Anatoly Optinsky (Zertsalov) This saint from the point of view of history is practically our contemporary, he was born in 1824. He was brought up in a simple pious family. After graduating from the seminary, the future reverend elder first got a job in the public service - in the Treasury Chamber, and dealt with finances. Having become seriously ill with consumption, and this disease was considered incurable in those days, he fervently prayed to the Lord for recovery, having vowed to take monastic vows in case of healing. His prayer was heard and, fulfilling his vow, Aleksei Moiseevich Zertsalov was tonsured with the name Anatoly in Optina Desert.

The Monk Anatoly had an unusually merciful, compassionate character. With a few words, he knew how to console a suffering soul, relieve pain, prepare for future trials and imminent death. For his holy life, the Lord rewarded him with the gift of insight and healing. About the power of the prayer of the Monk Anatoly, his teacher spoke like this: “To him such a prayer and grace was given, which is given to one out of a thousand.”

The Monk Anatoly could not survive the grief from the loss of his beloved teacher. Immediately after the death of St. Ambrose, St. Anatoly began to fade away. Humbly bearing the illness, two years later he secretly accepted the schema, and a year later (January 25/February 7, 1894) quietly reposed himself.

Anatoly Optinsky (Potapov), reverend The Monk Anatoly of Optina (Potapov) was known for his “merciful heart”, therefore he was known among the people as Anatoly the comforter. The Monk Anatoly possessed the gifts of healing and clairvoyance, which he kept secretly.

After 1917, during the persecution of the Church, the spiritual children of Elder Anatoly urged him to leave Optina, but he answered: “If they are persecuted, then I will leave the holy monastery when there is no one. The last one I will go out and pray, and I will bow to the remains of the holy elders, then I will go.”

The Chekists wanted to arrest him, but, having asked for a day to get ready, early in the morning of July 30, 1922, before coming for him, after prayers, he rested by the grace of God, Who did not allow His faithful ascetic to be abused.

Great Martyr George the Victorious, Martyrs Anatoly and Protoleon of Nicomedia and others

Holy ve-li-ko-mu-che-nick Ge-or-giy Po-be-do-no-sets, born from Kap-pa-do-kii (region in Asia Minor) , you grew up in the deep-bo-ko ve-ru-yu-schee hri-sti-an-sky family. His father mistook the mu-che-ni-che-kon-chi-nu for Christ, when Ge-or-giy was still in childhood. Mother, vla-maiden-shay name-ni-i-mi in Pa-le-sti-ne, re-re-se-li-las with her son on ro-di-nu and re-pi-ta-la him in strict blessings.

After joining the service in the Roman army, St. George, handsome, courageous and brave in the middle yah, was marked by him-pe-ra-to-rum Dio-cli-ti-a-nom (284-305) and accepted into his guard with the title of ko-mi- that - one of the seniors in-e-on-chief-no-kov.

Im-pe-ra-tor-pagan-nick, who did a lot for the revival of the Roman-mo-gu-s-stva and clearly, but no-mav- the greatest, what kind of danger poses for the language of the qi-vi-li-za-tion, the same race of the fifth Spa-si-te-la, in the last years of the rights-le-niya, especially-ben-but intensified the go-not-niya on christian. On co-ve-te se-na-ta in Ni-ko-mi-dia Dio-cli-ti-an gave all the rights-vi-te-lyam complete freedom in the race right over hri-sti-a-na-mi and promised his all-dimensional help.

Saint Ge-orgy, having learned about the decision of them-pe-ra-to-ra, distributed his inheritance to the poor, from-left-stealed to the will of ra- bov and appeared in the Senate. The masculine warrior of Christ from-the-roof-you-stepped-drank against them-pe-tor-th-for-thought-la, used-ve-gave se-christi-a-ni-nom and called on everyone to recognize the true faith in Christ: "I am a slave of Christ, my God, and , relying on God, he appeared among you according to his own will, in order to testify about Is-ty-ne. "What is Is-ti-na?" - echoed the question of Pi-la-ta one of the seniors. “Is-ti-na is Christ Himself, go-no-my you-mi,” the saint replied.

