Prayer of Peter the grave from rodents and mice. Prayer of Basil the Great from the invasion of rodents. Mice Conspiracy

In the Spells of Insects of the breviary of Peter the Grave, or how Anthony of Surozh conjured the mouse

In the article "Spiritual Problems of Modern Christians", which I recommend to everyone, the rector of the Konevsky Nativity of the Theotokos Monastery, hegumen Peter Minaev, criticizes the Chin of the Insect Spell of the Martyr Tryphon from the Great Britanary of Peter the Grave. When I read this, I laughed to tears:
More than 10 years ago, Metropolitan Peter Mohyla's Big Book of Missours was published. Our joy knew no end. And in this Sick breviary we find a prayer of unusual content, which is attributed to the holy martyr Tryphon. This is very interesting prayer, a conjurational prayer from all sorts of insect pests. I can quote: “I conjure you many kinds of animals, worms, caterpillars, beetles, pruzi, mice, squints, critics, various kinds of flies and flies ...” and so on. But most importantly, what he conjures them. He addresses them, sorry, as people. As if they were created in the image and likeness of God, as if they have a mind and can say to themselves: “Really, what are we doing, eh? do they have a will? So they turn to them and conjure them with “the saving life-giving death of Christ, His three-day resurrection and ascension to Heaven and all His divine saving watching ...” They conjure: “By the Honorable Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, our true God and Savior, by Him salvation is given us and deliverance”, etc. And then they are frightened: “and if you don’t listen to me, pray to the imam of the philanthropist of the Lord, if he sends his angel, who is above the beasts, and with iron and lead will bind you and kill you.” Here. "For the oaths and prayers of the less humble Tryphon was rejected." But, if the angels do not help, then "and the birds sent by my prayer let them eat you." And this is published in the official breviary, of course, we all use this breviary in practice, but pay attention to the theological thought of this prayer. Instead of saying: "Lord, remove these beetles and worms from our inheritances," they turn to them, conjure them, and generally appeal to their conscience.

Joking aside, this rite works, as Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh testified:
“Mice divorced in our house; they galloped around the whole apartment; what to do with them? Mom and I didn’t want to put a mousetrap, because we felt sorry for the mice; we didn’t want to scatter poisoned bread, because we were afraid for our grandmother: she was more than ninety years old, sees a piece of bread - he will take it, eat it instead of a mouse. Then I began to look in the prayer book: is there any way? pages, large, begins with tigers and lions, elephants, wolves, etc., and down to the smallest insects, and along the way, mice. Well, of course, when you read this prayer, you do not name all the animals, because insects maybe, but we didn't have lions or tigers in our apartment. Well, I read it and thought: nonsense! None of this can come of it, I'll tell the mouse, it will wag its tail and go eat cheese! But then I thought: no! Since you Father, I wrote this prayer, you are responsible for it! I do not believe, but I will read this prayer for the mouse, and you pray this prayer before God; your prayer, you answer for it! I sat on the bed, put on the stole and waited. And a mouse came out of the fireplace. I tell her: Sit down and listen! She sat down like that, moving her mustache. I say: This is what Saint So-and-so (I can't remember his name) tells you, and I read the exhortation. Then I baptized her, I say: Now go and tell everyone else. She left, and not a single mouse was left in our apartment. And I was so happy that it's not my faith! You see, I didn’t believe in a penny, but according to the faith of this saint ... Therefore, you can do this: I can’t read this prayer from myself, but I can say: Lord! This saint knew what he was talking about! I will say these words and ask him to lift them up to You, and to return some understanding to me ... And this, too, is a way to pray ... ".

In fact, I do not believe that Martyr Tryphon composed this prayer, I think that the Lord removed the mice from Metropolitan Anthony through the prayer of Martyr Tryphon as an edification to him and us that "everything is possible to him who believes" (Mark 9.23)

Here is what Vladyka Anthony of Surozh said about the utterance of holy prayers, to which we have not matured.

“I think I told you, but I will repeat for those who have not heard about one, on the one hand, funny, and on the other, a very great event in my life. Once we - grandmother, mother and I - lived in a church house. There were mice, they ran everywhere. And we didn't know what to do with them. We didn’t want to set up mousetraps because we felt sorry for the mice, and we didn’t want to throw them pieces of bread with poison because we were afraid that our grandmother, who was then over 90 years old, would pick them up. And I suddenly remembered that in the Great Ribbon there is an appeal, written by I don’t remember which of the saints, to all animals that violate human life - as if a call to leave.Dozens of all sorts of animals were listed there, starting with lions, tigers and ending with insects. I read it and thought: it can't be! How can I use such a prayer? I don't believe this can happen! But then I thought again: after all, the saint who composed this prayer believed in it. I then turned to him and said: “I do not believe that anything will come of the fact that I read this prayer; but you compiled it, wrote it, you pronounced it from the depths of faith. And when you used it, something happened, otherwise you wouldn't have put it in the book. So this is what we will do: I will read your prayer, and you say it from the depths of your holiness and bring it to God. But I repeat: I do not believe that anything can happen.

