What does “Enter to the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos” mean? The history of the holy entry into the temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Starting to tell about the Holy Entry at the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos, following it, there is no information about it in the canonical gospels. First, the podia is guessed in the apocryphal texts, zocrema, in the Greek Protoevangelism of Jacob (II century) and the Latin Gospel of pseudo-Matthew (IX century). Ts dzherela, at his side, imitate the dream of the transmission of the Church, as if it were an invisible part of the Divine Revelation.

The main plot is the holy history brought to the Jerusalem Church of the Most Holy Theotokos by the fathers, the righteous Joachim and Ganna.

For a long time they didn’t give birth to children, righteously making friends they gave a cloister - if they have a child, they should dedicate it to the Lord God. The Lord felt the prayers of Joachim and Anni. If a friend had already lived close to fifty years, Vin gave them a child - a daughter was born, they called Marya (in the translation from the Jewish - “lady”, “nadiya”). Nadali Mary is small to become the Lord and Nadiya of all those who believe in the Messiah. According to the father of the Mother of God, she resembled the tribe of Yudin, the family of King David, and by her mother - the family of the High Priest Aaron. In such a rite, the Old Testament prophecies were born, that the future people of the Messiah linger, even Vin maw stand from the royal and priestly canopies at once.
After the people, the daughters of the righteous Joachim and Anna offered sacrifices and gave one more house - their daughter does not walk the earth, the docks of stench cannot be introduced to the temple of God.

Here we hear from the Transmission of the Church about the entry into the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. Tsya urochist became a podia, if Mary turned three roki. The fathers brought the little girl to the temple, de її stuccoed the immaculate spirits from the lit lamps. Go, scho to lead the temple, formed from fifteen schablіv. Mary without third party help rose at all gatherings, and nazustrich їy viyshov the high priest. Here the Transmission of the Church reminds us that the righteous Zechariah is the high priest, the father of St. John the Baptist, the Baptist of the Lord.

Mary was introduced to the Holy of Holies - the central place of the Jerusalem temple. The whole place was destroyed for a special command of God: even if, for the law, only one high priest could go there, and then once on the river. Mary was admitted to the Holy of Holies, like the Mother of the Savior, Like a mother born in Her. Liturgical texts are equal to God's spiritualized hood (shafka, box) (1 Chr. 15).

Because of this, Mary is deprived of life and service in the temple - then Vaughn started with the other virgins, wove the Holy Letter, spun that awl of the priestly shati. Following orders, the Virgin Mary lived at the temple until 12 years.

A few hours later, after the end of the wedding in the temple of Mary, it was necessary to make friends. However, Vona told the priests that we would save a value before God. At that very moment, a decision was made about those who had Mary as a patron, because the fathers had already died at that hour. At the result (as a result of a special foal), Mary was entrusted to the old tesla Josip, who also resembled the family of King David. Vlasne, at what point will the rhyme about the head sense of the saint end.

How did the entrance to the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos reach the storehouse of the great twelve holy Christian Churches?

The successors take into account that the appearance of the saint was uninterruptedly connected with the hour of the reign of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. Tsim budіvnitstvom bulo marked the entrance to the temple Mother of God.
Starting from the 8th century, Holy Entry is briefly mentioned in deyaky monastic words, and Patriarch Herman I of Constantinople writes about the new two homilies (conversations). Starting from the 9th century, it is sacredly gaining wide popularity throughout the Christian Close Descent. Remaining before the great twelfth saints, the Entry took place already after the XIV century.

For instructions, the fathers of Mary - St. Joachim and Ganna, could not conceive a child for a long time. The righteous prayed diligently and promised that they would have a child, they would give him to the service of God.

All-Vishnish feeling of their prayers - a girl was born to them, like a stench they called Mary. If he had vypovnilos three fates, the fathers would vikonate their obityanka. They dressed the child in a short robe and brought her to the Jerusalem temple. At the entrance to the girl's check, go down from fifteen coins. Irrespective of those that the Virgin Mary was less than three years old, she was able to pull up a little and went to the top on her own. Then, as a retelling, the High Priest vviv the Blessed Virgin at the Holy of Holies, where from us people only once on rivers of wine entered with pure sacrificial blood. After that, Mary lost her life at the temple.

Little is known about the earthly life of the Mother of God. It seems that she spent an hour at prayer, she read a lot, she was engaged in needlework.

The entry into the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos is holy, as it came to us from the Church Transmission. On the first day of the day, the Christians will guess how St. Iaokim and Anna brought the Trinitarian Virgin Mary to the Jerusalem temple.

And at the same time - "The History of Jacob about the Nation of Mary", or "Protoevangelism of Jacob" (II century), and "The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew" (the Latin version of the children of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, which was formed up to the IX-X centuries, but is based on more early "The Gospels of Childhood").

Saint Gregory Palamas. Word on Introduction at the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos

Like "the tree is known by its fruit", and "the tree is good fruit to do good" (Mt.7: 17; Lk.6: 44), then the Mother of Goodness Self and the Father of Eternal Beauty, do not be unimaginably better, , what can the natural and supranatural world know? For the Modern and Immutable Image of the Goodness of the Most High Father, the Pre-Eternal, Pre-existing and Most Blessed Word, for the invisible love of mankind and the sleepiness before us, yearning to take on Our image, so that from the inferno we would burn our being to Himself, to know everything, I will find the Servant, Everlasting, Yak we glorify and miraculously Introduce Yakoy at the temple - at the Holy of Holies, it is holy. God prescribes the first for ever for the salvation and beast of our kind: She is robbed from the number of those who are victorious and glorious, both for their piety and prudence, and for God-pleasing words and right.