Osh-lom-len-ny daring-but-vein-noy speech of dob-lest-no-go-in-and-on, im-pe-ra-tor, someone loved and lifted -shal Ge-or-gy, tried to persuade him not to ruin his mo-lo-to-sti, glory and che-sti, but in-not-sti , according to the custom of the Roman-liang, the sacrifice to the gods. To this, after-to-the shaft of a re-shi-tel-ny answer is-by-lead-no-ka: "Nothing in this not-a-hundred-yan-noy life did not bit of my-e-th-wish-la-niya to serve God. Then, at the order of the times-anger-van-no-go im-pe-ra-to-ra oru-same-nose-tsy became-ko-drink-mi you-tal-ki-vat connection something-th Ge-or-gy from-la meeting, in order to take you away in that-no-tsu. But the sa-ma death-to-nose steel became soft and bent, as soon as the ko-drinks ka-sa-lied the bodies of the saint, and did not pri-chi-nya-la him bo-whether. In the same way, mu-che-no-ku for-bi-li-no-gi in the ko-lod-ki and gave the chest with a heavy stone.

The next day, on the do-pro-se, debilitated, but firm in spirit, St. Ge-or-giy again answered them-pe-ra-to- ru: "Sorry, you can't, mu-tea me, isn't it me, mu-chi-my-boy." Then Dio-cli-ti-an ordered to subject Ge-or-gy to the most sophisticated tortures. We-whether-to-mu-che-no-ka with-vya-for-whether to ko-le-su, under someone-eye would we arrange dos-ki from iron -mi sharp-i-mi. With the rotation of the co-le-sa, the sharp blades are re-for-whether on the female body of the saint. Sleep-cha-la stra-da-letz loudly called the Lord-on-yes, but soon for-quietly, not emitting a single moan. Dio-kli-ti-an-shil decided that the is-ty-for-e-my had already died, and, dis-divided, to remove the is-ter-zan-noe body from the co-le -sa, from-pra-vil-sya in the ka-pi-shche voz-not-sti-bla-go-s-give-sacrifice. At this moment, in a circle in the dark, thunder rumbled, and a voice was heard: "Do not be afraid, Georgiy, I am with that battle." Then a wondrous light arose, and An-gel appeared at Koh-le-sa Gos-by-day in the form of a light-nos-no-young shi. And as soon as he raised his hand to mu-che-no-ka, saying to him: "Rejoice!" - how Saint Ge-or-gy rose-became healed. When in-and-we from-whether he was in the ka-pi-shche, where he was-pe-ra-tor, the last one did not believe his eyes and thought-small that in front of him is another person or ghost. In not-up-to-skill and horror-se, looked-ri-va-lied tongues-no-ki in St. George and were convinced that the real -but pro-iso-went mi-to. Many then ve-ro-va-li in the Life of your-god-god christian. Two noble dignitaries, saints Ana-to-liy and Pro-to-le-he, secret chri-sti-a-ne, that hour openly ve-yes-whether Christ-hundred. They were immediately, without trial, by order of them-pe-ra-to-ra truncated with a sword. In-know-la is-ti-nu and Tsar-ri-tsa Alexander-Sandra, su-pr-ga Dio-cli-ti-a-na, na-ho-div-sha-ya-sya in ka-pi -more. She also tried to glorify Christ, but one of the servants of them-pe-ra-to-ra held her back and took her to the palace.

Im-pe-ra-tor is even more ozher-hundred-chil-sya. Not losing hope to break Saint Georgiy, he gave him to new terrible tortures. Dropping into a deep ditch, holy moo-che-no-ka for-sy-pa-whether not-ga-she-noy from-ve-stu. In three days he was from-to-pa-li, but they found him happy and harmless. Holy-th-th-whether in iron-sa-po-gi with races-ka-len-us-mi-nails and with-bo-I-mi-drive-whether before - no-tsy. In the morning, when they brought him in for interrogation, cheerfully, with health-ro-you-mi-no-ga-mi, he told them-pe-ra-to-ru that he liked sa-po-gi. He was beaten in-lo-vy-mi zhi-la-mi so that the body and blood mixed with the earth, but the courageous sufferer, under- strengthened-la-e-my by the power of God-she-she, remained un-pre-clone.

Deciding that sorcery can-may-be holy, he-pe-ra-tor called the sorcerer Afa-na-siya, so that he could know - to sew a holy miracle-to-effective force or poisoned him. The sorcerer presented two cups from sleep-to-bya-mi to St. Georgy, one of whom should have made him root, and the other - to kill. But the ze-lya is not action-va-li - the saint, as before, ob-li-chal the language of sue-ver-iya and glorified Is-tin-no-go God.