I sat down on the bed, put the Great Ritual on my knees, and waited for a mouse to appear from the fireplace. I crossed her and said: "Sit down and listen." To my amazement, the mouse sat on its hind legs and did not move. And then to her, this English mouse, I read aloud in Slavonic a prayer that had once been composed in Greek. He finished, crossed her again and said: “Now go and tell everyone else!” She left, and not a single mouse was left in our house. And it made me so happy; I couldn't boast that it happened to my faith. My disbelief was complete, not even doubt - I was sure that nothing would work out, but I was also sure that this saint believed and seriously wrote this prayer, and it was fulfilled.

Therefore, when in any prayer that you read, there is something that is not obvious to you, that it seems simply impossible to you, tell the saint who composed it: “You undoubtedly put your faith in these words: take these words and bring to God, and I will repeat them with a pain in my soul that I cannot connect even with words, and not only with the flame of your soul.

AND TO THE MARTYR TRYPHON

SAYINGS ON TRYPHON

The Church celebrates the memory of the Holy Martyr Tryphon

The Holy Martyr Tryphon was born in one of the regions of Asia Minor - Phrygia, not far from the city of Apamea, in the village of Kampsada. His parents were simple and pious peasants. As a child, he grazed geese and did not receive an education. But Saint Tryphon, as a child, was vouchsafed from the Lord the gift of miracles: he cast out demons, healed ailments, and through his prayer did many other good deeds.

Once the inhabitants of the native village of Saint Tryphon were saved from starvation by him: by the power of his childhood prayer, the saint forced the harmful insects that destroyed the crops to leave. On the basis of this miracle, the Church established a special rite of prayerful appeal to Saint Tryphon, which is performed when pests attack crops or plantings.

Saint Tryphon was especially famous for casting out a demon from the daughter of the Roman emperor Gordian (238-244). A demon possessed the young, intelligent and beautiful Tsarevna and severely tormented her. Once he shouted that only Tryphon could expel him. The emperor ordered the miracle worker to be found and brought to Rome. At that time Saint Tryphon was 17 years old.

When the saint approached Rome at a distance of three days' journey, the evil spirit could not endure his approach and left Gordian's daughter. Saint Tryphon was brought before the emperor, surrounded by court nobility. He begged the saint to show the demon with his own eyes, wanting to make sure that the young man really healed the princess.

After a solitary prayer to God and a strict fast for six days, Saint Tryphon ordered the unclean spirit to appear visibly to the emperor and his entourage.

In the Menaia of St. Demetrius of Rostov († 1709) this is narrated as follows:

“Saint Tryphon is filled with this Holy Spirit, and looking at the invisible spirit with smart eyes, he says: I say to you, unclean soul, in the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ appear to those who are here, and show them your stingy and cold image, and your confession of weakness. And the devil appeared before everyone in the form of a black dog, having eyes like fire, the head of attraction on the earth. ". To the question of Saint Tryphon, how he dared to dwell in the creation of God, the demon replied that he did not have such power over Christians, but could torment only those “who follow their lusts and do deeds pleasing to us.” Hearing this, many of those present left idolatry and believed in Christ. Generously endowed by the emperor, Saint Tryphon returned to his homeland. He distributed all the gifts he received along the way to the poor.

When Emperor Decius (249-251), a cruel persecutor of Christians, ascended the royal throne, it was reported to his eparch Aquilinus that Saint Tryphon boldly preached Christianity and led many to Baptism. Hearing that the royal servants were looking for him, Saint Tryphon did not hide himself, but he himself gave himself into the hands of the persecutors. Brought to trial before Aquilinus in Nicaea, he boldly confessed his faith in Christ. Aquilinus was unable to intimidate the young Tryphon with any threats. Then the eparch ordered the hands of the holy martyr to be tied, hung on a tree and beaten for three hours. During the beating, the tormentor did not hear a single moan of the martyr. After this, Saint Tryphon was thrown into prison.

"Christian martyrs in the Colosseum" Konstantin Flavitsky. 1862

The Lord strengthened His chosen one, and he courageously endured all the tortures. During the torment, an angel appeared before the saint with a precious crown in his hands. Seeing this, the tormentors were frightened, but Aquilinus became even more hardened. The next day he continued the torture, after which he sentenced the martyr Tryphon to be beheaded with a sword. Before his death, the saint thanked God, who strengthened him in his sufferings.

The Ancient Life conveys the following words of the holy martyr to God: “. Receive my soul in the world, all the same as me, Thy servant, will be remembered, and in my memory the Holy Sacrifice will be brought to Thee, hear from the height of Thy Holy Dwelling, and look upon them from Thy Holy Dwelling, giving them an abundant and imperishable gift, as if Thou art one Good and Generous Giver forever and ever." The saint departed to the Lord before his honest head was cut off.

The Christians wanted to bury the body of the martyr in the city of Nicaea, the place of his suffering. But Saint Tryphon in a vision ordered that his body be transferred to his homeland, to the village of Kampsada. The will of the holy martyr was fulfilled. Subsequently, the relics of Saint Tryphon were transferred to Constantinople, and then to Rome.

The holy martyr Tryphon enjoys great veneration in the Russian Orthodox Church.

