Andrew the First-Called - who he is, brief biography facts and features of the holiday in his honor

Among the large number of saints and martyrs, Apostle Andrew the First-Called occupies a special place in the Orthodox Church; he is considered the patron saint of Rus' (the St. Andrew's Cross is depicted on the flag of the Russian Navy). Every believer should understand what an ordinary fisherman did to deserve such respect.

Who is Andrew the First-Called?

The first of the 12 apostles who earned this title by their righteous deeds was Andrew the First-Called. Apostle means “witness,” Andrew was the first to witness the resurrection of Jesus, and followed him to bring to people the miracles that happened with God’s help, for which he was nicknamed “The First Called.” People did not see or understand then what was happening; everything new seemed outlandish to them. Everyone whom Apostle Andrew met on his way either harshly rejected his sermons or flared up with love for Jesus.

Life of St. Andrew the First-Called

The future apostle was born in a place on the border with Greece. A short biography of Andrew the First-Called describes the moment when he decided that he would serve the Lord. On the Jordan River, Andrew saw Jesus and followed him, learning that he was the son of God. Andrew's brother Simon went with them, and later became the Apostle Peter. Throughout his life, Saint Andrew preached faith in Christ, but was executed in 67. The cross, similar to the letter “X”, on which he was crucified, is called “St. Andrew’s”. A healing spring appeared at the place where Apostle Andrew was executed.

Relics of St. Andrew the First-Called

Saint Andrew was executed in the city of Patras, and his relics remained there. In 357, Constantius II, ruler of the Peloponnese, ordered the remains of St. Andrew, with the exception of the head, to be transferred to the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. The Church of St. Andrew the First-Called in Patras reverently preserves the relics of the holy martyr, which constantly stream myrrh. Several times a year, fragrant myrrh is taken out of the tomb and used to heal seriously ill people. Parts of the relics of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called can also be found in other churches:

• in St. Andrew's I will throw on Mount Athos;
• in the Great Lavra named after St. Athanasius;
• in the Italian Cathedral in Amalfi;
• in the Church of St. Peter the Preacher in Rome.

On which flag can you see the St. Andrew's Cross?

St. Andrew's Cross is placed on many flags of countries and territories around the world. These are England, Novorossiya, Georgia, Scotland, Florida USA, Tenerife and the Basque country in Spain, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and so on.

In Russia, the Naval Forces remained faithful to the St. Andrew's flag. It can be seen not only on the main flag of the Russian Navy, but on the huys - the bow flag of the ship. Guys is a completely separate topic. Listen to what Old Believer Qatar says about him:

“The real flag of Rus' is not a tricolor or something else invented, supposedly by Peter. And guys or DREAMS. That is, celestial observations of the Zodiac torus along the inner surface of which our Sun rolls. And around the Sun is our Earth. This torus is the symbol of God, or rather the solar halo above his head, but not God himself.”

St. Andrew's Cross was the first geodetic instrument given to humanity by Jesus Christ. Later, the idea of ​​Christ will form the basis for other navigational instruments - the quadrant, theodolite and the like. St. Andrew's Cross gave the world tangents and cotangents and largely determined its future.

The meaning of the Orthodox cross

Feast of St. Andrew the First-Called

Every year on December 13, the Orthodox Church celebrates the feast day of St. Andrew the First-Called. Even Peter I approved an order in his honor, which to this day is considered the greatest award in our country, and Saint Andrew is revered as the defender of Rus'. On the day of St. Andrew the First-Called, women were allowed to do needlework; it was believed that this could protect them from attacks by wild animals. The cobs of boiled corn scattered around the garden on this day were supposed to save the house from animals. There are also known beliefs associated with the holiday of December 13:

1. If you make an ice hole and listen to the sound of the water, you can predict what kind of winter it will be. The ice hole is quiet - the winter is expected to be warm, the water is noisy - you should expect severe frosts.
2. The fire in the stove on St. Andrew's Day burns with a scarlet flame - expect cold weather, white - for a thaw.
3. The day of December 13 is sunny and frosty - there will be a good harvest.
4. It snowed on St. Andrew's Day - there will be snowdrifts until the end of April.
5. The cat washes itself thoroughly - the day is expected to be very cold.

