Topic: Prokhor


  
  Prokhor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prokhor from Gorodets (Прохор, Прохор с Городца in Russian) was a medieval Russian icon-painter, thought to have been the teacher of Andrei Rublev.
Together with Rublev and Feofan Grek, Prokhor painted a number of frescos in the old Cathedral of the Annunciation in the Moscow Kremlin in 1405 (the cathedral was rebuilt in 1416).
Russian historians attribute a number of icons in the iconostasis of this cathedral to Prokhor, including "Crucifixion", "Ascension" and "Assumption", which can still be found in today's Cathedral of the Annunciation.

 From stories by old Prokhor (Female Single Combat Club)
Prokhor was born in the beginning of 1890s and had very difficult life (like the most of Russian people of his age).
Prokhor's wife was tall and shapely but she was timid and at the beginning she was unable to answer Vasiliha in dignity.
As Prokhor knocked Vasily down first time (and the rule was to fight until three knockdowns or until first blood) Vasiliha literally got mad and screamed that Prokhor violated the rules and that he was not a real man but a sissy and that his wife was a bitch.

Since his childhood, saint Prokhor loved to attend church services and read the Holy Scriptures and the history of martyrs and saints, but he loved to pray in solitude most of all.
Under the spiritual elder's guidance, saint Prokhor took many monasterial obediences: that of a lay-brother; he also worked in the monastery's bread and prosphora bakeries, and in the joiner's shop, discharged the duty of a bell-ringer.
Saint Prokhor made the holy table of the aisle of cypress tree, and he always received the Communion in the church.

Once she took the seven-year-old Prokhor there with her, and he fell from the scaffolding around the seven-storey bell tower.
Under his direction Prokhor passed through many obediences at the monastery: he was the Elder's cell-attendant, he toiled at making bread and prosphora, and at carpentry.
After eight years as a novice at the Sarov monastery, Prokhor was tonsured with the name Seraphim, a name reflecting his fiery love for the Lord and his zealous desire to serve Him.

The next day, when, after serving Matins, the hierarch Prokhor was about to board the boat to continue his journey, they began to search for his staff, but could not find it anywhere.
He brought the icon into the church, and ordained that it be celebrated on the date of its appearance.
Around this church, Prokhor established the Tolga Monastery, which at the present time is a convent.

Prokhor Moshnin, later to become Father Seraphim, was the youngest of three children born to a devout Orthodox couple in the city of Kursk.
Once, he was miraculously preserved from injury after falling from a high scaffold; another time, after seeing the Virgin Mary by his bedside, he recovered from a serious illness as her icon was carried past his home in a street procession.
Drawn to the Scriptures and the writings of the Church Fathers, Prokhor decided to become a monk and was received into the monastery at Sarov in 1778.

It is all very well and good to pursue these high-minded scientific theories, but research grants are expensive and you must justify your existence by providing not only knowledge, but concrete and profitable applications as well.
But when, once every hundred million years or so, the neural net at last achieves the critical mass necessary to become sentient, the final metamorphosis kills off most of the other life on the planet.
