Jahrhunderts, und an einigen Orten bis heute, nannten die Kinder ihren Vater Tata, Schwiegervater, Vater und schon gar nicht Papa, da das letzte Wort aus dem Französischen zu uns kam und aus «Papa» gebildet wurde, das Wort Tata, das expressiver gefärbte «Schwiegervater», das respektvolle «Schwiegervater» und das «Vater» («Vater») waren im Südwesten Russlands, in Pskow und in den Provinzen Archangelsk weit verbreitet.

NEW MARTYR JOHN THE TAILOR OF LOANNINA, AT CONSTANTINOPLE (1526)

The holy martyr John Kulikos was born in the Greek district of Epirus, in the city of Ioannina. His parents were pious, but he was orphaned at an early age, and he went to Constantinople. With the means left him by his parents, he built a small stall in the city bazaar and was occupied with trade.

He loved to work, he honorably filled all his orders, and his business was successful. However, his soul did not yearn for earthly blessings, but for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Saint John lived during difficult times. Constantinople was under the dominion of the Turks, and Christians were subjected to oppressions. Many Christian tradesmen and merchants went over to the Moslem religion. Saint John reproached them for their betrayal of Christ, and he also sustained the unwavering in their faith. The apostates were filled with hatred for Saint John, and they desired his ruin. The saint knew this, but was not afraid. He was willing to suffer for Christ.

On Great and Holy Friday he went to his spiritual Father and asked his blessing to seek martyrdom. The priest counselled the youth to examine himself and to prepare himself by fasting and prayer, so that at the time of torture he would not deny Christ. Saint John prayed ardently to the Lord to strengthen him. At night on Great and Holy Saturday he saw himself in a dream, standing in a fiery furnace and singing praises to the Lord. Interpreting this vision as an indication to go to martyrdom, Saint John received the Holy Mysteries and asked the priest’s blessing.

When Saint John arrived at the market, the vexed tradesmen began to reproach him that he had promised to renounce Christ, but that he was not fulfilling his word. In reply, the martyr declared that he was a Christian and had never renounced, nor would he ever renounce Christ.

Then the envious merchants had him arrested. The judge tried to persuade Saint John to accept Islam, for he respected him as a skilled master craftsman. But the martyr steadfastly confessed himself a Christian. For several days, they wearied him with hunger and thirst, and beat him without mercy. They sentenced the martyr to be burned alive.

Saint John met his sentence with joy. When they led him to the blazing fire, he went boldly into the midst of the flames. The torturers, seeing that Saint John was prepared to die in the fire, pulled him out and beheaded him with the sword (+ 1526). They then threw the martyr’s head and body into the fire.

Christians gathered up the bones of the martyr which remained from the fire and reverently brought them to the cathedral church.

VENERABLE EVTHYMIUS (1435) , ENLIGHTENER OF KARELIA, FINLAND, and THE RIGHTEOUS ANTHONY and FELIX

According to an ancient manuscript Hemerologion (Ημερολογιον), Saint Euthymios was born in the second half of the XIV century. From his youth, he felt drawn to the monastic life, so when he reached adulthood, he traveled north around the year 1400 in order to live as an Anchorite. Later, about 1410, several disciples came to him, begging him to guide them in the monastic life. On the shores of the White Sea in Karelia, 34 versts from Archangelsk, they built a monastery dedicated to the Holy Wonderworker Saint Nicholas of Myra in Lycia (December 6), with cells for the monks.

At first, nothing seemed to go well for the monks, who had settled in an area inhabited by pagans. Saint Euthymius knew, however, that in the place where they labored, one day the monastic life would be firmly established, and the Faith would flourish.

In 1418, the Venerable Anthony and Felix, the two devout sons of Martha Boretska, the wife of a government official (посадница) from Novgorod, were drowned at the mouth of the North Dvina River while exploring the land. These young brothers were buried at Saint Nicholas monastery. In life, they were distinguished for their works of charity, and their grief-stricken mother asked Saint Euthymius to pray for the sons who had been taken from her. Subsequently, their names were included in the manuscript Lives of the Saints of Saint Nicholas Monastery.

In 1419, the monastery was destroyed by Norwegian invaders, who descended upon the monastery, burned the church, and killed several of the monks. Saint Euthymius decided that he would rebuild the monastery, and Martha Boretska gave a large sum of money for the monastery to be rebuilt over the graves of her sons.

Saint Euthymius reposed peacefully in 1435, and was buried at the monastery in Karelia, as were his disciples Stephen the Ascetic, Isaiah, and Nikanor.

In 1641, Saint Euthymios of Karelia was glorified for his apostolic labors in Karelia, and his holy relics were uncovered in 1647. Now they rest in a hidden place within the monastery.

A Church Service has been composed for Saints Euthymius, Anthony, and Felix. They are commemorated on April 18, and again on May 21, the Synaxis of All Saints of Karelia.

