PRAYER
TO KING-MARTYR NICHOLAS II

Lord God Almighty! We bow our necks and our hearts and bow our knees before Your Servant, humiliated, slandered and tortured with the silent consent of our fathers, by the Great Martyr Emperor Nicholas and those like him who suffered.
We repent, as the people of Kiev once did before Prince Igor, who was tortured by them, like the people of Vladimir before the Grand Duke Andrei Bogolyubsky, whom they killed, and we ask boldly: for the blood of Your saints, grant us repentance, free our Fatherland from the troubles and misfortunes that have befallen us, revive the Russian land, in the fall with Your glory and grant her the Orthodox Tsar, so that the prophecies of Your saints may come true and may the Russian people sing glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

TO THE ROYAL MARTYRS, GIVEN IN A MIRACULOUS WAY
Remember, Lord, King David and all his meekness. Remember, Lord, King Solomon and all his wisdom. Remember, Lord, the murdered Royal Family and through their holy prayers I will have mercy on us sinners.

Your people are lost, overwhelmed by passions, consumed by enmity and addiction, willingly given in to the temptation of many, having betrayed You and rejected Your holy faith, You, O Most Merciful Lord, forgive and have mercy. By Thy mercy visit him, heal the exhaustion of his spirit, loosen the seduction of deceptions, weaken the present temptations. And by Thy grace-filled power protect and preserve us all, and grant to our hearts the sense of the truth.

PRAYER
HOLY NEW MARTYR AND CONFESSOR OF RUSSIAN

Holy New Martyr and Confessor to the Russian Church, hear our fervent prayer! We know, as if nothing else from you, even as youths, we listened to the ancient passion-bearers, thinking in our hearts how kind and praiseworthy it is to imitate such, from whom neither torment nor death separated them from the love of God. It is good for you, for you have followed the natural faith and patience of those you have heard about and loved. And since at any time it is possible that an unexpected test may come upon us, ask from the Lord for the gift of courage, which is so useful in the life of mankind. Having sanctified all the ends of our fatherland through your suffering, as common prayer books for all of us, pray to God to deliver His people from a yoke that is more terrible than any other. And may we and our entire family be forgiven the sin that weighs heavily on the Russian people: the murder of the Tsar, the anointed of God, the saints and shepherds with their flock, and the suffering of confessors, and the desecration of our shrines. May the schisms in our church be abolished, may they all be one, and may the Lord bring His workers into the harvest, may the church not become destitute of good shepherds, who have the power to enlighten such a great multitude of people who have not been taught the faith or have turned away from the faith with the light of the true faith. You are unworthy of God’s mercy, but rather suffer for your sake, may Christ our God be merciful and have mercy on all of us who call on you for help. Let us always offer Him, our Savior, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, contrition for sins and thanksgiving for everything, glorifying Him forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Tsar Nicholas II for help in illnesses

“Oh, holy, passion-bearing Tsar Martyr Nicholas, you are the child-loving father of your people, an all-forgiving and merciful heart from us, many sinners, not turning away, covering us with the love of Christ until the last drop of your royal blood. By your representation before the Lord we are preserved even to this day. We know that you hear us in our sorrows and illnesses, and through your intercession the Heavenly King will hear us and grant forgiveness for our many sins. O prayer book for the Russian state, you are truly an image of honor for her and her faithful servants. Ask the Lord for our husbands, fathers and children the honor of renewal and in everyday work courage and complacent patience, for the Orthodox people to stand in faith and for all of us to have spiritual purity. By your meekness of Christ, convert our hardened hearts, our children ( our child), those who are mired in passions and suffering from spiritual blindness, seek deliverance from corrupting evils: wine drinking, drug addiction, gambling hobbies and all depravity of the soul and body, so that the mind and conscience may be sobered by grace from above.

Help us ( names), O, our wondrous Tsar Martyr Saint Nicholas, may our race be cleansed of sins and preserved in a godly life until the second coming of our Savior Jesus Christ, to Him be glory, honor and worship, always now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen."

Prayer to the Passion-Bearer Tsar Nicholas for help in his studies

“O holy passion-bearer to Tsar Nicholas the Martyr! The Lord has chosen you as His anointed one, to be merciful and right to judge your people and to be the guardian of the Orthodox Church. For this reason, with the fear of God, you performed royal service and cared for souls. The Lord, testing you like Job the Long-Suffering, allows you reproach, bitter sorrow, betrayal, betrayal, alienation of your neighbors and abandonment of the earthly kingdom in mental anguish. All this for the good of Russia, as her faithful son, having endured, and as a true servant of Christ, receiving a martyr's death, you have reached the Heavenly Kingdom, where you enjoy the Highest glory at the Throne of all the Tsar, together with your holy wife Queen Alexandra and your royal children Alexy, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. Now, having great boldness in Christ the King, pray that the Lord will forgive the sin of the apostasy of our people and grant forgiveness of sins and instruct us in all virtues, so that we may acquire humility, meekness and love and be made worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, where the new martyrs and all the saints are together. Russian confessors let us glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