If the blame for evil - the serpent magnified over us and got us from his bait. A lot of reasons suddenly came up against us and disregarded our nature: zadrіstvo, supernity, hatred, injustice, indulgence, cunning and, on the supplement to the whole, and deadly force in the new, he himself gave birth to wine for himself, like the first defender in the right life . Having blamed Adam for evil, having shaken Yogo Tim, who was right from the earth to heaven, the stars of justice of the guilt themselves were thrown off and, having congratulated, having attacked Adam with a greedy fierceness, to inspire desires to drag Yogo to death. Adzhe zazdrіst is not only a father of hatred, but of murder, as if he was above us, tsey, verily, a hater of people, cunningly adhering to us, more than unfairly, having blessed you as a volodar over earthly creatures for death, created in the image and likeness of God. And the oskіlki vіn not mav enough courage, to attack oneself especially, then vіn going into cunning and cunning, having looked at the sight of a sensitive snake, turning to the earthly, like a friend and a brown radnik, whose truly terrible enemy and evildoer is not remembered to go to his own battle I will delight my power with deadly force, as if I will cut it off, pouring it into the people.

Yakbi Adam, if it was possible to mitigate the Divine commandments, then he would appear to be able to overcome his enemy and become victorious for deadly desecration; but on the other side, having voluntarily given in to sin, having recognized the blows and becoming a sinner, and from the other side, being the roots of our family, having already made us deadly bait, those who would help us to find in ourselves a deadly wipe of the soul and body and rebirth. sobі life forever, for our family it was necessary to have a mother's new root. We need to be the mother of the new Adam, who is not only sinless and owing to be unbearable, but at the same time to forgive sins and forgive the early sick to the new, - and not only volodya to life, but to revitalize the building, to keep the participants alive like cling to the New and lie down to the New generation, and not less than representatives of the generation following Him, but quiet, who already died before the New. To this, Saint Pavlo, the great trumpet of the Holy Spirit, vigukuet: "Be the first person ... I live in my soul," and friend Lyudin "has the Spirit of life" (1 Cor. 15:45).

Ale, the cream of God, no one is sinless, do not live and cannot admit sins. It was necessary for that new Adam to be not only a Human, but God, so that Vin Himself according to His own life and life, and wisdom, and truth, and love, and mercifulness, and be a blessing in order to bring old Adam to update that lively mercy. , wisdom, truth, with all sorts of ways, the culprit of evil, having given us death.

In such a rank, just like before, as this calm hearted people magnified over us with hell and hatred, and the Head of life and controversy gave us His peaceless love for people and His goodness. Truly, Vin greatly longed for the order of His creation, as if salvation was supposed to renew Yogo Sob in such a way, as if I were to blame for evil, wanting the death of God's creation, which I believe in putting a person under his power, and himself with the tyranny of gravity over him . And just as having delivered himself a victory and a person’s fall to injustice, injustice, deceit, his cunning, so the Desire, having obtained His own defeat of guilt of evil, and having improved His creation with truth, wisdom, truth.

It was right, thorough justice, that our society, as if voluntarily was involuntarily and hostile, itself re-entered the struggle for victory and threw off voluntary slavery. To that God and it was a good thing to take upon Himself in the presence of us our essence, miraculously joining him hypostatically. Ale, the dawn of the High Nature, the purity of which is not corrupted for our mind, it was impossible with sinful nature, it was impossible to cleanse the first. Therefore, for the conception and the people, the gift of purity is necessary for the bula Diva is absolutely immaculate and Most Pure.

Ninі mi y svyatkuєmo remember about those who, if they took a breath. For the existent form of God, the God of the Word and the Sin of the Cosmic and the Sovereign of the All-Vishish Batkov, to fight the Syn of the Human, the Syn of the Prisnodiv. “Jesus Christ is a school and day, the same and forever” (Heb. 13: 8), immutable behind the Divine and blameless behind the people, Vіn alone, like the prophet Isaiah prophesied about New, yogo "(Is.53: 9), - Vіn alone was not conceived in lawlessness, and the people of Yogo were not in sins, in contrast to that, like to yourself and about another person, witness the prophet David (Ps.50: 7) . Vіn buv zovsіm clean and navit not requiring purification for Himself: for us Vіn having taken on Himself suffering, death and resurrection.

God is peopled in the form of the Immaculate and Holy Devi or, rather, in the form of the All-Pure and All-Holy. Tsya Diva is not only more for any corporeal defilement, but to inspire more and all sorts of unclean thoughts, and conceived Її she was mad not for the greed of the flesh, but for the autumns of the Holy Spirit. If the Virgin lived far away from people and was in a prayerful mood, spiritual merriment, then Vaughn proclaimed to the angel of the blessing: “Behold the servant of the Lord: wake Me in the wake of the word” (Luke 1:38) and, having conceived, gave birth. Henceforth, in order to appear as a Lady, good for the future, the God of the first hundred appoints and z-help of the same in the cob of the century, he robs Siya, which ninth are praised by us, Everlasting. Give respect to those, the stars began to frighten. From the blue of Adam's letters of God's blessings, the marvelous Seth, who for propriety calls, for the magnificence of feelings, according to the height of honesty, revealing to himself the spiritualized sky, to which I was honored with the curse, for which the Virgin - the Godly chariot of the Most Heavenly God - is guilty of being born on earth. Therefore, the whole family of Seth was called “the sons of God”: for the third generation of mothers, the Son of God was born, so that the name Seth means rise, or the resurrection (from the dead), like, in the light of seeming, and the Lord, who proclaims and grants immortal life . we believe in Im'ya Yogo. I am strict about the exactness of which prototype! Seth of the people was Eve, as she herself said, the deputy of Abel, whom Cain drove behind the zadroshchi (Buttya 4:25), and Sin Divi, Christ, was born for us the deputy of Adam, who from the sickness killed the guilty and the patron of evil. Ale Seth did not resurrect Abel: more than serving as a prototype of the resurrection, and our Lord Jesus Christ resurrected Adam, the shards of Wine for the earthly є Life and Resurrection, for which and the blessing of Seth were awarded, for the hopes of God, adoption, called the children of God. And what in the aftermath of these superstitions were called the sons of God, I show the first of such names and after the decline of the son of Seth, who, having taken away the deception, Enosh, who, for the words of Moses, was the first to rely on those who were called on the name of the Lord (But. 4:26).