JOHN 12:17-50

17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 For this reason, the people also met Him because they heard that He had done this sign.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!" 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again."

29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him." 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.

33 This He said, signifying by what death He would die. 34 The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"

35 Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."

41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. 42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

43for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44 Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him-the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.

MATTHEW 26:6-16

6 And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. 8 But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor. 10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. 12 For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. 13 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her. 14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

I don't know why, buy I felt like sharing this small piece of history. My friend's great grandfather worked as a military criminal investigator in Archangelsk during USSR. But he was send to prison camps in 1952 simply for beings Jewish despite he worked there for decades. There were purges on Jewish people in several spheres during 50s in USSR, especially after the state of Israel was created.

"That's actually a lesson for all of us.

A man is working in the prosecutor's office of People's Comissariat of Defense of USSR since 1936. And then in 1952 he is suddenly of not the right ethnicity [Jewish].

When his wife, great grandma was crying, asking for help and mercy in MGB and MVD, she was told to forget about it.

My great grandfather's friend, who was Ukrainian, was seeking justice for his friend and colleague.

There was three of them: a Jew, a Ukrainian and Estonian. Alexander Vasilyevich Smolensky, Nikolai Vasilyevich Yarovoi and Eduard Karlovich Yarvepper".

[ ⚰️ ] what are your muse’s greatest regrets? what would flash before their eyes when they’re on their deathbed?

OC Ask Meme

Audrey no longer blames herself for Hans' death but it's hard not to regret losing someone you've been with for nearly a century. She still regrets suggesting they tour Europe ahead of the Nazi invasion, and regrets not returning to the hotel in Paris sooner. She knows if she'd been there when he was taken she wouldn't have been able to make a difference, the Special Collections Division was already prepared for both of them.

But it's hard not to regret a point in your life that changes you fundamentally, and Audrey was never the same after her ordeal at the Archangelsk experimental gulag.

Estonia suggesting to tax the Danish straits my beloved <333

Well, if they don't think of my proposal of blockading the Baltic Russian ports, maybe that'll be at least one step in the right direction (they can go to Archangelsk after all idgaf). Other suggestions that I have are harrass-searching ships that are headed for these ports as Russia did with Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea or these ships having to hire EU guide ships to chaperone them, there could be some good money in that last one actually.

Die Idee der Städtepartnerschaft entstand ... um die durch zwei Weltkriege in Europa aufgerissenen Wunden zu heilen. Und jetzt? Städtepartnerschaft kann zusammenführen Städtepartnerschaften sind mehr als nur symbolische Freundschaften zwischen zwei Kommunen. Sie stehen für internationale Zusammenarbeit, kulturellen Austausch und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit. "Die Idee der Städtepartnerschaft entstand hauptsächlich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als Initiative der Basis, um die durch zwei Weltkriege in Europa aufgerissenen Wunden zu heilen. Städtepartnerschaften sind ein öffentlichkeitswirksames und langfristig effektives Instrument, um Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern zusammenzuführen. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Austausch der Bürger über das Instrument Städtepartnerschaft, die konkrete Ausgestaltung dementsprechend vielfältig." (bpb.de, zuletzt aufgerufen am 04.01.2025) Städtepartnerschaft Emden - Archangelsk Die niedersächsischen Hafenstadt Emden schloss 1989 eine Städtepartnerschaft mit der russischen Hafenstadt Archangelsk ab. Die Emdener Ratsvertreter haben ihre Städtepartnerschaft zu Archangelsk allerdings ausgesetzt und informieren darüber: "Die Städtepartnerschaft mit der russischen Stadt Archangelsk ist in offiziellen Belangen vorübergehend ausgesetzt. Dies haben die Emder Ratsvertreter*innen im März 2022 entschieden. " Im Sinne der Aussagen der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung war es vielleicht nicht die beste Idee, die Städtepartnerschaft auszusetzen und damit auf "ein öffentlichkeitswirksames und langfristig effektives Instrument, um Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern zusammenzuführen" zu verzichten. Emden hat eine reiche Stadtgeschichte ... und zahlte wie viele andere deutsche Städte für den verbrecherischen Zweiten Weltkrieg. Insgesamt führten 80 Luftangriffe mit Bombenabwürfen zu 413 Opfern, darunter Emder Bürger, Zwangsarbeiter und Soldaten.  "Der schwerste Luftangriff, geflogen von der britischen RAF ereignete sich am 6. September 1944. Diesem Angriff fiel die gesamte Emder Altstadt zum Opfer." (emden.de, zuletzt aufgerufen am 04.01.2025) Die offizielle Webseite zur Emdener Stadtgeschichte schließt leider mit dem Jahr 2000. Der letzte Eintrag dazu leutet: "Im November 1995 wurde die Johannes-a-Lasco-Bibliothek feierlich eröffnet." (ebd.) Wie sich Archangelsk in den letzten 15 Jahren veränderte Zur Partnerstadt Archangelsk stieß ich von einigen Tagen auf ein aktuelles Video vom Dezember 2024. Darin wird gezeigt, wie sich Archangelsk gerade in den letzten 15 Jahren veränderte. Vielleicht auch eine Anregung für Emden, sich wieder mit der Partnerstadt auszutauschen.  ;-) Ein Russe in Amerika kommentierte dieses Video unlängst sarkastisch: "Wie Sie selbst sehen können, fährt das Regime des blutigen Tyrannen Putin fort, Russland durch den Bau moderner Städte, Autobahnen, Krankenhäuser, Schulen und Sportanlagen zu zerstören. Die Russen sterben vor Hunger in den Supermärkten, während sie versuchen zu entscheiden, welche Art von Fleisch oder Avocado sie kaufen sollen. Wie Sie also selbst sehen können, wirken die Sanktionen und Putins Regime wird jeden Moment fallen." Der Nutzen von Städtepartnerschaften heute Heutzutage sind Städtepartnerschaften ein globales Netzwerk, das vielfältige Vorteile bietet. Von kleinen Gemeinden bis hin zu Metropolen nutzen viele Kommunen diese Verbindungen um sich auf unterschiedlichen Gebieten auszutauschen und zusammenzuarbeiten. Städtepartnerschaften ermöglichen es, Traditionen, Kunst und Lebensweisen anderer Länder kennenzulernen. Veranstaltungen wie Austauschprogramme, Festivals oder Kunstausstellungen bringen Menschen zusammen und fördern das Verständnis füreinander. Viele Städtepartnerschaften fördern die lokale Wirtschaft. Durch Handelsbeziehungen, gemeinsame Projekte und Tourismus entstehen neue Möglichkeiten für Unternehmen und Kommunen. Besonders in Zeiten der Globalisierung sind solche Kontakte wertvoll. Schüler- und Studentenaustauschprogramme, Forschungskooperationen und Sprachreisen sind oft Teil von Städtepartnerschaften. Sie bieten jungen Menschen die Chance, interkulturelle Kompetenzen zu entwickeln und wertvolle Auslandserfahrungen zu sammeln. Viele Partnerschaften arbeiten an gemeinsamen Projekten im Bereich Klimaschutz und nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung. Beispielsweise können Ideen und Technologien ausgetauscht werden, um Umweltschutzmaßnahmen effektiver zu gestalten. Read the full article