To the question of them-pe-ra-to-ra, what kind of si-la does mo-che-no-ku, Saint Ge-or-giy answered: "Don't think that they don't harm me mu-ki bla-go-da-rya che-lo-ve-che-my effort - I save myself only prize -va-ni-em of Christ and His power. de la, someone co-created Christ "(). Dio-cli-ti-an asked, how-to-you de-la Christ-sto-you. - "To enlighten the blind, to cleanse the wives, to give the lame walk-de-nee, the deaf-khim - hearing, from-go-to take demons , resurrect the dead."

Knowing that never before, neither the sorcerer-in-va-ing, nor the gods-before-we could resurrect the dead-in-go, im-pe-ra-tor in order to shame the hope of the saint, he ordered him before his eyes to resurrect the dead. To this, the saint said: "You is-ku-sha-eat me, but for the sake of spa-se-niya on-ro-yes, someone will see-dit de lo Khri- a hundred, my God co-creates this sign. And when St. Georgy went down to the tomb, he called out: “Lord, by the way! that You are the One God over all the earth, so that they know You, the All-mighty God-for-yes. And the earth shook, the coffin opened, the dead man came to life and came out of it.

With my own eyes, I saw the manifestation of all-mighty-power-of-the-power of Christ-howl, the people sobbed and glorified Is-tin-no-God. The sorcerer Afa-on-this, having fallen at the feet of St. George, gave Christ the All-powerful God and asked -nia for sins, committed in non-ve-de-nii. One-for-ko-braid-not-lying in non-che-stii im-pe-ra-tor is not against-zu-cute: he is in a rage at-ka-hall to deprive-head -ro-vav-she-go Afa-na-siya, as well as the resurrection-shen-no-go-lo-ve-ka, and St. George again for something -Chil in the so-ni-tsu. People, burdened-me-nen-nye not-du-ga-mi, once-we-mi-so-ba-mi began to pro-no-kat in that-no-tsu and there in a lu -cha-whether from the holy is-tse-le-nie and help. About-ra-til-sya to him in grief and a certain land-le-de-letz Gli-ke-riy, an ox fell from someone. The saint consoled him with a smile and assured him that God would restore the soul to life. Seeing the dev-ma revived-she-go-la, the earth-le-de-lets all over the city began to glorify God chri-sti-an-sko-go. By order of them-pe-ra-to-ra, Saint Gli-ke-riy was captured and beheaded.

Move-gi and chu-de-sa ve-li-ko-mu-che-no-ka Ge-or-gy cleverly increase the number of hri-sti-an, so Dio- kli-ti-an re-shil to do the last torture for-stand-up-with-the-go-with-not-sti victim-you-ido-lames. Na-cha-whether to-vit-su-di-li-shche at the ka-pi-shche Apollo-lo-na. On the last night, the holy mu-che-nick zealously prayed, and when he drowsed, he saw the deeds of My God-on-yes, Ko- the other picked him up with His hand, hugged him and kissed him. The spa-si-tel lifted-lo-lived on the head-ve-li-ko-mu-che-no-ka crown and said: "Do not be afraid, but dare and spo-do- that is, the kingdom is with me."

Na-morning-ro in su-di-li-shche im-pe-ra-tor pre-lo-lived to St. Ge-or-gy new is-py-ta-nie - he pre-la -gal to him to become his co-great-vi-te-lem. The holy mu-che-nick with a pretended go-to-no-stu from-ve-til that they-pe-ra-to-ru from sa-mo-go to-cha-la follow- do-va-lo not torment him, but show some kind of mercy, and at the same time you-ra-zil wished not-med-len-but go to ka- pi-sche Apollo-lo-na. Dio-cli-ti-an decided that mu-che-nick takes-ni-ma-et his pre-lo-s, and after-to-shaft with him in ka-pi-shche in co-pro-leader-de-nii of the suite and on-ro-yes. Everyone was waiting for Saint Georgiy to bring a sacrifice to the gods. He, going to the is-tu-ka-well, co-created the sign of the cross and turned to him, as to a living : "Do you want to accept a sacrifice from me as God?" The demon, who lived in an idol, shouted: “I am not God, and none of those like me is God. There is only one God, someone who we-of-the-serving An-ge-lovs became-we-were-from-the-steps-no-ka-mi, and, obsessed-for-we- stew, pre-flatter-eat people." "How dare you be here, when I came here, the servant of Is-tin-no-God?" - asked the saint. Noise and crying was heard, idols pa-li and co-crushed.