Prayer to Tsar Nicholas II for help in sorrows

“O holy new martyr, passion-bearer Tsar Nicholas, you were chosen and anointed by the Lord, for you have mercifully and the right to judge your people and be the guardian of the Orthodox Power, and you have carried out your royal service and care for souls with the fear of God. Testing you, like gold in a crucible, with bitter sorrow, like Job the Long-Suffering, the Lord allow you to follow - deprivation of the royal throne and martyrdom. You have endured all this meekly and resignedly, as a true servant of Christ, and for this reason you now enjoy the highest glory at the Throne of all the King, together with all the holy martyrs. But we, even though we are unworthy, for the sake of our multitude of sins, we pray to you, the glorious Passion-Bearing Tsar Nicholas, beseech the Lord for us, may He not turn away His face to the end, may our people not deprive us of His chosenness, but may He give us the understanding of salvation, in let us rise from the depths of our fall. You, holy Tsar Nicholas, had great boldness, for you shed your blood for your people and laid down your soul not only for your friends, but also for your enemies, and for this reason you stand now in the uneven light of the Tsar of glory, as His faithful servant. And so be our intercessor and protector and incline the justice of God to mercy, may the Lord not destroy us completely, but may He forgive us all, and mercifully have mercy, and save the holy Russian land, and protect its people from all troubles and misfortunes. O our holy and glorious Passion-Bearing Tsar Nicholas, through your intercession and the prayers of your Holy Family, the innocently murdered Queen Alexandra, Tsarevich Alexy, Princess Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, may the Lord grant us forgiveness of sins and instruct us in every virtue, so that we may acquire humility , meekness and love, which you, holy martyrs, showed to nature. And may faith and piety be revived in our people, and may the Lord again grant us the pious Autocrat to restore the throne of the Orthodox Tsars in the Russian land. May we glorify God, and serve Him faithfully until the end of time on earth, and may we be worthy of His kingdom in heaven, where together with you and with all the new martyrs and Confessors of Russia, and with all the saints, we will sing the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen."

Prayer to Tsar-Martyr Nicholas 2 for help in persecution and imprisonment

“O holy great Russian Tsar and passion-bearer Nicholas! Listen to the voice of our prayer and lift up to the Throne of the all-seeing Lord the groaning and sighing of the Russian people, once chosen and blessed by God, but now fallen and departed from God. Resolve the perjury that hitherto weighs heavily on the Russian people. We have sinned grievously by apostasy from the Heavenly King, leaving the Orthodox faith to be trampled upon by the wicked, breaking the conciliar oath and not forbidding the murder of yours, your family and your faithful servants.

Not because we obeyed the commandment of the Lord: “Touch not my anointed,” but to David who said: “Whoever stretches out his hand against the Lord’s Anointed, will not the Lord strike him?” And now, worthy of our deeds, we are acceptable, for even to this day the sin of shedding the royal blood weighs on us.

To this day our holy places are being desecrated. Fornication and lawlessness do not diminish from us. Our children are given over to reproach. Innocent blood cries to heaven, shed every hour in our land.

But see the tears and contrition of our hearts, we repent, just as the people of Kiev once did before Prince Igor, who was martyred by them; like the people of Vladimir before Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, who was killed by them, we ask: pray to the Lord, may he not turn away from us completely, may he not deprive the Russian people of His great chosenness, but may he give us the wisdom of salvation, so that we can rise from the depths of this fall.

Imashi, Tsar Nicholas, have great boldness, for you shed your blood for your people, and you laid down your soul not only for your friends, but also for your enemies. For this reason, stand now in the Everlasting Light of the King of Glory, as His faithful servant. Be our intercessor, protector, and protector. Do not turn away from us, and do not leave us to be trampled underfoot by the wicked. Grant us the strength to repent, and incline God’s justice to mercy, so that the Lord will not destroy us completely, but may He forgive us all and mercifully have mercy on us, and save the Russian land and its people. May our Fatherland be delivered from the troubles and misfortunes that have befallen us, may it revive faith and piety, and may it restore the throne of the Orthodox Kings, so that the prophecies of the saints of God may come true. And may the Russian people throughout the entire universe glorify the all-praised name of the Lord and serve Him faithfully until the end of the age, singing the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen."

A short prayer to the Tsar-Redeemer Nicholas II

“Lord, our God, Great and Most Merciful! In the tenderness of our hearts, we humbly pray to You: preserve under the shelter of Your goodness from all evil circumstances the Blessed Sovereign and our Father, the Romanov family chosen by You (whose name You, Lord, weigh). Protect Him on all His paths with Your holy angels, so that nothing can be done by the enemy against Him, and the son of iniquity will not try to embitter Him: fill Him with longness of days and strength of strength. May He accomplish everything for Your glory and for the good of His people. We, rejoicing in Your All-Good Providence for Him, will bless and glorify Your All-Holy Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

Tsar Nicholas 2 prayer

Blessed are you, Lord God of our Father, and praised and glorified is your name forever, for you are righteous in all things that you have done for us, and all your deeds are true and your ways are right, and all your judgments are true, and you have created true destinies in all , which You brought upon us, as if we had sinned and were lawless, having departed from You, and sinned in all things, and disobeyed Your commandments, we were less observant, less co-creators, as You commanded us, that it would be good for us, and You delivered us into the hands of lawless enemies , vile - apostates, an unrighteous and more crafty man than all the earth.

And now we cannot open our mouths, the shame and reproach of Thy servant and those who honor Thee will come. Do not betray us to the end of Your name and do not destroy Your covenant, and do not forsake Your mercy from us, for, Master, we have lost our tongues more than all others and we are humble throughout the whole earth today, sin for our sake and to bear at this time the leader, the prophet and the leader. And now we follow with all our hearts and fear You and seek Your face, do not disgrace us, but do with us according to Your meekness, and according to the multitude of Your mercy, and prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all Your saints, save us according to Your miracles, and give the glory of Thy name, O Lord, and let all who are wicked as Thy servant be put to shame, and let them be ashamed of all power and let their strength be crushed, and let all understand that Thou art our God, one and glorious throughout the whole universe. Amen.