Andrew the First-Called – icon

The face of the apostle appeared on icons a long time ago, back in the 4th – 6th centuries. The saint is depicted in full growth on icons; he is easily recognized by his gray hair and beard. Almost every icon of St. Andrew the First-Called has a cross, it is beveled, and is located behind the saint. On some icons, Saint Andrew is depicted with an ordinary cross in his right hand, and in his left he holds a scroll. Legends that say that Andrei was a teacher for many believers were the reason why he began to be depicted with a book in his hands.

Cross of St. Andrew the First-Called

Throughout his life, Apostle Andrew preached faith in God, for which he was repeatedly persecuted and punished. In the city of Patras, after numerous miracles, Andrei was forced to accept death by order of the ruler of the city. They crucified Saint Andrew the First-Called on a diagonal cross, tying his hands to its tops. Before his death, Andrei exclaimed: “Lord Jesus Christ, accept my spirit,” and the cross began to shine, so the Lord accepted the soul of Saint Andrew the First-Called. The diagonal cross is considered the symbol of the Russian Navy, the white flag with a blue cross is also called St. Andrew's.

History of the origin of the St. Andrew's Cross

I suggest listening to the story of the St. Andrew’s Cross from the lips of the Old Believer reciter Commissioner of Qatar:

“And we will start with the journey of St. Andrew the First-Called along the Dnieper. Why did he go along the Dnieper? So along the Apostolic Meridian, the middle of which is Kyiv. The Dnieper flows along it. And then they traveled on boats. So, any deviation from this apostolic line gives the concept of LONGITUDE. If you know that this meridian is zero. One degree – one day. That is, traveling along the Dnieper, the apostle (in fact, this is another reflection of Christ) could accurately map the river bed. However, longitude is not enough; latitude is also needed.”

The history of St. Andrew's Cross began with the need to determine the location by longitude and latitude. To do this, Andrei Bogolyubsky used two instruments he made. Ring with angular dimensions of 13 zodiac constellations - from 8 to 42 degrees. And another tool made of crossed slats, similar to scissors. Have you already guessed the future sextant?

The slats also included a table. When measurements were taken, it was placed clearly along the horizon. You can read how to work with the St. Andrew’s Cross in the miniature “Dreams” by the Commissioner of Qatar.

Andrew the First-Called - what do they pray for?

Believers bow before the icons of St. Andrew the First-Called with prayers. Traditionally, people turn to him with requests to preserve the health of family and friends and solve complex life problems. The Apostle of Christ Andrew is considered the patron saint of all people whose lives are connected with the sea: fishermen and sailors; Orthodox Christians begin every trip to sea with a prayer to Saint Andrew. People turn to the saint for help in learning foreign languages, for a successful marriage, for successful deliverance from serious illnesses and sudden death.

Prayer to St. Andrew the First-Called

You can address the saint either in your own words, coming from the heart, or by memorizing the words of a special prayer. Apostle Andrew the First-Called will not ignore any appeal. The words spoken with faith and soul will always be conveyed by the saint to the Almighty. The Gospel of St. Andrew the First-Called deserves special attention. Written in simple language, it is understandable to many believers. The most effective prayers are those said on the day of remembrance of the holy Apostle and Andrew’s name day:

• December 13th;
• July 17th;
• July 13.

The Law of the Cross of Apostle Andrew the First-Called. A true procession of the cross. Pairing according to Noah.

Have you, dear readers, ever thought about what the CROSS of St. Andrew the First-Called symbolizes? I think it's unlikely. Most will answer that the Apostle Andrew was crucified on a cross of this shape - this is what it means. Allegedly symbolism captured in this way. Memory. And nothing more.

