Holy Blessed Tomsk blast furnace icon. Holy blessed Domna Tomsk chapel. The Majesty of the Blessed Domna of Tomsk

She was born at the beginning of the 19th century from a noble homeland in the Poltava region, and her father was buried in Karp. Having been orphaned at an early age, she lived and nursed at her aunt’s house. She received miracle illumination and spoke freely to many people. In her youth she was a great girl, and before her there were plenty of wooers who were willing to take her as a friend. The righteous woman wanted to preserve her virginity for the sake of the Lord. Finding out that her relatives wanted to forcefully marry her, she secretly took away her cubicle, changed into simple clothes and used a mandarin to worship the holy places. There are quite a few documents that confirm her specialness, and she was arrested in Poltava. For the decisions of the court under the name of Maria Slepchenko, she was sent to Siberia, Cainsky district.

Blessed Domna Tomska (left hand)

Who was there in the world? You can only guess about this from various lists and editions of their lives. Spirituality was taken away from the noble family, and their spirituality shone through the days of foolishness. It was illuminated, as can be seen from what happened: one day the village in which Domna Karpivna lived at that hour came up, a noble woman passed by, and Domna talked to her for a long time in foreign language. Her appearance was increasing; in youth, it was obviously even hotter. All the same, she called for nothing, having loved the Lord Jesus Christ and for His sake, eager to preserve her worth, she committed herself to the important and dangerous path of foolishness.

She didn’t like to talk to herself. Just once she said to the squads of village priests: “Wear caps, matins, cloth that is clean. They will be more respected. When I was young, I myself got better. In another relationship with the woman she married, whom she called “mother,” she said: “I didn’t have a father, I lived with my aunt. My aunt wanted to marry me by force, but I didn’t want to leave at all.” lay in the cage and flowed ". From these words, you can learn that she began to teach holy prayers: “Go to the monastery,” one priest told her, “pray for us sinners.” “I’ve already walked through monasteries a lot,” she said, “but they won’t accept you anywhere, you’ll marry me, but they’ll say they’ll send you to Siberia.”

She lived quite a quiet life, God knows, she dressed herself in such a marvelous way: she would pick up some old garment, fold it into a bundle, and then burnt herself all over and hung it with these important bundles, as in such a manner they represented the faiths. Behind her bosom and in her guts there were bits of shibo, stone, cod, thyrsus, rotten, zukor, which she distributed to her puppers, who gave these gifts an allegorical sensation.

In isolated outbursts, Domna lost her foolishness with certain people and spoke rationally, matter-of-factly, her words breathed with lofty Christian love and with its warmth calmed the souls of the listeners.

A lot of residents gave her gifts, and Eminence Porfiry, having given her a fur coat, received it from time to time and discreetly distributed it to the foals. Bishop Porfiry said: “It is foolish to read us, the wise ones. Oh, we should have thought of such love for our neighbor and such patience for the sake of Christ!”

Domna loved to walk the streets and sing spiritual songs, and also to twist the powerful of the world, for which she was dragged to the police station. Tomsk merchants and merchant women here also loaded up with whole boxes of flour, tea, and zukor. She distributed everything to the prisoners. When the blessed one was released from arrest, her convicts saw her off with tears, and in the simplicity of their hearts they wished to take her to the police as soon as possible.

She acted like a fool against the people, but her secret prayer was beautiful and great. “I once looked into the side window,” said one pious woman, “I was amazed, Domna Karpovna, kneeling down, praying, - oh, how to pray! And the tears, the tears! So and flow from two streams from the eyes її" . Just as Domna Karpovna noted her prayers, she began to act like a fool again.

Domna said that she doesn’t love foals, and very rarely does anyone help them, and now collect all the ganchers and have given up all unnecessary speeches; she already loved and urged her friends to take care of everything That's right, always in boxes. Then through the hands of these savers all the speeches passed to the marriages. Domna especially spoke about the mandrivniks, for whom she asked for bread, rolls, milk, etc. and gave them, as she called the mandrivniks “slippery.”

Knowing about the hardship of being in bondage with the Tomsk police station, Domna began to walk around them and sing spiritual songs, for which she herself suffered. Having learned about this, Tomsk merchants and merchant women, who wandered around Domna, brought her pies, mlints, tea and zukor in batches. She distributed everything to the prisoners who were in jail. When the time came for her release, her comrades, out of compassion, “out of the simplicity of their souls, wanted to see her off as quickly as possible.”