In such a rite, shaping the future Mother of God, beginning in the very blue of Adam and passing through the mustache of the generation of hours, for God's providence, to reach the king and prophet David and the intercessors of the yogic kingdom and family. If the time has come for the guard, then in the house of that family of David's, they were guarded by God by Joachim and Anna, like, wanting to be childless, but for their good life and good luck, they were best for everyone who resembled the tribe of David. And if in prayer they asked God for the permission of serenity and condemned the People, from the very Yogo childhood, dedicate it to God, the Mother of God will vote for them and be granted in the form of God, like a Child, - so that in such a richly good boulder the Reverend and Most Pure Diva was conceived, so, in such a rank, and the wealth of the souls of the prayer was flooded, and the Blessed One became the Batkіvnitsa of the wealth, behind the body imperishably gave birth to Him Who, behind the Deity, had earlier for generations the appearance of God the Father. І axis, if the righteous Joachim and Anna succumbed, that the stench was honored with their bajanna and God's cloister їm dreamed of in the distance, then stink, like true God-lovers, from their own side, hurried to vikonate their cloister, given to God, to the temple of God truly, the Holy and Divine Child-Bogomatir Diva, only Vaughn stopped eating milk. And Vaughn, unconcerned for such a small age, was blessed with Divine gifts and more understanding than others, that she was above Her, and she showed with her intimacy, that she should not lead Її to the temple, but that Vauna herself should come to the service of God for the power of on the native wings of the pragmatic sacred that Divine love, being perekonana, that she was introduced into the temple - at the Holy of Holies and rebuvanna in a new one, a bag for her rіch. Otozh and the high priest, having babbled, that on Otrokovitsa more for all the Divine grace, having encouraged to instill Її in the Holy of Holies and reconcile us with a desire to wait for tsim. And God, having taken Divi and sending You through His Angel, I taєmniė їzhu, zavdyaky like Vaughn zvіtsnyuvalas for nature and became pure for the angels, floating with whom in the service of Heavenly spirits. And not only once Vaughn was brought in at the Holy of Holies, but the bula was accepted by God to be rebuked with Him by the stretching of chimalih rokіv: for through her, in her own time, heavenly cloisters were born and were granted for eternal living by those who believe in її beautiful people. Otozh, why Vibrana from the beginning of a century among the chosen ones appeared to be the Holy of Holies. It’s small Its body is purer for the cleansing spirits themselves, so that it could receive the Word of the Most Holy Father to itself, - Everlasting Mary, like the Treasury of God, for the wealth of the Nin, a bula was placed at the Holy of Holies, so that at the time of the hour, as if it were, serve until wealth and embellish to a premium. To this Christ God and glorify His Matir as before the people, so after the people.

Well, thinking about zroblene for us through the Blessed Virgin Mary of salvation, with all your might, thanks and praise. And indeed, it’s like a druzhina (about how they confirm the gospel to us), like they felt the trochs of the Lord’s words, they gave Yogo to the Mother in kind, raising their voice and saying to Christ: “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the nipples that ticked you” ( Luke 11: 27), then more of us, Christians, as if we were baptized in the hearts of the words of eternal life and not only words, but miracles and suffering, and through them the revelation of our dead nature, and the ascension of the earth to heaven, and an immortal life has been promised to us, and an immeasurable order, then more and more, after all, we can’t help but glorify and innocently enjoy the Mother of the Head of salvation and the giver of life, holy conception and people of Її і Ninі Entry Її into the temple - at the Holy of Holies. Let's move ourselves, brother, from the earth to grief, transfer from the body to the spirit, let's overcome the banquet of the fast, and not the timchas. Nadama carnal contempt should be salted, as if to serve as a bait against the soul and soon pass away. We encourage the gift of the spiritual, as incorruptible. Let us open up our mind and our respect in the sight of life's pikluvannyam and celebrate yoga in the heavenly depths - at those Holy of Holies, where the Mother of God is hanging around. For in such a rite and our hymns and prayers for the God-pleasing vіdvagoy and sternness will reach Her, and we zavdyaks Її intercession, at the same time from the right blessings, we will grow with the decline of the future, inexhaustible blessings, the grace and love of people for the sake of our Lord, who was born . befits glory, power, honor and worship with the unearthly Yogo Father and with the Eternal and Life-giving Spirit of Yogo nі, and all the time, and for ever and ever. Amen.

Metropolitan Anthony Surozky. Entry into the Church of the Holy Mother of God

In the name of the Father and Sin of the Holy Spirit.
On the cob of Christmas Lent, we reverently svyatokuєmo Entry of the Mother of God to the temple. The temple is the share of God, the place is, like God is inseparable, the place, no thought, no thought, no will can not be otherwise, like the will of God. І Axis The Blessed Virgin Mother of God in youth, children of fate, is brought to the temple of the Lord, enters that region, de, the cream of God, that Yogo way, there is nothing. Vaughn zanuryuєєtsya in prayer, Vaughn to lay down on the Living God, Vaughn vіddaєtsya zhіnochіy svіy pratsі, like you can be viraz - like only the heart of a person is strange and pure - love and turboti. I am zanuren in the element of Divine presence and human worship, Vaughn grows, from rock to river, to the full world of His maturity. And if the great Archangel of the Annunciation stands before Her and speaks of those who, mysteriously and unmistakably, will be born in Her Lord, She will come to You unguardedly, in trembling and humble obedience: Os, the servant of the Lord, let me be from the will of Yogo.
For the cycles of tsіlkovitoї zanurennosti in the mystery of God, in the mystery of love, Vaughn became the building of Tієyu, through the way it is saving, transforming, sacrificial and horseradish of God's love to see the world. Saint Gregory Palamas, it would seem to us that the instillation of the Son of God would have been so impossible without the will of Mother Yogo of the earth, like without the will of the Heavenly Father. Pishovshi in God's will, in the darkness of love to New, and in New - to all creatures, Vaughn could help me God, holy, mysteriously im'ya, as if spivpade from Yogo's specialness, my own thought, my own heart by His will and with all His body, and the Word became a body, and to that we reverently look at the unique, single holiness of the Mother of God.