There is a legend that during the reign of Tsar Ivan the Terrible (1533-1584), the beloved royal gyrfalcon flew away during a hunt. The king ordered the falconer Trifon Patrikeev to find the bird that had flown away and threatened him with death for failure to comply with the order. Falconer Tryphon toured the surrounding forests, but to no avail. On the third day, exhausted by the long search, he lay down to rest, zealously asking for help from his patron, the holy martyr Tryphon. In a dream, he saw a young man on a white horse, holding a royal gyrfalcon in his hand. This young man said: "Take the lost bird, go with God to the king and do not be sad about anything." Waking up, the falconer saw a gyrfalcon, which he was looking for, nearby on a pine tree. He immediately took him to the king and told him about miraculous help received by him from the holy martyr Tryphon. Soon, on the spot where the saint's appearance took place, the falconer Tryphon Patrikeyev built a chapel, and then a church in the name of the holy martyr Tryphon.

At present, the head of the holy martyr is kept in the city of Kotor (Montenegro), in the Cathedral of St. Tryphon. Part of the relics was brought from there to Russia in 1803. In 1819, this shrine was invested in three shrines in the icon of the holy martyr Tryphon, which was located in the church built in his honor, in Naprudny. Now this icon is in the temple in honor of the Sign Holy Mother of God, at the Rizhsky railway station in Moscow, not far from the site of the appearance of St. Tryphon to the falconer. When the church was closed in 1931, the icon, along with particles of relics, was transferred to the Temple of the Icon of the Sign of the Mother of God in Pereyaslavskaya Sloboda. Another icon with a particle of the relics of St. Tryphon is in the church of the icon of the Mother of God "Unexpected Joy" in Maryina Grove. Part of the relics of the martyr Tryphon is in the Holy Trinity Kitayevsky Monastery in Kyiv.

During his lifetime, Tryphon responded to the slightest requests and troubles. And now at the Throne of God he prays for us. Sometimes people say - well, this is such a trifle, such an everyday misfortune, well, how to turn to God with a prayer with it? But the Lord hears all our prayers and knows about them even before we ourselves begin to pray. And the martyr Tryphon helps us. Parishioners of the Church of St. mch. Tryphon can talk for hours about the miracles that are performed through prayer to the saint. By prayer with faith. After all, faith does not come from miracles, but miracles come from faith that the Lord is near, that he will help.

Saint Tryphon was revered in Muscovite Rus' as a healer, patron of hunters and lord of reptiles. Orthodox Church is wary of spells and other similar forms of popular culture.

And here "The spell of St. Tryphon from reptiles" is considered canonical m: "I conjure you, multi-species animals, worms, caterpillars, beetles and pruzi, mice, smurfs and kritnitsy, and various kinds of flies and mussels, and moths, and ants, and gadflies, and wasps, and the polypede and the diverse genera of animals crawling on the earth , and flying birds, causing harm and vanity to fields, vineyards, orchards and gardens. ".

The Holy Martyr Tryphon

Saint Tryphon was born in the Phrygian country, in the village of Kampsad, near the city of Apamea. From a young age, the grace of God rested on him, and the Lord granted him the power of miracles, so that not only from the mouth of this baby, but also from his miraculous deeds, to make Himself praise.

The Great Menaion of the Four tells a lot about healing from all sorts of illnesses committed by the holy lad Tryphon, and about casting out demons from people who turned to him. We will first tell about one of his many miracles, testifying to the great grace of God that rested on him, and then we will tell about his suffering for the faith of Christ.

In the year 238, the emperor Gordian ascended the throne of Rome, who, although he was an idolater, did not persecute Christians. This king had an adult daughter, named Gordiana, a maiden distinguished by intelligence and beauty, so that many great and glorious princes wished to marry her to their sons.

But this girl, and with her all her family, suffered a great misfortune: by God's permission, the devil entered into her, with which he cruelly tormented her, plunging her into fire and water; brought to the sick girl, doctors known for their wisdom could not help her. But behold, the unclean spirit that dwelt in the maiden himself, at the command of God, proclaimed:

- No one can expel me from here, except for the youth Tryphon.

The king immediately sent to look for Tryphon everywhere. Many people were brought to the king who bore the same name, but not one of them could exorcise the demon from the king's daughter. Finally, they brought to the king the holy youth Tryphon, who was found in Phrygia, in the village of Kampsade, where he was tending geese by a lake; The boy was then seventeen years old. When the saint was approaching Rome, the devil, having learned about his arrival and began to torment the girl even more strongly, shouted loudly:

- I can’t live here anymore, because Tryphon is approaching, and on the third day he will come here, I can’t stand it anymore.

Having shouted thus, the unclean spirit left the girl.

On the third day, Saint Tryphon came to the city and was immediately brought to the royal chambers, where he was very kindly received by the king, for the king recognized in him that Tryphon, whom the devil mentioned when leaving the maiden.

But in order to be more convinced that it was Tryphon who healed his daughter, the king begged him to show the devil with his own eyes so that he could be seen with bodily eyes.

The saint agreed to the request of the king and remained in fasting and prayer for six days, and after that he received from above even greater and stronger power over unclean spirits. On the seventh day, at sunrise, the king came to the blessed one with all his synclites, wanting to see the devil. Then Tryphon, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking with spiritual eyes at the invisible spirit of malice, said to him:

“I tell you, unclean spirit, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, appear with your own eyes before those who are here, and show them your vile and shameless image, and show your weakness.

And immediately the devil appeared before everyone in the form of a black dog, which had fiery eyes, and dragged its head on the ground.

The saint turned to him with a question:

“Who sent you here, demon, to enter into the maiden, and how dare you enter into the one created in the image of God, being yourself so ugly and weak, and full of all kinds of abominations?”

