Life of the first monks

• The first Christian monks appeared at the end of the 3rd century AD. They defined the main rule of monastic life: “Work and pray.” The monks settled far from people - in deserts, and built monastic hermitages in the wilderness.
• The desert monks lived in solitude, prayed to God, and followed the commandments. They settled away from people not because they did not love people, but in order to please God more, to become closer to Him.

Slide 5

Anthony the Great

The first Christian monk, Saint Anthony the Great, lived away from people and only occasionally came to a village or city in order to exchange the baskets he had woven for flour.

Slide 6

Monks and people

• People noticed a special silence, joy, light, peace in the eyes of the monks. And they began to ask them how they could live without anger, suspicion, and envy.
• Both the townspeople and the princes began to invite the monks to come to them: “You will return from your deserts. We will build temples and houses for you, and we will build walls around them so that the noise and sight of the bustle of the city will not touch you. But only allow me to come to you to participate in your prayer and to receive your spiritual advice.”

Slide 7

City monasteries

So, in addition to the desert monks, city monasteries appeared in which communities of monks lived. Monasteries now have large churches, bell towers, and workshops.

Slide 8

What did the monks do

For many centuries, almost all books were copied by monks. Almost all hospitals were created and maintained by monks. And even schools were created at the monasteries.

Slide 9

How to become a monk

• It is difficult to become a monk. To distinguish a vocation from a random whim, someone who wishes to become a monk is asked to simply live at the monastery in obedience for several years, that is, to become a novice. Obedience means that a person makes a very serious and courageous decision.
• If the novice does not change his decision, he asks to be accepted as a monk. He takes monastic vows (that is, he promises to live in obedience, celibacy, without personal belongings). After pronouncing the vows, the novice is tonsured (several strands of hair are cut from the head). In the ancient world it was a sign of slavery.

Slide 10

To be tonsured as a monk or nun means that he himself, freely, gives himself up as a servant of Christ, so that no one else and nothing else can control him. A completely different life begins for him and therefore, when he is tonsured, he receives a new name.

Slide 11

How to be a monk

A monk does not need to waste energy defending his rights and interests. To protect your property. He has nothing to share, he has no reason to quarrel. Therefore, he can quickly achieve inner peace, peace in the soul. Being a monk is a very difficult path, but it is the most direct path to holiness.

Slide 12

Monks' clothing

• Cowl - a monk's headdress. Comparable to a military helmet and reminds that a monk must protect his mind from evil thoughts.
• The mantle is a vestment that envelops the entire body, a sign of life under God's protection.
• Rosary beads-knots; sorting through them helps the monk to concentrate in prayer.
• The belt is made from the skin of a dead animal, as a reminder that the body is mortal and the soul must be taken care of first.
• The monks perceive their vestments as military: the rosary is called the “sword of faith”, and the hood is the “helmet of faith”.

Slide 13

Cherepovets Resurrection Monastery

Slide 14

Story

... a Moscow merchant was traveling with goods along the Sheksna River to Belozersk. Near the present city of Cherepovets, near the mouth of the Yagorba River, during the day there suddenly became such darkness that the banks of the river, the cape, etc. disappeared from the merchant’s eyes. The boat with the goods ran aground. Struck by such an extraordinary phenomenon, the merchant began to pray fervently, and then, during the prayer, an even more amazing sight presented itself to his eyes: a nearby mountain, covered with forest, seemed to be on fire, from behind the mountain, rays of light emanated along the valley of the Yagorba River, indicating the directions ways. The merchant refloated and swam in the direction of the rays to a wonderful, fiery mountain - and the phenomenon disappeared. Shocked to the core by such an extraordinary phenomenon, the merchant climbed this mountain. A wonderful view presented itself to him from this mountain: endless forests all around, in the distance in the east the silver ribbon of Sheksna, under his feet, in a lowland overgrown with dense forest, the Yagorba River meandered in bizarre zigzags.

Slide 15

All this happened on Sunday. Having marked this wonderful place with a cross, the merchant left. The next year, bringing with him a large icon of the Resurrection of Christ (the day of the miraculous vision), he built a chapel on the mountain and decorated it with the brought icon. This legend adds that two monks Theodosius and Afanasy came to the chapel built by the merchant and established the Cherepovets Resurrection Monastery here.

The holy spring is hidden among the birches, As soon as the wind rustles the leaves. We wander in the kingdom of our own dreams, Fearing to frighten away the exciting peace. Transparent air, bright blue sky, And in the distance you can see the river. The monastery is lost in the dense foliage, Time and centuries have no power over him.

