Russia - Vladimir - Assumption or Dormition Cathedral & Cathedral of Saint Demetrius
Vladimir is a city in Russia located 200 kilometers to the east of Moscow. Vladimir served as the country's capital city in the 12th-13th centuries.
[
Modern Vladimir is a part of the Golden Ring of the ancient Russian cities. Its chief monuments, White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, are inscribed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List.
The magnificent five-domed Assumption Cathedral was designed as a sepulcher of grand princes and dedicated to the holy icon Theotokos of Vladimir, which had been brought to the city by Andrew the Pious. The Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir (sometimes translated Assumption Cathedral) was a mother church of Medieval Russia in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Originally erected in 1158 to 1160, the cathedral, with six pillars and five domes, was expanded in 1185 to 1189 to reflect the augmented prestige of Vladimir. At of 1178 m², it remained the largest of Russian churches for the next 300 or 400 years.
The exterior walls of the church are covered with elaborate carvings. The interior was painted in the 12th century and then repainted by Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chernyi in 1408.
[
The warrior-like Cathedral of Saint Demetrius was built in 1194–1197 as a private chapel of Vsevolod the Big Nest and was consecrated to his holy patron, St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki.
The most striking feature of the cathedral are the extensive shallow relief carvings which cover the upper half of the exterior walls. The source of the artisans and provenance for these carvings seems to be an amalgam of many influences. The carvings consist of animals and plants as well as figures in rows and ornamental patterns, based on pagan beliefs and traditions, traditional Russia folklore or Christian theological themes. The most prominent scene, on the west façade in the central bay, features King David surrounded by angels and chimeras. King David is also featured on the south façade central bay surrounded by warrior saints. Other prominent figures, in addition to Christ and Mary, include Solomon, Alexander the Great, Hercules, warrior saints and churchmen. The north façade shows the donor, Vsevolod with his sons.

Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, 18 March (O.S. 6 March) 1844 – 21 June (O.S. 8 June) 1908, was a Russian composer and a member of the group of composers known as The Five. He was a master of orchestration. His best-known orchestral compositions — Capriccio Espagnol, the Russian Easter Festival Overture, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade — are staples of the classical music repertoire, along with suites and excerpts from some of his 15 operas.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's style employed Russian folk song and lore along with exotic harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements in a practice known as musical orientalism. Rimsky-Korsakov appreciated Western musical techniques after he became a professor of musical composition, harmony, and orchestration at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1871. His techniques of composition and orchestration were further enriched by his exposure to the works of Richard Wagner.
For much of his life, Rimsky-Korsakov combined his composition and teaching with a career in the Russian military as the civilian Inspector of Naval Bands, where he expanded his knowledge of woodwind and brass playing.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov left a considerable body of original Russian nationalist compositions. He prepared works by The Five for performance, which brought them into the active classical repertoire, and shaped a generation of younger composers and musicians during his decades as an educator. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is therefore considered the main architect of the Russian style of composition. While Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's style was based on those of Glinka, Balakirev, Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt and, for a brief period, Wagner, he transmitted this style directly to two generations of Russian composers and influenced non-Russian composers including Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas, and Ottorino Respighi.

The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya is an opera in four acts by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The libretto was written by Vladimir Belsky, and is based on a combination of two Russian legends: that of St. Fevroniya of Murom, and the city of Kitezh, which became invisible when attacked by the Tatars. The opera was completed in 1905, and the premiere performance took place at the Maryinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, on February 7, 1907.

Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir - outstanding monument of white-stone architecture of pre-Mongol Russia. Metropolitan Vladimir Orthodox church of the diocese; and National Museum. Historically, before the rise of Moscow, was the main (cathedral) church of the Vladimir-Suzdal, there married to the great reign of Vladimir and Moscow princes. Monument of Russian architecture of the XII century, which served as a model for a number of more recent councils, including the Assumption Cathedral Fioravanti Aristotle. One of the few temples in which are preserved the unique frescoes by Andrei Rublev.
In 1992 the Assumption Cathedral was included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The initial white-stone cathedral was built by the Grand Duke Andrei Bogolubsky in 1158-1160 years. Already in 1161 the cathedral was painted.
According to Tatishchev, by securing such bou him (Bogolyubsky) God hath given him masters for the structure thereof from smart land; For the remaining structure in Vladimir, but more so on the gate Gradsky apparently that was enough architectures ... Wizards also have been sent by the Emperor Frederic Pervago (Frederick Barbarossa), with whom Andrew was in friendship as below will be. However, it should be noted that a well-known stereotype associated with the arrival of Andrew masters of all lands applies only to work on the decoration of Cathedral of the Assumption: In the same year created byst Church of the Holy Virgin in Volodymyr pious and bogolyubnym Prince Andrew, and decorate th marvelous manifold icons, and Drago stone baa schisla and church vessels and top Her pozlati by faith as his, and his zeal for the Holy Virgin, God has given to him out of all lands all wizards and adorned w more than the INEGI of the Church. According to the chronicle text, it is not a builder, and an icon painter, jeweler and goldsmith.
Cathedral of the Assumption 1158-1160 years was shestistolpnym, trёhapsidnym constructed from high quality white stone (the stone temple Bogolyubsky quality was significantly higher than the galleries Vsevolod stone). Side dome of the square -. About 6.4 m Despite the fact that the temple was shestistolpnym his bushel visually perceived almost a cubic (without taking into account the length of the apses - about 22.5 m, width - about 17.5 m, height - about 21 meters ), the proportions were quite elegant. And in the interior and exterior forms aspiration up I felt.
Успе́нский собо́р во Влади́мире — выдающийся памятник белокаменного зодчества домонгольской Руси. Кафедральный православный храм Владимирской епархии; также государственный музей. Исторически, до возвышения Москвы, был главным (кафедральным) храмом Владимиро-Суздальской Руси, в нём венчались на великое княжение владимирские и московские князья. Памятник русского зодчества XII века, послуживший образцом для ряда более поздних соборов, в том числе Успенского собора Аристотеля Фиораванти. Один из немногих храмов, в котором сохранились уникальные фрески Андрея Рублева.
В 1992 году Успенский собор был включён в список памятников Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
Первоначальный белокаменный собор был построен при великом князе Андрее Боголюбском в 1158—1160 годах. Уже в 1161 году собор был расписан.
Согласно сообщению В. Н. Татищева, «по снисканию бо его (Андрея Боголюбского) даде ему Бог мастеров для строения оного из умных земель»; «по оставшему во Владимире строению, а паче по вратам градским видимо, что архитект достаточный был... Мастеры же присланы были от императора Фридерика Перваго (Фридриха Барбароссы), с которым Андрей в дружбе был как ниже явится». Однако необходимо заметить, что известный стереотип, связанный с приходом к Андрею «мастеров из всех земель», относится только к работам по украшению Успенского собора: «Того же лета создана бысть церква святая Богородица в Володимири благоверным и боголюбным князем Андреем, и украси ю дивно многоразличными иконами, и драгим каменьем бе-щисла и сосуды церковными и верх ея позлати по вере же его, и по тщанию его к святеи Богородице, приведе ему Бог из всех земель все мастеры и украси ю паче инех церквии». Согласно этому летописному тексту, речь идет не о строителях, а об иконописцах, ювелирах и золотильщиках.
Успенский собор 1158—1160 годов был шестистолпным, трёхапсидным, построенным из высококачественного белого камня (качество камня храма Боголюбского было существенно выше, чем камня галерей Всеволода). Сторона подкупольного квадрата — около 6,4 м. Несмотря на то, что храм был шестистолпным, его четверик зрительно воспринимался почти кубичным (длина без учёта апсид — около 22,5 м, ширина — около 17,5 м, высота — около 21 м), пропорции были достаточно изящными. И в интерьере, и в наружных формах ощущалась устремлённость вверх.