- I was sent by my father - Satan, the head of all evil, who is in hell, from whom I received a command to torment this maiden.

Then the saint asked him again:

- Who gave you the power to encroach on the creation of God?

The demon, although against his will, but compelled by the invisible power of God, had to tell the truth.

“We have no power over those,” he said, “who know God and believe in His Only Begotten Son—Christ, for whom Peter and Paul died here—we flee from these people with fear, and only when we are allowed to, we cause them slight temptations from outside. But those who do not believe in God and the Son of God, and, being obedient to their own lusts, do things that are pleasing to us, over those we receive full power to torment them. The following deeds are pleasing to us: idolatry, blasphemy, adultery, sorcery, envy, murder, pride; By these and similar deeds, people become entangled, as if in snares, alienated from God, their Creator, and arbitrarily become friends with us, and together with us suffer eternal torment.

Hearing this, the king and those around him were struck with great fear and were horrified; and many leaving wickedness; believed in Christ; and the believers received an even greater confirmation of their faith, and glorified God.

The king, generously endowing the saint, let him go home in peace, but the saint distributed everything that he received from the king along the way to the poor; he himself, having returned to his fatherland, indulged in his usual occupation, healing the sick and pleasing God with a holy and blameless life.

"Exorcism of the Devil from the Daughter of the Emperor Gordian by Saint Tryphon" by Vittore Carpaccio. 1507

But the saint himself, having learned that they were looking for him, did not run into the desert and did not hide in the mountains and abysses of the earth, but, armed with prayer and the sign of the cross, he boldly went out to those who were looking for him and, surrendering into their hands, went with joy to eparch Aquilin , which at that time was in Nicaea. When Aquilinus, surrounded by armor-bearers, chiefs, servants and many people, sat down at the court, Pompinian, a scrinarius of high rank, said to him:

“Here is a young man from the city of Apamea, sent to your majesty, to stand before the bright court of your power.”

- Let the upcoming one tell us his name, and fatherland, and fortune.

- My name is Tryphon, my fatherland is the village of Kampsada, near the city of Apameysk, but we do not recognize fortune, for we believe that everything is done according to God's providence and His inexpressible wisdom, and not fortune, and does not depend either on the course of the star or on chance, as you believe. In life, I am guided by my free will, serving Christ alone. Christ is my faith, Christ is my praise, and the crown of my glory.

The eparch said to the saint:

“Probably, until today, you have not heard at all about the royal command, according to which everyone who calls himself a Christian and does not worship the gods must die an evil death; so be reasonable and leave your flattering faith, lest you be cast into the fire.

But Tryphon exclaimed:

– Oh, if only I could endure through fire and all the torments for the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and God!

- Tryphon, I advise you to make a sacrifice to the gods, for I see that you, although young in body, have a perfect mind, and I do not want you to die an evil death!

“Then I will have a perfect mind,” answered the saint, “when I bring a perfect confession to my God, and if I keep my pious faith in Him unchanged, like a precious treasure, and become a sacrifice to Him Who Himself sacrificed Himself for me.

Then the eparch, threatening the saint, cried out in anger:

- I will betray your body to fire, but I will tame your soul with the most cruel executions.

“You threaten me with fading fire,” Tryphon answered, “after which only ashes remain, but I threaten you, unbelievers, with eternal, unquenchable fire; leave your vain faith and know the true God, so that you do not repent later, when you fall into eternal fire.

But Akilin, inflamed with the strongest anger, ordered that the saint be beaten, hanging him on a tree. Hearing this order, Tryphon himself immediately took off his clothes and joyfully gave his body to the executioners for torture. The executioners, hanging him on a tree, with his hands tied behind him, severely tortured him for three hours. But the saint bravely endured the torment, not uttering a single cry, not a single groan for the entire time he was beaten. When they finished torturing him, Akilin again turned to him with an admonition:

- Think again, Tryphon, leave your madness, promise to bow to the gods, for none of those who do not want to obey the royal command can avoid a terrible death.

The saint boldly replied:

“And I tell you that no one who rejects the heavenly King Christ can inherit eternal life, but will be sent into eternal fire that never dies out.

The Eparch said:

- There is no other king of heaven, except Zeus, the son of Saturn, he is the father of both gods and people, and if someone does not bow to him, he cannot remain alive; worship him too if you want to enjoy the sweetness of this life.

Then the saint, wanting to enlighten the pagan with the light of truth and expose all the abomination of paganism, said to Aquilin:

- May all who worship him and hope in him be like your god Zeus; and it is told about him that he was the first most lawless sorcerer and pernicious sorcerer, the father of all wickedness and godlessness, after whose death people who wanted to follow his evil deeds made golden and silver idols for him, calling him a god; and they did this in order to have an excuse for themselves also in their uncleanness and lawlessness, so that no one would reproach them for shameful deeds, because their god was the same; likewise other vile and all-evil men were elevated to the rank of gods by their imitators; but you, believing in these ancient impious traditions and false fables, worship soulless and dumb idols, forgetting about the living God, who established the sky, founded the earth on the waters, and poured out the air; God, who created every creature and gave it a visible image, placed man, created after, as master over everything; but a man, through the envy of the devil, deceived by the crafty serpent (Gen., ch. 3), fell into innumerable calamities; then God the Word, having mercy on him, according to His will, Himself deigned to incarnate, and appeared in the likeness of a man, died on the cross, was buried, rose on the third day, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father, until all creation recognizes Him ; then He will come again with power and great glory, and will reward each according to his deeds. He is the God of gods, and the King of kings, and the Judge of the living and the dead; and the gods revered by you will serve to kindle the eternal fire with all those who worship them.