DURING THE CLASSES

UPDATED (5-7 minutes).

The teacher invites the children to listen to an excerpt of the song “Monastery”

What do you think we'll talk about today?

(Children's answers)

Teacher: Do you want to go on a virtual trip today?

What questions should we ask ourselves?

What is a monastery, how do they live in a monastery, what is prayer, Holy Elders.

FORMATION OF ABILITIES AND SKILLS:

The teacher shows the children the signs “Monastery”, “Monks”, “Cell”, “Prayer”, “Life in the Monastery”, “Holy Elders”.

Today we have to answer the questions that we have posed to ourselves.

The teacher displays the first card “Monastery”

What is a monastery? Who was in the monastery?

Children's answers.

The first slide appears with a photo of the monastery.

A monastery is a place where heaven meets earth. This is what the soul of the person who opens the modest wooden door feels. Separating the world and the monastery and stepping onto its fertile land. Holy Elders.

A monastery is a special world, it has its own laws and rules. People come there to venerate shrines and cleanse their souls. Some people go for advice in a difficult life situation, for healing from an illness. And some people connect their lives with God and remain in the monastery to perform their feat of piety.

Who lives in the monastery and how?

Why do people become monks?

What do monks give up?

(Children's answers).

Slide 2 appears (Photo of monks)

A monk (nun) is a person who, due to his religious beliefs and vocation, agreed to live without a family. He himself believes that he did not so much refuse as agree: he agreed with a certain call of God, which pointed to his calling.

What is a calling?

(Students' answers).

Vocation is the meaning of a particular person’s life. Vocation is uniqueness in this world. God creates people for some task, and if we deviate, then it is our fault before God. Each of us must understand ourselves and our responsibilities.

What do you think monks do? A card appears on the board.

Monasticism is happiness, but it is also a cross. Yes, this can often be said about what you deal with while living in the world: work, children, family. In life, joys and sorrows always go side by side. There are moments in the life of a monk when he feels with particular strength the joy of being with the Lord. Here's the other side of the coin. The Lord does not immediately “load” the monk with all the sorrows that await him, but over time and as he grows spiritually and becomes stronger. So that the monk can withstand them. And also for this purpose, the Lord acts this way so that the monk, feeling the full weight of the monastic cross, would not be horrified, would not become despondent and would not regret his choice. Because at first he is really not ready to bear sorrow in its “full extent.”

Sometimes it seems that a monk is a loser who, instead of making efforts and building his life, escapes from problems into a monastery...

The “Cell” card appears on the board.

Can any of you explain what this is?

A cell is a living space in a monastery.

Guys, discuss in groups everything you know about the life of monks.

Read the section “This is interesting” in the textbook. Prepare the performance “Monastic vestments” (Cowl, mantle, rosary, belt)

What qualities do you think a person who takes monastic vows should have?

(We listen to the performances of each group)

Now, let's answer the question? A monk is a loser who, instead of making efforts and building his life, goes away from his problems to a monastery...

This is how a non-church person can answer. And the Orthodox know that the main rule in monasticism is “Work and pray.” The morning in the monastery begins very early, at 3–4 o’clock we are still there, and the monks are already performing morning prayer. They eat food once a day, sometimes twice. The monks work hard, perform obediences - work in the fields, in the monastery kitchen or repair the monastery buildings, etc. The rest of the time they pray.

What do we know about prayer? The “Prayer” card appears

Orthodox people have three types of prayer.

The most common prayer is a request. "Give it, Lord."

A prayer-request is a request from God for help and various benefits. Most often they start with everyday goods: health or success.

A rarer prayer is thanksgiving. Rare because people ask rather than thank. Having received what we want, we often forget to thank. So it is in the relationships of people among themselves, and in the relationships of people with God.

The highest prayer is doxology. In such prayer, a person simply experiences the joy of his meeting with God and rejoices. Moving on to the doxology, in Orthodox churches they often sing: “Hallelujah!” ("God bless").

When saying such a prayer, a person does not think about his own interests. It is unselfish joy that is the strongest and purest. You can enjoy a new toy or thing. But there are reasons for joy that cannot be taken home. Is it possible to take away a beautiful sunset, a rainbow, the smell of fresh greenery after the rain, or the trill of a nightingale?

An Orthodox person can pray alone and together with other people. He can pray in any language. He can pray anywhere.

If a person prayed sincerely and correctly, he, as the experience of Orthodox culture says, touches God with his heart and changes internally. The action of God that changes a person is called grace (“good, good gift”). People who, under the influence of grace, have changed so that faith, hope, and love flow from their hearts and actions are called saints.

