LUKIAN
Genus. in Antioch (according to the Synaxarion of the K-Polish Church and Basil II Minology) in Christ. family; Some sources indicate Samosata as the birthplace of L. (for example, the lexicon of “Suda”), but the Antiochene origin is more likely (perhaps “Suda” confuses L. with the famous 2nd century Greek writer Lucian of Samosata, see: Bardi 1936. P. 34). In his youth he studied St. Scripture at hand. a certain Macarius in Edessa (Suda. L 685). He led a strict, solitary, ascetic life. OK. 270 he was ordained presbyter of the Antiochian Church. He founded a large catechetical school in Antioch (διδασκαλεῖον μέγα - Ibidem), where he studied. arr. interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. As the K-Polish Synaxarion narrates, L. was “wholly absorbed in reading divine sayings and meditating on the Scriptures (τῇ μελέτῃ τῶν γραφῶν),” thanks to which he “silenced many Jews and Greeks and for many became a teacher of faith in Christ” (SynCP. Col. 138).
L. is considered the founder of the Antiochian theological school (see article. Theological schools of the ancient Church). The Arian historian Philostorgius talks about the many disciples of L., among whom he lists bishops Eusebius of Nicomedia, Maria of Chalcedon, Theognius of Nicaea, Leontius of Antioch, Anthony, Bishop. Tarsus of Cilicia, Minofant of Ephesus, Neominy, Eudoxius of Germanicia (later bishop of K-Poland), and also reports about a certain Alexander and Asterius of Cappadocia (see Asterius Sophist), students of L., who, “having submitted to the will of the tyrants, fell into Hellenism, but later they realized their fall and by the exhortations of the teacher they were brought to repentance” (Philost. Hist. eccl. II 14). Most of the listed students of L. adhered to Arianism. At the same time, according to Philostorgius, of those mentioned, only bishops Anthony and Leontius “retained purity and severity in the faith,” that is, they remained faithful to Arianism. Bishops Eusebius, Theognius and Marius, having retreated from Arianism under the influence of the First Ecumenical Council, subsequently. returned to their previous views. However, Philostorgius notes, Mari and Theognius believed that God was the Father even before the birth of the Son, for he had the power to give birth to Him. Asterius “perverted the teachings of Lucian, asserting orally and in writing that the Son is an indistinguishable image of the essence of the Father” (Ibid. II 15). In addition, Philostorgius reports that L.’s disciples did not share the opinion of Arius that the Son of God does not have knowledge of God the Father (Ibid. II 3). A letter from Arius to Eusebius of Nicomedia has also been preserved, in which he calls Eusebius a “true Solukianist” (ap. Theodoret. Hist. eccl. I 5.4). On the basis of this evidence, the statement is often made that it is in the school of L. that one should see the emergence of those theological ideas that were later to be seen. Arius will preach (A. von Harnack directly called L. “Arius before Arius” - Harnack A. Lehrbuch der Dogmengeschichte. Darmstadt, 1964. Bd. 2. S. 187). However, there is too little information about the teachings of L. himself to make an unambiguous conclusion about his influence on the emergence of Arianism (as, incidentally, the question of the origin of Arianism from the Antiochian school in our time is not clearly resolved).
Message from St. Alexander of Alexandria in a letter to St. Alexander I of K-Polish about Lucian, a follower of Paul of Samosata, and about his schism (“whose (Paul of Samosata. - M.N.) successor Lucian for many years did not have communication with three bishops” - ap. Theodoret. Hist. eccl. I 4. 36) also does not make it possible to conclude with complete certainty that we are talking specifically about L., and not about some other Lucian (see: Bardi. 1936. P. 50-59).
According to blzh. Jerome of Stridon, L. suffered for confessing Christ in Nicomedia during the persecution of the emperor. Maximina Daii (Hieron. De vir. illustr. 77). The Life of L. tells how imp. Maximin personally conducted the interrogation by L. Eusebius, bishop. Caesarea, in “Church History,” reports that L. spoke in the presence of the emperor with an apology for Christ. faith: “The presbyter of the Antiochian Church Lucian, a man of a beautiful strict life, immersed in sacred science, was brought to Nicomedia, where the king was then located. He made an apology before the magistrate for the doctrine for which he had been arrested; he was taken to prison and killed" (Euseb. Hist. eccl. IX 6. 3; cf.: "Of the martyrs of Antioch, we honor the local presbyter Lucian, an excellent man throughout his entire life, who, in the presence of the emperor, preached about the Heavenly Kingdom of Christ, first verbally , in apology, and then by their actions” - Ibid. VIII 13. 2). St. John Chrysostom in his homily “On the Holy Martyr Lucian” (delivered on January 7, 387) says that one of the tortures to which L. was subjected was torture by hunger, after which a meal was set before him with an idol sacrificed. However, L. passed this test, remembering the true spiritual Meal. After this he was again interrogated. To every question L. “answered only one thing: I am a Christian; and when the executioner said: “What fatherland are you from?” “I am a Christian,” he answered; what is your occupation? - I am a Christian; Who are the ancestors? - He answered everything: I am a Christian... Having said: I am a Christian, - notes St. John Chrysostom - he explained with this his fatherland, his family, his occupation, and everything” (Ioan. Chrysost. In S. Lucian. 2-3). According to Philostorgius, being in prison near death and unable to move from beatings and shackles, on the feast of the Epiphany L. performed the sacrament of the Eucharist on his chest, lying on his back, after which he took communion with the believers around him (Philost. Hist. eccl II 13). After L.'s death, his body was thrown into the sea, from where, as Philostorgius writes, it was carried ashore by a dolphin and buried in the city of Drepan (in Bithynia). Afterwards Queen St. equal to Elena, mother of the Emperor. St. equal to Constantine the Great, erected a temple over the tomb of L.; the city itself, rebuilt by the imp. Constantine in 330, received the name Elenopolis in honor of his mother (Ibid. II 12; Hieron. Chron. // PL. 27. Col. 676). In this temple, according to the testimony of Eusebius of Caesarea, imp. Constantine prayed shortly before his death and before receiving baptism, “for the first time he was honored with the laying on of hands in prayer” (Euseb. Vita Const. 61).
In the Martyrology of the Church of Nicomedia (c. 362), the name L. was placed next to the names of Arius and Eusebius of Caesarea (the Greek text of the Martyrology has been lost, the Syriac translation has survived - Un martyrologe et douze ménologes syriaques / Ed., trad.: F. Neu. Turnhout, 1974. (PO; T. 10. Fasc. 1)). The original Life of L., written in the 4th century. and associated with the veneration of L. by the Arians, was revised by Simeon Metaphrastus (BHG, N 997; PG. 114. Col. 397-416). There is a legend according to which in the beginning. 9th century at imp. Charlemagne's relics were transferred to Arelat and kept in a church built in honor of the martyr (ActaSS. Ian. T. 1. P. 359). Since the 17th century the relics of the saint are kept in the c. Santa Maria Assunta ital. city of Lushano (L. is revered as the patron saint of this city). Day of death of L. - January 7. (established on the basis of the homily “On the Holy Martyr Lucian” by St. John Chrysostom). Celebrating the memory of L. in the Orthodox Church. Church has been rescheduled to Oct. 15. because of the Council of John the Baptist (Sergius (Spassky). Months. T. 3. P. 428; under this date the memory of L. is indicated, for example, in the K-Polish Synaxar of the 10th century - SynCP. Col. 137-141) .