Any symbolism is a reflection of something deeper. And understanding this symbolism reveals a layer of new information to Man. For example, an image or symbol is created by the right hemisphere of the Brain, which is better done by Women (Wizards), which is why the ancient spiritual school, built on images, symbols and rituals, is the school of the Mother of God, that is, a women's spiritual school. And in order to see this image or symbol from the other side, revealing its true appearance, we need a men’s school, the school of God the Father. Or, to put it another way, a Man needs to develop the right hemisphere of the Brain, which is only possible with the help of a Woman, after which the Man will be able to harmoniously develop the left hemisphere of the Brain (without a full-fledged right hemisphere this is impossible), which will make it possible to see symbols and images differently.

The Cross of the Apostle Andrew is the CROSS OF LIFE, which is the foundation of all HIGH LAWS. You can see manifestations of all this in reality everywhere. For example, the right hemisphere of the Brain is responsible for the left side of the body, the left hemisphere is responsible for the right side of the body; thus forming a crosshair (when the brain stem passes into the spinal cord - the nerves at the base of the skull, extending from the two hemispheres, intersect), which is a stable and balanced system with the harmonious functioning of both hemispheres of the Brain. And as we know, the hemispheres of the Brain can also be classified by type: right - female, left - male. Just like body parts - vice versa. That is, the cross of life in the human body is the HARMONY of the Feminine and Masculine principles.

The Bible contains the following phrases:

“So the last will be first, and the first last...” (Matt. 20:16). “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matt. 23:12).

What connection can these statements have with the cross of the Apostle Andrew?

Let's look at a real historical example. I will use two famous figures as examples: Nicholas II and Joseph Stalin.

1892-1894:

1. For Nicholas II, these years became preparation for the Reign and accession in October-November 1894. That is, he climbed to the very top.
2. Stalin graduated from the Orthodox theological school in June 1894, and in the fall of 1894 he entered the theological seminary, where at the same time he became acquainted and became close to the revolutionary movement, which, of course, was outlawed and persecuted.

That is, 1894 became a turning point for both individuals; but one ended up at the top, and the other at the very bottom (underground).

1904-1906 (after 12 years):

And these years have shown that TIME has aligned the Souls of Nicholas II and Stalin on the two sides of its scales. What it is is a change in spirals over time (see image below). Outwardly, this was manifested by the growth of the revolutionary movement, the strengthening of the positions of the “State Duma” rebels, which was greatly influenced by the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. That is, this is the strengthening of Stalin (the revolutionary movement) and a blow to the power (weakening) of Nicholas II (a gradual decline in life began), for which he had to take extreme measures (Stolypin’s military courts). Stalin's soul began to gain momentum (smooth growth in life), the Soul of Nicholas II felt increasing pressure.

1916-1918 (another 12 years later):

This is already the complete opposite of 1892-1894. Who WAS THE FIRST (1893-1894) BECAME THE LAST (1917-1918, 24 years later), and, accordingly, vice versa.

Look at the image below. Do you see the “cross of the Apostle Andrew” in it? This, dear readers, is the true religious procession, or rather, its reflection taking into account the specifics of human existence (misunderstanding, information isolation) in the Age of Pisces. A true religious procession implies knowing, understanding and taking all this into account in your life, saving yourself from tragic consequences.

On the Aquarius Spirals of Time (12 years, 24 years) everything is similar, only FASTER and MORE OFTEN. For example, who began to quickly gain momentum (became the first) from 1993-1994 , reaching the Peak in 1999-2000 . (for example, Putin and Merkel), he may begin to lose/lose a lot (become the last) from 2017-2018 . (in 24 years), and will lose everything by 2023-2024 , if he remains alive. And, accordingly, vice versa. With the right approach to business (without extremes, without ambitions - with the correct understanding of life), everything will look exactly the same, only without tragedies and troubles. You just need to be able to give way to each other, changing, as it were, from one chair to another: from a sage to become a businessman, from a businessman to a sage. I acquired a lot of knowledge, for example, but did not have enough material resources to implement it. On Living Water I received opportunities and put this knowledge into practice: I pushed it to the masses and applied it in some important matter on a large scale. And the one who switched to dead water will take this knowledge, study it and supplement it with his own, that is, he will update everything, which he will then apply in the same way to living water when he receives greater opportunities. Which is what development/evolution is. And all according to the Law of the Cross of St. Andrew the First-Called.