(Students' answers).

What famous Holy Elders do you know?

Who are called the Holy Elders?

(Students' answers).

Today we learned a lot about monasteries and you probably wanted to see monastic life with your own eyes in the near future.

Today we will go on a virtual trip to Sergiev Posad. We will visit the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra.

Viewing the presentation is accompanied by a story from the teacher.

Cyril and Maria were kind and godly people: they helped the poor and sick, and welcomed strangers. The couple already had a son, Stephen, when God gave them another son - the future founder of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra, St. Sergius. From the very beginning, even before birth, it was clear that an unusual child would be born. Long before the birth of this holy baby, a wondrous sign was given by God, which carried the meaning that a great chosen one would be born. Several times the baby, while still in his mother’s womb, cried out during church services. And so on May 3, 1314, there was general joy and fun in the house of boyar Kirill. God sent a son to Mary and her husband. On the fortieth day after birth, Mary and Cyril carried their baby to church to perform holy baptism on him, and at the same time fulfill their promise to present the child as an immaculate sacrifice to God who gave him. A reverent priest named Michael named the baby in holy baptism the name Bartholomew - SON OF JOY. Meanwhile, the mother, and then others, began to notice something unusual in the baby: the baby, to everyone’s surprise, did not drink his mother’s milk on Wednesdays and Fridays, and he also did not take his mother’s breast if Maria ate a meat dish before feeding. As time went. In the seventh year of Bartholomew’s life, his parents sent him to learn to read and write. Two brothers also studied with Bartholomew. The brothers studied successfully, although Peter was not even six years old at that time, and Bartholomew was far behind them. The teacher punished him, his comrades reproached him and even laughed at him, his parents persuaded him; and he himself strained all the efforts of his childish mind, spent his nights over a book, and often, hiding from human gaze, somewhere in solitude, he cried bitterly about his inability, fervently and earnestly prayed to God and asked him: “Give me , Lord, understand this letter; Teach me, enlighten me and enlighten me!” But he was still not given a diploma. Once his father sent him into the field to look for runaway foals. This assignment was especially to the liking of the boy, who loved to retire from people. Walking along the road, the boy saw a very old man praying on his knees under an oak tree. The youth quietly approached him and began to patiently wait for the end of the prayer. After the elder rose from his knees, he looked at the boy and asked him, “What do you need, child?” and with childish simplicity he told the elder his heartfelt grief. “They sent me to learn to read,” Bartholomew said through tears: “and most of all my soul would like to learn to read, but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t learn; pray to God for me, holy father, ask the Lord to reveal the teaching to me.” The elder raised his hands to the sky, raised his eyes to the sky, read the proper prayer, and at the end of it he blessed Bartholomew and let him kiss his cross. And then he said: “Do you believe, and you will see more than these and about literacy, child, do not grieve; know that from this day onwards the Lord will grant you literacy.” The boy bowed to the elder and invited him to his parents’ house to rest, saying that such people were revered in his house. And then a real miracle happened. When they arrived at the boyars' house, they were met by Bartholomew's pious parents Kirill and Maria. But before they sat down at the table, they went into the prayer room, and the elder monk ordered the youth Bartholomew to take the Psalter and read. Bartholomew looked pleadingly at the monk, as if asking with his gaze to let him go. But the monk kindly and sternly said: “Read.” And a miracle of God happened. It was as if a dark curtain had fallen from Bartholomew’s eyes, and without hesitation, he began to read the Psalter fluently. Silence reigned in the prayer room, and he continued to read the psalm purely, beautifully. Voice it sounded like a spring. The psalm was finished. It was truly a miracle. Bartholomew’s heart rejoiced with joy. As he left, the elder predicted an unusual future for Bartholomew. From his childhood, when most teenagers had games and fun on their minds. Bartholomew's long-standing dream was to retire and pray. However, he was the only support of his elderly parents. When Bartholomew turned 18, his parents died. He and his older brother decided to become monks, go to the forest, build a monastery there and serve God. So they did. They chose a place on Mount Makovets and built a small wooden monastery there. After some time, the monk Mitrofan came to him, from whom Bartholomew took monastic vows with the name Sergius, he was 23 years old. Sergius lived near Radonezh, which is why they began to call him Radonezh, because... in those distant times people did not have surnames. They were given nicknames either by the craft they practiced, or by their character, or by their place of residence. And Sergius was the first tonsure of his solitary monastery, the first in undertaking and the last in wisdom, the first in succession, and the last in those humble labors that he imposed on himself. Other people learned about Sergius of Radonezh. They came to the monk and stayed with him to live, build themselves wooden houses and a church. Everyone worked together, together. Sergius of Radonezh worked together with everyone. Only by his personal example could the teacher convince his students that they needed to earn bread by working with their own hands. This rule remains true today. Having gone through a difficult period of lonely asceticism, Sergius wants to build a monastery and lead the brethren. He observed the spiritual life of the brethren and was strict. In all other respects he was humble. He was still simple, poor and indifferent to worldly goods. His voice was quiet, his face calm. Six months before his death, the Reverend already knew about it, gathered all his disciples, gave orders, and he himself began to remain silent. Before his death, he left the following testament to his brothers: strictly preserve the purity of the Orthodox faith, maintain unanimity, purity of soul and body, unfeigned love, avoid evil desires, abstain in food and drink, humble your pride, and show mercy. The Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Sergius of Radonezh on October 8. This is the day of the saint's death. He died on September 25 (October 8, new style) 1392. In 1452, St. Sergius of Radonezh was canonized.

