Cum suntem in prag de eRazboi mondial ,ca un facut astazi sarbatorim Sfantul mucenic Gheorghe !



Sfantul Mucenic Gheorghe s-a nascut in Capadocia, intr-o familie crestina, si a trait in timpul domniei imparatului Diocletian. Inca de tanar ramane fara tatal sau, care a murit marturisind credinta crestina. Impreuna cu mama sa, se muta in Palestina. Urmeaza cariera militara, ajungand comandant in armata imparatului Diocletian. In anul 303, cand imparatul a inceput persecutiile impotriva crestinilor, Sfantul Gheorghe a marturisit chiar inaintea lui Diocletian credinta in Hristos.

Dupa ce a fost supus la numeroase chinuri, a fost condamnat la moarte prin decapitare in anul 303, in ziua de 23 aprilie. Tot acum, au primit moarte muceniceasca Glicherie, Valeriu, Donat, Terin si Alexandra, sotia imparatului Diocletian, care trecusera la credinta crestina, dupa ce, pentru rugaciunile Sfantului Gheorghe, Dumnezeu a inviat un mort. Si dupa moarte, sfantul s-a aratat facator de minuni fiind grabnic ajutator celor ce il cheama in rugaciuni.
maginea sfantului a fost intotdeauna asociata cu vitejia nemarginita si credinta in biserica crestina pana la sacrificiu suprem. Sfantul Gheorghe este asociat cu omorarea balaurului. Se povesteste cum un balaur imens a aparut langa orasul Selena din Libia. Locuitorii trebuiau sa-i ofere zilnic oi pentru a-i potoli foamea, iar cand nu au mai avut oi, balaurul a cerut-o pe fata imparatului.Atunci a aparut un viteaz crestin care s-a oferit sa rapuna balaurul. Oamenii au aflat ulterior ca numele viteazului era Gheorghe.


Evlavia crestinilor pentru Sfantul Mucenic Gheorghe se vede si astazi in numarul mare de biserici si manastiri care ii sunt inchinate, precum si prin numarul insemnat de oameni care ii poarta numele


LA MULTI ANI CELOR CARE ASTAZI SARBATORESC ZIUA NUMELUI !!!.

Saint George !

Every year, on the 23rd of April, Romanian people celebrate Sfantul Gheorghe or St. George Day. He is one of the most important saints in the Orthodox calendar.
In our region—Bucovina—people who live in villages cut small square pieces of fresh ground, stick willow branches into it and put them at the entrance. They are thought to be a spring symbol.
Few people know the meaning of this tradition. Not even the old ones can say why they do that, but they think it is the right thing to do on St. George Day. Some say that this tradition is not a Christian one and it would not be surprising because lots of pagan elements here have been incorporated into the Christian faith.

According to the Christian tradition, St. George was born in nowadays Turkey, in Cappadocia, to a Christian family. When Emperor Diocletian began his persecution of the Church, he was arrested and suffered great torture for boldly confessing belief in Jesus Christ. He was beheaded in 303 A.D.
Popular tradition associates St. George with the killing of the dragon. That is why in many Orthodox icons he is pictured on a horse cutting off the head of a dragon.

Lots of men in Romania bear the name Gheorghe as a sign of respect for this saint. Also lots of churches in Romania are named after this saint.


HAPPY NAME DAY TO ALL THAT TODAY CELEBRATE HIS NAME !
