FEASTS and MIRACLES of OUR VIRGIN MARY THE HOLY THEOTOKOS
●
• Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "PETROVSKAYA" ("of Saint Peter of Moscow") 彼得夫斯卡亚 (1306) written by Saint Peter, Metropolitan of Kyiv in 1306
The Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "Of Saint Peter" was so called because it was written by Saint Peter, Metropolitan of Moscow, while he was abbot of the Ratsk Monastery near Volhynia. During a visit to the Ratsk Monastery by Saint Maximus, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Russia, Saint Peter gave him this icon as a gift. The Metropolitan took it to Vladimir at Klyazma, where his cathedral was then located. Upon the death of Saint Maximus, the abbot Gerontius, who wished to become the new metropolitan, intended to take this icon to Patriarch Athanasius of Constantinople. The journey of Abbot Gerontius was delayed, however, by a terrible storm at sea. During this storm, the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to him and said: "The office of bishop will not be conferred upon you, but rather on the one who painted My Icon." When he came before Patriarch Athanasius, Saint Peter was already in Constantinople and had been consecrated as Metropolitan. The Patriarch gave the icon to Saint Peter with the words: "Take the holy icon of the Mother of God, which you painted with your own hands, for this reason the Ever-Virgin Herself has granted you this gift, and She foretold your path." Saint Peter took the icon to Vladimir, and when the metropolitan cathedral was transferred to Moscow in 1325, the icon was placed in the Dormition Cathedral above the table of oblation.
• Appearance (1385) of the Most Holy Theotokos to Saint Sergius of Radonezh
Late at night, Saint Sergius was reading an Akathist to the Mother of God. Having finished his habitual rule, he sat down to rest a bit, but suddenly he said to his disciple, Saint Micah, "Be alert, my child, for we shall have a wondrous visitation." Scarcely had he uttered these words than a voice was heard: "The All-Pure One approaches!"
Saint Sergius rushed from the cell to the entrance, and suddenly it was illumined by a bright light, brighter than the sun. He beheld nearby in imperishable glory the Mother of God, accompanied by the Apostles Peter and John. Unable to bear such a vision, Saint Sergius reverently prostrated himself before the Mother of God.
She said to him, "Fear not, My chosen one! I have come to visit you. Your prayer for your disciples and your monastery has been heard. Do not be troubled, for your habitation shall prosper, not only in your lifetime, but also after your departure to God. I will be with your monastery, supplying its needs abundantly, and protecting it." Having said this, the Mother of God disappeared.
For a long time Saint Sergius was in an inexpressible rapture, and having come to himself, he went to Saint Micah. "Tell me, Father," he asked, "what is the meaning of this miraculous vision? My soul nearly left my body from terror!" But Saint Sergius was silent, and only his luminous face spoke of the spiritual joy which he had experienced. "Wait a bit," he said finally to his disciple, "my soul also trembles because of this wondrous vision."
After a while Saint Sergius summoned two of his disciples, Saints Isaac and Simon, and shared with them the vision and the promise of the Theotokos. They all sang a Molieben to the Mother of God. Saint Sergius spent the remaining part of the night unable to sleep, calling to mind the divine vision.
The appearance of the Mother of God at the cell of Saint Sergius, at the present place of the Serapionov Chamber, was on one of the Fridays of the Nativity Fast in 1385. The commemoration of the visit of the Mother of God to the Trinity Monastery and of Her promise was reverently kept by the disciples of Saint Sergius.
On July 5, 1422 the holy relics of Saint Sergius were uncovered, and soon after an icon of the Appearance of the Mother of God was placed on his grave. The icon was honored with great reverence.
In 1446, Great Prince Basil was besieged at the Trinity Monastery by the armies of Princes Demetrius Shemyaka and John of Mozhaisk. He barricaded himself in the Trinity Cathedral, and when he heard that he was being sought, he took the icon of the Appearance of the Mother of God and with it met Prince John at the southern church doors, saying: "Brother, we kissed the Life-Creating Cross and this icon in this church of the Life-Creating Trinity at this grave of the Wonderworker Sergius, that we would neither intend nor wish any evil to any of our brethren among ourselves. Now I do not know no what will happen to me here."
Monk Ambrose reproduced the icon of the Appearance of the Mother of God to Saint Sergius, carved in wood in the mid-fourteenth century.
In 1552, Tsar Ivan the Terrible took the icon of the Appearance of the Mother of God on his Kazan Campaign. The most famous icon, written in 1588, was by the steward of the Trinity-Sergiev Lavra, Eustathius Golovkin, on a board from the wooden reliquary of Saint Sergius, which was taken apart in 1585 when the relics of Saint Sergius were placed in a silver reliquary.
Through this icon, the Mother of God repeatedly protected the Russian army. In 1657, Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovich took it on the Polish campaign. In 1703, the icon took part in all the military campaigns against Swedish King Charles XII, and in 1812 Metropolitan Platon sent it to the Moscow military levy. The icon was carried in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, and during World War I it was at the quarters of the supreme commander-in-chief in 1914.
A church was built over the grave of Saint Micah and at its consecration on December 10, 1734 was named in honor of the Appearance of the Most Holy Theotokos and the holy Apostles to Saint Sergius of Radonezh.
On September 27, 1841 the church was restored and consecrated by Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow who said: "By the grace of the All-Holy and All-Sacred Spirit the restoration of this temple is now accomplished, fashioned before us in honor and memory of the Appearance of our Lady the Most Holy Theotokos to our holy God-bearing Father Sergius, to which Saint Micah was also an eyewitness."
The commemoration of this grace-bearing event is rightly marked by the consecration of a church, however, this whole monastery is a memorial of that miraculous visit. Therefore, its purpose in the continuing centuries was the fulfillment of the promise of the heavenly Visitor: "This place shall endure."
In memory of the visit of the Mother of God at the Trinity-Sergiev Monastery, an Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos is sung on Fridays, and a special service in honor of the appearance of the Mother of God is celebrated at the monastery on August 24, on the second day of the leave-taking of the Feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos.
SAINT MARTYRS AND CONFESSORS before the 20th century

• The Martyrs of Utica (Massa Candida, The White Mass or The White Group) 153 Martyrs including women, at Utica (258)
About 258, proconsul Valerian of African visited Carthage and commanded that all Christian prisoners be brought before him. In his Sermon 306, Saint Augustine of Hippo numbers them as 153, although the Roman Martyrology gives the number as 300. The proconsul order that a huge pit of burning lime be prepared in the midst of a field. Next to it a pagan altar was set up with salt and liver for sacrifices. Setting his tribunal in the open field, the prisoners were brought before him and offered the choice of sacrificing or being thrown into the fiery pit. Unanimously they chose death. It was said that they are called Massa Candida or White Mass because their remains conglomerated into one great white mass; however, it now appears that it is the name of a place near Utica.

May have written a gospel, now lost; it is mentioned in other writings of the time. May have preached in Asia Minor, Ethiopia, India and Armenia; some one did, leaving behind assorted writings, and local tradition says it was Bartholomew. Bartholomew is the patron of bookbinders, butchers, corn-chandlers, dyers, glovers, furriers, leather-workers, plasterers, shoemakers, tailors, tanners, vine-growers, and Florentine salt and cheese merchants. He is invoked against nervous disorders and twitchings.
