One of the joys of the fall season apart from the lack of stifling heat waves is the celebration of the

bounties that the Lord provides His people ndash Thanksgiving

With the start of the new church year (September 14th

) we very quickly enter the season of Thanksgiving

ndash a time where we reflect upon all the bounties provided to us by the Lord

We begin with our families by giving the Lord thanks for our loved ones not just these with us but for

those who in the past have affected our lives with their love and guidance This gratitude extends to our

community our extended family where the ldquovillagerdquo is acknowledged for the opportunities it provides

us to live the Gospel of our Lord The virtues we are to acquire are loved within our village community

and the interpersonal relationship that it offers us opportunities to grow in the faith

And almost as an afterthought we thank the Lord for the physical bounties we commonly associate with

this season ndash the bounties of our fields and gardens

Let us offer thanksgiving to the Lord for all the blessings He bestows upon us ndash both the seen and

unseen both for our souls and for our bodies

And with these thoughts please accept both my and dobr Larysarsquos wishes for a fruitful and bountiful

new church year

May the blessings of our Lord be upon us all

With Christian Greetings

The Feast Day of the Protectress and Most Holy Birthgiver of God

About one thousand years ago the Saracens a nomadic Moslem tribe attacked the capital of the ancient Greek

Empire Constantinople The Saracens were non-Christian They Believed in Allah and were followers of

Mohamed They constantly persecuted Christians The Greeks (who were Christians) were unable to ward off the

attacks of the Saracen horde which fell upon Greece plundering as it made its way to Constantinople and

decimating the Greek army The citizens of Constantinople were struck with fear at the approach of the Saracens

for they knew that they would be unable to defend their city Death was imminent They must save themselves

But how Who would come to their aid Their only hope was to appeal to God So all the bishops and priests of

Constantinople the Emperor and Empress and all the citizens of Constantinople gathered in the church and

prayed both day and night They begged God to save them they prayed to the Mother of God they sang church

hymns

One pious Greek Andrew together with his disciple Epiphanius were also present in the church at that time and

prayed with the others It was late at night deep sighing could be heard all were praying with bowed heads

asking for Godrsquos help Suddenly Andrewrsquos voice was heard as he spoke to his disciple saying ldquoDo you see

brother the Mother of God the heavenly Empress who prays for the whole human racerdquo ldquoYes I do and am

astonishedrdquo replied Epiphanius Both righteous men were given the chance to see this wonderous vision of the

Mother of God surrounded by the Angels and Apostles praying and covering all present with Her white

ldquoOmoforrdquo (veil)

This event took place at the Church of Vlacherm in Constantinople October 14th 903 AD

Fear came upon the Saracen Horde And the Greeks renewed by this vision of the Mother of God attacked the

Saracens and drove them away From that time forward the Feast Day of Mary the Protectress was celebrated

We Ukrainians adopted the Christian Orthodox Faith from the Greeks We likewise adopted the Feast of Mary the

Protectress In Ukraine this holiday became a great celebration Our kozaks the Zaporozhians were defenders of

the Orthodox Faith against the Moslem Turks who often fell upon Ukraine The Mother of God always helped

them to repulse their enemies At the Zaporozhian Sich there was a beautiful church honouring St Mary the

Protectress the Mother of God Within the church was kept the wonderous icon of the Protectress and the

kozaks carried this icon with them into battle When the Muscovites destroyed the Zaporozhian Sich the kozaks

fled beyond the Danube taking with them the icon of the Protectress

The Mother of God rescued our forefathers many times from their enemies and that is why our nation greatly

loves its sincere representative before God Mary Many churches were built in her honour in Ukraine and on this

continent

Покрова Пресвятої Богородиці

Народна культура Календарні обряди

Свято Покрови віддавна відзначається українцями і крім релігійного значення є ще й днем українського

козацтва та днем вшанування воїнів УПА

З історії свята

Цариця Небесна Заступниця Небесна Воєвода непереможна Перемога ndash ці поширені у православній

християнській літературі імена Пресвятої Богородиці підкреслюють ту з її якостей що найбільше

прийшлася до душі нашому народу а саме ndash її покровительство та заступництво всього християнського

люду від ворогів видимих та невидимих

Історія свята Покрови або Третьої Пречистої як ще називали його в Україні розпочалася з появи Божої

Матері грецьким християнам міста Цареграда (Константинополя) На початку Х ст у Влахернському

храмі міста що було звідусіль оточене ворогами (сарацинами (арабами) за однією версією або русами-

язичниками ndash за іншою) зібралося багато його мешканців щоб помолитися Богу про порятунок У цьому

ж храмі зберігалася велика християнська святиня ndash риза Пресвятої

Богородиці Під час молитви блаженний Андрій Юродивий та його учень

побачили у видінні Богородицю із сонмом святих яка молилася разом з

усіма а потім покрила християн своєю хусткою (грецькою ndash мафорієм)

що сяяла чудесними променями Чутка про видіння швидко облетіла

місто підбадьоривши його захисників після чого вороги одразу ж

відступили До середини ХV ст памrsquoять про цю подію відзначалась у

Цареграді як місцеве свято а після його падіння у 1453 р про свято

забули

Покрова і козацтво

Матір Божу Покрову особливо шанували козаки як заступницю у боротьбі за

православну віру Особливо урочисто це свято проходило у головній святині

Запорізької Січі ndash храмі свПокрови

За свідченням Д Яворницького всього на Січі було тринадцять Покровських

церков а козацька старшина заклала чимало Покровських храмів і в інших місцях Збереглось багато ікон

Покрови Божої Матері на яких зображені фундатори храму разом із членами своєї родини що стоять під

омофором Богородиці

Богоматір Оранта Мозаїка ХІ ст Храм свСофії в Києві

З іконою Покрови на якій було написано laquoМолим покрий нас чесним Твоїм Покровом і ізбави нас от всякого

злаraquo рушили у свої мандри запорізькі козаки після знищення Січі Катериною ΙΙ

У козацьких селах ще до початку ХХ ст на Покрову після служби освячували в церкві зброю і проводили

військові паради

Із здобуттям Україною незалежності козацьке прочитання свята Покрови знову набуло своєї актуальності З

1999 року 14 жовтня вважається офіційним днем українського козацтва Сучасні козацькі обrsquoєднання у цей

день посвячують новобранців варять куліш та вправляються у бойових мистецтвах