Ale, it’s not for nothing that sacredly placed in front of our day, go nazustrich to the Rizdva of Christ, the instillation of the Word of God. And we should prepare ourselves so, so deep down, so cleanse our hearts, sanctify our thoughts, improve our will, sanctify our bodies, so that eternal life, manifested in Christ, could be born in us, so that we, zanurenni in Yogo death, stood by Yogo Resurrection at the day of our baptism, could effectively grow up with Him, so be united with Him, like a member of the body among themselves, like a mustache to become one whole with the head. The Mother of God gave birth to the world, the Word of the creator, that Love is in the air; And it was given to us by prayer, faithfulness to the Evangelical path, love to God and to the neighbor, saying to ourselves, giving to ourselves without excess and to God and our neighbor - and it was given to us to unite with God so secretly that we will be resurrected with Christ and in Christ. In front of us at once lie the path - let's go through this path not just in a diva in the end of this path, but flocking alive, creative participants in this path, so that the Lord would be born and that with Him a new one would be born, triumphant, everything that overcomes love and life is eternal. Amen.

In Russia, in all places and villages, many and fun fairs were held. Nayvіdomіshoy Bula is wide Moskovska. Fish auctions were held here, and peddlers urged the buyers to taste buns, pretzels, gingerbread, mullet, pirozhkiv from the heat, from the heat. They all washed it down with hot honey drink - beaten.

On the screen saver, a fragment of the painting of the Entry into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos(Titian, 1534-1538)

4th breast of the Holy Church celebrates the twelve sacred - Entry into the Church of Our Most Holy Lady of the Mother of God and Everlasting Mary!

W Archbishop Dimitriy of Rostov wrote a saying about the great and holy radiance: The saying about the entrance to the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos, as we are placed below:

Before If the Blessed Mother of God, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of the Mother of God, rose three years in the life of the people, the holy righteous fathers Її, Joakim and Hannah, were honored as a viconate given to their obitnitsa - to serve God's people to their child. They called the stench to Nazareth, where they lived, all their relatives from the royal and the archbishop's family, for the righteous Joachim Bov himself was from the royal family, and Yogo's retinue, holy Anna, was from the family of the archbishop, as well as the choir of immaculate maidens. they prepared a rich candle and sharpened the Blessed Virgin Mary with royal writing, as if to celebrate the holy fathers.

Saint Yakiv, Archbishop of Jerusalem, in the name of Joachim, it seems like this:

- Call the immaculate daughters of the Jews, so that the stench took the candles to burn.

In the name of the righteous Annie, Saint Herman, Patriarch of Tsaregradsky, seems:

- I am consecrating that obitnitsa before the Lord, as I hung in the camp of sorrow, and for whom I chose the choir with candles, called the priests, asked relatives, saying to everyone: please all with me, for now I have appeared as a mother, that father, leading my Daughter not to the king of the earth, but to God, the King of Heaven.

About the royal embellishment of the God-maiden, St. Theophylact, Archbishop of Bulgaria, says:

- It was necessary that the introduction of the Divine Maiden would be a good day, so that such a revered and opulent Perlina would not hang around a miserable robe; next was the very royal robe, dressed її, for the greatest glory, adorn it.

Thus, having ruled over everything that lay down to a fair and glorious conquest, the stinks violated the road that led Nazareth to Jerusalem for three days.

Having reached the city of Jerusalem, the stench went straight up to the temple and led there the temple of God, the trinity unit, the Blessed Virgin Mary. In front of her, there is a choir of girls, from lit candles, as if to celebrate St. Tarasius, Archbishop of Constantinople, who puts these words into the mouth of St. Annie:

- Repair (move), divi, to wear candles, and tell me to the God-maiden.

Holy fathers, one from one side, a friend from the other, having taken their daughter by the hands given by God, with tenderness and honor led them among themselves. Behind them, the impersonal relatives, susides and acquaintances walked radiantly, holding candles in their hands and reminiscent of the Blessed Virgin, like a star of a bright moon, to admire all of Jerusalem. Saint Theophylact describes it in the following order:

- Forget the Daughter of the Father's Day and be brought to the Tsar, who wants to be beautiful, - to be guided not without honor and not without glory, but with urochistmi wires. The axis is shown by Vaughn from the Batkiv's house with glory, with a wild applause of his departure; fathers were inherited by relatives, judges and all who loved them; the fathers hushed up the fathers, the mothers hushed up the mothers; the maidens and divi, with candles in their hands, were blowing the God-maiden. The whole of Rusalim, like a dayake of the dawn of a colo, scho syaє z mіsyatsem, zіbravsya marvelous nі nebuvalі droti y bachiti tririchnu Otrokovitsa, honed with such glory and I will honor with a candle. And not only the bulk of the earthly Jerusalem, but the heavenly ones - holy angels - glorified the glorious introduction of the Blessed Virgin Mary and, swayed, marveled, as if sleeping the Church:

Having risen from the visible choir of immaculate maidens, the invisible choir of the incorporeal ranks of ishov, calling the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Holy of Holies, at the command of the Lord, otochyuyuchi Її, as an obedience to the judgments of God. About St. George, Archbishop of Nicomidia, say this:

- The fathers were already leading the Virgin to the doors of the temple, honed by the Angels, with the sleeping joy of all heavenly forces. Bo Angels, although they did not know the power of the secret, prote, for the command of the Lord, served at the entrance to the temple. Father, stench first, wondered, bachachi, that Vaughan would be an expensive dish of honesty, that Vaughn would wear signs of eternal purity and maє such flesh, as if the sinful filth did not hit, but in a different way, vykonuyuchi the will of the Lord, zdіysnja I was punished.