Father Superior of Pochaev Lavra commented on the claim to seize Lavra from the UOC
Father Superior of the Pochaev Lavra of Holy Assumption Metropolitan Vladimir (Moroz) commented in his interview on the recent claim of Ternopol Regional Council to confiscate the Pochaev Lavra from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and turn the monastery into the state conservation area. It is reported by the UOJ correspondent.
Commenting on the events, Metropolitan Vladimir, father superior of the Pochaev Lavra, tells that clouds have been gathering around the monastery for over 2 years now: politicians, journalists, officials have been trying to defame the sanctity, disseminate fake information, intrude into the smooth life of the monastery. The metropolitan is sure, however, this situation lurks no threat to genuinely faithful minds.
«The folks, being in elated spirits, hurry up to bend and kiss incorruptible relics, to ask of their intercession with God. As we were walking along the streets, we were favorably impressed by such a huge number of people who were participating in the Cross Procession which made us feel invigorated”, the father superior shares his impressions.
“The Ukrainian mass media sometimes highlight what is contrary to the reality, which is painful and disturbing for us to some extent – still there is such evidence. We are a part of the society and therefore, the experience of the Church and Orthodox people is our experience as well. A lot of facts prove our being somewhat despised”, states the Metropolitan. He warned those who have an ill vision of the Church they’d better change their standpoints in order not to lose their souls by committing acts similar to those of the XX century’s theomachists.
Besides, the Lavra’s father superior told about a new Transfiguration Cathedral in which feast worships were held on the occasion of the commemoration of Saints Job and Amphilochius of Pochaev. According to him, the construction of the Cathedral commenced in 2010, yet the first Divine Liturgy and blessing of the water were conducted by the deceased Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir (Sabodan) as soon as in 3 years after the beginning of construction works.
“Since then we’ve held worship services on big holidays in the Cathedral. We are extremely happy because it can accommodate 2.5 times as much people as the Assumption Cathedral can. I believe if God helps us fulfill our plans and intentions, it’ll be one of the biggest mosaic churches of the world”, the Metropolitan assures.
Metropolitan Vladimir particularly underscored the Holy Mount will extend its hospitality to all those who wish to kneel sincerely and devotionally before icons and relics, and advised to visit the sanctity at least once a year in regular days when a more quiet and slow paced atmosphere offers a lot more possibilities for spiritual enrichment.
Russia: Church of the Intercession on the Nerl
The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin on the Nerl River is an Orthodox church and a symbol of medieval Russia.
The church is situated at the confluence of Nerl and Klyazma Rivers in Bogolyubovo, Suzdalsky District, Vladimir Oblast, 13 km north-east of the ancient capital of Vladimir.
The church was commissioned by Andrei Bogolyubsky.According to some sources, it was built to commemorate Andrei's victory over the Bulgars and his son Izyaslav, who was slain in the battle. The exact construction date of the church is unknown.
The monument is built in white stone, and has one dome and four columns in the interior. Its proportions are elongated on purpose to make its outline seem more slender, although this architectural solution made its interior too dark for holding divine services.
For centuries, the memorial church greeted everyone approaching the palace at Bogolyubovo. In spring, the area would be flooded, and the church appeared as if floating on water. The church itself has not been touched by later generations; only the dome's shape has been slightly changed, and porch-galleries were added in the 12th-century, rebuilt in 18th-century and then demolished. The walls are still covered with 12th-century stonecarvings.
In 1992, the church was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the site White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal.

Greece: Kirill marks 1,000-year presence of Russian monks at Mt. Athos
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia performed the rite of consecration during a pilgrimage to Mount Athos, Saturday.
The Patriarch congratulated everyone who had gathered at the temple. I congratulate you all on a special event: we are celebrating the millennium of the first written evidence of the Russian presence on Mount Athos. And that started at the spot on which we stand now, he said.
SOT, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia (Russian): Dear fathers, brothers! I congratulate you all on a special event: we are celebrating the millennium of the first written evidence of the Russian presence on Mount Athos. And that started at the spot on which we stand now.
SOT, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia (Russian): It was here in the Ksilurgu Monastery, in the carpenters' skete of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin where the life of Russian monks began. Most likely it is this monastery from where Anthony came, the monk who founded the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Undoubtedly from here the Athonite influence spread on Russian monasticism. And this is Athonite baptismal font from which monastic tradition started to which all of us, Russian monks, belong.