All-general turmoil rose up. On the holy mu-che-no-ka in a frenzy, the priests and many from the crowd, tied him up, began to beat and tre-bo-vat no-med-len-noy kaz-ni.

To the noise and cries in a hurry, shi-la, the holy tsar-ri-tsa Alexander. Breaking through the crowd, she cri-cha-la: "God Ge-or-gi-ev, help me, because You are the One All-powerful." At the feet of ve-li-ko-mu-che-no-ka, the holy tsar-ri-tsa of the glory-vi-la Christ-hundred, uni-chi-zhaya idol-catching and klo-nyav-shih-sya them.

Dio-kli-ti-an in the step-le-ni not-med-len-but you-carried the death sentence-thieve-whether-to-mu-che-no-ku Ge-or- gia and the holy tsar-ri-tse Alek-san-dre, someone-paradise without co-op-le-niya after-to-va-la after the holy Ge-or-gi- I eat for punishment. On the way, she couldn’t, and without feelings, lay against the wall. All re-shi-li that the tsa-ri-tsa passed away. St. Ge-or-giy praised God and prayed that his path would end up worthy. On the site of the execution of the saint in the hot-whose mo-lit-ve asked the Lord-for-yes, so that He would forgive the mu-chi-te-lei, not ve-give- of what they do, and led them to the knowledge of Is-ti-na. Calmly but and courageously, but the holy ve-li-ko-mu-che-nick Ge-or-giy pre-klo-nil his head under the sword. It would be 23 April 303.

In race-te-ryan-no-sti, look at your own Po-be-di-te-la pa-la-chi and judges. In the bloody agony and senseless me-ta-ni-yah, the era of language ended. All ten years have passed - and the holy equal-noap-o-so-con-stan-tin, one of the pre-em-ni-kovs of Dio-kli-ti-a-na on rome -sky pre-hundred-le, pri-ka-zhet-to-devil on the sign-me-nah Cross and covenant, for-print-chat-len-blood-view We-li-ko-mu- che-no-ka and Po-be-to-nos-tsa Ge-or-gy and a thousand not-ve-to-my mu-che-no-kov: "Sim in-be-di-shi."

Of the many miracles performed by the saints, we-whether-to-mu-che-no-one Ge-or-gi-em, -pe-chat-le-no in iko-no-gra-fi. On the ro-di-not holy, in the city-ro-de Bay-ru-te, there were a lot of ido-lo-po-clone-ni-kov. The eye of the city, near the Livan mountains, on the ho-di-elk of a large lake, in some rum lived a gro-mad serpent. You-walking from the lake, he ate people, and you couldn’t do anything, because from one of his dy-ha-niya for-ra-sorry-sya air-spirit.

According to the teachings of the demons who lived in idols, the king made such a decision: every day, should we live by lot give the snake of his children into food, and when the turn comes to him, he promised to give his only daughter. Time passed, and the king, dressing her in the best clothes, sent her to the lake. Bitterly pla-ka-la de-vush-ka, waiting for the death hour. Don’t-wait-given-but approached her on a ko-not ve-li-ko-mu-che-nick Ge-or-giy with a ko-drink in his hand. De-vush-ka upra-shi-wa-la, don’t stay with her, so as not to die. But the saint, seeing the maiden snake, befell himself with the sign of the cross and with the words "In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Du -ha "stri-mil-sya at him. Ve-li-ko-mu-che-nick Ge-or-giy pierced the mountain-tan of the snake with a ko-drink and trampled it to him. Then he ordered the de-vush-ke to tie the snake in his own way and, like a dog, lead him to the city. Live in fear, raz-be-ha-lis, but the saint left them with the words: "Don't be afraid, but put your trust in the Lord Yes, Jesus Christ and believe in Him, for it was He who sent me to you to save you. Then the saint killed the snake with a sword, and the inhabitants burned it outside the city. Twenty-five thousand people, not counting the women and children, were baptized then, and would-la-la in the church in the name of Pre-holy Bo-go-ro-di-tsy and ve-li-ko-mu-che-no-ka Ge-or-gy.

St. George could become a talented commander and surprise the world in-in-ski-mi in a move-ga-mi. He passed away when he was not even 30 years old. Hastening to unite with the institu- tion of the Heavenly, he entered the history of the Church as Po-be-to-but-sets. With this name, he glorified himself from sa-mo-go to cha-la christianity and in Holy Russia.

