Prayer for stomach bleeding

History of the Great Martyr Artemy

Artemius of Antioch lived in the 4th century, that is, during this period when the persecution of Christians turned out to be especially cruel. He spoke out against Emperor Julian, accusing him of atrocities, for which he was captured and tortured. But faith in the Lord helped the Great Martyr Artemy to remain without water and food for a long time, to endure torment and torture. Seeing that the saint would not give up his faith, Julian ordered his execution: crush him with a heavy stone and cut off his head.

Shortly before his death, the saint predicted the death of the emperor in the near future.

How do prayers to the Holy Great Martyr Artemy help?

After the death of the tyrant, the relics of the passion-bearer Artemius were transferred to Constantinople. They were buried in the temple, and later they named this temple in honor of Artemius of Antioch.

It is believed that prayers to the Great Martyr Artemy promote healing, and his relics can perform a real miracle.

To the prayers of St. Artemia should be contacted in the following cases:

if there is a threat of appendicitis;
if a stomach or duodenal ulcer is detected;
if a person suffers from a hernia;
if there are any other diseases of the stomach or intestines.

Righteous Artemy Verkolsky

The holy righteous Artemy, the Verkola miracle worker, was born in 1532 in the village of Verkola, in the Dvina region, along the Pinega River, two miles upstream from Kevrola [2]. His parents, his father Cosmas, nicknamed Maly, and his mother Apollinaria, were peasants of that village.

They raised their son in the fear of God and Christian piety. From the age of five, he began to shun the habits typical of children, did not like children's games, was quiet, meek, God-fearing, obedient to his parents, diligently helped his father in his peasant work, as much as he could according to his age.

Once, when he was 12 years old, he was working with his father in the field, harrowing the ground. Suddenly a menacing cloud approached, it became dark as night, a storm arose with a downpour, a terrible thunderclap erupted over the head of the frightened Artemy - and the blessed youth fell dead [3].

Thus, the merciful and wise Lord God deigned to receive the soul of His righteous servant into His heavenly abodes.

Artemy's fellow villagers did not understand, due to their foolishness, this visitation of God and, out of superstition, considered the unexpected death of the blessed youth to be a righteous judgment of God, punishing Artemy for some of his secret sins. The body of Blessed Artemy, as if he had died from sudden death, remained unburied and unburied; They laid it in an empty place in a pine forest, on top of the ground, covered it with brushwood and birch bark, and surrounded it with a wooden fence. It lay there for 32 years, forgotten by everyone.

One summer Agathonik, deacon of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village of Verkole, walked through that forest, picking mushrooms, saw a light over the place where the blessed youth rested, approached and found his incorruptible body. He immediately told the Verkol peasants about this. But they, out of their foolishness, simply took Artemy’s body, brought it without any honor to their parish church and laid it on the porch, covering the coffin with the birch bark that covered the righteous youth in the forest [4].

But the Lord deigned to glorify His saint in the country of Kevrol: from his relics, endless healings began to flow out to the sick. That year, by God's permission, a malignant fever spread in the Dvina region. Many died from this serious disease, especially women and children. The son of the Verkolsky villager Kallinik also fell ill with this disease. In great grief, Callinicus prayed for the healing of his son, then went to church, venerated the tomb of the righteous Artemy and, taking the birch bark that covered his incorrupt relics, with faith he hung it to the cross on the chest of his dying son. The patient recovered. The delighted Kallinik told all his fellow villagers about this, who joyfully gathered in the church of St. Nicholas and began to sing prayers and create a memorial for the righteous youth Artemia. And the Lord had mercy on His servants: the fever in that country soon ceased.

From that time on, the miracles of Saint Artemius began to multiply. A certain man named Pavel, due to a serious illness, had such a crooked neck that his head turned to face backwards and his eyes closed. In such trouble, Paul turned with fervent prayer to God and the righteous Artemy, and the sick man’s head straightened, his eyes opened. The healed man hastened to tell everyone in his village about what had happened. After that, at the church of St. Nicholas, the people of Verkol built a special chapel, where they transferred Artemy’s relics from the porch, placing them in a new coffin. This was in 1584.