So, with honor and glory, not only by people, but by angels, the bula was brought to the temple of the Lord Most Pure Otrokovitsa. I’m afraid: for like the Old Testament ark, which carried manna with it, which served only as a prototype of the Blessed Divi, bringing Buvs to the temple with great honor, with the collection of all Israel, then with greater honor, with the collection of Angels and people, it was guilty that I was introduced the temple of that very spiritualized kіvot, which maw has manna - Christ, - blessed the Virgin, recognized in the Matir of God.

When the Old Testament kivot was brought to the temple of the Lord, in front of him was the king of the earth, who reigned over Israel, the Godfather David; and at the entrance into the temple of God of God’s spiritualized sac, Most Pure Divi, blowing not the earthly king, but the Heavenly one, to whom we pray today: “King of heaven, comforter, souls of truth.” That this king was cherubed by the Tsar's Dora, about the holy Church in the last days of sleep, say this: "The saints are holy, holy and immaculate by the Holy Spirit." When the ark was brought in, there was music and singing, but David having ordered the chiefs of the Levites to put up the songs, so that the stench played on the organs, psalters, cymbals and harps, and sounded the radio songs; when the Blessed Virgin was introduced, it was not earthly music and spivs that greeted gaiety, but the spivs of angels, invisibly in front of whom they were present. For the stench, at the entrance of the Holy of Holies to the service of the Lord, sang with heavenly voices that the Church was calling, as if sleeping in kontakion: “Grace is known, that in the Spirit of the Divine, that the Angels of God sleep: this is the heavenly dwelling place.” Vtim, the introduction of the Most Pure Mother of God at the temple є і not without people's songs. For the righteous Ganna (in the words of St. Tarasius) to tell the maidens, what to go ahead:

- Sing Tsyu laudatory song, sing Їy pіd sounds of harp, viguknіt Їy spiritual song, glorify Її on the ten-stringed psalter.

Well, the Church is calling, saying: “Ride Joachim and Anna in the Spirit, and the innocent appearances of the Lord sing, psalmically sleeping, and shake Yogo matir.”

It sounds that the choir is not occupied, that the names of the Blessed Virgin were blowing, the deacons sang songs from the psalms of David.

Vіdpovіdno up to tsgogo, і ukladach ninіshny canon kazhe signified divas: "Start, divi, and sleep songs, scho tremayut candles with your hands."

The holy righteous fathers Joachim and Anna themselves, for the memory of St. Tarasius, sang on their lips such a song of the forefather David: І you want the King to decorate yours” (Ps. 44:11-12).

On the occasion of this glorious order of the God-maiden, for the rose of Theophylact, the priests who served at the temple appeared, and with sing-songs they sang the Blessed Virgin, that the Mother of the Great Archpriest was small, that the heavens passed. Grafting it to the door of the temple, Saint Ganna, as Saint Tarasius writes, said this:

- Go, my daughter, to the one who gave me to you; go, Sacred Kivot, to the merciful Vlad; go, Doors of Life, to the merciful Giver; Go, Ark of the Word, to the temple of the Lord; go to the Church of the Lord, Joy and Joy to the world.

Zechariah, like a prophet, that bishop, that kinsman, she said to Joachim:

- Accept, Zakhariy, a clean cover; accept, priest, the immaculate Ark; accept, prophet, the Censer of non-material vugill; accept, righteous, spiritual censer.

I still righteous Ganna, as if vindicating holy Herman, said to the high priests:

- Accept, prophet, my daughter, given by God; accept and, vvivshi, plant її on the mountains of the shrine, in the life prepared by God, do not drink anything, God knows that having called її here, not remaining His will about Her.

It was there, - write blessed John, - fifteen steps at the church entrance, for a quarter of five hundred psalms, more on the skin of these steps by priests and levites, who went down to serve, buv five psalms. The axis was placed by the righteous fathers of the unguarded youth on the first step. Vaughn soon went by itself along other gatherings, was not led by anyone and was not supported; Climbing up to the very top scree, Vaughn became strengthened by the invisible power of God. Everyone marveled, cheering the trinity young woman, who was rising through these gatherings so soon, and especially the great high priest Zacharias i, like a prophet, marveled at him for the revelations of God, rozumiv in the future tsієї Divi, more than wine, after the words of Theophylact, bu embraced by the Spirit. Likewise, Saint Tarasius should say that Zechariah, having inhaled the Holy Spirit, yelled:

- Oh, pure Otrokovitsa! Oh, Divo, you don’t know, calm down! Oh, the girl is beautiful! Oh, the beauty of the squad! Oh beauty daughters! You are blessed among the squads! You are glorified by the purity of the world, You are seen by the virgin, You - let Adam's oath!

Tremothering the Otrokovitsa, Zechariah, - like Saint Herman, - with a joyous spirit in the Holy of Holies, seeming like this:

- Go, viconnanny of my prophecy, go to the Lord's obitnitsa, go, sealing the covenant of Yogo, go, reveal Yogo for the sake of, go, vikonnanny of Yogo's mystery, go, mirror of all the prophets, go, refresh the unburned sins, go, lie down , go, New Divine Gift. See now at the lower part of the temple of your Lord, accessible to people, and after a few hours - at the mountain it is impregnable for them.

