The nonhumans did not calm down, the documents did not reach the saint’s very brushes. Bishop Theodotus, tortured to death, was thrown into prison. They didn’t have enough of it, they put it on the climbing shield and began to make a fortune under it, throwing straw and chemicals into it. The holy man endured everything, but the torment did not end, the martyrs beat the flowers into their feet and became tired of walking in this position, and then sent them away again.

The wind rose, driving water from one side of the lake to the other, so that the bottom of the lake became bare and the holy bodies became visible. Having taken the bodies of the saints as martyrs, St. Theodotus praised them with honor.

You have a healing gift and help the sick. Having preached to the Jews and pagans, we tried to convert them to Christianity, instructing them in the correct way of life.

During the hours of persecution of Christians, Emperor Diocletian (284 - 305) became the ruler of the cruel Theotekn. Under fear of death, he ordered all Christians to make filthy sacrifices. Many residents who supported the Christian faith lost their homes and left. The Christians, who were deprived, began to feel torment. Saint Theodotus during this time of trouble gave refuge to Christians who were left without a breath over their heads, taking them away from re-examination. He fearlessly made his way to the front, helping the Christians, converting them not to change their faith. Purchasing the remains of the holy martyrs from the soldiers, Theodotus secretly kept them in the Christian rite. Since all the churches in Ankira were closed, Christians performed the Divine Liturgy at the hotel of Theodotus.

Holy Martyr Bogdan (Theodotus) is one of the nine Christian martyrs who suffered for the Christian faith until the end of the 3rd century.

At that time, the Roman emperors sent out punishments to all places - those who professed the Christian faith, to be reduced to idolatry or to welcome death. Many Christians, facing persecution, abandoned their booths and went into the desert and highly accessible place; Others lost their faith, or adopted it from the pagans. Ale be those who, in the name of love before Christ, openly confessed the Truth and were willing to pay for the price of torment. These were the nine holy martyrs - Theodotus, Theognides, Rufus, Antipater, Theostichus, Artema, Magnus, Faumasius and Philemon. The stench was completely different - from their walks, their lives, their social life, but they were consumed by their ardent faith in Christ and the fear of telling people the truth.

The saints met in the town of Kizik in Asia Minor and began to boldly preach the Christian faith. At which time they began to worship soulless idols and persuaded the pagans to learn the truth and believe in the One God - Jesus Christ. Suddenly they were buried and handed over to the kativs. The cream of the extreme torturas was given the most subtle: they were derived from the connection, the troubling possibility of freedom. All the martyrs gave precedence to a godless life in the will of freedom from sin and for the sake of faith in bondage. After so many torments, unable to destroy their spirit, they cut off their heads.

Through several fates, when the persecution of Christians began during the reign of Emperor Kostyantin the Great, the inhabitants of Kizikos found the burial places of the bodies of nine holy martyrs and immediately transferred them to the temple, celebrations and consecrations in their honor. History confirms that many miracles and healings occurred from these imperishable relics. And until the miraculous help, the kitty martyrs continue to cry with lamentations about the reduction of bodily ailments and epidemics. In addition, following the testimonies of the rich believers, the prayers of the nine holy martyrs help in the creation of good work.

Holy martyr Fe-o-dot and holy martyr of these maidens - Te-ku-sa, Fa-i-na, Klav-diya, Mat-ro-na, Julia, Alec -sandra and Yev-fra-siya - lived near the 2nd century of the 3rd century in the city of An-ki-re, Ga-la-tiy-skoye region, And many died for Christ at the beginning of the 4th century. Holy Fe-o-dot, literally "kor-than-ni-kom", waving his go-sti-ni-tsyu, literally about-nat. At the same time, you can achieve high-spiritual perfection: maintaining cleanliness and integrity, restoration you stood up in yourself, shook the flesh to the spirit, guided you in your posture and prayer. They led the Jews and pagans to the Christian faith, and the sinners to the race I'm correct. Saint Theo-dot received the gift of healing from the Lord and healed the sick on the bed without putting his hands on them.

At the hour of the year of im-per-ra-to-ra, Dio-kli-ti-a-na (284-305) in chri-sti-an in the place of An-ki-ru was appointed from - the news of his f-hundred-brush, the pr-vi-tel of Feo-tekn.

Feo-tekn notified all Christians that the stink of goiters for not sacrificing sacrifice to idols would eventually lead to death. The pagans are not Christians, but their wealth is rose.

Famine has arrived in the country. In these harsh days, Saint Theo-dot, at his place, gave shelter to the Christians who were left without shelter, feeding them, giving them Having believed that the previous ones, for their own sake, gave the established church everything necessary for this Divine Liturgy. Having fearlessly penetrated the court, I will help those who are innocently convicted, and remain faithful to the end to Christ Spa-Si-te-lyu. Fe-o-dot is not afraid to bury the remains of the holy men, but I secretly see them or I buy them for money from the soldiers. If in An-ki-re the Christian churches were ra-zo-re-ni and for-cry-ti, the Divine Li-tour-giya would be established in his hotel. Informing that I may have to accomplish a great feat, Saint Fe-o-dot told no one before the Fron-to-hall that I soon there will be a lot of power in place, we will not be talking about them. To confirm these words, Saint Theo-dot gave his ring to the priest.

At that hour, these holy virgins accepted death for Christ, such as the old, holy Te-ku-sa, who was the father of Saint Fe-o-do-ta. Holy girls - Te-ku-sa, Fa-i-na, Claudia, Mat-ro-na, Julia, Aleksandra and Yiv-fra-siya from young rocks in the Holy Se- By God, you lived in centuries-old prayers, in good times, in good times, and all the old people have been up to now -what age. Brought to trial as Christians, the holy girls were courageous, but before Theo-tek-no they expressed their faith in Christ And b-whether before-yes-for-no-yams, but they're too much for something. Then the ruler handed them over to the shameless young men for desecration. Holy girls prayed for help, asking God for help. Saint Te-ku-sa fell to the feet of the young men, who had lost their heads in the wrong way, because of their sitting heads. The youngsters came to their senses, cried and went to get away.