Christian relic visits Russia
Thousands of Muscovites are lining up to worship one of the most revered Orthodox Christian relics - The Mother of God's Belt -- as it goes on display at the Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
The Orthodox Church believes in a legend that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, wore a belt woven from camel wool, and, after her death and Assumption, it came into the hands of the Apostle St Thomas.
The Christian relic, which came to Russia from Greece, is believed to have divine powers to cure infertility and disease.
In the first centuries of the Christian era, the Belt was held in Jerusalem.
By the end of the 4th century, the relic was taken to Constantinople (now Istanbul).
It had been repeatedly cut into parts throughout history. And only three pieces remain.
One of them is kept in Georgia, the two others are in Prato, Italy, and at Vatoped Monastery on Mount Athos in Greece. The latter is believed by Orthodox Christians to be under protection of the God`s Mother.
The Belt has never been taken from Athos before, with an exception only made for the month-long Russian tour across 14 cities this year.
The relic will be on display for more than a week ...

Two thousand year old Christian Orthodox relic visits Thailand
An ancient Virgin Mary relic touched by Jesus and believed responsible for countless miracles arrives in Asia for the first time ever.
The Orthodox Church in Thailand will shortly celebrate its 20th year in Thailand. What better way to honor the occasion then with the first ever visit of the Holy Ark of the Cincture to this nation and then onwards through South East Asia.
Every religion has its holy relics. Many are attributed to both small and great miracles. For the Orthodox Christian Church the 2,000 year old cincture or belt of Mary, the Mother of Jesus is one such precious artifact. The belt is kept in a box. Tradition says the belt or girdle was made by the Virgin Mary herself, out of camelhair and touched by Jesus Christ.

STORYLINE:
A Russian icon that hung for years in Pope John Paul II's private chapel returned home to the Russian Orthodox Church on Saturday, a gesture the ailing pontiff hopes will improve relations between the two churches.
A senior Vatican delegation, headed by Cardinal Walter Kasper, handed over the 18th century replica of the Mother of God of Kazan icon to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II during an Orthodox service marking the Feast of the Assumption in the Kremlin's Assumption Cathedral.
The 84-year-old John Paul, the Roman Catholic Church's first Slavic pope, has long hoped to visit Russia, and initially considered returning the icon himself.
But while the collapse of the atheist Soviet state made it possible to conceive of such a visit, the faith free-for-all that followed in Russia soured relations between the churches, giving birth to a new kind of antagonism and distrust a millennium after the Great Schism divided Christianity into eastern and western branches.
The Orthodox Church has accused the Vatican of trying to poach converts among Russian Orthodox believers, while the Catholic Church counters that it is trying to minister to the small Catholic community - about 600,000 people or less than 1 percent of Russia's 144 million.
Alexy emphasised earlier this month that the Pope is not welcome in Russia, telling President Vladimir Putin that the icon is just one of many copies so there is no reason for John Paul to personally deliver it.
The 32 by 26 centimetre (12 by 10 inch) icon, taken to the West after the 1917 Russian Revolution, was presented to the pope by a Catholic group in 1993 and has hung in his private chapel.
The original icon, which first appeared in the Volga River city of Kazan in 1579, is revered by Russian believers for its purported ability to work miracles, including the rout of Polish invaders from Russia in the early 17th century.
It hung in the Kazan Cathedral on Moscow's Red Square and the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg before disappearing.
A joint commission including representatives of the Vatican, the Russian church and the Russian Culture Ministry examined the pope's icon last year and determined it dated from around the 18th century.
But, nevertheless, the pope has said that it is dear to him, noting that it has watched over his daily work and the Vatican has emphasised this in talking about its return.