We repent, as the people of Kiev once did before Prince Igor, who was tortured by them, like the people of Vladimir before the Grand Duke Andrei Bogolyubsky, whom they killed, and we ask boldly: for the blood of Your saints, grant us repentance, free our Fatherland from the troubles and misfortunes that have befallen us, revive the Russian land, in the fall with Your glory and grant her the Orthodox Tsar, so that the prophecies of Your saints may come true and may the Russian people sing glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

TO THE ROYAL MARTYRS, GIVEN IN A MIRACULOUS WAY

Remember, Lord, King David and all his meekness. Remember, Lord, King Solomon and all his wisdom. Remember, Lord, the murdered Royal Family and through their holy prayers I will have mercy on us sinners.

HOLY NEW MARTYR AND CONFESSOR OF RUSSIAN

TO TSAR-MARTYR NICHOLAS THE SECOND

TO THE GREAT MARTYR GREAT TSAREVICH ALEXIY

O holy passion-bearer Tsarevich Alexy! O new Tsarevich Demetrius, like this one, who encloses his own House! O Gabriel of Bialystok and the other child, the accuser of the Jews, worthy! O Artemy the youth, the next one neglected by the people! We are known as a militia army, surrounded by rebels, who were quickly driven out of the impenetrable swamp by you. These same persecutions, to the priest, with the boldness of the Tishbite like Elijah, stumbled to pray for salvation, not being glorified by people. Behold, now see your kingdom, about which you spoke: When I am king, there will be no lies around me - today the kingdom of the father of lies appears, for which you have not yet reigned in the hearts of your people. For yourself, O prince, come and stand here with us, give us chastity, even if we do not lead: you are a great doctor, leading us more than we need to our salvation. We know your compassion, we know your meekness, we know your love for your people: help your people in their long-suffering days, do not allow those who love to be abandoned before Holy Rus', but like yourself, take boldness for our salvation. Amen.

GREAT MARTYR Blessed QUEEN ALEXANDRA NOVA

O holy martyr Queen Alexandro, O who loved the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your thoughts! We know that as if you were a child, I exist through the suffering of Christ crowning your deceased mother: pray for our children, deprived of mothers, abandoned by mothers, killed by mothers. We know that for the sake of the Heavenly Bridegroom you were ready to reject the royal bridegroom: pray for our young women and boys, so that they will not choose bestial food, purchased at the cost of their souls. We know that you were hated by your neighbors from the wedding crown: pray for the young wives entering their husbands’ houses. Because your children were disliked, until an heir was born: pray for the women who are in long-term illness. We, as a child of prayer, a child of your faith, a son and heir, appeared incurably ill: pray not to be an abandoned and sick child of your country, O chosen crusader of Christ through all your life, who loved your people more than herself: who desired to die rather than forsake your country: having shared the crown of martyrdom with the anointed of God: pray to your God, may we not depart from Him at the hour of our visit, may we remain faithful to Christ each in our place, may we enter into the Kingdom where you are the ray of the sun of the Sun of Truth, Christ our God, in Trinity Slavimago, Amen.

About the appearance of the holy Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II

“What is the secret of the power of the Emperor’s prayer? In faith in the Lord and in love for enemies..."

About the miraculous apparitions of the holy Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II and his Royal Family and miracles through prayers to the holy Royal Martyrs

We are publishing the letter we received, about the appearance of St. Nicholas II r.B. Nina (Nelly) Butyrina ()

“The vision took place on August 26, 2007 (the 40th day of the murder of the Royal Family). Assumption Fast. Don’t be judgmental, I’ll tell you subtleties that don’t matter to the matter, but will add nuances.

I am the same artist who and her husband prepared the miraculous work for publication.

(bleeding) icon of the Holy Royal Martyrs, for distribution and publication of brochures about miracles in 1998. Moreover, at that time I was not yet baptized; my husband had been baptized since childhood. We personally saw all the miracles (bad word) that happened to this icon. After this work, I was baptized. We had not had children before for 12 years. In 2000, a son was born.

I am not an exalted, but even a somewhat cynical person. I take communion regularly. My confessor told me to compose a written note outlining the vision, so, thank God, everything was preserved, and I can testify to what I saw, no matter how it was presented. I'll try to convey the content more accurately.

On Monday morning (at about 8 o'clock in the morning) the holy Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II unexpectedly appeared to me. He appeared in the air in military uniform and, looking at me, said:

- It is necessary to anathematize the murderers and their entire family who participated in the murder of the Royal Family. It is important to anathematize their entire family, because the seed of regicide will manifest itself again and change the fate of Russia and the Tsar. (He emphasized in his voice the words “genus” and “seed”). Then there will be a Tsar in Russia.

Thoughts flashed through my head: why did the Martyr Tsar appear today, and why should the anathema be anathematized now, and not earlier, so many years have passed? And I heard the answer:

- Today is the fortieth day of the murder of the Royal Family. The anathema must be proclaimed precisely now, when the Russian Orthodox Church has been reunited - existing in Russia and in diaspora. Pass it on. - And disappeared.

He didn’t say who to tell it to. I counted, it really was the 40th day. As far as I understood from the vision, or immediately after it (I won’t say for sure), the descendant of the regicide will destroy the future Orthodox Tsar.