At the same time, repeating the words of the holy Protomartyr Archdeacon Stephen:

“Lord, do not impute this sin to them” (Acts 7:60). Returning after the hunt, the eparch called the martyr to him and said to him:

“Now, unfortunate one, have you not wisely thought of offering sacrifices to the gods, or are you remaining in your former madness?”

– You yourself, blinded by the devil, are full of madness and ignorance, because you cannot know the Creator of all and worship Him; but I remain wise, not deviating from the truth that saves me.

The eparch ordered the saint to be taken to prison; and he himself went to the nearest borders of the country, where he remained for some time.

Upon arrival back to Nicaea, the eparch, having appeared at the court, again summoned Tryphon and said to him:

“Did not your long stay in bonds teach you to obey the king’s command and turn to the gods?”

“My God and Lord Jesus Christ,” replied the saint, “whom I serve with a pure mind, teaching, instructed me and confirmed me, so that I could unchangingly and unshakably maintain faith in Him: therefore, I obey Him, the only true King and God, and I resort to Him, I despise your royal pride, and I turn away from the gods you revere.

The eparch, very angry, shouted to the servants:

- Drive sharp nails into his feet, and, driving around the city, beat him.

The servants immediately carried out the order of the tormentor. They began to lead the saint, or rather, drag him around the city, subjecting him to torture, and he endured terrible suffering - both from nails driven into his feet, and from severe frost, on the occasion of a harsh winter. But the great sufferer, having Christ before his spiritual gaze, and looking at future rewards, endured everything with great patience and joy; when he was again brought to the eparch, the tormentor, marveling at such patience of the saint, said to him with great annoyance:

- Until when, Tryphon, will you be insensitive to torment, and when will you feel all the terrible pain of torment?

– When will you also know the power of Christ that dwells in me; When will you stop, damned, tempting the Holy Spirit?

Then, burning with the strongest malice, the tormentor ordered him to be hung again on a tree and mercilessly beat with iron, and scorch his sides with burning candles. All this the servants performed with great diligence; but suddenly the light of heaven shone on the saint, and a beautiful crown descended from heaven on his head; stricken by this vision, the tormentors fell to the ground out of fear. Saint Tryphon, feeling the help that had come from above, was filled with joy and gladness, and, praying, said:

“I thank You, Lord, because You did not leave me helpless in the hands of my enemies, but protected me in the day of battle and gave me salvation, and Your hand supported me. And now I pray to You, Lord, do not leave me, affirming and protecting me, and vouchsafe me to accomplish this feat without fail, in order to be vouchsafed to receive the crown of righteousness with all those who love Your holy name, for You alone are glorified forever. Amen.

After that, the tormentor, having ordered to untie the bound saint and calling him to himself, began to exhort him with affection, saying:

- Tryphon, make a sacrifice to the great Zeus and bow to the royal image, and I will let you go.

But Tryphon answered with a smile:

“If I have shown contempt to the king himself and neglected his impious commands, then shall I bow down to his soulless image? It will not happen. About Zeus and other false gods, you ask your own wise men, who will tell you about what fables are composed about these gods to cover their vile deeds, applying their name to other things, calling the sky - Zeus, the air - the Hero, the earth - Ceres , the sea - Poseidon, the sun - Apollo, the moon - Diana. These same fabulists also named various bad customs and human passions by the names of your gods, inventing the god of anger and war - Mars, and calling the prodigal passion Venus. And so you, leaving the Creator of all God, madly filled the whole universe with idols and preferred the creature to the Creator; and not only yourselves, being deprived of sound mind and deviated from the true path, fall headlong into a soul-destroying abyss, but you also try to drag us into the same place in order to make us participants in your destruction, but, flatterers, you will not have any success! For you will never be able to deceive from the true path and incline to your idols those who hope in the true and living God.

Hearing these words, Akilin was surprised at such boldness of the saint and, angry, ordered to beat him without any mercy; the soldiers, taking the saint, tortured him for many hours in the most cruel manner.

Finally, the tormentor, seeing that he could not shake the unshakable pillar of faith and turn him away from Christ, made the following final sentence about him:

- Tryphon of Apamea, who opposes the royal command and, after various torments, did not want to make sacrifices to the gods, should be executed by beheading.

And immediately the soldiers, taking the martyr, led him out of the city to the place of beheading. Saint Tryphon, facing the east, turned to God with the following prayer:

"- Lord God, the King of kings, the most holy of all saints! I thank You for allowing me to accomplish this feat without stumbling. And now I pray to You: do not let the catching hand of the evil invisible enemy touch me, so that he does not bring me into the depths perdition, but bring me into the beloved villages together with Your holy angels, and make me the heir of Your longed-for kingdom; receive my soul in peace, all those who will remember the name of Your servant, and in my memory they will bring holy sacrifices to You, hear from on high Thy holiness; and look upon them from Thy holy habitation, giving them rich and incorruptible gifts, for Thou alone is the good and generous Giver forever and ever."

