Prayer to Alexander Nevsky

Who is Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky

One of the most revered in the Russian Orthodox Church is St. Alexander Nevsky. This is one of the most famous Russian rulers and commanders. The time of his life was 1220 - 1263. He spent his childhood in Pereslavl-Zalessky, and in 1236 he became the prince of Novgorod. These were difficult years when German knights and Swedish troops attacked the Novgorod land.

Alexander Nevsky was able to successfully resist the invaders. In 1240, the Novgorodians, led by the great Commander, defeated the Swedish troops on the Neva. It was in honor of this battle that Prince Alexander became known as Nevsky. And in 1242, Russian troops were able to defeat the Teutonic Knights in the battle on Lake Peipus.

The wisdom of the Grand Duke of Novgorod land was that he continued the policy of his father Yaroslav Vsevolodovich. In order to prevent the ruin of Rus', Alexander Nevsky continued to strengthen friendship with the Golden Horde. Having visited Batu, the prince refused to bow to pagan idols and thus earned the respect of the khan. Subsequently, thanks to the efforts of the prince, it was possible to open a diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church on the territory of the khanate. This made it possible to lay the foundation for the future multinational Russian state.

Alexander Nevsky died on his way home after another diplomatic mission to the Golden Horde. Before his death, he became a monk with the name Alexis. His body was carried to Vladimir for ten days, but it remained incorruptible.

Alexander Nevsky was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church under Metropolitan Macarius in the Moscow Cathedral in 1547. In 1721, on the day of the victory over the Swedes by Peter 1, it was decided to transfer the relics of the Grand Duke from Vladimir to the Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg. The relics are still there today.

Holy Blessed Alexander Nevsky. Prayer and services to Russia

Before starting discussions about what Alexander Nevsky became famous for, how prayer helps a saint, it is necessary to at least get acquainted with the life of this person in order to find out more precisely what his merit to the Church is.

Alexander Nevsky, despite his marching and semi-nomadic life, was a real Orthodox person in spirit. As a political leader, he clearly reflected Christian ideals. It is known that Alexander observed the fasts and did not miss a single Sunday service.

Prayer to the holy blessed Alexander Nevsky has a special power. Miraculous healings still occur at the relics of the saint.

Identity Secret

One legend says that Ivan the Terrible himself, before going to Kazan in Vladimir, asked for blessings from the shrine with the relics of the holy prince. Prayer to Saint Alexander Nevsky is especially strong on the days of his veneration: this is December 6 - the day of his death - and the day of the transfer of his holy relics - September 12. In ancient documents you can find many descriptions of his miracles. Thanks to the prayers of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky, people receive unexpected help.

What is the secret of his personality? What allowed him to be imprinted in the people's mind and become the ideal ruler? For the entire period of the formation of the Russian state, such figures can be counted on the fingers, they are milestones, because, regardless of their will, it was with them that the countdown of a new period in the history of Rus' began.

The beginning of everything was laid by the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, who made pagan Rus' Christian. The next was Alexander Nevsky, who determined the place of Rus' between the West and the East. From that moment on, it began to develop as a special civilization, neither of the Western nor of the Eastern type. The next person of this magnitude was Tsar John III, who turned the Principality of Moscow into an imperial state. From a regional center, he made Moscow almost a world center. He is followed by Peter I, who adopted Western forms of statehood, becoming, in fact, at the head of national resistance to the same Western influence. This complex somersault was not completely successful for him, but, as a reformer tsar, he determined the path of Russia for two centuries.

Alexander Nevsky as a person

Returning to the personality of this holy man, it should be noted that all the continuity of national ideals was concentrated in him - patriotism, honor, valor, and most importantly - he was an ascetic of faith and an example of holiness. Nevsky is a descendant of the famous princely family of Monomakhs, who gave Russia 15 grand dukes and 18 saints. This family not only accepted Orthodoxy, but fully realized the full depth of the Christian way of life and showed by their own example what service to God and their people is. It is the Monomakhs who can be credited with the fact that they so skillfully and effectively began to form a single Orthodox state from Rus'. Therefore, prayers are offered to one of them - Alexander Nevsky - for all occasions.

It is almost impossible to find similar examples of consistent life achievement. Alexander Nevsky became an outstanding grand duke, a brave commander, a wise politician and diplomat, who was later glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church. According to historians, his life passed "between the hammer and the anvil."

The Lord gave him only 43 years of earthly life (from 1220 to 1263). He was born in Pereslavl-Zaleski. First he became the ruler of Novgorod (1236). In 1249 he became the Grand Duke of Vladimir and the ruler of all Rus'.

