Many have heard the word "porch", but the meaning of itnot everyone knows. You can guess that the name refers to the church. The parites are the territories near the temples. Here you can meet those who need charity. Here go out to be tonsured into monks, in order to renounce the world. And in the first centuries of Christianity there were penitents. And there is at least one prayer, which, according to tradition, was written on the porch of the monastery. Let's find out which one.
On the Tsar (Ivanovo) Square of MoscowThe Kremlin in the old days housed a monastery, named in honor of the feast of the Miracle of the Holy Archangel Michael in Honeh. More precisely, this event was dedicated to the cathedral church on the territory of the monastery.
This is how the Miracle happened. According to the prayer of St. Arkhip, who served in one of the first Christian churches in Phrygia (in the west of Asia Minor), Archangel Michael appeared and prevented the Gentiles from destroying the church. They connected the waters of two rivers and sent them to the temple. The Arch-Stratigus struck with a rod and ordered a stream to flow into the formed cleft in the mountain. This place was called Khons ("cleft", "hole").
Prayer to Michael the Archangel on the porch or in the temple,or in any other place will always be heard by the chief of the armies of heaven. He will certainly come to the aid of a sincere believer and a person hoping for him.
The monastery dedicated to Miracles was founded by Metropolitan Alexy in 1365. On the site of the monastery, they say, was the Khan's court, and during the Tatar-Mongol yoke - the stables.
This territory is the metropolitan of Kiev and All Russiareceived as a gift from the mother of Khan Janibek Tayduly. The fact is that the blind woman asked to call Alexy to the Horde. Taydulah saw through her prayers. In gratitude, the site in the Kremlin was given to Saint Alexius.
The first church was built of wood in 1358, later it was replaced by a stone one.
But the prayer on the porch of Chudova monastery could be heard by heavenly forces only until the beginning of the 20th century. Why? Now we'll find out.
A lot of the monastery survived all: prosperity, fires, reconstruction, was an active participant in important state affairs, he brought up and studied children from noble families, until in 1917 he was not badly damaged by shells. And in 1919 the monastery was completely closed. After 10 years, the monastery along with Voznesensky, as well as a small Nicholas Palace destroyed.
In the Chudov Monastery and was written a prayer, right on the porch. it appeal to the Archangel Michael. Someone wrote that this prayer is ancient. According to some reports, it was inflicted in 1906 on the porch of the monastery, named in honor of the Miracle, committed by the Archangel Michael in Honeh. This is a very strong prayer.
According to legend, twice a year (19.09 - Miracle in Honeh, 21.11 - the day of the memory of the Archangel) Michael comes to the fiery valley. At the same time, the fire in the abyss is extinguished, and all the creatures that torment the souls of people are lost. The archangel lowers the wing into the abyss, and on it the dead go out of hell. Then they are washed, and the Lord allows them to go to heaven.
First of all, the Archangel helps those inwho are praying on earth, and also for whom they give alms. That's why you need prayer written in the porch. This is an opportunity to help relatives and friends who have departed into a different world. Even if they are suicides.
But the Archangel who lives on earth will not refusehelp, if you turn to him with a prayer written in the porch. This is an opportunity to avoid war, natural disasters and vain death, to receive help in afflictions, misfortunes, misfortunes. And also protection from thieves, evil people and even temptations sent by the wicked.
In the kingdom of the Heavenly Father, there are many assistants anddefenders of the people. Each of them seeks to enable our souls to be reformed and saved. Archangel Michael - one of such defenders, able to rescue even from the torments of hell, it is only necessary to turn to him with sincere prayer.