Just don’t go to extremes to argue that “living water” is only the material realization of acquired knowledge, and “dead water” is only the extraction of knowledge. No.

In the dead waters (for example, 1904-2024), without great MATERIAL opportunities, Man focuses on obtaining greater SPIRITUAL opportunities (knowledge), along with which he lays the foundation for future material realization: he “gathers” with associates for future affairs, instructs and gives advice to those who walk on living water, teaches people who turn to him, gives publicity to part of the acquired and verified knowledge, which few people will notice, since TIME will not release knowledge to the masses before the due date. And on living water (2024-2048) - already a full program implementation (not in the format of the Age of Pisces - demonstrating oneself in public), testing and confirming the acquired knowledge more widely, which will little by little open up the layers to more advanced knowledge; where you can completely look when you find yourself on dead water again (2048-2072).

If you look at a Man from the artisan caste, then he simply needs to practice his crafts, bringing them to the level of real masterpieces, while the approach to business should be exploratory with the prospect of constant development. You need to work not for money, but for the TRUE development of your Soul and your Country. Here, in general, CHANGES IN LIVING AND DEAD WATER WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. Everything will be smooth and smooth with a smooth movement forward/upward. The Middle Way, the ability to “walk on water” like Jesus, and what Moses taught.

It's the same in families. For example, parents walk on living water, children walk on dead water. This must be taken into account in order to avoid problems (in children), since when the spirals change over time, problems will stick to the parents, ruining the life of the whole family.

Being on living water, parents will feel material success, which they will want for their children (of course). Without a true understanding of the Universe in your head, the realization of material possibilities will create a huge imbalance in Souls, which in all its “glory” will manifest itself in dead water. That is, parents (living water) will begin to pull their children (dead water) closer to themselves, which will worsen their lives. Since the strengthening of material aspirations on dead water will give instant side effects. Outwardly, such a family will look like two scales, one of which is at the top (parents), and the other at the bottom (children). When the spirals change in time, the Souls of children and parents will begin to smoothly align, and then CHANGE PLACES. Which forms in Time the SIGN OF THE CROSS OF ANDREW THE FIRST CALLED. But you need to understand that all these are extremes that need to be avoided. The true procession of the family is when parents first go ahead, instilling all that is best and right in their children, and having initially formed this in themselves, which will prescribe a harmonious scenario for their children. And then the children, using the parent’s true foundation, move forward, as it were, and make it (the foundation) even more perfect (update): in deeds and in understanding, which raises the whole family even higher. And then this cycle repeats (change of spirals over time).

You still need to understand this point. In the Age of Aquarius, the SCALE of material possibilities will be directly proportional to the scale of spiritual possibilities. That is, the more knowledge a person has acquired, the more material opportunities he will receive (as well as the higher the level of responsibility). But not for himself personally, but for the realization of his knowledge and its application in socially necessary matters: the evolution of Humanity, the development of the mind of the planet - which will raise Man himself higher. Two-way communication: you contribute to the System reaching a new level - the System takes you there too, which is the religious procession . This is, as it were, a completely different system of values, CONTROLLED and governed not by the constitution or any code, but by the SUPREME LAW . The main value is the level of knowledge and understanding of a Person, from which his skills are formed. A person who does not want to learn what is new will find himself in an extremely difficult situation in life. That is, the Spiritual foundation (knowledge and true understanding of Life) is primary, from which the scale and nature of material possibilities will be formed. If a Man understands the Laws of the Universe, applying them, for example, in his craft, it means he will be admitted to a very significant and large-scale business.