I want to continue the marathon from lovely @sovietpostcards  and tell you about my grandparents. This is my mother's parents Lydia and Michael (right one). My grand-grand parents moved in Arhangelsk region from St.Petersburg in 20-s when were was a big Famine and live was crazy in this big city. She was a child when www2 started.When my grandmother was 10 years old she lost her mother and her younger brother in childbirth. Her father was the chairman of a collective farm, and when she was 16 she fled the village to her brother in the city to get a passport (people in village didn't have one) and an education. She worked almost all her life as a baker and loved to travel. My grandad was born and lived all his life in Archangelsk region. He worked at clearing forests and most of all liked to go fishing. During World War II, he was also a child.

Хочу продолжить марафон от замечательной @sovietpostcards ​ и рассказать о своих бабушке и дедушке. Это родители моей мамы Лидия и Михаил (справа). Родители моей мамы переехали в Архангельскую область из Санкт-Петербурга в 20-е годы, когда был большой голод и жизнь в этом большом городе была сумасшедшей. Она была ребенком, когда началась вов. Когда моей бабушке было 10 лет, она потеряла мать и младшего брата (при родах). Ее отец был председателем колхоза, и когда ей было 16 лет, она сбежала из деревни к брату в город, чтобы получить паспорт (у жителей деревень его не было) и образование. Почти всю жизнь она проработала пекарем и очень любила путешествовать. Мой дедушка родился и всю жизнь прожил в Архангельской области. Он работал на вырубке леса и больше всего любил ловить рыбу. Во время Второй мировой войны он тоже был ребенком.

Last night I dreamt that I was on a job training rotation in the Russian city of Archangelsk, and I was staying at somebody’s home, and desperately trying to find a place to sleep, but there was a party with local underground rock bands performing, and I had the Midnight Sun to deal with because it was summer, so……. I did get some nice folks to help me problem solve and fell asleep in the end, but there was much dejected dragging around of bedclothes and mattresses before that happened. There was also royal intrigue of some kind involving my host family (yes, in a God-forgotten part of Russia).

AND THEN I ended up at a walking tour of….. someplace in the US with my husband’s very large extended family, and we came upon what was widely rumored to be Elijah Wood’s house, and there was a pool party at the….body of water attached to the house. And I kept being paranoid about trespassing. I didn’t actually go to the pool party, and refused to take any pictures.

And there was also a bar with a bathroom on the second floor that had a door that opened to nowhere, so anyone who tried to use it ended falling to the ground floor below. You can imagine this went very well in an establishment full of drunk people.