When the relics of the blessed youth were brought to the chapel, a woman came there with a relaxed baby, asked to serve a prayer service, placed her youth on Artemy’s tomb, and the youth’s sick hand was healed. Around the same time, one peasant Andrei and a peasant woman Irina, who suffered from eye problems, received health and clear vision from touching the sacred shrine of the newly-minted miracle worker. One woman named Maria, who suffered for forty years from a stomach illness so severe that she often died from excessive suffering for two or three hours, heard about the miracles flowing from the relics of Artemy, turned to him with prayer and received a quick healing.

Seeing the healings multiplying from the relics, two priests, John and Thomas, ordered several icons of the righteous Artemy to be painted on the boards of the old tomb. There were shavings left from those boards. Priest John carefully collected these shavings and placed them in storage at the church. Pious worshipers of the righteous Artemy, who took those shavings with faith, received healing from their ailments.

One man from Pinega, named Pankraty, who was passing through Verkola, in 1601 brought one of these icons of Artemy to Veliky Ustyug, and from that image many received healing then.

In 1619, Metropolitan Macarius of Novgorod testified to the relics of the righteous man and gave his blessing to transfer them to the church itself on the day of remembrance of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, December 6 [5]. Some time later, Ilarion Artemiev, a resident of the city of Kholmogory, came to Verkola and said that he had been sick with his eyes for a long time, could not see anything and suffered severely, so that he tried to hang himself in despair, and only neighbors who arrived in time prevented this. Having heard about the miracles flowing from the relics of the righteous Artemy, he turned to him with earnest prayer for his healing.

“At that same hour,” said the healed man, “I received my sight, and in a vision I saw Saint Artemy in white robes with a small staff in his left hand and with a cross in his right. He crossed me and said:

- Human! what are you suffering? Arise: Christ, through me, His servant, heals you. Go to Verkola, venerate my coffin and tell the priest and all the peasants about this.

At these words, the righteous youth, taking me by the hand, seemed to force me to do this and then became invisible. When I woke up, I felt completely healthy, as if I had never been sick. And so I came here to venerate his holy relics.”

The miracle with one peasant from the village of Kivokurya, Ustyug district, Patrik Ignatiev, was especially remarkable. Since childhood, he suffered seriously from a hernia. Hearing about the miracles of righteous Artemy, he prayed to him with faith, made a vow to venerate his coffin and recovered, but then forgot about the vow he had made.

A few years later, he again felt attacks of a hernia, which began to torment him even more than before. Patrick turned again with prayer to the righteous Artemy and remembered his unfulfilled vow. The sick man’s prayer was heard, but Patrick again forgot about the vow he had made. Then melancholy attacked him and impenetrable darkness covered his eyes. The unfortunate man again remembered his unfulfilled vow, bitterly repented and promised to urgently fulfill his duty. Righteous Artemy again saved Patricius from his illness, and the healed one joyfully hurried to Verkola to Artemy’s tomb, ordered a prayer service to be served for him, kissed his multi-healing coffin with tears and confessed to everyone about the miracle that had happened and his sinful oblivion.

In 1636, in March, Afanasy Pashkov, appointed governor there, went to Kevrola and Mezen. On the way, he stopped in Verkola, but he did not visit the shrine of the relics of the righteous Artemy and did not serve him a thanksgiving prayer. In Kevrol, his son, the youth Jeremiah, fell seriously ill with a fever and was already preparing for death. Then the father remembered that he had not served a prayer service to the righteous Artemy, and made a vow to go on a pilgrimage to Verkola. And suddenly Pashkov’s son, who was lying in heavy oblivion, rose from his bed and, holding on to the window, began to ask his father which way to go to the righteous Artemy. Marveling at this, the father brought his son to Verkola. Here they served a vowed prayer service, took birch bark from the tomb of the Wonderworker so that the sick person would wear it on his chest along with the cross, and the youth recovered. The grateful father created in Verkola, at the site of the discovery of the relics of Artemy, a temple in honor of the martyr Artemy of the same name as the righteous youth.

Some time later, the temple in Verkola burned down, and the relics of the righteous Artemy were also burned. The local priest Lavrentiy and the parishioners of the Verkolsky village, to protect Artemy’s relics from such accidents, built a special chapel over them, placed them in a new shrine and covered them with a new cover.