Only the main criterion in knowledge is not its possession, but the correct understanding of this knowledge. Possession without true understanding is what the authorities (church and political) have been demonstrating for centuries, stealing and taking away all the true holy scriptures and scientific works, leaving for the people only that which will keep them in a tight grip, in a state of slavery. That is, they provide only a small part and at the same time distorted for personal purposes.

You can consider the religious procession in Time and on a large scale. Before our era (Jewish, more than 2000 years ago), power belonged to Women (Matriarchy). In this regard, Men were in secondary roles; but, of course, not subordinate to Women in the modern sense. Living water, giving people power, it gave Feminine energy, which elevated Women. That is, in Time, the Feminine spiral (with the opposite direction of movement) was primary, which is why it was possible to gain access to power, having precisely the Feminine energy. In general, for several thousand years, Women were “first” and Men were “last”. During the transition to the Era of Pisces, Men (Egypt, Byzantium) seized power by force and deception ( the LAW OF TIME began to allow them to do this, but only for 2000 years), humiliating Women, and even organizing a real genocide of Women, which was repeated 1000 years later in Russia . That is, whoever was first became last , and vice versa. Modern feminism is the subconscious signals of Women sent by TIME itself. After all, the cycle has ended (2000 years), now the last one must rise again. But since society over the course of 2000 years has turned into a purely material and consumer society, attempts to rise up occur with distortions. Moreover, now we are just entering a real patriarchy, where the place in power is reserved for men. In general, Women will become the first in something (where they were last: the church hierarchy), and men will become the last (the same church hierarchy). And for the absolute power (material and spiritual) intercepted by force and the genocide of Women, Men will pay with a very high mortality rate (as Islam predicts). This is not how power exchanges should work. A woman, whatever one may say, had to maintain her place in the church, beginning to cede power to a Man (transitional period), but while maintaining her Women's rights (according to the Law of Time). Which would be a reflection of the TRUE CROSS PROCESS without extremes, with a correct understanding of the System of the Universe.

When there is no understanding, the result is negative: first the genocide of Women, and after a long cycle of time - high mortality among Men. Which is the same religious procession in time (a change of roles on the stage of life).

In general, the religious procession in time does not consist precisely in changing roles (castling). Here you need to understand something like this. Anyone who has extensive material capabilities (power) must first of all think about those who do not have this, but have increased spiritual capabilities. That is, the material camp (living water) must take care of the spiritual camp (dead water), preventing it from dying in life (from hunger, for example). Then the spiritual camp will transfer (will transfer) to the material everything that is necessary for the development of society, which is a condition for survival, since TIME requires constant development, creating continuous changes in the reality around us. Next, people from opposite camps will change places, but their understanding will remain the same (think about each other's well-being: since one camp will not survive without the other).

In the Age of Pisces, the Age of Information Isolation, everything looked like the picture (see above): Nicholas II - Stalin. While the material camp does not know problems, while thinking that it has the spiritual (the Bible), the spiritual (the conventional name for it in the Age of Pisces), that is, dead water, or is in poverty, while not knowing its direct responsibilities (think more about the spiritual) , or is making plans to overthrow the material camp (Stalin, by the way, began to participate in such events while studying at a theological Orthodox seminary). The end result is a mess.

A spiritual camp is not necessarily one that walks on dead water. This concept needs to be considered from three sides:

1. Dead water. It “sobers up” a Man, opens his eyes to many things, which makes (can make!) him more spiritual. For example, Tsar Alexander I, who, according to legend, “reincarnated” as the mysterious old man Fyodor Kuzmich. In fact, this is a real situation where the Essence/Brain (with memory) was transplanted onto another body, which happened without death. In time, this is a transition from living water to dead water. At first, inspired by his successes, Alexander forgot a little; but then his Soul began to suffer; and having incarnated as an old man, he became a more spiritual Man, leaving the world. If we take a Person of another caste, a craftsman, for example. Then such a Man (in the Age of Pisces), walking on living water (good life), greatly relaxes; switching to the dead, he is born in more harsh conditions, where he receives almost nothing for his work, which is why his understanding of life begins to change.
2. Spiritual caste, branch of power (saints, priests, sages, priests, wise men). This is a camp that is directly responsible for the level of spirituality of society. Material caste, branch of power (kings, kings, princes, officials). These two branches must interact effectively with each other. The spiritual caste is the main provider of knowledge and prophecies; the material caste has more opportunities to apply this knowledge in the life of society or create conditions for the work of the spiritual caste. That is, interaction must proceed according to the law of the cross (religious procession). Similarly, “scientist + king”. The king must create conditions for the development of science, then the scientist will give a lot of scientific knowledge that will improve the life of society, which both the scientist and the king should think about.
3. On a planetary scale (Era of Pisces), the material camp is the Aryans (West), and the spiritual camp is the Slavs (East). In material terms, the Slavs were far behind the West, but the concepts of spirituality (Russian Spirit, Spirit of Mother Rus', Mother of God) were preserved more in them. Therefore, the West had to think not about conquering the East, but learn from it a more reasonable life, take an example from it, which would improve the lives of both brothers (both Arius and Slav).

Example: the spiritual camp provides a lot of necessary and useful things (Catharism in Europe), and the material camp destroys the spiritual camp (Catholicism, the Inquisition), taking away everything it has obtained and placing the selected secrecy stamp on it (Vatican library). But without interpreters (they were killed), miners of knowledge who set an example of how to live taking into account knowledge, knowledge becomes just information, which over time (after 1000-2000 years) becomes outdated, in need of updating; and does not give the correct understanding to those who have taken possession of it. Possessing this information, the “inquisitors”, using their flock, continue to destroy the most spiritual layers of the population. Why does everyone lose, since the standard of correct and reasonable life disappears. There is no one to follow as an example. Which is exactly what it is – a violation of the principle of a true religious procession in life.

But all this happens not only due to the fault of the spiritual camp, but also of the spiritual one. A spiritual camp must think carefully about WHO it is transferring knowledge to and to whom it “shines” it, to whom it is trying to influence, to whom it wants to teach. After all, people in the material camp can be divided into two parts: creators (Souls who have undergone the baptism of the Mother of God) and everyone else (who have not undergone the baptism of the Mother of God or who have passed, but very, very poorly). Although the former, under the influence of the latter, who are more in line with the spirit of the Age of Pisces, themselves began to become like their rules, desires, habits, and way of life. It is about the latter (mostly) that Jesus says:

“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces” (Matt. 7:6).

In this case, if you try to impose on an immature Person something for which he has not yet matured, then because of his love, the Person will face aggression (“from love to hate - one step”, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”). That is, for any action, TIME creates a reaction. If the action is correct (comes from a full understanding of the Universe), then the reaction is positive (harmony); if the action is wrong (comes from a misunderstanding of the Universe), then the reaction has a negative effect. And all this creates an endless cycle in which nothing changes. Vicious circle. Reincarnation. Which is the main distinguishing feature of large transition periods (between the lower and higher Worlds) in time.

The same should happen between a Woman and a Man: caring for each other with an understanding of what it means to be a Woman and what it means to be a Man (according to the Laws of the Universe).

For example, if a Man is not given water, not fed normal food, not washed, not ironed, dirty and smelly, then what can he do for his Woman? After all, he won’t even be hired anywhere. For the office - unwashed and unironed; for physical work - unfed (weak). This is what a woman should think about. (These are, of course, conditional examples; the Universe is much broader than these everyday concepts).

And if a Woman has nothing to wear, no one gives flowers, doesn’t give compliments, doesn’t protect her from the severity of any affairs, etc., etc., then what will such a Woman give to a Man? Also - nothing. Therefore, the Man must take care of this.

