to reburial the power of such a great saint, but his body miraculously disappeared from the grave, where they found only a miserable burial mercy. Since the Edessian bishop was called Ravela (412-435), it can be assumed that the life of the saint was written, probably on the basis of oral legend, in the second half of V - at the beginning of the 6th century.
The addition to this life amounted to Greek legend, who received a newness of the first IX century in Constantinople (perhaps, in connection with the relocation of the Syrian Monks-Akimites there). It is likely that it was the PRP. Joseph Pigsois († 886), making the Canon to the Holy, in which his name was first named - Alexy. According to this legend, Holy, seeking to hide from the glory spread in Edress about his righteous life, left the city on the ship and found himself in Rome, for which the second half of his mobilic life follows.

Based on these early Syrian and Greek life, the second Syrian version was created (probably around the 15th century), in which the combination of two led led to an indication of the "double death" of the Holy: first in Edress, then in Rome, in explanation of what was indicated by a miracle With an empty grave (not mentioned in the Constantinople tradition). In the first Arabic (carcass), an attempt was made to agree on both traditions, removing or smoothing noticeable contradictions, while the second Arabic edition dates solely to Constantinople and completely ignores the initial Edess.

However, despite the widespread reverence of the Alexia of God in Russia, it is known not so many temples consecrated in his honor. In Moscow, for about 1358, a female monastery was founded in the name of Alexy, the man of God, who was originally on Ostozhenka, in 1547, was translated "on Dalyol" (where the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is now), in 1837 - in the Red Selo (Church Building The name of the Alexia of God of God 1853-1858 has been preserved, there is now the house of children's creativity).

Then it was noticed that in the Arabic version given in the Latin translation of the Arab version, there is no part with the return to Rome, and the Holy is not named by name, and Mar Risha (Sir.- "Mr. Prince").
Masman and D.V. Dashkov proceeded from the fact that the Tale of Alexby man of God has Constantinople origin and the source of it is canon PRP. Joseph Moon. The considered opinion on the primaryness of the ancient Syrian version of life was first expressed in 1889 G. Paris and A. Amio. As later showed H. Drivers, the image of the nameless "man of God" is extremely characteristic of the Syrian understanding of holiness.
A special problem represents the attitude of the Byzantine legend of Alexia's man God to legend about the PRP. John Bushshchika. The main events of the legend about this holy, who lived in Constantinople in the first half of the V century, coincide with the Life of the Alexia of God of God - Escape on the wedding day, return and life in the hometown is not recognized. A number of scientists consider these saints with the same person, however, the Life of the Alexia of God of God is far from everything coincides with the history of the PRP. John.
