The ancient Slavic saint, Venerable Agapit of Pechersk, the Merciless Doctor, was the first Doctor of Kievan Rus, who lived in the 11th century, whose incorruptible relics are in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. For a thousand years now, the flow of people to his relics has not stopped, not only Orthodox believers, but also representatives of other religions and confessions, and even those who consider themselves an atheist. What is the secret of such an amazing influence of the Saint on people? What is the phenomenon of Agapit of Pechersk?

Thanks to these works, many people from different countries of the world learned about the enormous spiritual contribution that Agapit of Pechersk made to the life of society, about the greatness of his spiritual feat, which affected the destinies of many people. Books by Anastasia Novykh, filled with extraordinary power and primordial knowledge. With their blessed words they heal the soul, nourish it with the power of love and faith, with their wisdom they give support in life and fill it with meaning. They contribute to the spiritual transformation of a person.

Agapit of Pechersk (Bezmezdnik) (? - June 1, 1095) - monk of the Kiev Pechersk Monastery, unpaid doctor.

Holy Russian Orthodox Church, venerated in the ranks of the saints, commemorated (according to the Julian calendar) on June 1 and September 28 (Cathedral of the Reverend Fathers of the Kiev-Pechersk Near Caves).

According to the Kiev-Pechersk Patericon, Agapit was from Kyiv, and took monastic vows at the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery during the life of St. Anthony (i.e., no later than 1073).

Agapit, considered the first healer (doctor) of Kievan Rus, became famous for his free help to the sick, and gained great fame for healing seriously ill patients through prayer and boiled byla (herb), which he gave to the sick. According to his life, he healed the Chernigov prince - Vladimir Monomakh, the grandson of Yaroslav the Wise.

An Armenian doctor who had extensive practice and was at enmity with Agapit, seeing many healings through prayer, converted to Orthodoxy and became a monk. The relics of Agapit rest in the Antoniev (Near) caves of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

The local canonization of Agapit dates back to the time of the compilation of the Kiev-Pechersk Patericon (the first third of the 13th century), church-wide veneration began after the Holy Synod gave permission in the second half of the 18th century to include the names of a number of Kyiv saints in the general church monthbooks. However, in the modern Typikon of the Russian Orthodox Church the memory of St. Agapit is not noted.

THE LIFE OF OUR REVEREND FATHER
AGAPITH OF PECHERSKY, FREE DOCTOR

When our reverend father Anthony of Pechersk was glorified with the gift of healing, blessed Agapit came to his cave from Kyiv, wanting to receive spiritual healing through tonsure into the monastic rank; having received what he desired, he followed with all his heart the angelic life of St. Anthony, guided by his instructions.

Agapit was an eyewitness to how this great man himself ministered to the sick and healed them with his prayer, and, hiding the gift given to his prayer, he gave herbs from his food to the sick under the guise of medicine. Seeing this, blessed Agapit began to compete with the holy elder in exploits and worked for many years; when one of the brethren was praised, the blessed one left his cell, in which there was nothing that could be stolen, came to the sick brother and served him: he lifted him, laid him down, carried him out in his arms, and incessantly prayed to God for the healing of the sick man ; if the illness sometimes dragged on, then through this the Lord wanted to increase faith and strengthen the prayer of His servant Agapit. Imitating the exploits of the Monk Anthony, blessed Agapit was honored to be a participant and equal to his grace: with his prayer he healed all the sick, also giving them herbs, which he boiled for his own food, for which, in fact, he was nicknamed the doctor. Rumor spread about him in Kyiv, and many sick people came to him, leaving healthy.

At that time there lived in Kyiv a certain doctor, an Armenian by origin and faith, so skilled in his work that previously there was no equal to him. It was enough for him to look at someone suffering from a mortal illness, as he immediately recognized and announced the day and hour of his death, and always unmistakably; He never wanted to treat such a patient. One of the sick of this kind, the first boyar of the Grand Duke Vsevolod, whom the Armenian plunged into despair by predicting death in eight days, was brought to the Pechersky Monastery.

But blessed Agapit, having made a prayer for him, gave him herbs for food, which he himself ate and healed him; and immediately his fame spread throughout the Russian land. The Armenian, wounded by the arrow of envy, began to reproach the blessed one and sent one condemned to death to the Pechersk Monastery, who was supposed to take poison before Agapit and die. The blessed one, seeing this man dying, gave him, with a prayer for him, the herb that he himself had eaten, and thereby delivered the doomed man from death. Since then, the Armenian especially armed himself against the blessed one and persuaded his fellow believers to give Agapit himself a drink laced with mortal poison; the blessed one accepted and remained unharmed. “The Lord knows how to deliver the godly from temptation” (2 Pet. 2:9) according to His word: “If they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them” (Mark 16:18).