Remembering the words of the Holy Letter: “The righteous has mercy on the souls of thinness” (Proverbs 12:10), the saint spoke about homeless animals, as well as Lanczyug dogs. She often gave birth to them, and released the tied dogs, which the rulers did not care for, into the wild. The creatures also loved the righteous woman and spent the night in their riches. Tomsk residents often heard in the dark night, in the middle of a dog's bark, their prayer whistles: “Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”

The blessed one prayed fervently and zealously in the church, unless there were no people there. For one testimony: “I once looked into the side window of the church,” I marveled at Domna Karpovna, kneeling and praying—oh, how to pray! And the tears, the tears! So the two streams flow from her eyes.” When she had just marked her prayers, she began to act like a fool again: she moved from place to place, said her prayers, and put out the candles.

Thus, amidst her feats of foolishness, Saint Domna preserved her childhood, endured voluntary poverty, mortified sinful passions, and endured heat and cold. Until the end of her earthly life, she took from the Lord the gift of clairvoyance, through which she served as the spiritual benefit of her neighbors.

Blessed Domna passed on the name of the new Archpastor of Tomsk - Alexy.

She died on June 16, 1872 and was buried in the St. John the Baptist Monastery of Tomsk. In 1984, the family was glorified as blessed at the hour of the establishment of holy day for the Cathedral of Siberian Saints. This shrine was desecrated in the days of Radyansk, and a little later its name was buried.

Lives of the Hieromartyrs Anthimus, bishop, and with him Theophilos, deacon, martyrs Dorotheus, Mardonius, Migdonia, Peter, Indisa, Gorgonia, Zeno, Domna maiden and Euthymia

The sacred martyr is An-fim, the bishop of N-ko-mi-diy-sky, and with him other men are in the midst of nonsense - name of the not-nya in chri-sti-an with im-per-ra-to-rah Dio-kli-ti-ani (284-305) and Mak-si-mi-an (284-305). The pre-s-l-be-christian-sti-an was especially blocked after the case of feeling hot The pagans pro-vi-ni-christian in the mind's eye and showed up before them to carry the khan's w-Hundred -brush. So, in one day, on the day of the Birth of Christ, up to twenty thousand people were burned in the temple. However, these inhuman actions did not deter Christians: the stench stinks firmly until you reach your faith and accept Is it worth dying for Christ? Thus, Saints Do-ro-fey, Mar-do-niy, Mi-gdo-niy, Petro, In-dis and Gor-gony died in that hour of suffering. Some of them were completely destroyed, others were burned, for the earth, or drowned in the sea. Zi-non, warrior, for smil-ing about im-per-ra-to-ra Mak-si-mi-a-na was stoned, and then beheaded. Then, at the hands of the pagans, a great priestess, the holy virgin Domna, and St. Eu-phim, perished at the hands of the pagans, who were concerned that these holy mar- ties would be buried -be-ny. Bishop An-fim, who ruled the Ni-ko-mi-diy-church, lived in a village not far from Ni-ko-mi-diy during the funeral of his flock. From there, he addressed us until Christ with the words, in which he convinced them to firmly adhere to the holy faith and not be afraid of torment. One of my letters, sent from Dia-ko-n Fe-o-fi-lom, was re-gra-ha-but and re-da-but to im-per-ra-to-ru Mac -si-mi-a-nu. Fe-o-fil was succumbed to death and died under the torturuses, without revealing to his mu-chi-te-lyam the place-pre-bi-va-nya of the Episcopal An -fi-ma. After a dozen hours, Mak-si-mi-a-nu finally managed to find out where Saint An-thim was, and he sent for him again. The bishop himself rushed to the road. They didn’t recognize the saint, but instead called them home, treated them to dinner, and then revealed that they were the one they were looking for. They didn’t know what to do, they wanted to deprive the saint and tell them first that they didn’t know him. Bishop An-fim does not tolerate nonsense and is not satisfied with the truth. Did you believe in Christ and receive Holy Baptism? Ale, in whose presence the saint still made them viconate when-for-the-right. When Bishop An-fim appeared before the king, he ordered him to bring punishment and burdens before him. “Don’t you, king, think you’re going to clack me or-di-i-mi-kaz-ni? - asking the saint. - No, don’t frighten the one who himself will die for Christ! "Then the king of roses dressed up to torment the holy one and cut it with a sword. Bishop An-fim happily glorified God, for someone you will fight with passion († 302).

Domna Tomska (Domna Karpivna; cob XIX century - 16 (28) June 1872, Tomsk) - Tomsk holy fool. Canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1984 at the warehouse of the Cathedral of Siberian Saints.

