Shedding is a way of life

S. I. Ozhegov explains the word "unrestrained" as follows: a disembodied person is a disinterested person who is completely indifferent to money. The life of many unrequited children is described in the Lives of the Saints. Among such people, a special place is occupied by such saints as Cosmas and Damian, the great martyr Panteleimon, the holy martyr Antipas, the bishop of Pergamon and many others. And of the people who lived relatively recently, we can cite the example of St. Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea. All of them are united by one feature - the rejection of property and gratuitous help to people.

Cosma and Damian

Recklessness is a person who conquered a passion for money-loving and greed. Most of all, this virtue is manifested in Christianity. Why is this happening? A true Christian in every person sees the Savior and not only refuses to pay, but also considers it a happiness for himself to work for Christ's sake.

holy disinterested

The most famous in history are the holy bessrebrenki Cosmas and Damian, siblings, whose mother was a Christian and, having been widowed early, cared only to please the Lord. Brought up by their mother, whom the Orthodox Church ranked as a saint and remembers as reverend with her children, the brothers vowed to never take a bribe for their ministry.

The brothers died almost at the same time, their relics were laid in a cancer and buried in a place called Fermon, which was later destroyed by the Turks.

Veneration of the childless

In antiquity, and now the veneration of the unrefined was expressed by the fact that temples dedicated to them were built. Thus, four churches dedicated to Cosmas and Damian were built in Constantinople, and in Rome four churches were dedicated to the great martyr and the unmercenary Panteleimon. There were also built monasteries dedicated to the unreached brothers and the healing physician Panteleimon.

And on Mount Athos there is a Russian monastery in honor of the great martyr Panteleimon. It used to be a tradition at monasteries and churches to build special rooms for patients, which were called medical tents. Unfortunately, she is now lost.

Saint Luke

Bessrebrenik is a man of high moral principles, one of them was St. Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea. He was born in 1877 and lived a difficult life in the Soviet Union. The most amazing thing is that this person was able to combine a surgeon who practiced in clinics of the USSR and a hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church.

chinless

Saint Luke had to endure a lot from the Soviet regime: three arrests, prisons, exile, which lasted eleven years, but even there the saint continued to heal the souls and bodies of people. He had to visit Krasnoyarsk, Yeniseisk, Tyumen, Omsk, Arkhangelsk and many other cities of Russia. And everywhere, people gratefully recalled his dedication and work.

Unbroken is a state of mind that is given free of charge only to those who reject themselves and imitate our Lord Jesus Christ.