Then Prince Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh fell ill in Chernigov. The Armenian, although he diligently treated him, was unsuccessful, so that the illness increased more and more. Already at the point of his death, the prince asked the then abbot of Pechersk, John, to send Blessed Agapit to him in Chernigov for healing. The abbot called him and informed him of the prince’s request, but blessed Agapit, whom no one had ever seen leaving the gate to heal outside the monastery, said with humility:
- If I go to the prince for this matter, then I must go to everyone. I ask you, father, do not encourage me to go beyond the monastery gates for the sake of human glory, which I promised before God to avoid until my last breath. If you allow, it would be better for me to retire to another country and then return here again when this need passes.
The prince sent, convinced that he would not be able to call the blessed Agapit himself to his master, began to ask him to at least give herbs for healing. According to the abbot’s convictions, the blessed one gave the messenger herbs from his food; They were brought to the prince, the latter partook and immediately recovered, through the prayers of the blessed one.
Then Prince Vladimir Monomakh himself came to the Pechersky Monastery, wanting to see the one through whom God restored his health; he had never met the blessed one before and now wanted to honor him by generously giving him gifts. But Agapit, not wanting earthly glory, disappeared; then the prince gave the abbot the gold he had brought for the saint of God.

But after a little time, the same Vladimir again sent one of his boyars with many gifts to Blessed Agapit. The messenger found Saint Agapit in his cell and placed the prince’s gifts before him. The blessed one told him:
- Child, I never took anything from anyone (for healing), because I healed not with my own power, but with Christ’s; I don’t demand this even now.
The boyar answered:
- Father. He who sent me knows that you do not demand anything; but I beg you to accept this in order to comfort your son, to whom God gave health through you; give the gift, if you wish, to the poor.
The elder answered him:
- If you say so, I will accept it with joy. Tell the one who sent you that everything else he has is someone else’s, and he will not take anything with him when he gives up his life; therefore let him distribute the rest to the poor. For the Lord Himself, Who is among the destitute, delivered him from death, but I on my own would not have had any success; and I ask that he not disobey these instructions of mine, so as not to suffer more severely.

With these words, blessed Agapit took the gold he brought and left the cell with it, as if to hide it; carried it out and threw it away, but he himself ran and disappeared. After a little time, the boyar came out, saw the gifts thrown in front of the gate, picked them up and gave them to Abbot John. Returning to the prince, he told him everything that he had seen with the blessed one and what he had heard from him; and everyone understood that this was a true servant of God, seeking reward from God alone, and not from people. The prince, not daring to disobey the saint, began to distribute generous alms to the poor.

After many godly works and deeds, the unpaid doctor himself, the blessed elder Agapit, fell into illness. Having learned about this, the aforementioned Armenian doctor came to visit him and began to argue with him about the art of medicine, asking what remedy was used to treat Agapit’s illness.
The blessed one answered:
- To those to whom the Lord Himself, the physician of soul and body, gives health.
The Armenian considered him completely ignorant of healing and said to those accompanying him:
- He knows nothing about our art.
Then he took him by the hand and said:
- I tell the truth: on the third day he will die; if my word changes, then I will change my life, and I myself will become the same monk.
The blessed one said passionately:
- So this is your method of healing: talk more about death than about help! If you are skilled, give me life; If you cannot do this, why do you humiliate me and condemn me to death on the third day? The Lord informed me that in three months I would go to Him.
The Armenian said to him again:
- Now you’ve already changed completely; these never survive more than three days.

Saint Agapit was truly in extreme exhaustion, so that without outside help he could not even move. Meanwhile, a certain sick person from Kyiv was brought to Blessed Agapit, who was the most seriously ill. The blessed one, with God's help, immediately stood up, as if he were not sick at all, took his usual herb, which he had eaten, and showed it to the Armenian, saying:
- This is the herb with which I heal: look and understand.
He looked and said to the saint:
- This is not one of our herbs, but, I think, from Alexandria.
The blessed one, condemning his ignorance, gave the sick man a taste of herbs, prayed and immediately made him healthy. Then he said to the Armenian:
“My son, I ask you to taste this herb with me, if you want, for I cannot treat you with anything else.”
“Father,” the Armenian answered him, “we are fasting for four days this month, and now I am fasting.”
Hearing this, the blessed one asked him:
- Who are you, and what faith?
He answered:
- Haven’t you heard about me that I’m Armenian?
Then the blessed one said to him:
- How dare you come here and desecrate my cell, and even hold me by my sinful hand? Get away from me, you infidel and wicked.
And he, disgraced, left.
After that, blessed Agapit lived, as he had previously predicted, for three months and, having become slightly ill, went to the Lord. Being a free doctor on earth, he accepted a great reward in heaven, where there is no disease. The brethren prepared his honorable body for burial and, with the usual singing, laid it in the cave of the Monk Anthony.