The maiden, having fun and being glad, went to the house of the Lord, like a chamber, more than a little and was small for a century, less than three years, but she finished it for the grace of God, as if before known and before God before him, like laying down the world.

So the Most Pure and Blessed Virgin Mary was brought into the temple of the Lord. With whom, the High Priest Zacharias zdіysniv nadzvichayna and for all marvelous on the right: vіn vvіv unity in the tabernacle itself, called “the holy of holies”, like a bula behind another curtain and de bov the ark of the covenant, overlaid on the sides with gold, and cherubs. 3-5), where it was not possible for only the women to enter, but for the priests, and only the high priest could enter there, once per river. There, the High Priest Zacharias saw the Blessed Virgin place for prayer. To all other maidens, who live near the temple, for the wedding of St. Cyril of Alexandria and St. Gregory of Niskogo, there was a place for prayer between the church and vvtar. Zhodnoi z tsikh div by no rank could not come until vvtarya, more than the most successful was defended by him by the high priests; But the Most Pure Divine, at the hour of the introduction, it was not fenced in to enter at the inner vіvtar, for a friend to hang and pray there. It was broken by the high priest: behind the cryptic mind of God, about which Saint Theophylact speaks like this:

- The first priest, who used to be unselfish, was embraced by the Spirit of God, realizing that this young woman is a receptacle of Divine grace and that she will stand before the Special One of God. Having guessed what was said in the law about the ark, that it was supposed to be with the Holy of Holies, I once realized that it was written about the Otrokovitsa, without hesitation and without hesitating, having ventured, contrary to the law, to see the Holy of Holies.

Like the blessed John, the righteous fathers Joachim and Anna, having handed over the child of their will to the Heavenly Father, brought a gift to God, the sacrifice of that kiss, and, having taken the blessing of the high priest that whole cathedral of priests, turned, with the mustache of their relatives, home and ruled the banquet, have fun and zavdyaki of God. Blessed is the Diva, in the beginning of her life in the house of the Lord, she was bula in the place for the girls, more the temple of Rusalim, the awakening of Solomon and the sweat of the awakening and awakening of the new Zerubbabel, the mother of a rich life history, like a writer Josip, ancient. Zovni, up to the walls of the temple, there were stone boules, thirty in number, okremі one in one, space and arc of the garni, there were іnshі budinki on them, on the other third, so that the number of them was ninety, and the stench was small to live in them. Visota, їх dorivnyuval visoti temple; the stench was nіbi stovpi, that the bells pіdtremuvali yoga wall. At these boudinkas there were places for various households; the divi lived quietly, dedicated to serving God until the hour; The widows lived well, that they gave the house of God to save their purity until death, like the prophetess Anna, daughter of Fanuilova; The men who were called Nazarenes lived well, like Chentsi, who lived without a hat. All these individuals served the Lord at the temple and earned money from the income of the temple. Other budіvlі bіdvedіnі vіdvedіnі for perebuvannya mandrіvnіkіv i pribultsіv, scho came from afar to bow to Jerusalem.

Trierichna youngak, Most Pure Diva Mary, as it is said, bula vіddana in a place for girls, and besides, girls were assigned to her, according to litah more grown up and maisterna in handwriting and handicraft, so that the Mother of God from childhood learned and handicraft and handicraft at the same time. Holy fathers, Joachim and Anna, often saw Її; Hanna, like a mother, especially often came to marvel at her Daughter and, moreover, Її. For St. Ambrose’s words, that historian Georgiy, Diva, without difficulty learned the Jewish Old Testament scripture thoroughly, - and not only the scripture, but also the handicraft learned well, like talking about those saints Epiphanius:

- Vaughn woke up with the power of her mind and love until vchennya; she didn’t just turn to the Holy Letter, but she adjusted herself at the spinner’s liner and the flax at the sewing with a seam. Vaughn amazed everyone with her reasoning; she was busy with such chores, which could be necessary for the priests at the service at the temple; Vaughn learned how to hand-craft, so that she could, for her Sin, get her own food; Vaughn with her own hands made a chiton for the Lord Jesus, not sewing, but all the fabrics.

The Blessed Virgin (like the same Epiphany himself), like other girls, a splendid hedgehog was served in the temple; ale її z'їdali zhenki that mandrivniki, for Vaughn, like sleeping on the Church, ate heavenly bread. Saint Herman to speak about Her, that Vaughn tried to call out to the Holy of Holies, taking licorice like an Angel; and Saint Andrew of Crete says so:

- At the Holy of Holies, like at a palace, Vaughn received that imperishable hedgehog.

With whom the command came, that the Blessed Virgin often rested at the inner tabernacle, that she was behind another curtain and the title of “Holy of Holies”, and not in the splendid place for the virgins at the temple, because I wanted the place for living to be prepared in this place, the prayer was not hindered to go to the Holy of Holies. Arriving in the new age, Vaughn, having learned the Holy Letter from her youthful years and diligently engaged in handicrafts, more and more adjusted to prayer, and the whole night and most of the day is spent in prayer. She went to prayer at the Holy of Holies, but for needlework she turned back to her life, for, according to the law, it was impossible for the Holy of Holies to work, but to bring it in. Vaughn spent the greater part of her life in the temple, behind another curtain, at the inner tabernacle, at prayer, and not at the life she brought in, for handicrafts. That is why it is said by all the teachers of the Church that the Blessed Virgin, until the twelfth fate, spent all her life at the Holy of Holies, for she rarely went to her madness.

Well, it was like life for the young Vіtsі, having described it to Iron like this:

- Blessed is the Virgin, who is still in her childhood, if she was at the temple with other, single girls, she spent her life in order, in the early morning until the third year of the day she stood at prayer; from the third to the ninth, it was set in handicrafts and reading books; in the ninth year, she began her prayer anew, and did not pinch the doti, the docks were not the first Angel, from the hands of such a Vaughn, ring out the yla. Thus Vaughn grew more and more in love with God20).