CORRECT understanding and CORRECT deeds are the guarantee that castling (change of spirals) and interaction (of opposites) in the life of society and in every family will occur absolutely painlessly and somewhere even invisible and imperceptibly, bringing out each family (each family member ) and the entire society as a whole to a new level of development, from cycle to cycle, higher and higher, regardless of gender, profession, time spiral, age, etc.

This is all clear, I hope.

Food for thought:

Just as the eight-fold path must be considered on different scales, connecting all scales into one integral structure, so does the procession. Our internal organs live the same way as people, only the main cycle is not 12 years, but 12 hours (daily cycle). For example, the period 7.00-9.00 is the peak of maximum activity of the stomach (transition to living water); 19.00-21.00 is the peak of minimal activity (transition to dead water). While one organ is working at its maximum, at this time some other organ is working at its minimum. It turns out that they compensate each other. Ponder if you wish.

Akathist to St. Andrew the First-Called

Saint Andrew the First-Called became the first Apostle, or witness to the miracles of Jesus Christ. An akathist, or doxology in honor of the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called, has the form of a solemn song; it is pronounced on the day of remembrance of the saint, or when it is necessary to turn to him for help. Before pronouncing the akathist, you should remember important rules:

1. You must stand while performing. Only seriously ill patients are allowed to sit.
2. You need to read the akathist in front of the icon of the saint; if there is no face in the house, you can perform the akathist turning your face to the east.
3. A prerequisite is that the akathist must be spoken sincerely, with an open heart and good thoughts; Apostle Andrew the First-Called will definitely hear such a prayer.

The geographical center of the world was established using the St. Andrew's Cross

During his voyage along the Dnieper - the Apostolic Prime Meridian, St. Andrew the First-Called established the St. Andrew's Cross on the Bezhanitskaya Hill. Today this geographical name is not familiar to most Russians. And completely in vain. Our heads are filled with priestly nonsense. But there is no longer any place for the real history of Rus'.

Listen to the Qatari accountant, who knows the history of Russia from the family archives of an ancient Qatari family:

“The Apostle Andrew installed his cross precisely at this height when he climbed along the Dnieper and its tributaries. Even the priests will tell you this. Although they don’t understand a damn thing why he did it. And all because Christ-Andrei is a great clever and knowledgeable person... Andrei found the center of the world, geographically of course. Correlated with the belt of Orion, which I talked about in a previous work, speaking about the Three Kings. It is in that place on the day of the minimum solstice that the yards will show the same angles of inclination. The center of the northern world, on the day of the minimum solstice in the northern hemisphere. That’s why the geographic topographic reference in the form of a cross was placed there.”

Geographically, the center of the world on the map of Russia

The Bezhanitskaya Upland is located almost in the center of the Pskov region. Between the Lovat and Velikaya rivers. It has an almost regular oval shape. The total area of ​​the hill is more than 4,000 km². From southeast to northwest it extends for 86 km - this is its length. The width of the Bezhanitskaya Upland is from 35 to 45 km.

Its surface is indented by highs and lows of the soil and is waterlogged. Dozens of rivers have their sources here, and over 500 lakes occupy 6% of its surface. Mixed forests grow on almost a third of the elevation. The flat areas were favored by oak groves.

Fortune telling for St. Andrew the First-Called

The magical night of St. Andrew the First-Called on December 13 is ideal for fortune telling. For a long time, before the day of remembrance of the Apostle Jesus Christ Andrew, girls observed fasting, prayed to meet a worthy groom, and on the night itself they told fortunes about their betrothed.

1. For fortune telling, you need to prepare 12 pieces of paper: 11 with the names of guys you know, leaving one piece of paper blank.
2. Place them with their names in a bag and mix well.
3. Before going to bed, put the bag under your pillow and ask Saint Andrew the First-Called to say the name of your betrothed.
4. In the morning, take out the bag and pull out the first leaf you come across.
5. The name that will be written is the name of the future husband. An empty piece of paper means that the girl will not get married next year.
