Posted on May 26, 2023


On May 26, the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the transfer of the relics of the reverend martyr Makaria KanivskyiArchimandrite of Ovrutskyi, Abbot of Pinskyi, Pereyaslavsky Miracle Worker.

Makariy was born in 1605 in the city of Ovruch in the noble family of the Tokarevskys – famous zealots of piety. He began his monastic life from a very young age, and his archimandrite ordination was performed by a prominent church figure, the bishop Lazar Baranovich. Macarius wisely managed the Pinsk and Kupyatsky male monasteries, and later he headed the Ovrutsk Dormition Monastery, where he once received tonsure.

The ascetic put all his strength into strengthening the monastery and protecting it from the Poles, and only the destruction by the Tatars forced Macarius to leave the walls of the monastery. Instead, the Metropolitan of Kyiv Joseph Tukalskyiat the request of the hetman Petra Doroshenko, entrusted Makaria with another stronghold – the famous Kaniv monastery. There, in 1678, he met his martyrdom at the hands of the Turks, who, dissatisfied with the transfer of the Right Bank to the Moscow Tsar, carried out a bloody raid into Ukraine.

The body of Archimandrite Macarius was found in the burning of the Kaniv temple and buried under the altar. When they decided to rebuild the temple 10 years later, they found the imperishable relics of the holy martyr. Fearing punitive raids by the Poles, the Orthodox decided to move the relics beyond the Dnipro, to Pereyaslavl, to the cathedral monastery of St. Michael.

Numerous healings near the relics of the holy martyr Macarius only confirmed his holiness. The relics themselves were moved several more times, and since 1965 they have been in the Cherkasy Cathedral. In prayer to Macarius, they ask for intercession, peace and harmony.

George of Constantinople suffered for the veneration of holy icons in Constantinople in the first half of the 9th century. Emperor Theophilus forced Saint George to renounce the worship of holy icons, but the courageous confessor refused to comply with the order, announcing to the godless emperor that by worshiping holy icons, he bowed to their Eternal Prototype.

For disobedience, the emperor ordered to seize and loot the property of St. George, and to drag him with a rope around his neck through the streets of Constantinople and throw him into prison. After that, George was sent into exile with his wife Irina and children. Having experienced many sorrows in exile, the holy confessor George died.