Elder Anatoly (Zertsalov) found himself in Optina Hermitage in 1853. He became a disciple of Saint Macarius and Ambrose of Optina. In holy baptism, the elder was named Alexei, in honor of Alexei, the man of God. Not only he himself dreamed of monasticism, but his parents also saw him as a monk, and therefore gave him a spiritual education. After graduating from the seminary, Alexey fell ill with tuberculosis, knowing that the disease is incurable, he makes a vow to the Lord that if he recovers, he will become a monk. And so it happened.
The young novice's first mentor was Elder Macarius, who first of all began to teach him the Jesus Prayer. After the death of the spiritual leader, Alexey began to take care of Ambrose Optinsokgo. Alexey was named after Anatoly only 10 years later, when he was tonsured into the mantle. Despite very poor health, the Monk Anatoly carried out a difficult obedience in the kitchen. Then Elder Ambrose blessed the saint to visit the mourners in the monastery hotel. The monk was ordained to the rank of hieromonk only in 1870. At that time he was 46 years old. A year later, he was appointed head of the skete, and from the bottom of his heart he began to take care of the brethren. Later, the monk began to minister to the Shamorda Convent. How the sisters of the monastery addressed him to their father. We went with all the temptations and sorrows.
The death of St. Ambrose greatly affected the health of the elder. The Monk Anatoly's legs began to swell, he could not walk, but this was necessary. In 1893, he accepted the schema, but only those closest to him knew about it. This was done in secret. He rested peacefully, while reading the waste. In 2000 he was glorified as a saint.

The name Anatoly is a name of Greek origin. Like many other names, the name Anatoly came into the Russian language along with the adoption of Orthodoxy. The name Anatoly comes from the Greek word "anatole" (ἀνατολή), which translates as "east". It is believed that literary the meaning of the name Anatoly is "eastern" or even "sunrise". But this is not the only version.

The second version of the meaning of the name Anatoly also refers to ancient times. This version is connected with such a geographical area as Anatolia. This is the name of a peninsula in Asia Minor (the territory of modern Turkey). Anatolian is the self-name of a resident of Anatolia in a foreign land. It is believed that it was from this self-name that the name Anatoly appeared. There is a similar version about the female name Elena. According to one version, it came from the self-name of the Greeks - Hellenes. That is what the Greeks called themselves.

The meaning of the name Anatoly (Tolik) for a child

Little Tolik is a rather complex and stubborn child. This imposes a special responsibility on parents and teachers. He's easy enough to convince if your arguments are really important. However, if he feels an attempt to manipulate himself, then you will have a hard time. Anatoly is a cheerful and mischievous boy. He grows up as a rather spoiled child, but with the necessary attention, this problem is solved. Of course this will take time. He has many friends, as he takes friendship seriously since childhood.

At school, his mischief interferes with his studies. Anatoly is endowed with good enough inclinations for study, but the lack of perseverance greatly hinders him. Sports help a lot with this problem. It is the positive direction of his irrepressible energy that will allow him to finish school with dignity. It is best for a boy to go in for sports, where there are long-term functional loads.

The health of little Anatoly cannot be called strong. He often gets sick, especially with colds. It is also worth paying attention to his nervous system. If the boy has nowhere to spend energy, then this can lead to increased nervousness of the child. The best way to cope with two problems at once will help swimming.

Characteristics of the name Anatoly (Tolik)

Adult Anatoly can be described as a strong-willed, complex and easily excitable person. His strong-willed qualities can also turn into stubbornness, which depends on his mood. The complexity of Anatoly lies in his changeable character. He is a cheerful and sociable person, but if the mood has fallen, he often begins to be rude and unnecessarily nervous. He is great at getting along with people, especially when he needs it. However, you can't call him an adaptor. It is also worth noting the strong craving for victory from the owner of the name. Anatoly hates to lose and fights to the end.

Anatoly knows how to work very well. He is a responsible worker, and his ingenuity often helps him and his colleagues. He cannot be called a workaholic, since he works only for the sake of money, and he does not need much. Tolik loves life in all its manifestations and loves to relax. If work interferes with rest, then he will want to change such work. Anatoly rarely achieves great success, although he does not worry about it at all. Anatoly is well aware of the price that many have paid for success.

In family relationships, Anatoly is rarely happy. Usually, he easily achieves reciprocity with the opposite sex, and this makes Anatoly self-confident and selfish. Often, through beautiful women, he satisfies his own ambitions. With such an initial approach, it is difficult to build a strong family. Of course, there are happy exceptions among the owners of the name, but they rather confirm the rule.

The secret of the name Anatoly
