Russia: Holy relics given cosmonauts to boost spirits during ISS mission
Parts of the holy relics of Saint Seraphim of Sarov were handed to the Russian cosmonauts from the Cosmonauts' Training Centre, who will take them to the International Space Station (ISS) to protect the expedition members and strengthen their spirit, during a service in the village of Diveyevo, Friday. The official ceremony took place in the Seraphim-Diveyevo Convent.
SOT, Sergei Zalyotin, Russian cosmonaut (Russian): For us, cosmonauts, today is a saint event. It strengthens our spirit. This campaign will to some extent avert Russian people from the militant atheism and make us close to real faith.
SOT, Sergei Zalyotin, Russian cosmonaut (Russian): The relics will be packed in a soft box and the ISS Commander will carry them during the expedition.
SOT, Metropolitan Georgi of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas (Russian): The cosmonauts have addressed the church and asked to bless part of holy relics of Saint Seraphim of Sarov. They have an intention to take it to the International Space Station and conduct a special prayer there.

Holy Trinity Saint Seraphim Diveyevo Monastery and Sacred Springs
Serafimo-Diveevsky Monastery or Holy Trinity Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery is a monastery of nuns (convent) in Diveyevo settlement near Sarov (12 km), and near the city of Nizhny Novgorod (185 km), in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
The history of the Holy Trinity Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery began in 1760 when the Mother of God appeared to nun Alexandra in a dream at the village of Diveyevo and promised to base a great and unrivalled convent there. The Most Holy Mother of God has chosen Diveyevo to be Her favorite place, «the fouth and last dower on the Earth». She also promised to gather there the mercy and the grace of the Lord from all her previous dowers: Iberia (Georgia), Mount Athos (Greece), Holy Trinity Lavra of the Caves (Ukraine, Kiev).
Diveyevo is famous for its sacred springs. They are health-giving and cure people from different ailments.

Text_1_Diveyevo monastery prepares for Easter (TV-report, 2014)
Duration 3:50
A journalist spends a week before Easter in Diveyevo, the largest Russian monastery for women.
Morning prayers last almost 4 hours. Around 11 a.m. sisters leave the church, they’re already smiling and talking: the day can be started.
They have a quick meal and go to their ‘obediences.’ It’s what is called ‘work’ in the world. Each sister has some work, e.g. cleaning up the temple, cooking meals or meeting pilgrims. But on these days 460 of Diveevo sisters have only one main thing - to prepare for Easter.
This smiling young woman is mother Ioasafa. And this is her little culinary factory. In a tiny kitchen, sisters and their helpers turn cakes into beautiful presents. They will decorate almost 500 handmade cakes: for the sisters, for gifts and for sale.
Mother Ioasafa’s preparing to celebrate her 17th Easter at the monastery. She came here right after finishing school. Since childhood, she knew that she’d devote her life to the church. One day she came here with her mum my mother and felt that it was her place.
‘I asked the elder, father Kirill Pavlov. He said that I needed to stay in that place, but before that I had to live at home for some time and get a passport. Of course, I immediately started to experience various temptations. The Enemy prevented my coming to the monastery in every way. He didn’t want me to…,’ - says the nun.
But even in the monastery the path to God isn’t easy. You have to earn the right to become a nun. First you’re a novice candidate, then a novice, then an inokinya, and only after that you can be allowed to take the vows.
‘I want to say hello!’ mother Siluana is joking, causing laughter in the company. She teaches me to properly spread the glaze and wonders how the story with Pussy Riot ended in Moscow.
All this doesn’t seem like narrow-minded ideas about the monastery. But Diveevo sisters have never been isolated from the outside world.
To Diveevo monastery pilgrims travel by buses. Orthodox people believe that this place is an earthly lot of the Virgin.
Between morning and evening services it’s necessary to prepare almost 3,000 eggs for Easter. Onion peels have been collected since winter. It's no joke - 6 bags!
‘We’re a little tired and probably happy as it’s still the end of the Lent.’ At other times, mother Silvana is an auditor, there’s such a job here. Someone has to audit numerous monastic shops. Who better than her can do it, she’s a former accountant. ‘The Lord allows so that a person can easily renounce everything: status in the world, favourite job, family.’
Olga has a diploma of the Swiss Association of florists and a flower shop in Moscow. But several times a year she leaves everything and goes to the Nizhny Novgorod region to decorate Diveevo for the next holiday. About 20 same-minded people came with her, they all arrived from the capital.
‘Nowadays our job bosses understand that it’s not just that you go somewhere to relax, but it's a really necessary thing, and they make advances.’ Olya works in a travel agency as a middle manager, like almost everyone here: without much experience in floral design, but with a great desire to help.
Good Friday is the saddest day of Holy Week. Sisters fast strictly - till the end of Evening prayers it’s forbidden to eat. They pray a lot, and talk only if it’s really necessary. It seems that only the sister-photographer remembers about the world and quickly takes photos.
It’s all difficult to understand, but we got used to it after several days in a monastery. Instead of ‘Hello’ they say ‘bless me,’ instead of ‘Thank you’ they say ‘God save you,’ instead of ‘You’re welcome’ they say ‘To the glory of God.’ In such a place many doors will always be closed for a worldly person.
World Famous Huge Monastery in a Tiny Provincial Russian Village
Saint Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery (Свято-Троицкий Серафимо-Дивеевский Монастырь) is a monastery of nuns (convent) in Diveyevo settlement near Sarov (12 km), and near the city of Nizhny Novgorod (185 km), in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia. It is situated in a region considered to have immense spiritual significance
The convent is famous because of Saint Seraphim of Sarov (one of the most revered saints in Rusia). He served as Elder (Staretz -Старец) for the nuns of this monastery, though he only travelled to the convent once during his lifetime. He was a monk at the nearby monastery of Sarov. After the fall of communism, his relics, which had been feared lost, were discovered in the storeroom of a museum of atheism in Saint Petersburg and solemnly transferred to the Seraphim-Diveyevo monastery, which has come to be named after him.
The monastery is also famous for possessing the only portrait of Saint Seraphim that was painted of him by a contemporary, the Diveyevo Portrait. During the years of Communist persecution, the portrait was smuggled out of Russia and is kept to this day in the Novo-Diveyevo Convent in Nanuet, New York.