After that, new miracles began to flow from the wonderworker’s tomb. Thus, the righteous Artemy saved a certain Simeon Kazarinov from drowning. After Ilyin's day, he sailed on a ship with his comrades across the Arctic Ocean from Mangazeya [6] to Arkhangelsk. Suddenly a fierce storm arose, and the ship was in danger of imminent collapse. Those who floated were horrified and despairing. Not seeing any hope of salvation from anywhere, they began to prepare for death and, while waiting for it, said goodbye to each other. Then they came to their senses and began to pray with tears to the Lord God and the righteous Artemy for their salvation, promising to serve a prayer of thanks to the saint of God. And, through their prayer, the sea calmed down, and the drowned escaped inevitable death.

The glory of healings from the relics of the righteous Artemy spread far. The Novgorod Metropolitan Cyprian sent again to examine his incorruptible relics, confirmed with his signature the list of healings delivered to him and sent a newly compiled service to the miracle worker to the church in the village of Verkola.

In 1648, a letter from Tsar Alexy Mikhailovich was sent to Kevrola, addressed to the local governor Anichkov: it was ordered that the relics of the righteous Artemy be placed in a new shrine and it was allowed to build a monastery in the place where his relics were found, which, according to the royal letter, were on The next year they were moved there and placed in the church of the Holy Martyr Artemy, built by Voivode Pashkov. At the same time, various healings flowed from the holy relics to everyone who flowed to them with faith. The people gathered in large numbers offered warm prayers to Christ God and His holy saint, righteous Artemy, the Verkolsky miracle worker, glorifying the grace of God, revealed in him for the consolation of all Orthodox Christians. Subsequently, the relics of Righteous Artemy, on the occasion of fires, were taken out of the monastery temple three times, until finally a stone church was built in the monastery in 1793, consecrated in honor of Righteous Artemy, in which his relics were placed [7].

Ikos 1

The people of Antioch marveled at your holy zeal for the name of Christ, glorious Artemy, for they could not bear to see the torment of the saints and hear the blasphemy against the Lord spewed by Julian; Even though you came from Alexandria to honor him, you were not afraid to expose him. Moreover, having been deposed from your military rank for your daring, you accepted the condemnation of wounds and death. Now, as if we are in disgrace to the tormented one, we cry out to you: Rejoice, you who endured disgrace and torment from Julian. Rejoice, clothed in glory and radiance from God.

I pray to Thee, Master, for Thou hast crowned me with Thy sufferings, and may Thou complete my course in confessing to Thee with the song: Alleluia.”

Ikos 3

The evil king gave the command to his squire to capture you, the glorious military leader, Artemy, and take away your high-ranking belt, and take off your vestments, and torture you naked. They, having tied your hand and nose, stretched your body into four and beat you with ox sinews along the ridge and belly, as if their strength had become impoverished. You remained as insensible as everyone standing around, and Julian himself was greatly amazed. Receive from us this laudable surprise: Rejoice, invincible in faith. Rejoice, insurmountable in hope. Rejoice, you who set your nose on the stone of patience. Rejoice, you who courageously corrected your steps. Rejoice, rejoicing in suffering. Rejoice, glorified in reproach.

Ikos 5

And hunger and thirst tormented you in prison, blessed Artemy. But you, who offered yourself the bounty of the Most Blessed Lord, asked for only one thing, and even your very soul, as if the Lord Christ would accept a living sacrifice from you with your remaining blood. And your zeal was not in vain: for the Lord commanded His Angel to nourish you in prison and preserve you, and then He Himself appeared, strengthening you, and teaching us to proclaim to you: Rejoice, you who were fed by the hand of the Angel in prison. Rejoice, strengthened by the bread of animals from heaven. Rejoice, you were healed from your wounds by the Lord’s visit in chains. Rejoice, filled with consolation by the appearance of Christ.

“Since the Lords of my suffering are many, and that I, unworthy, have endured more than Him,” cried blessed Artemy, “He was nailed to the Cross because of sin for my sake, without knowing sin himself, he brought flattery into his mouth. I rejoice and am glad, enlightened by my Lord through the sufferings that ease my illnesses.” Thus the saint, conversing within himself, sang to God all night together with the sufferers Eugene and Macarius: Alleluia.