Along with the Reviz tales, Domna Karpovna was born in the Poltava province and, having been orphaned at an early age, was taken in by her aunt. I was well-informed and familiarized myself with foreign languages. Undeterred, she left the house and began to manipulate. As a person without a passport, she was arrested for vagrancy and was sent to Tomsk, where she began acting as a fool.

Domna lived quite a quiet life, often spent the night on the street, and carried bags of ganchirs with her, which served as chains for her. At the kishens she carried a bit of glass, a stone, a cod, a thyrsa, tsukru clothes - she distributed everything to people, putting the allegorical sense in the gift. At the church during services, she moved from place to place, rearranged and extinguished the candles, and removed the items and put them in her bags. She really loved the dogs she trained, and the stinks followed her to play.

She mocked the lack of covetousness, did not accept pennies of alms, freely the bread that she distributed to the mandrians. Trying to help the prisoners, Domna, walking through the streets, loudly sang spiritual songs, for which she got married and went to the police hospital, where the shady men brought the hedgehogs that had ended up with injuries.

In this case, it is said that, having abandoned foolishness, Domna Karpovna was a small wise woman, she led the common wisdom. As if a noble woman was passing through Tomsk, she appeared to know her, and Domna spoke to her all night in a foreign way.

Domna Karpovna died in 1872 and was buried in the monastery of St. John the Baptist Monastery in Tomsk. In 1927, the monastery was closed and three years later it was liquidated, and a student town of the Tomsk Institute of Technology was created later. At the 1996th anniversary of the foundation of the institute on the site of the blessed Domna, a chapel was built. The sign on it says:

Christ in the Gospel says: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl, knowing that people are deprived of everything in order to gain it.” At the time of ardent love for their Savior and Lord, many people are deprived of the world, fame and wealth, so that they can forever be inseparably with God. For the sake of the Lord and the salvation of their souls, they recognize the many misdeeds and believe, knowing that their only treasure is the grace of the Holy Spirit. Often the Lord endows such of His creatures with miraculous gifts - healing clairvoyance, spirituality. In order to uniquely human glory, the stinks took on the internal appearance of madness, disgracing the vain pride of this rebellious world. Such a Christian feat is called Christ for the sake of foolishness. There are many who have walked this path and among them is blessed Domna Tomska.

Vaughn was born at the beginning of the 19th century in an honorable homeland. Having been orphaned at an early age, Domna lived and nursed at her aunt’s house. She received miraculous illumination and spoke freely to many people. In her youth, Domna was a smart girl, and before her there were plenty of people who wanted to marry her and were willing to take her as a friend. The righteous woman wanted to protect her childhood for the Lord’s sake. Finding out that her relatives wanted to forcefully marry her, she secretly took away her cubicle, changed into simple clothes and used a mandarin to worship the holy places. The document that confirms her specialness is quite large; she was arrested and sent to Siberia, where, having settled near the town of Tomsk, she underwent the feat of foolishness.

Domna Karpivna lived a quiet life; she often spent her days and nights simply in heaven. The clothes are made up of different sizes of knots hanging just below the bare body. Domna often went through their verses, catching her spontaneous prayer in front of people’s gazes. When pitying people in the bitter cold gave her a fur coat, she took it from time to time, and after a few years she gave it to other poor people who continued to suffer in the frost. This was how I loved my neighbors. Knowing about the hardship of being in bondage with the Tomsk police station, Domna began to walk around them and sing spiritual songs, for which she herself suffered. Having learned about this, Tomsk merchants and merchant women, who wandered around Domna, brought her pies, mlints, tea and zukor in batches. She distributed everything to the prisoners who were in jail.

Remembering the words of the Holy Letter: “Blessed is he who loves thinness,” the saint spoke about homeless creatures, as well as lance dogs. She often gave birth to them, and released the tied dogs, which the rulers did not care for, into the wild. The creatures also loved the righteous woman and spent the night in their riches. Even in the midst of the wordless, Domna Karpovna did not forget about God, and Tomsk residents often heard in the dark night, in the midst of the dog’s howl of prayer: “Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”

The blessed one prayed fervently and zealously in the church, unless there were no people there. “Once I looked into the side window of the church,” I marveled at Domna Karpovna, kneeling and praying—oh, how to pray! And the tears, the tears! So the two streams flow from behind her eyes.” When she had just marked her prayers, she began to act like a fool again: she moved from place to place, said her prayers, and put out the candles.