This is how the saint prayed. And yet the soldiers did not have time to behead his head, when the Lord took his soul; the honest body of Tryphon remained dead on the ground.

So Saint Tryphon, from his youth consecrated to God, who led many people to Christ, and healed many of them from illnesses, after great torments, accepted for truth, crowned with an incorruptible crown from the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the One in the Trinity of God, Whom glory forever. Amen.

Dmitry, Metropolitan of Rostov "Lives of the Saints"

The legend of the falconer

king and Saint Tryphon

Given the centuries-old history of retelling, this is already a legend. She tells that a young falconer of the well-known family of the Patrikeevs, the brave fellow Tryphon, was on the royal hunt. He was the king's favorite, and he was entrusted with the king's favorite falcon. Once again, the sovereign hunted in the vicinity of the village of Naprudnoe (today it is a district of Moscow - "Maryina Grove"). These lands with numerous lakes were famous in those days for the abundance of water game. The hunt was already over. Birds of prey in such a hunt were allowed to hunt game only at the direction of the king, and on that day, the highest did not see game worthy of the beloved gyrfalcon.

The falconer, however, was impatient to admire the hunting of his pupil, and Tryphon, seeing a flying heron, began to beg the king to allow him to release a gyrfalcon on it. He strongly doubted such a need, but yielded to the requests of Patrikeyev. Gyrfalcon went after the receding prey, and soon both birds disappeared from sight. The falconers rushed after them to look for the gyrfalcon.

The king was terribly annoyed that he heeded a stupid request. And when, a little later, it turned out that the gyrfalcon was not found, he fell into a rage and ordered Patrikeev to find the bird in three days. And if he does not find her, he will lose his head for his stupidity and inappropriate impatience. After hearing the verdict, Tryphon at first consistently and more than once hurriedly searches the forest, lakes, glades, but to no avail. By the third of the days allotted to him in search of, he had already despaired of finding a bird and was exhausted. Clearly realizing his helplessness and doomed to execution, he turned with a prayer to his heavenly protector - the Holy Martyr Tryphon.

He prayed zealously and for a long time, asking for help. Thus, with the words of a prayer, the haggard falconer sprawled on the ground at the feet of his horse and fell into a heavy sleep. In a dream, Saint Tryphon appeared to him on a white horse with a missing gyrfalcon on his right hand and told the falconer where to find the bird. Waking up from a dream, Tryphon rushed to the indicated place, where he found the gyrfalcon. Happy, he returned to Moscow and immediately to the king. He told him about everything that had happened and about the miraculous help of Saint Tryphon. He said that in gratitude for deliverance from inevitable death, he decided to build the temple of St. Tryphon in those places. The king rejoiced at the return of the bird, marveled at the miracle created by the heavenly patron of the falconer, and promised to assist in the construction of the temple ...

This is how the legend says, which in itself, having survived centuries and many human generations, is the second monument to the history of Tryphon the Falconer. Trifon Patrikeyev - did he really live? Was he a royal falconer? It is not known, but there was a family of nobles, the Patrikeevs, and they served more than one Russian tsar. So among them could be a noble son, a brave fellow, a favorite of the king, falconer Trifon Patrikeyev.

Folk tradition is reflected in the novel by A. K. Tolstoy "Prince Silver"

The rider rode at a trot, whistled merrily, and held a white gyrfalcon in a cowl and bells on a motley mitten.

Maxim recognized one of the royal falconers.

- Yes, it will be a week since Adragan flew away from the field! - answered the falconer, showing his gyrfalcon.

“But you probably don’t know, Maxim Grigorievich!” Well, I was already filled with fear, as the king untwisted me! May the merciful god and holy martyr Tryphon take pity on me! Showed me his miracle!

The falconer took off his hat and crossed himself.

- Look, Maxim Grigorievich: the sovereign has left, it will be a week, for bird fun. He let Adragan in twice; unfortunately, for the third time the foolishness found on Adragan. He began to beat the falcons, knocked down Smyshlyay and Mug, and let's pull! You wouldn't have time to count ten, as you have him out of sight. I was to ride after him, but where! Gone like it never happened. Here the falconer reported to the king that Adragan had disappeared.

The king ordered to call me, and he says that you, Trishka, answer me with your head for him;

you get it - I'll take pity on you,

you can't get it - off your head!

How to be! Father-king is not joking! I went to look for Adragan; tormented for six days; I felt uncomfortable around my neck; I think I'll have to shake my head. I began to cry; wept, wept, and from grief I fell asleep in the forest. As soon as I fell asleep, a vision appeared to me, sleepy: a radiance spread among the trees, and the ringing went through the forest. And, hearing that ringing, I, sleepy, say to myself: Adragan's bells are ringing. I look, in front of me sits on a white horse, all bathed in light, a young warrior and holds Adragan on his hand: “Tryphon! - said the warrior, - do not look for Adragan here. Get up, go to Moscow, to the Lazarev tract. There stands a pine tree, on that pine tree Adragan sits.

I woke up, and, I don’t know why, it became clear to me that the warrior was the holy martyr Tryphon. I jumped on my horse and galloped towards Moscow. Well, Maxim Grigorievich, would you believe it? when I arrived at that tract, I see: in fact, a pine tree, and my Adragan sits on it, exactly as the saint said!