Ikos 6

The suffering Artemie, the wicked king, betrayed you to the cruelest torment, when he returned with shame from Apollo of Daphnia and heard the mockery and prophecy of his destruction from you, and burst into flames with green rage.

Rejoice, for through you the sweetest name of Christ has been glorified. Rejoice, thou who art not afraid of the fury of torment. Rejoice, in the hope of Christ you laughed at idols. Rejoice, in spirit we prophesy the future to the prophet. Rejoice, dear bearer of the Spirit of the Lord. Rejoice, Saint Artemis, glorious martyr of Christ.

Kontakion 7

The wicked Christian Julian did a lot of mischief, lying to him, as if he had burned the temple of Apollo Daphne. When this liar uttered numerous reproaches against Christians before Artemy, Saint Artemy responded: “God-empty wrath and fire from heaven consumed your idol and burned its temple; I laugh at your madness, as you serve a soulless God, I am comforted by his fall and I rejoice in all of these, even the Christ of miracles, Who deserves to be sung loudly: Alleluia.”

Ikos 7

Unable to bear to hear your righteous words, holy Artemy, the lawless Julian, becoming very angry, commanded the stonecutter to cut the great stone, so that in the midst of its parts you would be bent. And for this, prepared for this, the falling stone will erase your whole body, and your inner being will disintegrate, and all your members will be broken. And without seeing a great miracle, how in such a bend in the middle of the stones you remained alive. We marvel at God’s power, which strengthened you, and cry out: Rejoice, thou trampled bunch of Christ’s grapes in the winepress. Rejoice, living sacrifice, blood poured out to the Lord above the stone. Rejoice, martyr, whose whole body bends like a soul. Rejoice, living tablet, on which the confession of faith was written in blood. Rejoice, you mixed stone with your blood, like clay. Rejoice, you have dedicated yourself to living in the building of the Church of Christ. Rejoice, Saint Artemis, glorious martyr of Christ.

Your eyes have been worn out from torment, holy one, and your face has been erased, but your soul is still strong and your tongue speaks well, even in your oppression you called on God, your Helper, and in trust in Him you cried out: Alleluia.

Ikos 8

The ghost mail you king, when you see the terrible sight and human nature happening; Moreover, I exhort you to worship the idol, so that they will have mercy on you and will not hand you over to torment in hell. You, laughing at the king, answered: “As idols themselves cannot escape fire, with them you, the king, will be betrayed to endless fire.” For a hedgehog, as a blasphemer, the king condemned you to death. We, having descended upon you to the place of beheading, will bind your head with crowns of praise as follows: Rejoice, sufferer, bent among the stones. Rejoice, confessor, not overcome in the strength of faith. Rejoice, you who spoke the truth without fear before the kings. Rejoice, for this you have received truncation by the sword after all the sufferings. Rejoice, you who willfully bowed your sacred head under the sword. Rejoice, having crushed the heads of invisible enemies with your patience. Rejoice, Saint Artemis, glorious martyr of Christ.

Kontakion 9

You were crushed with wounds all over your body, as if people were afraid to look at you: bent like a woman, broken bones, and all your inner devastation. You considered such suffering to be a minor illness, hoping in the Lord that you suffered for what was wrong, to have eternal peace, teaching you not to be faint-hearted in suffering, but to still send gratitude to God: Alleluia.

Ikos 9

“Behold, the wounds of Christ are marked on your body,” the saint said to himself, “for that remains, and I will give my very soul for Christ with the blood that remains in me.” And you offered yourself to the bounty of the Lord, you fearlessly confessed Christ before men, and you joyfully accepted the beheading for being unworthy. For this reason, for your surpassing love for God, we praise you: Rejoice, quick to hear the Gospel of Christ. Rejoice, ready executor of His great commandments. Rejoice, you who showed strong love for the Lord Christ. Rejoice, and joyfully betrayed your soul with blood for Him. Rejoice, strengthen our weakening with your kindness.