For this reason, the stench continued until death. A heavy stone was tied to her skin, and all these holy maidens were drowned in the lake. At the end of the day, Saint Te-ku-sa appeared in a dream to Saint Fe-o-do-t, asking him to get enough of them and to do well in the Christian way. Saint Fe-o-dot, having taken with him his friend Po-li-chrono and other Christians, headed to the lake. It was dark, and the burning lamps were pointing along. About an hour before the Varts, who had been placed by the pagans on the birch of the lake, the holy martyr So-Sander appeared. The terrified guard gathered around the escape. The wind blew the water to the other side of the lake. The Christians went to the bodies of the holy martyrs and took them to the church, where they were buried. Having learned about the theft of the bodies of the holy martyrs, the ruler became angry and ordered all Christians to boast indiscriminately and give them to the martyrs. Bu clusters and po-li-chro-niy. Without showing thee-for-any, he pointed to the holy Fe-o-do-ta as a vin-no-hi-sche-nya of the body. Saint Theo-dot became ready to die for Christ; together with the mustache of Christ-and-on-the-military prayers, having declared the date of his body to the sacred-ness of the Front, having given his feather to someone before. Holy standing before the court. For some reason, the various weapons of mankind and at the same time promised great honor and wealth, if one looks like Christ . Saint Theo-dot glorified the Lord Jesus Christ, having confessed his faith in Him. The ardent pagans have a holy pro-divist for them, and the power of God under-shall holy man. He was lost alive and was taken to prison. The next morning, the ruler again ordered to covet the saint, lest he suddenly realize that his courage was impossible. Then he commanded the head of the man. The Strata had settled down, but a storm had come and prevented us from burning the man's body. After all, sitting in the tent, they forgot to guard the body. At this hour the priest Fronton was passing near the lying road, leading a donkey with a load of wine from his vine. Near the place where the body of Saint Theodore lay, a donkey fell down in a rampage. Who-i-could-not-have-understood-him-and-ros-said-the-Fron-to-well, who will st-re-gut the body of the Kaz-n-no-go-christ-a- no-na Fe-o-do-ta. The priest realized that the Lord had the intention of bringing him here. He placed the holy remains on the donkeys and brought them to the place ordered by Saint Fe-o-do-t for his gree-Ben, and with honor gave the earth. Years ago, he established a church in this place. Saint Theo-dot accepted death for Christ on the 7th of chernia 303 or 304, and he is commemorated on the 18th of May, on the day of the death of the holy virgins.

It will be remembered that “in the sacristy of the monastery the blessed charter of Patriarch Job of 1599 is preserved.” on the occasion of the gate of the temple.

Vidomosti about the temple above

(From the historical description of V.A. Rizdvyany)

Above the holy gate there is a small church, built by Abbot Vassian at the end of the 16th century. in the name of the holy martyr Theodotius of Ankirsk. To this day, the blessed letter of Patriarch Job, 1599 rubles, is preserved in the sacristy. Already in 1834, on the funeral of the Abbess of Nazareth, this church was renovated and consecrated by His Eminence Philaret, Metropolitan of Moscow, in honor of Neruk.

Partial review of the statistics of the architect O.V. Gaioviy about the temple of the Vladichny Monastery

Unique results were obtained from the investigation of the gatehouse church of Theodotus of Ankirsk, a single monument with the exact date of 1599, when Patriarch Iov saw a letter, declaring “...blessing Vas’yan and his brothers, punishing, at the Presentation of the Most Pure Mother of God, on the holy komirs, debate in The name of the holy martyr Theodotus of Angirsky, and on that temple and ontimins the date ... "
As the investigation showed, the knowledge of literacy and understanding literally - the new temple of Theodotius of Ankirsk was erected on the stone Holy Gates that were founded.
What was the early foundation of the Vladichny Monastery that came down to us?
The holy gate has been completely preserved, except for its lower, stone tier. The arch is designed to open up in the middle, with a circular top, which is mainly used for the day, and there is a jacket on the bottom side. The presence of internal fusions in the soil pylon transfers the soil to another tier, possibly wooden. The dimensions of the sporudi on the plan are (8.48×3.64) m. The gate clearly entered the system of wooden fortifications of the monastery. The medical center of the monastery on the birch Oka and the borderland character of the place, one can assume that it was not just a fence, but a solid spore, just like the defensive character.
The authoritative follower of the “Goduniv” architecture, Andriy Leonidovich Batalov, with the investigation of the problem of formalization in architecture of the end of the 16th century, showed respect for the dedication of the temple above - Theodotus of Ankirsk, to Saint Boris Godunov, which confirms the special royal respect to the monastery. Serpukhov campaign" 1598 against the Crimean Khan Kazi-Girey (Gazi Girey II, born 1588-1608)
On June 29, 1598, the Crimean embassy was warmly received by Boris Godunov and, recognizing his royal title, accepted proposals about peace. This campaign completely overshadowed the royal wedding (3rd spring 1598).
The camp of Boris Godunov was located on the bows near the monastery, the abbot of which was Vassian (Ladizhensky) - a relative of Leonty of Ladizhensky, the Tsar's envoy to Crimea, whose diplomatic affairs secretly concealed Godunov's political revolution. The monastery, which stood at the center of such great political events, as the reign of a new dynasty on the Russian throne, took away the significant royal contributions.