Magnificat
Canticle of the Vergin Mary (evening; Raga: Chayanot)
Luke 1:46-55
Refrain: O God, show the strength of your arm:
scatter the proud and exalt the lowly.
(or any other refrain)
My soul magnifies the Lord.
My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior
for he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid.
For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
For he who is mighty has done great things for me.
Holy is his name.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
He has shown strength with his arm.
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down princes from their thrones.
And has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things.
He has sent the rich away empty.
He has given help to Israel, his servant,
that he might remember mercy,
As he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his seed forever.

O Fervent Protectress, Mediatrix Diligent, Zealous Intercessor.
…..From Chesnokov’s cycle of Marian hymns, To the Most Holy Sovereign Lady, opus 43, this Troparion to the Kazan Icon of the Virgin Mary, embodies the spirit of Russian piety and veneration of the Most Holy Mother of God. Intensely supplicatory and evocative chant-like recitatives alternate with full choral sonorities characteristic of Chesnokov, making this work a potential crown jewel of a choral program……..
O fervent Protectress,
Mother of the Lord Most High;
You intercede for all before your Son Christ our God,
Granting salvation to all who seek refuge in your protection.
Protect us all, O Queen and Sovereign Lady,
For we are stricken with grief and wounded by sin.
With tears we stand before your pure Icon,
Praying with contrite souls and humble hearts.
All our hope we place in you,
May we be delivered from evil.
Grant to all what is expedient,
And save all, O Virgin Theotokos:
For you are the Holy Protection of your servants!
Павел Григорьевич Чесноков
Соч. 43 номер 6
Заступнице усердная,
Мати Господа Вышняго,
/ за всех молиши Сына Твоего Христа Бога нашего,
и всем твориши спастися,
в державный Твой покров прибегающим.
Всех нас заступи, о Госпоже Царице и Владычице,
иже в напастех и в скорбех, и в болезнех, обремененных грехи многими,
предстоящих и молящихся Тебе умиленною душею
и сокрушенным сердцем,
пред пречистым Твоим образом со слезами
и невозвратно надежду имущих на Тя,
избавления всех зол,
всем полезная даруй
и вся спаси, Богородице Дево:
Ты бо еси Божественный Покров рабом Твоим.