Holy Great Martyr Artemy: Life. Prayer to the Great Martyr Artemy

Praise the Lord for sending us such bright saints who, by the example of their pious and righteous lives, showed people the great and saving faith in Christ. And that there is no more reliable and faithful hand, which is always ready to support a poor and weak person and guide him on the path of truth. Next we will talk about two glorified holy men.

One of them, Artemy of Antioch, is a great martyr, while Artemy of Verkolsky is considered a holy righteous youth, but not a great martyr. You need to know this so that you don’t confuse them later and correctly address them in your prayers. Their lives are impressive enough to feel the power of their faith and deeds, let’s get acquainted with it.

Life of the Great Martyr Artemy

The future Saint Artemy was born into a noble Roman family and belonged to the senatorial class.

He was a participant in the battle between Emperor Constantine and Emperor Maxentius, which took place at the Milvian Bridge in 312. At this time, a Cross suddenly appeared in the sky with the inscription: “With this conquer!”

This divine sign made a huge impression on the warrior Artemy and converted him to Christianity.

Great Martyr Artemius was a famous military leader during the reign of the Roman emperors Constantine I (306-337) and his son Constantius (337-361). With them, he was a close adviser and confidant.

For his faithful service, he was awarded certificates and made the head of Egypt, endowed with special powers.

On behalf of the ruler Constantius, with great honors, he transported the relics of the holy apostles Andrew the First-Called and Luke from Patras to Constantinople.

Julian the Apostate

But after the reign of Emperor Constantius, Julian the Apostate (361-363) ascended the throne, a pagan who began to wage a cruel and irreconcilable struggle against Christianity. Executions began everywhere, hundreds of Christians were doomed to a painful death. In Antioch, he ordered two bishops who did not renounce their faith in Christ to be tortured.

It was at this time that the Great Martyr Artemy came to the city; the widespread executions of Christians could not leave his noble heart indifferent. And he openly began to denounce the ruler Julian for dishonor, cruelty and pagan errors. Then the angry emperor accused him of complicity in the murder of his older brother Gall.

He was immediately arrested, then they cruelly mocked him for a long time, and after that they imprisoned him.

When the holy Great Martyr Artemy once again prayed to his Lord, Jesus Christ himself appeared to him with the angels and said that he should take heart, since He would deliver him from all the pain that his tormentors had caused him, and that a crown of glory was prepared for him.

For just as he preached Christ before the people, so He will also confess him before the Heavenly Father. And Christ added that he should be courageous and rejoice, since he would soon be with Him in His Kingdom.

And he healed him, because he, wounded by torture, had been without food or nourishment for a long time, fed only by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Execution

After this, the Great Martyr Artemy, delighted by such news, began to fervently glorify and thank the Lord. The next day he was again brought to Julian to force the strong and glorious warrior to bow and sacrifice to the pagan gods. But, having achieved nothing, he again subjected him to terrible and painful torture. But the great ascetic endured all the suffering without a single cry or groan.

The Great Martyr Artemy of Antioch predicted to Julian that he would soon be overtaken by the just punishment of God for the numerous evils that he had caused to Christians. From these words, the emperor became even more fierce and again ordered the faithful Christian to be tortured, but he could not break his will.

At this time, in Antioch, a pagan temple, the sanctuary of Apollo in Daphne, burned down from fire that fell from the sky. Julian, taking advantage of the opportunity, immediately blamed the Christians for this. And he ordered execution for Saint Artemy (362). First they crushed him with a stone, and then cut off his head with a sword.

Retribution

Soon after this, the Roman governor was also struck. The prophecies of Saint Artemy came true exactly one year later. Julian and his army, leaving Antioch, went to fight the Persians.

Approaching the city of Ctesiphon, they met an old Persian who asked to be Julian’s guide, promising to betray his fellow citizens for a small reward.

But as it turned out later, he deceived them and led the soldiers into the wild, impassable Karmanite desert, where there was neither water nor food. The Greco-Roman troops, hungry and exhausted from the heat, entered into a forced battle with the Persian forces, which were well prepared for the meeting.

In a battle with the Persians, a cavalry spear cut his arm, pierced his ribs and lodged in his liver. As a result, Julian, struck down by an invisible hand, groaned heavily and uttered the words before his death: “You have won, Galilean!”

