The great saint Spiridon is revered in Russia by the no less beloved by all Nicholas the Wonderworker.
Seeking help in their needs and troubles, people often get quick help. Prayer to St. Spyridon of Trimyphus for money, a happy marriage, having children and healing do not go unanswered.
The life of the Greek miracle worker and good deeds
Spiridon was born on the small Greek island of Kerkyra (Corfu) in 270 in a wealthy family. From a youth, the future saint was surprised by his gift of perspicacity, he could cast out demons and heal the sick. At the age of 50, he was appointed bishop at Trimifunt.
He always shared what he owned. It was possible to borrow money from him, and return if desired, since Spiridon himself did not follow the debtors. He was famous for his hostility, provided shelter for the needy. Centuries have passed, and prayer requests to Spiridon Trimyfuntsky for housing have still not subsided.
During his service in Trimifent, incredible events took place. Through prayers, the drought in Cyprus, threatening hunger, ceased. Once, in a hurry to help an unjustly convicted friend, he needed to cross the other side through a seething stream that parted before the saint. There are known cases of the resurrection of the dead committed by the saints. During the service of the liturgy, one could often hear how angels responded to the cries of ectiny.
After the death of his wife, Spiridon handed out all the property, forgave the debts and went to wander around the island. He was often asked to pray for healing. Soon they noticed that even seriously ill patients recovered thanks to his help. Everything happened as in the Gospel: the relaxed began to walk, the blind began to see clearly. Avoiding fame, the saint went to graze cattle in a remote village. But even there those who suffered suffered help. His life was simple, like the psalmist David, he was a shepherd, distinguished himself by meekness, willingly received wanderers and homeless people, shared what he had. And so he lived to a very old age, dying at the age of almost 80 years.
How did the saint help people during his lifetime?
There are many cases when, after a prayer to St. Spyridon of Trimyphus for money, work, prosperity, help came at the same time. Praying for people, he always called them to repentance and correction. He knew the scripture, the gospel, lived according to the commandments of God. He was born in a wealthy family, had large sums of money and land. Once a peasant came to him for grain, told him the saint: "Go, collect as much as necessary, but you will give as much as you can." The peasant was delighted and decided to collect more, but he could not carry away the extra grain.
Often Spiridon participated in resolving monetary disputes and restoring justice.
The relics and vestments of St. Spyridon
At the request of the emperor, the relics were transferred and stored in Constantinople, and since 1456 on the Greek island of Kerkyra, where in 1589 a temple was built in honor of Spiridon. They are imperishable, the body remains soft and at a temperature of 36.6 degrees. Already at their acquisition, many received healing. But since each saint is addressed for special needs, a prayer to St. Spyridon of Trimyphuntes for money is considered especially effective.
The monks who annually change the vestments on the relics of Spyridon testify that the shoes and vestments on the saint are worn out. This indicates that the old man walks a lot in the guise of a spirit, helping people. All clothes are divided into threads called filahto, they are distributed to pilgrims visiting the temple on the island, as a shrine. Slippers were presented as a gift to the Danilovsky Monastery in Moscow, when in 2007 the priest’s right hand was brought to the capital. During the relics' stay in Moscow, about a quarter of a million people bowed to them with prayers to St. Spyridon of Trimyphuntes for housing and finances.
Holidays in Corfu
On the island, special celebrations are held on Memorial Day - December 25, as well as four more times a year in honor of the great miracles of God, during which well-preserved relics are carried out.
The Holy Saturday procession is the oldest, it was founded in memory of the miracle of saving Corfu from hunger in 1553.
Another procession with the relics is held in memory of the liberation of the inhabitants from the plague, which swept Corfu in 1629.
The celebration on the first Sunday of November was introduced in 1673, when the plague stopped for the second time.
The celebration of August 11 is dedicated to the event in 1716, when the Turks suddenly stopped the siege of Corfu and fled.
During the celebration of St. Mark's Day, Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol witnessed an incredible event that occurred during a procession with relics bypassing the city. An English traveler with atheistic glances said that the relics were probably embalmed through incisions on his back.
When the coffin with the saint approached, he slowly sat down, turned his back on the Englishman, and then lay down again. When you see such phenomena, you often do not believe your eyes. This event shocked the writer, already prone to a mystical perception of the world, to the depths of his soul, as well as all the witnesses of this event.
On such days, people turn with prayers to St. Spyridon of Trimythous for money, successful marriage, getting rid of hunger.
