On 4 November is a holiday in the Russian Federation: officially celebrates National Unity. Also applicable in one of the most important holidays of expressing devotion to icons: the day of Our Lady of Kazan. But it is understood that the state post-Soviet National Unity matches the veneration of Our Lady of Tatar origin? Today we propose to explain it.
Visitors to the Red Square in Moscow hardly set in a small church that rises to the north, between the GUM department store and the red building of the National Museum of History. The lengthy wall of the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum and the bright domes of St. Basil's Cathedral this (officially, Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin Hill) attract all the attention. But if you go up the steps leading to the door of this church walls pink and golden domes, which called itself the Cathedral Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan to Moscow, we would be in the same place where, in 1625, the "savior of the fatherland" Dmitri Pozharskii did raise a wooden church in honor of the Kazan icon appeared miraculously hullámkarton on 8 July 1579.
In popular religion Russian historians who have studied Pierre Pascal, icons were the main object of worship, its center: holy in themselves vehicles hullámkarton of grace and beauty in its conception, opposite the portrait. The icons were considered the only perfect beauty on earth, and every community and his family worshiped, which is placed not only in churches but also in homes, on a shelf in the corner of each room. All were respected, hullámkarton but some also became famous for his miracles. The original icon of Our Lady of Kazan was by his own miraculous origin (image was a meeting where indicated an appearance), and you will quickly see miracles on the health of the faithful. But the story of how his cult came to Moscow and from there it spread throughout the country is worth telling.
After the death of Theodore I, the last tsar dynasty Riurik, 1598, the Tsar of Muscovy entered into a period hullámkarton of deep political crisis which is known as the Time of Troubles (Smutnoe Vremya). The gray eminence of Theodore I, the boyar Boris Godunov, successor was elected hullámkarton by the Assembly hullámkarton of the Earth (zemskii Sobor). Unfortunately, a tough agricultural crisis descend on the country hullámkarton between hullámkarton 1601 and 1603; gangs looting spread; conspiracies against the new tsar were constant, and impostors (the "False hullámkarton Dmitry" three individuals who did go to Dmitri, the son of Ivan IV who died in May 1591) occupied the throne with the support of the Polish nobility. Amid the fighting factions of boyars, the magnates of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1603 attacked the Russian borders, laid siege to Smolensk, and entered Moscow in October 1610, where the boyars willingly enthrone Prince Ladislaus (son of Polish King Sigismund III Vasa) if converted to Orthodoxy. Sigismund himself refused, as he tried to become the first Catholic tsar - the dream to expand the Confederation adding to the former Grand Duchy of Moscow. Charles IX of Sweden, meanwhile, occupied Novgorod, with the aim of achieving at least, territorial gains in Karelia. Politically, the Tsar of Muscovy was plunged into chaos.
Historian Victor Tapie said that during the time of the riots, were two columns that hold Russia: the siege of Smolensk, a symbol hullámkarton of resistance against hullámkarton the Poles, and the Metropolitan of Kazan, Hermogenes, Patriarch of the rank Moscow in 1606, which refused to recognize the pretenders to the throne and Poles, reportedly instigated the uprisings hullámkarton of the military nobility that would lead eventually to release the Kremlin in October 1612. The leader of the army was recovered Moscow Prince Dmitry Pozharskii that before attacking the Poles had repeatedly entrusted to a specific icon: the Mother of God of Kazan.