After the death of the saint, an Armenian came to the Pechersk Monastery and said to the abbot:
- From now on, I leave the Armenian heresy and truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, for Whom I wish to work in the holy monastic rite. Blessed Agapit appeared to me and said:
- You promised to take on a monastic image; if you lie, you will destroy both life and soul. I believe that the one who appeared to me is holy, and if he wanted to live here longer, God would have granted it to him. I believed that he would not survive three days, but God added three months to him, and if he had wished, he would have lived three years. But I think that he himself, as a saint, wanted to leave us, striving for the Kingdom of Saints, and if God removed him from his temporary life in this monastery, for that he granted him eternal life in the mansions of heaven. Therefore, I wish to quickly fulfill the command of this holy man.

The abbot, having listened to the Armenian, tonsured him as a monk and for a long time instructed the physician of the body, so that, following the blessed Agapit, he would be skilled in healing his soul. The Armenian labored in a godly asceticism and, having spent the rest of his life in the same Pechersk monastery, here he accepted a blessed death, betraying his soul into the hands of the doctor of souls and bodies, our Lord Jesus Christ, glorified with the beginningless Father and with the Most Holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen.

It is believed that the Holy Spirit descends into the body of Agapit of Pechersk on February 25th of each year and remains in it for 7 days. At this time, the body of Agapit of Pechersk emits especially powerful energy. This week it is recommended to read the Soul-Saving Prayer, transmitted to Agapit by his mentor, Saint Anthony.

Soul-Saving Prayer

My True Father,
I trust in You alone,
And I pray to You, Lord,
Only about saving your soul.

May Your Holy Will be done
By strengthening me on this path,
For life without You is an empty moment
And only in serving You is eternal life.

Amen!

Miraculous Portrait of Agapit of Pechersk

Even the portrait of Agapit of Pechersk is unusual. His eyes are alive and seem to look into your soul. The most interesting thing is that many people see different expressions in their eyes - for some it seems that he is smiling (most often at children), for others he sees a serious gaze, for others he frowns. It’s as if you are looking into the eyes of your Conscience and cannot look away.

After the publication of Anastasia Novykh’s book with a portrait on the back, there are already several dozen rather mysterious cases of help that came through this portrait.

Here are some reviews from readers of the newspaper “Panteleimon the Healer”, which at one time published excerpts from books, and forums based on books by Anastasia Novykh -

“One of the employees was so enamored with the portrait of the Saint that even before the book was published, she printed it out on a color printer, placing it in a frame at home, and subsequently noted that her little child stopped crying over trifles and became more smiling and calm. "

“I recently printed out a color photo of “Agapit” and hung it above my desk. When my little niece came to see me, she immediately drew her attention to the photo, looked a little and said: “Uncle, look, grandpa is laughing at me,” and I immediately noticed how very happy she was. That’s it, it’s not for nothing that they say that children are closer to God...”

Here is another mysterious case that can only be called a miracle -
“I really love Anastasia Novykh’s books. They support me in difficult times. Therefore, I was happy to purchase and read the new book. And again I made a lot of important notes in it. The image of Agapit of Pechersk on the cover simply captivated me. I placed the book in a prominent place at home so that I could constantly see this good-natured, warm look of the Saint. But after a while something completely unexpected happened.

That day I was going to spend the evening in a cafe with my “old” friends. They came to pick me up as usual. I started getting ready. And when I accidentally looked at Agapit, I saw that his gaze was somehow stern, not the same as always. My soul felt somehow unpleasant. And when, having gotten dressed, I was already heading to the door, suddenly this book fell from the shelf in front of me, as if blocking the way. To be honest, I’m not superstitious, but at that moment I was gripped by mystical fear. Agapit's face was still stern.

