He is the most prayerful in the world,
He arose by the will of God,

The language of our wondrous Psalter

And patristic books,

He is a royal decoration

A spring of living grace,

The Lord's comfort to us

These words of monk Lazar (Afanasyev) open the book that we present to your attention today. It is called “Church Slavonic language for children. Tutorial".

2. As the publishers say, the ancient Slavic alphabet was created more than a thousand years ago, when the Slavic tribes turned from the darkness of paganism to the light of Christian teaching. In 862, an embassy from the Slavic principality of Moravia, from Prince Rostislav, arrived to the Byzantine Emperor Michael III with a request to send teachers who would translate Christian worship into a language understandable to the Slavic people and who could explain the essence of Christian teaching in their native Slavic language. Many of the Slavs had already accepted Christianity from the Roman Church by that time. But they did not understand the service because it was conducted in Latin. Latin speech was alien to the Slavs, and they were forced to turn to Byzantium for help.

3. This is how the Monk Nestor the Chronicler writes about this event in The Tale of Bygone Years. This work is a monument of ancient Russian literature and a historical document that, through the centuries, has brought to us information about the most important historical events. “When the Slavs were already baptized, their princes Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel sent to Tsar Michael, saying: “Our land is baptized, but we do not have a teacher who would instruct and teach us, and explain the Holy Books: for we do not know Greek language, not Latin. Some teach us this way, and others teach us differently, so we don’t know either the shape of the letters or their meaning. And send us teachers who could tell us about book words and their meaning. "

4. Hearing this, Tsar Michael summoned all the philosophers and conveyed to them everything that the Slavic princes had said. And the philosophers said: “There is a man in Thessaloniki named Leo. He has sons who know the Slavic language; His two sons are skilled philosophers.” Hearing about this, the king sent for them to Leo in Thessaloniki with the words: “Send to us without delay your sons Methodius and Constantine (Cyril).” Lev soon sent them. And they came to the king, and the king said to them: “The Slavic land sent ambassadors to me, asking for a teacher who could interpret the sacred books for them. Because that's what they want." And the king persuaded them and sent them to the Slavic land to Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel. When these brothers arrived, they began to compile the Slavic alphabet and translated the Apostle and the Gospel. And the Slavs were glad that they heard about the greatness of God in their language.”

7. The Church Slavonic language also occupies an important place in Russian culture. It is the basis of the Russian literary language, the source of its richness and beauty. An outstanding thinker, Minister of Public Education, Admiral A. S. Shishkov wrote: “. the Slavic language is the root and foundation of the Russian language; he gives him wealth, intelligence, strength and beauty. He is lofty and magnificent in depicting important objects, and sweet and simple in describing ordinary things. Slavic is a high, learned, bookish language. No other Church has such a treasure as we have. “Our task, the publishers note, is to preserve the Church Slavonic language as an integral part of Orthodox culture and also pass it on to future generations.

Church Slavonic for beginners

To understand a people, you need to understand their language. Believers who want to understand the language of worship, as well as those who are interested in the history and culture of Russia, often ask the question: “Is the Church Slavonic language difficult for beginners?”

To get the answer, you need to delve into the essence of the question. What is Church Slavonic? How did it come about? What was it used for?

History of the language

In the middle of the ninth century, the brothers Cyril and Methodius created the Slavic alphabet, called the Glagolitic alphabet. This alphabet was adapted to Slavic speech, but the letters used there are very unusual. They do not correlate with any other known language. According to the existing version, the Glagolitic alphabet was specially created for the presentation of church texts. But it did not become widespread in Rus'. In Croatia, services were conducted in this language until the 19th century, but in our country, already in the tenth century, there are almost no records in the Glagolitic alphabet. There is an assumption that it was used as a secret language. Another alphabet created by Cyril’s student, Clement, became widespread. It was he who began to be called the Cyrillic alphabet.

The Cyrillic alphabet began to be used to record sacred texts. This is how the Church Slavonic language arose. It was based on the Old Russian language. The differences were that Old Russian was spoken in everyday life, and Church Slavonic was used for prayers and communication with God. In those days, ordinary people understood it, although they themselves did not speak it. This was a different, “upper” level of language. Not for everyday matters, although understandable to everyone.

And then a split happened. Ordinary language has evolved and changed over time. Spoken speech changed, the spelling of letters changed. Church Slavonic remained unchanged. And ordinary people no longer understand him at the proper level. It is this problem that forces those who want to understand more deeply the words spoken by the clergy to begin studying the ancient language.

Church Slavonic numbers

The decimal system of numbers that we use today originated in India, although it is better known to us as “Arabic”. The Arabs, waging numerous wars, reached the borders of India and borrowed its number system.

Later this system spread throughout the world. In Russia, Arabic numerals began to be used in the 18th century. Until this moment, the role of numbers was played by letters, but with a special icon - a title. The title was placed above the first letter if the number was single-digit, or on the second letter from the end if the number was multi-digit. To mark a thousand, an oblique stick with two dashes was placed next to the letter.
