SUMMARY:Holy Great-martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica – Свети Великомученик Димитрије Солунски
DESCRIPTION:THE HOLY GREAT-MARTYR DEMETRIUS \nThis glorious and wonderworking saint was born in Thessalonica of noble and devout parents. Implored of God by childless parents\, Demetrius was their only son\, and so was raised and educated with great care. Demetrius’s father was a commander in Thessalonica. When his father died\, Emperor Maximian appointed Demetrius as commander in his place. As he appointed him\, Maximian\, an opponent of Christ\, particularly recommended that he persecute and exterminate the Christians in Thessalonica. Demetrius not only disobeyed the emperor but openly confessed and preached the Lord Jesus Christ in the city of Thessalonica. When the emperor heard of this he became furious with Demetrius. Then\, when he was returning from battle against the Sarmatians\, Maximian stopped at Thessalonica to investigate the matter. The emperor summoned Demetrius and questioned him about his faith. Demetrius openly acknowledged his Christian Faith to the emperor and also denounced the emperor’s idolatry. Maximian cast Demetrius into prison. Knowing what was awaiting him\, Demetrius gave all his goods to his faithful servant Lupus to distribute to the poor\, and joyfully awaited his imminent suffering for Christ the Lord. An angel of God appeared to him in prison\, saying: “Peace be to you\, O sufferer of Christ; be brave and be strong!” After several days\, the emperor sent soldiers to the prison to kill Demetrius. The soldiers found the saint of God at prayer and ran him through with lances. Christians secretly took his body and honorably buried it. Healing myrrh flowed from the body of the martyr of Christ\, curing many of the sick. Soon\, a small church was built over his relics. \nAn Illyrian nobleman\, Leontius\, was afflicted with an incurable illness. He hastened\, with prayer\, to the relics of St. Demetrius and was completely healed. In thanksgiving\, Leontius erected a much larger church on the site of the old church. The saint appeared to him on two occasions. When Emperor Justinian wanted to translate the relics of the saint from Thessalonica to Constantinople\, flaming sparks sprang from the tomb and a voice was heard: “Stop\, and do not touch!” And thus\, the relics of St. Demetrius have remained for all time in Thessalonica. As the protector of Thessalonica\, St. Demetrius has appeared many times\, and on many occasions has saved Thessalonica from great calamity. His miracles are without number. The Russians considered St. Demetrius to be the protector of Siberia\, which was conquered and annexed to Russia on October 26\, 1581 A.D. \n  \nTHE COMMERATION OF THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE OF CONSTANTINOPLE \nIn the year 740 A.D.\, during the reign of Emperor Leo the Isaurian\, there was a terrifying and prolonged earthquake in Constantinople. The people considered this a punishment from God for their sins\, and prayed with great repentance to the Most-holy Theotokos and St. Demetrius\, until God showed mercy and the earthquake ceased. \n  \n+++ \n  \nСВЕТИ ВЕЛИКОМУЧЕНИК ДИМИТРИЈЕ СОЛУНСКИ ЧУДОТВОРАЦ \n  \nОвај славни и чудотворни светитељ роди се у граду Солуну од родитеља благородних и благочестивих. Измољен од Бога од бездетних родитеља Димитрије беше јединац син њихов\, због чега би с великом пажњом однегован и васпитан. Његов отац беше војвода Солунски; па кад му отац умре\, цар постави Димитрија за војводу на место оца. Поставивши га за војводу христоборни цар Максимијан нарочито му препоручи да гони и истребљује хришћане у Солуну. Но Димитрије не само не послуша цара него\, напротив\, јавно исповедаше и проповедаше Христа Господа у граду Солуну. Чувши то цар веома се огорчи на Димитрија\, па када се једном враћаше из рата против Сармата\, цар Максимијан сврати у Солун нарочито\, да ствар испита. Призва\, дакле\, цар Димитрија војводу и испитиваше га о вери. Димитрије јавно пред царем призна да је хришћанин\, и уз то још изобличи царево идолопоклонство. Разјарени цар баци Димитрија у тамницу. Знајући шта га чека Димитрије уручи све своје имање своме верноме послушнику Лупу\, да разда сиротињи\, и оде у тамницу весео\, што му предстојаше страдање за Христа Господа. У тамници му се јави ангел божји и рече му: „мир ти\, страдалче Христов\, мужај се и крепи се!“ После неколико дана посла цар војнике у тамницу да убију Димитрија. Војници нађоше светитеља Божјег на молитви\, и избодоше га копљем. Тело његово узеше хришћани потајно и сахранише чесно. Из тела страдалца Христова потече целебно миро\, којим се многи болесници излечише. Ускоро над моштима би подигнута мала црква. Неки велмож Илирски Леонтије бејаше болестан од неизлечиве болести. Он притече моштима св. Димитрија с молитвом\, и би потпуно исцељен. Из благодарности подиже Леонтије много већу цркву на место старе. Светитељ му се јави у два маха. Када цар Јустинијан хтеде пренети мошти светитељеве из Солуна у Цариград\, искочише пламене искре од гроба и чу се глас: „станите\, и не дирајте!“ И тако мошти св. Димитрија осташе заувек у Солуну. Као заштитник Солуна св. Димитрије много се пута јављао и много пута спасао Солун од велике беде. Чудесима његовим броја нема. Св. Димитрија сматрају Руси покровитељем Сибира\, који је освојен и Русији присвојен 26. октобра 1581. год. \n  \nСПОМЕН ВЕЛИКОГ ЗЕМЉОТРЕСА \n  \nУ време цара Лава Исаврјанина би страховит и дуготрајан земљотрес у Цариграду 740. год. Народ схвати то као казну Божју за грехе\, и мољаше се Пресветој Богородици и св. Димитрију с великим покајањем\, док се Бог не смилова и земљотрес не преста.