This kind of life was going on in childhood, if Vaughn still lived with maidens - one-year-olds. If during the skin day the vagrant grew and zmіtsnyuvala spirit, vona thrived and in deeds and zmіtsnyuvalas in prayer and pracelebnosti, striving for strength, the docks were not illumined by the power of the All-Vish. And what about the high priest Zacharias, bringing a hedgehog, raising his eyes in his eyes, about what St. Gregory of Nicomedia, apparently, spoke about:

- At that hour, like a won, with a skin day, grew up, with litas grew in it and the gift of the Holy Spirit, and it was in conjunction with angels. Tse and Zacharia recognized; more if wine, for the call of the priest, buv at the vіvtary, then having bowed, that there is an over-the-top look, roaming with the Virgin and give it to me. Tse buv Angel; And Zakhariya was cheering, roaming: what is this new and supra-divine manifestation? Looks like an angel, and speak to the holy maiden; helpless for the image to bring їzhu, scho to live the body, non-speech for nature, give Dіvі speech cat. An angelic appearance here is only for priests, and that is not often; to a woman’s status, dragging to such a young lady, the coming of an angel, we see now, we are invisible. Yakby won in the midst of the zamіzhnіh, and, obsessed with the disease of innocence, prayed for the gift of her fruit, as if Hanna had prayed, I would not zdivuvavsya that it was revealed, like a bachelor, but the girl did not ask for it; An angel, now, I’m running, є Їy, why am I coming to an even greater streak, zhah and suffocation, what will happen? What good tidings should an angel come? And what is the authority of the zha, what is brought to them? What kind of good thing is there to take? І who prepared її? How did the hand crush this bread? Bo angels have no power to fight about the strength of the flesh; yakscho and richly someone was eating them, however, a human hand prepared tsyu zhu. The angel, who served Danilov, even if and in the blink of an eye, by the power of the Almighty, not through someone else, but by himself to vikonate those who were punished by you, sending a prote for whom Avakum with vessels, so that the unimaginable vision of the Angel, who is grumbling, would not gleam hedgehog. Right there, the Angel himself comes to Otrokovitsa, - on the right, full of mystery, which I marvel at; Vaughn in her childhood was vouchsafed such gifts that she could serve helplessly. What is it? Why will the prophets of the prophets not come to life? Chi is not the meta of our ochіkuvannya? Chi did not see Neї acceptance єstvo, scho want to come vryatuvaty our read? For this mystery was given earlier, and the Word whispers to You, as it could serve as a mystery. And it’s not like she’s already chosen to serve as a secret, but the girl herself, I’m amazed at how. What a happy ti dіm Іzraїlіv, for whom I live like this today! What a happy you, the root of Essey, what a silly woman looks like, what can you create the light color of salvation! What a happy and I, who enjoys such bachelors and prepares for the Divine in the name of the Word.

The introduction to the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos is a Christian holy, based on the Sacred Retelling about those that the fathers of the Mother of God, the holy Joachim and St. Anna, consecrating the convent to consecrate their child to God, at the trieric vіtsi brought their donkey Mary to the Jerusalem church, with whom she lived until her betrothed . from righteous Josip.
Christmas in Orthodox Church 21 fall leaves for the Julian calendar (4 breasts for the new style) and lay up to twelve saints, Catholic Church 21 leaf fall for the Gregorian calendar, at the Coptic Church 29 leaf fall.
The Holy Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos near the temple falls on the cob of the Christmas fast, starting from the Svyatkovo services for the Entry in the temple, they begin to sound new songs, as if they are getting ready for the radio sound of the Unspoken Christ.
Holy Entry into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos May 1 day before the holy day and 4 days of the holy day.
Christian churches, consecrated in honor of which saint, are called Vvedensky. Zokrema, near Moscow - Vvedensky Tsvintar.

Podiya, laid the foundation of the Holy.

The entrance to the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos is not guessed in the canonical Gospels and in the apocryphal staves of the Greek Protoevangelion of Jacob (ch. 7. 2-3) (2nd half of the 2nd century) and the 1st Latin Gospel of Pseudo-St. Matthew (IX st. ). Tsі dzherel vengeance sleep retelling, supplemented with details from bіblіnih books, sho mаyutnє znachennja (Par 15, Ps 44), as well as from the evangelical history of Strіtennya (Lk 2. 22-38). Zgіdno with these dzherelami, if before the conception of the Mother of God, її mother of St. Ganna, an angel appeared with a call about the possible birth of her child, then she gave the abode: serve Yom all your life."
If the Blessed Virgin blew up three roki, the fathers sang their obityanka to vikonate and straightened up to the Jerusalem temple. By the entrance to the temple there were shouting Joachim young divi from lit lamps, so that young Mary fell in love with the temple with her heart. The Blessed Virgin, unimpressed in her lifetime, easily pulled up the steep shabls of the temple and was blessed by the high priest (according to the Orthodox order, Zechariah, father of John the Baptist) and rich priests. For the special revelation of Vaughn, like the spiritualizations of the cauldron of God, the bula was introduced at the Holy of Holies, where, having the right to enter, only the high priest, once on the river, with pure sacrificial blood.
Mustaches present at the temple marveled at the unremarkable footsteps. Tsim bula revealed a special role for the share of people.
Before the hour of rebuking in the Jerusalem temple, Mary swung at once with the other pious maidens, sang the Holy Letter, occupied herself with needlework and prayed fast.
Dimitry of Rostov sends a message from Grigoriy Nikomidiysky about seeing Mary in the Temple as an angel: “ Vaughn was at the meeting with the Angels. Tse and Zacharia recognized; more if wine, after the call of the priest, buv at the vіvtary, then having bowed, what is the supra-primary look, roaming with the Virgin and give it to me. Tse buv Angel; And Zakhariya was cheering, roaming: what is this new and supra-divine manifestation?". Ієronіm Stridonsky, guessing seeing Mary as an angel, protesting: “ Yakbi htos having quenched me: how the Blessed Virgin spent the hour of youth, I would have yoma: it was known to God Himself and the Archangel Gabriel, the inaccessible guardian of the Її". When tsimu Ієronіm u " Message to Iliodor“Remember that Mary from early in the morning until the third year of the day spent an hour in prayer, then until the ninth year she was engaged in needlework, and then she prayed anew until the angel was with her.
Zgidno with the Protoevangelion of Jacob, at the Temple Mary stayed up to twelve rokiv. At the end of the hour, Vaughn, as if she had saved the money and taken away God, was, according to the law of the fathers, entrusted to the turbots of old Josip, the Betrothed її.
Why did Priest Zacharias, after glancing at his names, miraculously turn the cudgel into the hands of Mary, and call on the young Josip.

Theological darkness.

Being the day of the apparition of the Mother of God to the world, the Holy Introduction is the day of the resurrection in the light of God-brought Divi - the day on which it began Її departure from the world, which continued with the stretch of the earthly life and ended with the Її "undivine" Dormition.
And as in the Rizdvi of the Most Holy Theotokos, the flesh was prepared, in the presence of pure blood, the son of God was to be born, then on the day of the entry into the temple, the vihovannia and preparation of the soul until that great day, if you say to the archangel, sho appear: Wake Me for your divine word(Luke 1:38). The most theological darkness of the entry of the Theotokos into the Temple is given by Gregory Palamy in his hymn “On the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos”. At the new hierarch, he tells the history of the holy, to direct his thoughts about the reasons for God's adoption of Mary by the mother of Jesus Christ, and at the end explain the reason for the introduction of її into the Holy of Holies of the Jerusalem Church: " ... why Vibran from the ear of a century among the chosen ones appeared to be the Holy of Holies. It’s small Its body is purer for the cleansing spirits themselves, so that it could accept the very hypostasic Word of the Blessed Father, - Everlasting Mary, like the Treasury of God, for the riches of the Nina, a bula was placed at the Holy of Holies, so that at the time of the hour, as if it were, serve until wealth and to the premium embellish".

Service at the Holy Entry to the Temple.

To the completion of the Old Testament, the addition of the Old Testament Divine Service and the sacrifices, a significant place was added at the service of the Holy Entry at the temple.
It is revealed in front of us in the Old Testament and Apostolic Readings, laid down by the Statute for the whole day.
At the first parimia, the saint is told about the power of Moses to the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant and their consecration.
Another paremia is dedicated to the consecration of Solomon's temple, and it was brought to the yogi of the Holy Ark of the Covenant.
The image of the Ark of the Covenant takes the central place for its meaning in both paramiyas, that image that was brought to the Holy of Holies. Old Testament readings suggest to the sense that the meaning is holy, because we have in them a prototype of the great podії, as they celebrate the day Entry into the Church of the Holy Mother of God.
And yet, the third parimiya is the most significant - the prophecy of the prophet Ezekiel about a new temple, which will avenge the direct message of the people of the Savior in Divi.
The thought about those that all the Old Testament liturgy was no longer a cover and an image of future blessings, is more and more revealed in the Apostles, which is read at the liturgy. Apostle Pavlo successively rehabilitates everything that is little before the Divine Service of that earthly sanctuary of the First Testament: a lamp, a meal with bread of propositions, a gold censer, I will line the Ark of the Covenant with gold from the sides of the Covenant, a vessel with manna and roses of the Holy Apostle to dream of the prototypes of the Mother of God, which the Old Testament Divine Service completed and said to Her entrance at the Holy of Holies.
Razkrivayutsya tsі thoughts and in the rich songs of the saint. One of the verses says:
Today the Bogomistsky temple - the Mother of God to the temple of the Lord is directed, and Zechariah accepts this; Today is the Holy of Holies, and the face of an angel is a secret triumph.
In stichera, a number of thoughts, connected with Old Testament prototypes, are revealed even in the most galactic form.
Bozha Matir is called the Bogomist temple; wonder about the acceptance of the priest Zechariah and about the joy of the Old Testament sanctuary, which accepts the Kivot of the New Testament.
In other songs, the thought about the vision of the prophecies and prototypes of the Old Testament in the person of the Mother of God is revealed more concretely. Yes, at To the Theotokos troparion of the third song canon 2 all Old Testament forebodings, who took away their property from the Mother of God, are rehabilitated: Those prophets preached the kivot, Pure, saints, the gold censer, and the candlestick, and the meal; and mi, like a tabernacle of God, we sleep with you.
I, nareshti, the service has a holy thought about those who, at the entrance to the Old Testament temple of the spiritualized Kivot of the New Testament, will end and spend their time in the Old Testament Divine Service, to be held with the appointment.

Iconography.


The center of the composition of the introduction of the Mother of God to the temple is the figure of Mary, as it is depicted significantly less for other figures, but with it, she is dressed in a maphoria, which is the traditional robe of women. The instructions from Mary are depicted by її fathers, they brought її to the temple. Behind them, you can see the procession of the virgins who escorted Mary on the road from Nazareth to Jerusalem. At the temple, which is symbolically depicted at the sight of the kіvoriya, the priest Zechariah is singing the Virgin Mary. Tririchna Mary, start to sound like a little sensible woman - 15 gatherings are enthralled, not turning back and crying out suffocated after the high priest, who is radiantly opening her arms. Steps 15 - like psalms, like they are called viskhidny, they were followed by pilgrims who went to the temple.

Clearly, to the apocryphal opi- nion , one can see how the Trinitarian Mary independently went to the Temple. Dodatkovo can be an image of Mary, who lives as an angel at the temple. On the icons, this composition is depicted with a brand name.