I put the book on the shelf, thought about it and decided to stay home, citing being unwell. I tried to persuade my friends to stay, but they flatly refused. When they left, for the first time in my life I began to pray for them as best I could, in my own words, so that nothing would happen to them. And later I found out that that evening they were in a terrible accident. It's a miracle that none of them were hurt!
Of course, all this can be called an accident. But personally, I began to take such things more seriously. If you analyze the entire chain, starting with how this book came to me...”

“I tried to make a printout, back in the summer. But to my surprise, these color photocopies did not stay with me for a long time; I had to either “give them as souvenirs” to good patients who showed interest in this portrait, or friends “confiscated” them for their home. So it was not possible to draw objective conclusions. But I can say that while the photocopy was standing in the office, the “bad” people did not stay there longer than three or four minutes (apparently they could not stand the “gaze of Agapit”). At least two people, clearly negative natures, who did not know each other, showed the same behavior: within the first two minutes of the visit they began to show unusual fussiness, and each of them found their own reason to urgently leave the office ."

“I showed the painting “Agapit” to my grandmother when she was visiting us. She really liked it. He says Agapit’s eyes are very kind, PRAYED!!!”

“Obviously, everything depends on the internal state of a person. As they say, the one who is with God in his soul, the Saint smiles at him, and his eyes are a clear help and support. And for those who have an internal conflict or a clear preponderance of the negative, their eyes are like a reproach to their conscience.”

“Agapit Pechersky printed the picture and placed it in the office. The printer is black and white. About a week later, the employee asked to remove the painting to another place because she did not like Agapit’s look. In a joking tone, he said that the look of the saint awakens in her a feeling of guilt for her sins... A controversy broke out in the office on the topic of the church, sin, etc. The picture was moved to another place. Periodically I look at her and say a prayer. The eyes are really alive... Today this employee said that she had a dream in which she looked at a picture and realized that Agapit’s eyes were kind and wise, it’s just that the shadow that was drawn under Agapit’s eyes and enhanced by a black and white printer prevented her from seeing content (I paid attention first to the form). In the dream, the shadow was removed from the picture and she understood everything!!!”

Amen.

Song 1

Irmos: As Israel walked across the abyss on dry ground, seeing the persecutor Pharaoh drowned, we sing a victorious song to God, crying out.

Just as long ago, with your touch, You gave me the right to speak, for this and for me, O Christ, loosen my tongue, open my mind, so that I may bring praise to the memory of Your saint, singing with love.

I cannot clearly sing of your grace, reverend, unless you give me help through your prayers, so that I may glorify the Lord, who gave you the grace of healing, by singing in praise.

By foreknowledge, you were called, holy one, to follow your Lord and, following that, leaving all the red of the world, you came to the great Anthony with love and lived with him, singing constant praise to God.

Having followed the earthly angel and the heavenly man, you yourself have acquired angelic life, reverend father. Thus we honor your corrections and glorify all the Lord, singing a song to Him about you.

Theotokos: Glorified by the earthly and heavenly powers, Ever-Virgin, on this day, those who dare to bring praise to You, preserve them from all excuses, so that we may sing to You, O Joyful One.

Song 3

Irmos: There is no one holy like You, O Lord my God, who has lifted up the horn of Your faithful, O Good One, and established us on the rock of Your confession.

For many years you went through many labors, O Agapita, you labored in vigil and fasting, until you seemed like one to your mentor and from him you established yourself on the rock of a solid life.

Nothing else, except that you have poverty, you followed Christ, who became poor for our sake, Father, and, keeping His commandments, you served the sick, visiting and resting, and thus giving health through your prayer.

Living with the monk, you gained veneration, worthy of Agapita, and you were honored with healing gifts, as through prayer and potions you gave health to the sick, and you were also called a gratuitous doctor.

You have glorified God in your lands, O Reverend, and God has also glorified you with the grace of healing, so that you heal our mental and physical ailments, so that we may be established on the rock of confession of God.

Theotokos: Who has brought forth the animal tree, the fruit of us, deadened by sins, revive and grant us, O Pure Mother, a strong confession of Thy goodness.

Sedalen, voice 4

As you receive the gift of healing from God, you give healing to those who suffer, who flow to you with faith. In the same way, we, bowing to the race of your relics, Reverend Father, ask you to receive healing from us for our illness.

Song 4

Irmos: Christ is my strength, God and Lord, the honest Church sings divinely, crying out, pure in meaning, celebrating in the Lord.

Christ chose the spirit of this world, that He might put to shame the wise, which may also come true for you, O all-blessed father: for it was by grace, and not by the cunning of the wise, that you put to shame the doctor. Thus we glorify you, celebrating the Lord.