Finding the relics

After the death of the tyrant, the relics of the holy great martyr Artemia were taken from Antioch along with the Christians by the deaconess Arista and took them to Constantinople. Later they were buried in the Church of St. John the Baptist, which was built by Emperor Anastasius I, which later received a second name in honor of the Holy Great Martyr Artemy.

Today the name of the saint is held in special esteem in the city of Patras. The Day of the Great Martyr Artemy is celebrated on October 20 (November 2). He is considered the patron saint of the city and the founder of the monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Girokomiou. On this day, a solemn commemoration is always performed, prayers and an akathist to the Great Martyr Artemy are read. Numerous miracles are performed from his holy relics.

Icons and prayers

On icons, the Great Martyr Artemy is traditionally depicted with long hair and a forked short beard, wearing military armor and a himation. But there are other interpretations.

The prayer to the Great Martyr Artemy begins with the words: “Holy servant of God, Artemy the Righteous!” The second is “Holy Martyr Artemis!”

For the first time, the life of the holy great martyr and warrior Artemius was described by John of Rhodes at the end of the 10th century, then it was processed and supplemented by Simeon Metaphrastus. The ancient Byzantine historians Ammianus Marcellinus and Philostorgius also reported on Saint Artemia of Antioch.

In 1073, a particle of his relics was found by the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery. It is also known that holy relics were found in the reliquary cross of the Russian Emperor Mikhail Fedorovich, which became the blessing of Patriarch Philaret.

Saint Artemy Verkolsky

In 1532, in the pious family of villagers Cosmas (nicknamed Maly) and Apollinaria in the village of Verkole, near the Pinega River in the Dvina District, a son was born, who was named Artemy.

His parents raised him in good Christian traditions. He was an obedient, meek and God-fearing child, who from the age of five did not like all kinds of children's pranks and fun.

He diligently, as much as he could at his young age, helped his father with the housework.

On June 23, 1545, twelve-year-old Artemy was working with his father in the field, when suddenly lightning flashed nearby and thunder struck, at which time the boy fell to the ground dead. The frightened, superstitious peasants considered this incident to be a punishment from Heaven, and therefore Artemy’s body, covered with brushwood and birch bark, was left untreated and unburied in the forest called Sosonia.

Holy relics

A little over thirty years after Artemy’s death in 1577, Deacon Agafonik, who served in the local church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, saw an unusual glow in the forest exactly above the place where Artemy’s remains were once left.

Thus, the incorrupt body of the holy youth Artemy was found, which the people brought and placed on the porch of the church of St. Nicholas in Verkola. The Lord glorified him with miracles, as a result of which in 1639 Metropolitan Cyprian sent an order to the “local” clergy to compile obvious evidence, which was soon delivered to the metropolitan.

And the next year he sent the “created festival” - stichera, litia, poems, glory books, troparion, ikos, kontakion, luminaries, praises and singing under the banner.

Prayers and miracles

Through the prayers of Saint Artemy, many sick people were healed, and especially those who suffered from eye diseases. One day, a resident of Kholmogory, Hilarion, came to the temple, having lost his sight and completely despairing of getting it back.

And so on the day of St. Nicholas, righteous Artemy appeared to the sufferer with a cross in his right hand, in his left with a staff, overshadowing the sick man with the cross, and told him that Christ had healed him by the hand of His servant Artemy.

And he sent the townsman to go to Verkola to bow to his coffin and tell the priest and peasants about what had happened.

The patient recovered immediately. In 1584, admirers of the holy youth transferred his holy relics from the porch of the temple to the built area.

The Mezen governor Pashkov Afanasy, for the healing of his sick son, in gratitude to the saint, built a temple in honor of the holy great martyr Artemy, the heavenly patron of the holy and righteous youth.

In 1619, the relics of the saint were examined and on December 6 transferred to a new church, which burned down 30 years later, but in 1649, on the site of the found relics, a monastery was built under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, where the relics were also delivered.

There is a legend that the holy youth had a sister, the righteous wonderworker Paraskeva of Piriminskaya.

Now the memory of Saint Artemy is celebrated on June 23 (the day of presentation) and October 20 (the day of memory of the namesake Great Martyr Artemy).