“Maxim Grigorievich,” he added, wiping away his tears, “now I’ll sell all my bellies without a trace, even if I myself will go into eternal bondage, but I’ll build a chapel for the saint! I will build on the very spot where I found Adragan. And I will order the image to be written on the wall, exactly as the saint appeared to me: on a white horse, raising his hand high, and on it is a white gyrfalcon.

"Tryphon - Perezimnik, Starry,

Tryphon with a cat - Mousegon"

Day of the Holy Martyr Tryphon from that among the people Perezimnik they said that he was usually warm and clear, as if justifying the proverbs folded about the last month of winter:

"What is Tryphon, such are the remaining days of February"

If the wind is strong and cold, then spring will not please you with warmth, it will be late, and summer will be rainy; if it snows, the whole spring will drown in rain; if the weather is calm - wait for a warm spring.

"If it's calm outside, then the spring will be warm,"

"February the sun turns to summer"

“February blows cold - it smells spring”,

"February snow smells like spring."

But although it was customary to drive the cattle out of the barn on Tryphon “to warm the sides”, but only a sunny day, as a rule, a clear night preceded. What did not add hope for the arrival of early spring to people who knew.

“If in the evening the sky is covered with a misty layer of a transparent white cloud, then wait for good weather.”

“If the cold starts on Trifonov’s day, the spring will be late and cold.”

“If it snows on Tryphon, the spring will be rainy.”

"There are a lot of stars on Tryphon - a late road for spring."

"Starfall on Tryphon heralds a quiet spring."

On the one hand, if the whole sky is in bright stars, then spring will be late, on the other hand, if a starfall happens, it will be quiet and calm. And in some places it was believed that it was dangerous to look at the stars at Tryphon, they say, “it will burn with mouse fire”, that is, you will get a chill - a fever: “On Trifonov’s night, whoever looks at the stars will receive a spoiled illness. From the person's face will turn green, he will begin to shake. Say, this unknown tork settles in the body ". And to get rid of adversity, you need to “in the bitter cold until morning, stand in one place by dawn and the tork will leave the body”. Torque - braking, a cross between pushing and pulling.

Mice, having sat quietly all winter, suddenly begin to show unprecedented activity, fiddling with food and running in broad daylight through benches and chests. It’s good if the owners had at least a bunch of grass for this occasion, popularly called the “dog tongue”. They say that the mice were afraid of her like fire, hiding away from the ghostly past, otherwise at least run out of the house yourself. But after all, this was precisely what the little gray robbers wanted, and then the cats dozing on the stove entered the fight against them all winter.

On this day, rodents “talked” so that they would not spoil the stacks of bread, hay stocks. On the four sides of the stacks, they took a bunch of ears of corn and burned the houses in the oven, and the ashes were scattered in the four corners in the barn. It was believed that as a result, mice can be removed not only for a while, but also forever.

Saint Tryphon is revered as a healer, patron of hunters and fishermen, lord of reptiles.

"Spell of Saint Tryphon from reptiles" (considered canonical):

I conjure you by the incarnation of the only-begotten Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, and His living on earth with men, His saving passion, and His life-giving death, and His three-day resurrection, and Ascension to heaven, and all His Divine saving looking.

I conjure you and the holy multi-eyed Cherubim, the Six-winged Seraphim, flying around the throne, and singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts.

I conjure you with holy angels, and with all the powers of heaven, and thousands of thousands, who with much fear are coming to the glory of the Lord, but do not offend the grapes, neither the fields, nor the gardens, nor the wood, nor the potions of the servant of God (the name of the owner of the land, garden ...), but move away on marvelous mountains, on barren trees, God gave you everyday food to eat.

! The caster of this spell should read only those animals that harm the site (field, garden ...) at the moment, while the names of others are not supposed to be read. This is due to the fact that all animals and insects, including useful ones (bees, etc.), can die at once.

February has long been considered the month of weddings. According to ancient beliefs

a February wedding is very favorable for love and harmony, a long and happy life for a nascent family.

Tryphon takes care of the union of loving hearts, and takes care of the harmony in the family, and helps with the housework, saves prosperity in the house. Girls turn to Saint Trithomas with a request to send a good groom,

and barren women pray that God will send them children.

“... Since Your Holy Law commands people to live in an honest marriage,

then lead me, Holy Father, to this sanctified by You Call for the fulfillment of Your predestination, for You Yourself said:

it is not good for a man to be alone, and having created a wife as a helper, he blessed them to grow, multiply and inhabit the earth.

Hear my humble prayer from the depths of a girl's heart, sent to You: give me an honest and pious spouse ... "

Our ancestors prayer, conspiracies were often protection from rodents (mice, rats) in the house. You need to know that against rodents (mice, rats) in the house, or rather for their expulsion, it is not prayer that is mainly used, but conspiracies related to harmless white magic.

Prayer from mice and rats in the house

Against rodents (mice, rats) in the house, a prayer to the famous St. Tryphon. Its text is as follows:

Holy Martyr Tryphon, quick helper to all who come running to you, and praying before your holy image, quick to obey the representative! Hear now and every hour the prayer of us, who honor your holy memory in this all-honourable temple, and intercede for us before the Lord. You, the saint of Christ, the holy martyr Tryphon, resplendent in great miracles, before your departure from the life of the perishable, prayed to the Lord, asking him for this gift: every pretense of evil. And as if you were once the daughter of the king, in Rome from the devil tormented, healed us and save us from fierce wiles all the days of our life. Then be our helper, speedy chaser of evil spirits, and leader to the Kingdom of Heaven, where you now stand with the faces of the saints at the Throne of God. Pray the Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Holy Fathers from mice

The only case mentioned when getting rid of pests with the help of prayer was the expulsion of rodents by Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh. This man did not want to get rid of the mice in such a way as poison or a mousetrap, as he believed that the animal should not be killed.