Here I am knocking on everyone's door. On August 30, I wrote a slightly chaotic letter to Bishop Diomede, still under the impression of the vision. The Bishop then and now called for a Local Council. That's why I turned to him. Yes, at the Council of 1917-18. anathema was proclaimed, but only to the performers themselves and somehow vaguely, without names. And as it now turns out, the remains of Yurovsky (who converted to Protestantism) and his wife rest in an Orthodox church. What kind of anathema is that?

Information about the descendants of the murderers of the Royal Family is classified; many changed their surnames to pseudonyms back in the 20s. As a rule, everyone headed or was deputy chairman of the Cheka in the regions, especially in Ukraine.

I can only say about two Yakovlevs, one of whom does not appear in the case: Deputy Chairman of the Kyiv Cheka (Blustein-Sorin) 1919, former officer of the tsarist army, Vladimir Ivanovich Yakovlev (father of the famous journalist Yegor Yakovlev, grandson Vladimir Yakovlev - former owner of Kommersant) , who personally signed a decree on the execution of his own father-priest, who was involved in executions of the white movement (in 1 month, 17,000 people with infants). Yakovlev’s name was practically erased from the lists of direct murderers of the Royal Family.

But, having asked the question of what a white officer had to do in order to become the deputy chairman of the Cheka Sorin in 1919, who participated in the murder of the Royal Family, in order to survive both 1927-29 and 1936-39, and die his death as an honorary security officer, it becomes clear if At the same time, take into account the mention of another Yakovlev V.V.: “On April 22, Commissar Yakovlev V.V. arrived from Moscow to Tobolsk with emergency powers. His mandate was signed by Lenin and Sverdlov, and in addition, he was carrying a letter from Sverdlov dated April 9, 1918. to the Ural Council of Deputies: “Dear comrades! Today, via direct wire, I warned you about the visit of the intercessor (?!) Comrade Yakovlev. We instructed him to transport Nikolai to the Urals. Our opinion: settle him in Yekaterinburg for now. Decide for yourself whether to place it in a prison or adapt it to some mansion. Do not take anyone from Yekaterinburg anywhere without our direct instructions. Yakovlev’s task is to deliver Nikolai to Yekaterinburg alive and hand him over to either Chairman Beloborodov or Goloshchekin. Yakovlev was given the most precise and detailed instructions. Do whatever is necessary. Talk to Yakovlev about the details. From comrade priv. Ya. Sverdlov."

Yurovsky’s descendants, as far as I know, lived on Nikolina Gora on Rublyovka. Access to the archives, unfortunately, is classified. It’s unlikely that anyone will be allowed in there. I don’t know how to look for them, but according to the Orthodox rite we can anathematize, for the Lord knows their names, apparently, only our will is needed.

I firmly believe that the murder of the Royal Family was ritual, and the Tsar and Family should be glorified as Martyrs, but not passion-bearers. And an attempt to convince us that the Royal Family suffered from their own, i.e. Orthodox - this is a substitution in the minds of the people. I hope I helped you, if you need any clarification, please write. Best regards, Nina."

Editor's note: We contacted R.B. Nina and clarified this information. If anyone can supplement it with information about the descendants of the murderers of the Royal Family, write to us.

Help us, Lord!

Vision of the Sacrificial Cup

The vision that sailor Silaev had from the cruiser Almaz. This vision is described in the book of Archimandrite Panteleimon “Life, exploits, miracles and prophecies of our holy righteous father John of Kronstadt the Wonderworker.”

“On the very first night after communion I had a terrible dream. I came out into a huge clearing, which has no end, a light brighter than the sun pours from above, which I can’t look at, but this light does not reach the ground, and it seems that it is all shrouded in either fog or smoke. Suddenly a singing was heard in the heavens, so harmonious and touching: “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us!” It was repeated several times, and then the whole clearing was filled with people in some special attire. Ahead of everyone is our Sovereign Martyr in the Royal purple and crown, holding in his hands a cup filled to the brim with blood. On the right next to him is a beautiful youth, the Heir Tsarevich, in a uniform, also with a cup of blood in his hands, and behind them, on his knees, is the entire tortured Royal Family in white robes, and everyone has a cup of blood in their hands. In front of the Sovereign and Heir, on his knees, raising his hands to the heavenly radiance, stands and

fervently prays about. John of Kronstadt, turning to the Lord God, as if he sees him, for Russia, mired in evil spirits. This prayer made me sweat. “Master All-Holy, see this innocent blood, hear the groans of Your faithful children, who did not destroy Your talent, and do according to Your great mercy to Your chosen people who have now fallen! Do not deprive him of Your holy chosenness, but restore to him the mind of salvation, stolen from him in his simplicity by the wise of this age, so that, rising from the depths of the fall and soaring on spiritual wings to the heights, they will glorify Your most holy name in the universe. The faithful martyrs pray to Thee, sacrificing their blood to Thee. Accept it to cleanse the iniquities of Your people, free and unwilling, forgive and have mercy.” After this, the Emperor raises the cup of blood and says: “Sovereign, King of kings and Lord of lords! Accept the blood of me and my family to cleanse all the voluntary and involuntary sins of my people, entrusted to me by You, and raise them from the depths of their current fall. I know Your justice, but also the boundless mercy of Your mercy. Forgive me and have mercy on me, and save Russia.”

Behind him, extending his cup upward, in a child's voice

the pure youth Tsarevich spoke: “God, look upon your perishing people and extend to them the hand of deliverance. All-Merciful God, accept my pure blood for the salvation of innocent children who are being corrupted and perishing on our earth, and accept my tears for them.”. And the boy began to sob, spilling his blood from the cup onto the ground. And suddenly the whole multitude of people, kneeling down and raising their bowls to heaven, began to pray in one voice: “God, righteous Judge, but kind and merciful Father, accept our blood to wash away all the defilements committed on our earth, both in reason and in unreason, for how can a person do unreasonable things in the mind of existence! And through the prayers of Your saints, who have shone in our land with Your mercy, return to Your chosen people, who have fallen into Satan’s snares, the mind of salvation, so that they may tear apart these destructive snares. Do not turn away from him completely and do not deprive him of Your great chosenness, so that, having risen from the depths of his fall, he will glorify Your magnificent name throughout the entire universe until the end of centuries.” And again in the sky, more touchingly than before, the singing of “Holy God” was heard. I feel like goosebumps are running down my spine, but I can’t wake up. And I hear, finally, the solemn singing of “Glorious be glorified” swept across the entire sky, incessantly rolling from one end of the sky to the other. The clearing instantly became empty and seemed completely different. I see many churches, and such a beautiful ringing of bells is heard, my soul rejoices. Comes up to me o. John of Kronstadt and says: “God's sun has risen over Russia again. Look how it plays and rejoices! Now is the great Easter in Rus', where Christ has risen. Now all the powers of heaven rejoice, and after your repentance you have labored from the ninth hour, you will receive your reward from God.” Soon after the 1917 revolution Metropolitan Macarius of Moscow, lawlessly removed from the pulpit by the Provisional Government, a man truly “like one of the ancients,” had a vision.

“I see,” he says, “a field, the Savior is walking along the path. I follow Him, and I keep repeating: “Lord, I am following You!” - And He, turning to me, still answers: “Follow Me!” Finally, we came to a huge arch decorated with flowers. On the threshold of the arch, the Savior turned to me and again said: “Follow Me!” and entered a wonderful garden, and I remained on the threshold and woke up. Having soon fallen asleep, I see myself standing in the same arch, and behind it with the Savior stands Sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich. The Savior says to the Emperor: “You see, there are two bowls in My hands. This one is bitter for your people, and the other is sweet for you.” The Emperor falls to his knees and prays for a long time to the Lord to let him drink the bitter cup instead of his people. The Lord did not agree for a long time, but the Emperor kept praying relentlessly. Then the Savior took out a large hot coal from the bitter cup and placed it on the Emperor’s palm. The Emperor began to transfer coal from palm to palm and at the same time his body began to become enlightened until he became all as bright as a bright spirit. With this I woke up again. Having fallen asleep for the second time, I see a huge field covered with flowers. The Emperor stands in the middle of the field, surrounded by many people, and with his own hands distributes manna to them. An invisible voice at this time says: “The Emperor took the guilt of the Russian people upon himself, and the Russian people are forgiven.”

What is the secret of the power of the Emperor’s prayer? In faith in the Lord and in love for enemies. Was it not for this faith that the Son of God promised the power of prayer that could move mountains? And today we reflect again and again on the last reminder of the holy King: “The evil that is in the world will be even stronger, but it is not evil that will win, but love.”

Soon after the glorification of St. by the Russian Orthodox Church. One participant in this celebration of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia saw the Emperor in great heavenly glory in a dream vision. He was told that in God's Heaven the Tsar stands first after Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, the baptizer and enlightener of the entire Russian people. It was also said that the Sovereign still loves Russia and cares about its good and the good of all those who do good for their Motherland, that the Empress and Daughters provide assistance to the needy, the grieving and the suffering in the same way as they did before this was done to the world during the First World War.

Caesar Golodny, son of the famous poet, singer of the revolution Mikhail Golodny, a non-believer, an extremely rational man, told me in the early 60s that during the war, when he was 14 years old, he and the boys extinguished incendiary bombs on the roofs. And one day in one of the houses in the attic on them

a wooden box fell from somewhere above. It cracked open and they saw a large portrait of Nicholas II in a gilded frame. The boys were seized by a horror they themselves did not understand. They stood spellbound and looked at the portrait. What were they afraid of? Touching something forbidden, incredible in the middle of Soviet reality? Back then, under Stalin, they could have been accused of concealing a portrait and given a huge prison sentence. Then go prove something else. Already in one fact that they saw was, from the point of view of the authorities, a crime, a clear anti-Soviet agitation. “No,” said Caesar, “it was a completely different kind of fear. At this time the funerals were already underway, one after another.” And he began to name the names of young guys, a little older than him, from his yard who were killed in the war. “What is the connection between the war and the royal portrait?” - I asked. - “That’s the point, that here in the attic, something happened that, like lightning, enlightened the consciousness: like in some strange kaleidoscope, the Tsar and this war, and our whole life united into one, - he said. - Looking at the Tsar’s face, I suddenly, piercingly, clearly understood that retribution exists . We ran away, leaving the portrait in the attic, and never discussed this event among ourselves. But what was revealed to me then remained in my soul forever.”

A miracle is not only an obvious grace, not only an outwardly out-of-the-ordinary event, it is an encounter that remains for a lifetime. This is something that affects the soul in such a way that something in the soul changes forever. The truth is revealed, which is above all talk and words, and this is done as evidence. The veil of lies has been pulled back, and the secret has become clear. Although in the Soviet years everything was done so that nothing would remind of the personality of the Tsar, and his image appeared only in caricature, but in the lives of many people he continued to remind of himself. For some, it was enough to look at the photographs to understand something.

A parishioner of our church, Anna G., says that when she was 10 years old (these were the Stalin years), she first saw photographs of the Tsar and his Family in the pre-revolutionary magazine “Niva”. " The Tsar’s face struck me because it seemed very familiar and, of course, with its amazing good looks and nobility. This is really a real King, I thought. I was awed by the photographs of his wife and children. I realized that these were people of the highest order, who had no equal among those around me. There was a look on their faces as if they were now ready to take part in your life. Since then, I have never accepted any slander against the Royal Family. And one thought persistently haunted me: how could such a family be shot?”

Miracle - recognition. Like an infant, growing out of infancy, he recognizes his mother from all the countless faces, just as a betrothed is recognized in marriage: “I recognized him,” “He recognized me.” This recognition is a great happiness, whether in terms of personal life, or in terms of the fate of the country. One woman told how she prayed as a child that she would be given knowledge of what happened in 1917. Her parents told her that the whole point was that the Bolsheviks were honest and dishonest. And then she had a detailed dream in which the truth was revealed. In this sense, the photograph of the Tsar was like a dream. God rewards those who hunger and thirst for the truth, and God does not love those who hide from the truth by deceiving themselves. (“We don’t, we don’t need to know this,” they say with fear). And the Supreme Being, the higher world responds to the desire for truth, meets it halfway, so that even some seasoned dissident Bukovsky discovers that it is not a matter of politics. The soul initially knows everything, because by nature it is a Christian, everything just doesn’t happen right away. In Stalin's time, one third-grader girl in Moscow called her friend to her home, as if inviting her to

secret, forbidden: “Come on, I’ll show you something.” She had hidden an image of the Savior, an illustration from the Doré Bible. “I saw,” said a guest of this girl many years later, “something very familiar, something that I always knew and that I just had to remember.” "Who is he?" - I asked her. “He’s purely Russian,” the girl answered confidently. And in this infinitely naive answer there was in fact the highest theology: in every person and in every nation only that which belongs to Christ is authentic.

Isn't this story consistent with what happened with the Tsar's photograph? When I talked with Anna G. about her memory, she said: “I don’t take photographs very well, but here the face really struck me. It is both significant and heartfelt. It was clear that man was appointed by God to be the King and that everyone needed him. And he had a special mark of holiness. I didn’t dare say that word then, but that’s exactly how I felt. In any case, it played a role in my rejection of Sovietism, and then helped me understand a lot on the path to faith.”

I listened to her and thought that no matter how anyone looked at the Tsar, it was impossible for anyone to deny that his face was always filled with genuine significance. And also that the icon of the Tsar in the Church Abroad is essentially just a photograph with a halo, and some photographs of the Royal Martyrs are perceived as icons. It is no coincidence that in many Orthodox homes they hang together with icons.

Dear Commission of the Holy Synod for the canonization of the Royal Family of Nicholas II!

With love in the Lord, Evgenia Mikhailova, mathematics teacher, and Lyubov Mironova, employee of the Russian Museum.” Silver Ruble

In the midst of the darkness of the sorrows that have fallen upon us, let us pray to two Saint Nicholas the Pleasant - Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, the ancient patron of the Russian land, and the Holy Passion-Bearer Tsar Nicholas, so that through their intercession the Lord will lead our people out of the quagmire in which we find ourselves.

A parishioner of the Church of Sorrows on Bolshaya Ordynka, Juliania Yakovlevna Telenkova, an old woman, a simple, illiterate woman who devoted her entire long life to serving the Lord, told me shortly before her death how she began to revere Sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich. She knew little about him and never thought about his personality and fate. When she and her loved ones faced hopeless financial difficulties that threatened irreparable misfortune for the entire family, she saw in a dream the Tsar in military uniform, who said, handing her a silver ruble with his image: “Serve a memorial service for me, and everything will work out for you.”. And so it was: after praying for the Emperor, sudden help came, and from then on she always remembered him and prayed to him, like the second Nicholas the Wonderworker.

One rural, “non-bookish” man, so to speak, a priest from Moldavia, Hieromonk Valerian, told how his veneration of the Royal Martyrs began. He had a vision as if he was performing incense in front of the iconostasis in his temple. “And I did this,” he said, “with such prayerfulness and reverence, which I rarely received even on the greatest holidays.” Among the usual icons, well known to him, he saw a new one, with which the saint depicted on it addressed him as if alive. Although he had never seen this saint before, he immediately recognized him, as sometimes happens in a dream. The Holy Tsar-Martyr Nicholas told the priest to always pray to him, like other saints. Father said with amazement that before this the name of the Tsar meant nothing to him, but now, having read all the books about him, he cannot understand why anyone dares to oppose his glorification. “The event that I want to talk about in itself does not seem to represent anything special, but its consequences for our family are unexpected and significant.

My nephew, on the eve of the day of remembrance of the murder of the Royal Family (July 17), was preparing for exams in mathematics (algebra and geometry) and fell into complete despair - he could not prepare for “excellent”, and with a different assessment he would not pass the competition to the technical school . I persuaded him to rely on the will of God and the intercession of the Martyr Tsar, and with the words “Lord, have mercy,” go to the exam. She herself, as best she could, asked the Lord at the Liturgy, if His holy will be, to help my nephew, according to the holy prayers of the Martyr Sovereign. With tears, I asked the Emperor and all members of his Family to pray to the Lord for mercy on us sinners. The fact is that my mother and I really hoped that if my nephew entered a technical school, he would have less time to “hang out” on the streets and participate with his friends in some obscene evil deeds. And the incredible happened: having pulled out a ticket with a theorem that he did not know, he was confused. The exam went like a dream. He did not remember what he answered or what additional questions he was asked, and yet he received the desired mark. It was a miracle for him, me and, most importantly, my mother, who in the recent past was not just an atheist, but also the one who, for fifteen years, invariably caused scandals every time I went to church. Nothing - no words and no events - could shake her active opposition to faith. Now she venerates the Martyr Tsar and prays to him and other saints whom she knows, especially St. Seraphim of Sarov, in difficult life situations, and maybe constantly, and even tries to convert my sister, her daughter, to the faith.” Svetlana R.

Blessing of the Tsar-Martyr on the Russian People

“I suffered and mourned in those days, I was scared and ashamed. On Sunday, October 10th, in the afternoon, I lay down at home to rest and quietly fell asleep. I saw our Holy Trinity Church in a dream. As always, there were a lot of people in it, but this time the people were all some kind of non-church people, you meet a lot of them on the streets, in shops and so on. They stood pressed tightly against each other. I went into the church, apparently during the funeral litany, but I heard strange singing, the choir was singing a strange chant: “Now rest us, O Christ God...” I couldn’t believe my ears that they were singing? “Now rest us, O Christ God,” they sing and sing the same thing, and so inspiredly, harmoniously, sublimely - not the way our choir usually sings with operatic modulations. Then the priest comes out to the pulpit and gives a sign to those present, and all the people begin to sing along with the choir: “Now rest us, O Christ God.” The priest conducts, and the people sing and sing. Next to me, a woman roughly shakes her child and orders: “Sing, sing!” - and rushes over everyone: “Now rest us, O Christ God!”

I am in a daze and realize that this is a dream and try to wake up. And now it seems to me that I wake up and begin to think painfully about what I saw, and for some reason I remember Tsar Nicholas the Martyr. And suddenly I see him (it turns out I’m still dreaming). I see the image of the Tsar high, high above the iconostasis. This is an icon, but at the same time the Tsar is alive. He is in a military suit, depicted from the waist up. He looks at the people with love, his face is calm and radiates peace. I look up at him and suddenly see that he is blessing the people. He blesses him with both hands.” Tatiana Vasilyeva.

...How many more miracles from the Royal Martyrs have not been committed to paper. Go to the Nikolskoye cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra to the wretched holy fool’s chapel dedicated to the Royal Martyrs. Paper icons in the symbolic iconostasis, the faces of the holy Royal New Martyrs are written in an inept hand in a childish manner on the crumbling plaster of a dilapidated chapel building. There are no doors or glass in the window openings. The breeze sways the royal standards. Everything related to the memory of the Royal Family has been carefully and touchingly collected. Prayers, akathist, canon, copied by hand, on a table at the entrance. You will almost always find someone there praying to the Martyr Sovereign. And they will tell you many miracles that are performed continuously through the prayers of the Royal New Martyrs, if you ask. People come here not out of obligation, not for show; living faith and the need for a heavenly monarch-intercessor brings Russian people here. And the Lord works miracles according to the faith of those who come, it’s only a pity that we are careless and do not collect priceless evidence of each of the miracles as precious stones for the martyr’s crown of our Heavenly Monarch and his Family.

Prayer to Tsar Nicholas

Holy Tsar-Passion-Bearer Nicholas 2

Not because we obeyed the commandment of the Lord: “Touch not my anointed,” but to David, who said: “Whoever stretches out his hand against the Lord’s Anointed, will not the Lord strike him?” And now, worthy of our deeds, we are acceptable, for even to this day the sin of shedding the royal blood weighs on us.

Be our intercessor, protector, and protector. Do not turn away from us, and do not leave us to be trampled underfoot by the wicked. Grant us the strength to repent, and incline God’s justice to mercy, so that the Lord will not destroy us completely, but may He forgive us all and mercifully have mercy on us, and save the Russian land and its people.

May our Fatherland be delivered from the troubles and misfortunes that have befallen us, may it revive faith and piety, and may it restore the throne of the Orthodox Kings, so that the prophecies of the saints of God may come true. And may the Russian people throughout the entire universe glorify the all-praised name of the Lord and serve Him faithfully until the end of the age, singing the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

The family of royal passion-bearers, long before its creation, experienced the hardships of life virtuously. Tsarevich Nikolai met his betrothed at a young age. At first they were connected by a strong friendship, which over time turned into an amazing and sensitive relationship. The future Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, born German Princess Alice of Darmstadt, had to renounce Protestantism and convert to Orthodoxy.

In the fall of 1894, a few months before the wedding, Nicholas's father, Tsar Alexander III, suddenly died.

He left the heir to the throne a valuable order to love everything that contributes to the prosperity of the Russian Empire, and to base rule on the faith and truth of the Almighty and divine laws.

And Emperor Nicholas II himself believed in the sanctity of the duty to fulfill royal duties. By nature he was kind-hearted and tactful.

A year after the wedding, the Tsar’s first daughter, Princess Olga, was born. And after her, three more girls were born: Tatyana, Maria and Anastasia. The parents passionately desired a son and only the prayer of the Romanov royal family gave them a boy. With God's help, Tsarevich Alexy was born in 1904. Boundless happiness was clouded by the congenital condition of the royal baby’s health - he was diagnosed with hemophilia. Every drop of blood shed was in mortal danger.

Sincere faith and deep religiosity set the royal couple apart from the Russian aristocracy of that time. They not only strictly followed the traditions of the Orthodox Church, but also made pilgrimages to holy places. Tsar Nikolai Alexandrovich generously financed church needs. During his reign, more than 250 monasteries were built and many saints were canonized, as had never happened before.

The political enemies of the tsar took advantage of the situation that played out in the country against the backdrop of the First World War and organized unrest among the masses. In the spring of 1917, autocrat Nikolai Romanov abdicated the throne.

The royal family was taken into custody. In August of the same year they were exiled to Tobolsk, where they spent several months. The last place of exile for them was the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg. The prisoners were cut off from the outside world by the terrible conditions of the prison, but until their last days they retained amazing nobility, fortitude and trust in the will of the Lord. The prayer of the passion-bearer Tsar Nicholas supported hope in the hearts of his faithful circle.

On the night of July 17, the royal family, along with their loyal courtiers, was destroyed by brutal reprisals. The Bolshevik executioners first shot all the prisoners, and finished off the dead with bayonets.

Like the Christ of modern times, Emperor Nicholas and his family ascended the Russian Golgotha.

What do the royal family pray for?

The Romanov royal family is still a standard of purity and righteousness. Christian believers turn to Tsar Nicholas II with a prayer for help in the following cases:

for family unity;
seek advice on raising children;
for various diseases of internal organs;
with blindness and lameness;
for alcoholism and drug addiction;
for protection from danger;
during hostilities.

Orthodox believers offer prayers to Nicholas II and his family because in their life and death the light of the faith of Christ was revealed, not subject to evil and shining in the lives of millions of people.

The days of remembrance of the royal family are set on July 17 and Sunday January 25 or the next Sunday after it.

Text of the prayer to the royal family

Today, faithful people, let us brightly honor the seven honorable royal passion-bearers, Christ’s one home Church: Nicholas and Alexandra, Alexy, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia.

For this reason, not being afraid of the bonds and sufferings of many kinds, I accepted death and desecration of bodies from those who fought against God and improved my boldness towards the Lord in prayer. For this reason, let us cry out to them with love: O holy passion-bearers, listen to the voice of repentance and the lamentation of our people, strengthen the Russian land in love for Orthodoxy, save from internecine warfare, ask God for peace and great mercy to our souls.

Oh, holy passion-bearer to Tsar Nicholas the Martyr! The Lord has chosen you as His anointed one, to be merciful and right to judge your people and to be the guardian of the Orthodox Church.

For this reason, with the fear of God, you performed royal service and cared for souls. The Lord, testing you like Job the Long-Suffering, allows you reproach, bitter sorrow, betrayal, betrayal, alienation of your neighbors and abandonment of the earthly kingdom in mental anguish.

All this for the good of Russia, as her faithful son, having endured, and as a true servant of Christ, receiving a martyr's death, you have reached the Heavenly Kingdom, where you enjoy the Highest glory at the Throne of all the Tsar, together with your holy wife Queen Alexandra and your royal children Alexy, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia.

Now, having great boldness in Christ the King, pray that the Lord will forgive the sin of the apostasy of our people and grant forgiveness of sins and instruct us in all virtues, so that we may acquire humility, meekness and love and be made worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom, where the new martyrs and all the saints are together. Russian confessors let us glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to the holy passion-bearer Tsar-martyr Nicholas II

O holy great Russian Tsar and passion-bearer Nicholas! Listen to the voice of our prayer and lift up to the Throne of the all-seeing Lord the groaning and sighing of the Russian people, once chosen and blessed by God, but now fallen and departed from God. Resolve the perjury that hitherto weighs heavily on the Russian people. We have sinned grievously by apostasy from the Heavenly King, leaving the Orthodox faith to be trampled upon by the wicked, breaking the conciliar oath and not forbidding the murder of yours, your family and your faithful servants.
Not because we obeyed the commandment of the Lord: “Touch not my anointed,” but to David who said: “Whoever stretches out his hand against the Lord’s Anointed, will not the Lord strike him?” And now, worthy of our deeds, we are acceptable, for even to this day the sin of shedding the royal blood weighs on us.
To this day our holy places are being desecrated. Fornication and lawlessness do not diminish from us. Our children are given over to reproach. Innocent blood cries to heaven, shed every hour in our land.
But see the tears and contrition of our hearts, we repent, just as the people of Kiev once did before Prince Igor, who was martyred by them; like the people of Vladimir before Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, who was killed by them, we ask: pray to the Lord, may he not turn away from us completely, may he not deprive the Russian people of His great chosenness, but may he give us the wisdom of salvation, so that we can rise from the depths of this fall.
Imashi, Tsar Nicholas, have great boldness, for you shed your blood for your people, and you laid down your soul not only for your friends, but also for your enemies. For this reason, stand now in the Everlasting Light of the King of Glory, as His faithful servant. Be our intercessor, protector, and protector. Do not turn away from us, and do not leave us to be trampled underfoot by the wicked. Grant us the strength to repent, and incline God’s justice to mercy, so that the Lord will not destroy us completely, but may He forgive us all and mercifully have mercy on us, and save the Russian land and its people. May our Fatherland be delivered from the troubles and misfortunes that have befallen us, may it revive faith and piety, and may it restore the throne of the Orthodox Kings, so that the prophecies of the saints of God may come true. And may the Russian people throughout the entire universe glorify the all-praised name of the Lord and serve Him faithfully until the end of the age, singing the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