Nevsky led the Russians in a difficult time, when her enemies took up arms against Rus' from all sides - from the south, the Tatar-Mongols, from the west and from the north, German, Livonian and Swedish Catholic knightly orders. He was admired by his enemies, as he showed himself as a talented commander and a wise politician.

In 1240, his army defeated the Swedes on the Neva, after which the prince began to be called Nevsky. In 1242 he defeated the Teutonic Knights at Lake Peipus. He followed the same principles in politics as his father, Yaroslav Vsevolodovich. To prevent the ruin of Rus', he skillfully negotiated with the Golden Horde. Once, visiting Batu, he refused to sacrifice to pagan idols, for which he earned respect from the khan. Subsequently, Nevsky managed to create a diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Khan's territory, and these were the first foundation stones for building a new multinational state.

Death of a prince

Returning from the Horde after his diplomatic mission in 1263, Alexander Nevsky died in the place of Gorodets on the Volga. Before that, he took the schema with the name Alexy. His lifeless body was carried to Vladimir for 10 days, all this time it remained incorruptible. The then Metropolitan Kirill, having learned from a messenger about the death of the prince, uttered sad words from the pulpit: “My children, know that the sun of the Russian land has set.”

The canonization of Alexander Nevsky took place at the Moscow Cathedral (1547). On the day of the victory over the Swedes (1721), Tsar Peter I transferred the relics of the Grand Duke from the city of Vladimir to St. Petersburg and ordered them to be installed in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in the Trinity Cathedral, where they are to this day.

Amen.

How prayer helps a saint, it is necessary to at least get acquainted with the life of this person in order to find out more precisely what his merit before the Church is.

Alexander Nevsky, despite his marching and semi-nomadic life, was a real Orthodox person in spirit. As a political leader, he clearly reflected Christian ideals. It is known that Alexander observed the fasts and did not miss a single Sunday service.

Prayer to the holy blessed Alexander Nevsky has a special power. Miraculous healings still occur at the relics of the saint.

Identity Secret

One legend says that Ivan the Terrible himself, before going to Kazan in Vladimir, asked for blessings from the shrine with the relics of the holy prince. Prayer to Saint Alexander Nevsky is especially strong on the days of his veneration: this is December 6 - the day of his death - and the day of the transfer of his holy relics - September 12. In ancient documents you can find many descriptions of his miracles. Thanks to the prayers of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky, people receive unexpected help.

What is the secret of his personality? What allowed him to be imprinted in the people's mind and become the ideal ruler? For the entire period of the formation of the Russian state, such figures can be counted on the fingers, they are milestones, because, regardless of their will, it was with them that the countdown of a new period in the history of Rus' began.

The beginning of everything was laid by the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, who made pagan Rus' Christian. The next was Alexander Nevsky, who determined the place of Rus' between the West and the East. From that moment on, it began to develop as a special civilization, neither of the Western nor of the Eastern type. The next person of this magnitude was Tsar John III, who turned the Principality of Moscow into an imperial state. From a regional center, he made Moscow almost a world center. He is followed by Peter I, who adopted Western forms of statehood, becoming, in fact, at the head of national resistance to the same Western influence. This complex somersault was not completely successful for him, but, as a reformer tsar, he determined the path of Russia for two centuries.

Alexander Nevsky as a person

Returning to the personality of this holy man, it should be noted that all the continuity of national ideals was concentrated in him - patriotism, honor, valor, and most importantly - he was an ascetic of faith and an example of holiness. Nevsky is a descendant of the famous princely family of Monomakhs, who gave Russia 15 grand dukes and 18 saints. This family not only accepted Orthodoxy, but fully realized the full depth of the Christian way of life and showed by their own example what service to God and their people is. It is the Monomakhs who can be credited with the fact that they so skillfully and effectively began to form a single Orthodox state from Rus'. Therefore, prayers are offered to one of them - Alexander Nevsky - for all occasions.

It is almost impossible to find similar examples of consistent life achievement. Alexander Nevsky became an outstanding grand duke, a brave commander, a wise politician and diplomat, who was later glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church. According to historians, his life passed "between the hammer and the anvil."

He spent his childhood in Pereslavl-Zalessky, and in 1236 he became the prince of Novgorod. These were difficult years when German knights and Swedish troops attacked the Novgorod land.

Alexander Nevsky was able to successfully resist the invaders. In 1240, the Novgorodians, led by the great Commander, defeated the Swedish troops on the Neva. It was in honor of this battle that Prince Alexander became known as Nevsky. And in 1242, Russian troops were able to defeat the Teutonic Knights in the battle on Lake Peipus.