Therefore, it would be more correct if prayer is used by people only so that the Lord gives them the mind to choose the right, effective way to fight against rat mice. As well as diligence, dexterity to prevent the return (after a while) of enemies of cleanliness, order in housing, the health of the owner himself - many clergy speak about this, and of different faiths.

The Lord gave people the opportunity to successfully deal with pests when they appear in a person's house. And the main means of dealing with flocks of rodents (rats, mice) in housing (it doesn’t matter if it’s an apartment, a summer house, a private house) is cleanliness and order in the house. That is, a rat, another pest (for example, a bug, a cockroach) look for food in a person’s dwelling and settle where they get what they want. And at the same time, a person does not want to apply enough diligence or intelligence to correct the situation. Therefore, a prayer asking for the expulsion of rodents is doomed to failure, the Lord does not heed the appeals of those who want to receive something easily, without difficulty. Prayer should contain a request to give the person, whose apartment, the habitat of rodents (mice, rats), patience and strength to fight such a phenomenon.

Prayer from mice Great breviary of Peter Mohyla

Actually, a specialized prayer against rodents (mice, rats) was practically not used until the middle of the last century. But when the Great Breeding Book of Peter the Grave was published, a prayer of unusual content was found there, in which Saint Tryphon addresses not to the Lord, but to all pest animals, insects, whose dwelling has become a person’s apartment, as beings endowed with reason and asks the “neighbors” of a person - why they came to housing and indicates that they should be ashamed, since people planted the plants that they eat, grew this food and bought it. And in the end, he asks them not to do this anymore, to get out and not start here anymore, as a result, the apartment remains free from uninvited "guests".

Purse Mouse Conspiracy

Plots on a purse mouse are popular among the people, you just need to know that this is a talisman that attracts wealth, money. This amulet is made of metal, stone, it is small and made specifically for wearing in a wallet. The talisman is activated (it will start its action) after it is placed in the wallet with the words: the mouse sat down, the money came. Therefore, this type of amulet is not suitable for those who want to fight against rodents (mice, rats). That is, conspiracies against the "tenants" in the house must be applied skillfully.

A conspiracy from mice to the waning moon

Any conspiracies on a similar topic should be performed on the so-called waning moon, in some cases on a specific day, all this increases their strength. There are numerous conspiracies, one of them reads as follows:

1. In order for the apartment to be cleared of unwanted "neighbors", you need to find a stone, approximately the size of a man's fist;
2. At home, put it on a regular plate;
3. Bring the stone on a plate to the room where the most rodents are seen, if it is an apartment and there is only one pest, then you can put it in the place where it is supposed to be and put the plate with the contents there. And you need to go in / out with your back forward;
4. When the plate with the stone is installed in the right place, then you should say the following in a half-whisper: Brought (-la), I am a servant (-a) of God (the name is called), a stone of the Gryzova tribe. Let it gnaw at a stone, but do not touch the good in the house. Then the text can be repeated, and then leave the room.

This completes the ceremony, the stone must stand in the designated place until the person stops finding traces of rodents, that is, until the apartment is cleared of gray robbers. Other conspiracies should not be used for a long time. If there is a desire, then when conspiracies are performed, a lit candle can be used.

Prayers from mice in an apartment and a private house

There are no special prayers, after reading which the apartment will be cleared of rats, the same can be said about the case with mice in the house. The main prayer that drives out rodents is the text found in P. Mohyla's Big Breed. But since this is a prayer-spell (an appeal to the rodents themselves), which must be read in the presence of the animals themselves, no one will be able to do everything correctly. For example, according to the text, a person should see a mouse, ask to sit down and listen to him. Next, the owner of the home must shame the animal and ask him to leave his house. In view of the fact that such conspiracies are difficult for ordinary people, it is customary to simply turn to the author of the specified text, Saint Tryphon, to help expel the "neighbors". The text with which St. Tryphon expelled all living creatures from houses found at St. Basil the Great. Prayer with which you need to turn to St. Trifon is listed at the very top of the article.

Orthodox prayer from mice

the only Orthodox prayer, which is a powerful appeal with which you can ask for the removal of pests, is a prayer found in the breviary of Metropolitan Mohyla. But since it is complex and it is officially considered that only Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh could fulfill it. Then it was replaced by the prayer indicated in the first paragraph of this article.

Does prayer help from mice and rats

To date, only Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh could expel rats and mice with the help of prayer, the description says that he called the mouse and went to the middle of the room, where she was asked to sit down and listen. At the same time, the animal sat on its hind legs and began to listen, then he felt ashamed and she left, taking her fellow tribesmen, that is, the metropolitan's apartment was freed from rodents. Those who do not know how to deal with animals should go to specialized stores and buy poisons, mousetraps, ultrasonic repellers. Only when using such funds will the apartment be freed from "tenants". Those who wish to use conspiracies, also use mousetraps in combination with them.