Nowadays, people turn to Sergius of Radonezh with a request for help in their studies. The whole Russian land was filled with rumors about the holy elder, and to this day pilgrims are drawn to the monastery. No one goes back unconsoled. Together with the monastery prosphora and water from the holy spring, people bring the most precious thing to their hearths - a blessing. Slide 2

Miracles Life says that omens of the baby’s miraculous fate happened even before he was born. When his mother came to the temple for prayer, the baby cried out in her womb at certain moments of the service. From the first days of his life, the child, who was named Bartholomew, refused to suck his mother's milk on fasting days - Wednesdays and Fridays.

Bartholomew's studies In the seventh year of Bartholomew's life, his parents sent him to learn to read and write. Bartholomew was far behind the children. The teacher punished him, his comrades reproached him and even laughed at him. Bartholomew often, hiding from human gaze, wept bitterly about his inability, fervently and earnestly prayed to God and asked him: “Give me, Lord, to understand this letter; Teach me, enlighten me and enlighten me!”

Bartholomew’s request - “They sent me to learn to read and write,” Bartholomew said through tears: “and most of all my soul would like to learn to read, but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t learn; pray to God for me, holy father, ask the Lord to reveal the teaching to me.” The elder raised his hands to the sky, raised his eyes to the sky, read the proper prayer, and at the end of it he blessed Bartholomew and let him kiss his cross.

He was tonsured Around 1328, the boy’s parents moved to the small town of Radonezh, not far from Moscow. Bartholomew and his brother decided to go to a monastery. They settled in a deep forest twelve miles from Radonezh. However, it became difficult for his brother to live in such a deserted place, and he moved to one of the Moscow monasteries. And Bartholomew became a monk under the name of Sergius.

Friendship The bear became friends with Sergius. Sergius did not drive him away, he fed him, it even happened that he gave the last food to the bear, but he himself remained hungry. This suggests that Sergius was truly a special person

Rev. Gradually, other monks began to come to Sergius, wanting to serve God with their labors. The monk gladly received them. This is how the Sergius Monastery was conceived - the current Trinity-Sergius Lavra (in Greek laura - a large, large monastery). “By the example of his life, by the height of his spirit, the Monk Sergius raised the fallen spirit of his native people, awakened in them confidence in himself, in his strengths, and inspired faith in the future.” From his generation came the founders of 150 new monasteries.

Sergiev Posad Over time, there was less and less space for everyone in the monastery. And people began to build their houses and settle around it. This is how the city of Sergiev Posad appeared.

Sergius of Radonezh The Monk Sergius died in 1392 at the age of 78, and there was not a day when people did not come to him for help with their worries and sorrows.

2nd group. Work on slide No. 2. Icon of the Last Supper.

What is shown on the slide? The Last Supper is the last supper.

Before His departure to the cross, Christ gathered the apostles. It was a farewell meal. Taking a cup of wine in his hands, Christ said to the apostles: “Drink everything. This is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you and for many.”

After that, he broke a loaf of bread and handed it to the apostles: “Taste.” This is My Body, broken for the remission of sins.” We know that although Christ accepted death on the cross, he then rose again.

In order for people to become parts of Christ, His partakers, Christ gave people His Body at the Last Supper. But so that people would not be afraid, Christ gave His Body and Blood to people in the form of bread and wine.

The first communicants were the apostles. Then they passed on the shrine to which they became involved, to other people.