Thus, amidst her feats of foolishness, Saint Domna preserved her childhood, endured voluntary poverty, mortified sinful passions, and endured heat and cold. Until the end of her life, she rejected the Lord’s gift of clairvoyance, through which she served as the spiritual leader of her neighbors. She blessed her soul to the Lord on the 16th anniversary (29th anniversary of the new style) in 1872 and was buried in the St. John the Baptist Monastery of Tomska. Nearby there is a burial place, which was ruined in the post-revolutionary rocks, and is still under the same name today.

Orthodoxy

St. Domna Tomska. Icon, Tomsk town

Domna Tomska (Domna Karpovna) (earth of the 19th century - June 16, 1872, Tomsk) - blessed old woman of Tomsk. Canonized Russian Orthodox Church 1984 rock at the warehouse Cathedral of Siberian Saints.

Life

Domna Karpivna lived a quiet life; she often spent her days and nights simply in heaven. The clothes are made up of different sizes of knots hanging just below the bare body. Domna often sorted through their rosary beads, in such a manner that she became familiar with her spontaneous prayer in front of people’s gazes. When pitying people in the bitter cold gave her a fur coat, she took it for a long time, and for many years she gave it to other poor people, who continued to suffer in the cold. Bosa Domna Karpovna never walked, but she was too small (worn out) for the first time. On her head there was always a bandage, most often white, with a cross and stitches. It seems like Eminence Porfiry, who really loved Domna Karpivna, gave her his fur coat. Domna Karlivna quickly threw it over her shoulders, and within two years the fur coat was on the foal. His Eminences, having learned about this, said: “Blessed is she to read us, the wise ones. Oh, I wish we had thought of such love for our neighbor and such patience for the sake of Christ!” So in her wondrous and unexceptional ode, Domna Karpovna “languished the tedious”, so she gnawed at the flesh “with addictions and greed”, so in the rich hands of the unsatisfied clothes, the faith broke the soul.

Share her wondrous love with your neighbors. Knowing the importance of reversing the illnesses of the Tomsk heavy-duty woman, Domna began to walk behind her and sing spiritual songs, for which she herself got tired and dragged to the police station. Having learned about this, Tomsk merchants and merchant women, who wandered around Domna, brought her pies, mlintz, honey, tea and zukor in batches. She distributed everything to the prisoners who were in jail.

Portrait of St. Domna Tomskaya (unknown artist, 1910)

Remembering the words of the Holy Letter: “Blessed is he who loves thinness,” the blessed one swore about homeless creatures, as well as lance dogs. She often gave birth to them, and released the tied dogs, which the rulers did not care for, into the wild. Zdivuvannya cried out, as she found language and wisdom with the Lanczyug dogs. The creatures also loved the righteous woman and spent the night in their riches. Already in the midst of the wordless, Domna Karpovna did not forget about God, and Tomsk people often felt in the dark night, in the midst of the dog’s howling and prayerful howls: “ ...Most Holy Mother of God, save us!».

The blessed one prayed fervently and zealously in the church, unless there were no people there. “I once looked into the side window of the church,” I marveled, Domna Karpivna, standing on her knees, praying - oh, how to pray! And slozi, slizi! So the two streams flow from her eyes.” As soon as she marked the sign of her prayer, she immediately left the temple; willed to say a prayer to God on its own.

She was disgusted with the lack of covetousness, she did not accept the pittance of charity, the free bread that she served to mandarins and colts. Thus, amidst her feats of foolishness, the blessed Domna preserved her childhood, endured voluntary poverty, mortified sinful passions, and endured heat and cold. Until the end of her life, she rejected the Lord’s gift of clairvoyance, through which she served as the spiritual leader of her neighbors. They made a special effort to get away from her for the sake of harassing a lot of possible giants. In this case, they say that, having abandoned foolishness, Domna Karpovna was a little wiser among them, she led the common wisdom. As if a noble woman was passing through Tomsk, she appeared to know her, and Domna spoke to her all night in a foreign way. In the early days, Domna carried bits of skeletal, stone, cod, etc. in her casings. - she gave out all the price to people during large promotions, investing it in a special, allegorical gift.

Domna Karpovna died in 1872 and was buried in the monastery of St. John the Baptist Monastery in Tomsk. In 1920 the monastery was closed for divine services, in 1927 it was closed as a rule, and three years later the Bolsheviks liquidated the property at the monastery. Already in the 1950s, a Student Town was established in this place, established by the Moscow Vikonkom and the Moscow Office under Zabudov. In 1996, the university was founded, here in Studmistechku, an Orthodox chapel was erected at the site of the veneration of Blessed Domnya. The sign on it says:
