Saints JOASAPH, fils d'un roi de l'Inde, et BARLAAM son père spirituel. (Saint Joasaph est en fait très probablement le Bouddha Gautama Sakyamuni, canonisé dans l'Orthodoxie, à la manière des philosophes de l'Antiquité et des justes de l'Ancien Testament, pour avoir préparé son peuple à recevoir la vraie Lumière; VIème siècle avant NSJC.)

Troparion — Tone 4

Kontakion — Tone 4
Martyr of Christ, Adrian, / you kept the words of your godly and devoted wife Natalia in your heart. / With her you accepted every kind of suffering and obtained the crown of victory!

Ménées.)
Troparion for Ss. Adrian & Natalie (Tone 3)Thou
didst value the Faith as imperishable wealth, O thrice blessed one, and
didst abandon thy father's ungodliness. Accepting thy spouse's word
thou wast made radiant in contest. O glorious Adrian, pray to Christ our
God for us,
together with godly-minded Natalie.
Husband
and wife, they were both of noble and wealthy families in Nicomedia.
Adrian was the governor of the Praetorium and a pagan, and Natalia was a
secret Christian. They were both young, and had lived in wedlock for
thirteen months in all before their martyrdom. When the wicked Emperor
Maximian visited Nicomedia, he ordered that the Christians be seized and
put to torture. There were twenty-three Christians hidden in a cave
near the city. Someone handed them over to the authorities and they were
cruelly flogged with leather whips and staves, and thrown into prison.
They were then taken from prison and brought before the Praetor for
their names to be noted. Adrian looked at these people, tortured but
unbowed, peaceful and
meek, and he put them under oath to say what they hoped for from their
God, that they should undergo such tortures. They spoke to him of the
blessedness of the righteous in the Kingdom of God. Hearing this, and
again looking at these people, Adrian suddenly turned to the scribe and
said: "Write my name along with those of these saints; I also am a
Christian." When the Emperor heard of this, he asked him, "Have you lost
your mind?" Adrian replied, "I haven't lost it, but found it!" Hearing
this, Natalia rejoiced greatly, and, when Adrian sat chained with the
others in prison, came and ministered to them all. When they flogged her
husband and put him to various tortures, she encouraged him to endure
to the end. After long torture and imprisonment, the Emperor ordered
that they be taken to the prison anvil, for their arms and legs to be
broken with hammers. This was done and Adrian, along with the
twenty-three others, breathed his last under the vicious
tortures. Natalia took their relics to Constantinople and there buried
them. After several days, Adrian appeared to her, bathed in light and
beauty and calling her to come to God, and she peacefully gave her soul
into her Lord's hands. (The Prologue from Ochrid) Natalie is English for Natalia.

L'icône de la Très Sainte Mère de Dieu de Vladimir, en mémoire de la délivrance de la ville de Moscou de la menace de Tamerlan (1395). (Office traduit en français par le père Denis Guillaume au tome VIII du Supplément aux Ménées.)
The
Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was painted by the Evangelist Luke
on a board from the table at which the Savior ate together with His
All-Pure Mother and Righteous Joseph. The Mother of God, upon seeing
this image, exclaimed, "Henceforth, all generations shall call Me
blessed. The grace of both My Son and Me shall be with this icon."
In the year 1131, the icon was sent from Constantinople to Rus to holy Prince Mstislav (April 15) and was installed in the Devichi monastery in Vyshgorod, the ancient appanage city of the holy Equal of the Apostles Princess Olga.
The son of George Dolgoruky, St Andrew Bogoliubsky, brought the icon to the city of Vladimir in 1155 and installed it in the renowned Dormition cathedral which he built. At this time the icon received its name of "the Vladimir Icon." The icon was first brought to Moscow in the year 1395. Thus, the blessing of the Mother of God established the spiritual bonds of Byzantium and Rus via Kiev, Vladimir and Moscow.
The festal celebration of the Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos occurs several times during the year (21 May, 23 June and 26 August). The most solemn celebration occurs on August 26, the Feast established in honor of the Meeting of the Vladimir Icon upon its Transfer from Vladimir to Moscow.
In the year 1395, the fearsome conqueror Khan Tamerlane (Temir-Aksak) reached the Ryazan frontier, took the city of Elets and advancing towards Moscow he came near the banks of the River Don. Great Prince Basil Dimitrievich went with an army to Kolomna and halted at the banks of the River Oka. He prayed to the holy Hierarchs of Moscow and St Sergius for the deliverance of the Fatherland, and he wrote to the Metropolitan of Moscow St Cyprian (September 16), that the pending Dormition Fast should be devoted to zealous prayers for mercy and repentance.
Clergy were sent to Vladimir, where the famed wonderworking Vladimir Icon was. After Divine Liturgy and a Molieben on the feast of the Dormition, they clergy took the icon and brought it to Moscow. Along the way, on both sides of the road, countless people prayed kneeling: "O Mother of God, save the land of Russia!" At that same hour, when the people of Moscow were meeting the Vladimir Icon on Kuchkov Field, Tamerlane was sleeping in his tent. Suddenly, he saw in a dream a great mountain, at the summit of which were the holy hierarchs with golden staffs coming towards him. Above them, in a brilliant radiance, was a Majestic Woman. She commanded him to leave the domains of Russia.
Awakening in fright, Tamerlane asked the meaning of the vision. The experts answered that the Radiant Lady was the Mother of God, the great Protectress of Christians. Tamerlane then gave the order for his troops to retreat. In memory of this miraculous deliverance of the Russian Land from Tamerlane, they built the monastery of the Meeting on Kuchkov Field, where the Meeting of the Vladimir Icon took place. On August 26, the all-Russian celebration in honor of the Meeting of the Vladimir Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God was established.
Very important events in Russian Church history have occurred before the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God: the election and elevation of St Jonah, advocate of an Autocephalous Russian Church (1448), and of St Job, first Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia (1589), and of His Holiness Patriarch St Tikhon (1917). The enthronement of His Holiness Pimen, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, occurred on a day of celebration in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God on May 21 (O.S.), 1971.
The historical days of 21 May, 23 June and 26 August, connected with this holy icon, have become memorable days for the Russian Orthodox Church.