Be deceived, who deceive the sick first, informing them of the day and hour of death, whom you have reproached, reverend, you healed the sick one with prayer and potions, saying: give glory to God, who has the key of life and death.

The wicked Armenian is wounded by the arrow of envy, reproached, O holy one, and having sent him to death, he ordered him to be killed before you with deadly force. But you healed this one with prayer and potion, and you put to shame the heretic who wanted to put you to shame.

To the one who stumbles, the grace given to you will fall, most blessed, especially since the wicked Armenian armed himself against you, in his ear to give you poison, but you, even having drunk deathly, were unharmed, as God’s grace preserved you for greater miracles.

Theotokos: Rejoice, vessel that bore the ointment that healed the human race, revive me by sinful poison, so that I may live the rest of the time intact, praising Thee, O Virgin.

Song 5

Irmos: With Thy God's light, O Blessed One, illumine the souls of Thy morning with love, I pray, Lead Thee, the Word of God, the true God, crying out from the darkness of sin.

Receive the grace of healing from God, you healed the prince, even though we were healed by the Armenian, but received no more joy, having tasted your potion, you got rid of your illness.

Behold, monastics, and wonder at the virtuous patience of the God-bearing father, how, with the renunciation of the world, he renounced his will and never left the monastery gates, and if you see it, you will be jealous of this.

Having one love for everyone, and not in vain on your face, even if you were a prince, even if you were simple in coming to you, reverend, you gave healing to everyone who came, seeking only retribution from God.

The prince accept your healing, all-blessed, understanding, for you are a true servant of God, and you desire to see you, so I will come to you with gifts. But you, having only God, wanted to accept nothing from those gifts.

Theotokos: We praise Thee, Most Pure Virgin, for You have opened for us the doors of Thy mercy and given to all an unenviable source of healing, delivering us from the poison of sin.

Song 6

Irmos: The sea of life, raised in vain by misfortunes and storms, flowed to Your quiet refuge, crying out to You: lift up my belly from aphids, O Most Merciful One.

Having left all the corruption of this world, you have cast out the brought gold, O blessed one, before the gates of your cell, spewing out your beloved enemy and erasing that murderous head.

Having acquired one valuable bead - Jesus, you have attributed everything to your mind, O Holy One, and thus you have bought yourself a settlement in Heaven, which we also pray to receive through your prayers, Father.

Having fasted for many years, you were exhausted in body, reverend, but you remained strong in spirit, like a pillar, enduring everything that was done and thanking God, you cried out to Him: lift up my belly from aphids, O Many-merciful One.

Sick in body, you took on the evil Armenian in spirit, who for three days proclaimed death to you, whom you, blessed one, overcame, proclaiming your departure to God for three months.

Theotokos: We resort to Your refuge, O Blessed Virgin, carry the waves of worldly passions that You have tamed, so that we may sing to You: Rejoice, refuge of worldly voyages.

Kontakion, tone 6

This doctor is remarkable, wonderful, revealing your undoubted faith, denouncing the Armenian unbelief and leading him to piety. When you were near death, you asked God for the continuation of your life and, having thus miraculously assured him, you brought him to Christ, standing before Him in joy, praying about us, reverend.

Song 7

Irmos: The angel made the venerable cave into a venerable youth, and the Chaldeans exhorted the scorching command of God to the tormentor to cry out: Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers.

Having the gift from above to heal ailments, reverend, heal me when I am sick through neglect of good deeds, just as you sometimes healed someone who was brought in sickness, by prayer giving him health and singing: blessed is God our father.

Working miracles with the saints, the Creator of the creature suddenly presented you in health before the wicked, who, having seen, was surprised at your quick change from illness to health. I am tormented by the sores of cold affairs, bring about a change of correction by your visit, Father, from above, so that I sing: blessed is God our father.

Your illness and the potion you eat force you to confess your wickedness to the doctor, whom you reproached for daring to touch your holy hand; Behold, I dare to come to you, father, but I pray to you: do not reject me in my needs, but I sing: blessed is God our father.

Having gathered the fruits of your labors with joy, like a good farmer, you departed with a blessed death to receive a gift from Christ God on Heaven and you received endless joy from Him, much more wonderful than Agapit.

Theotokos: Into Your womb, Most Immaculate Virgin, the indwelling Word brought the human race into the Heavenly courts. Beg Him from corruption to bring me to this life, where the saints are fed with a stream of sweetness.

Song 8

Irmos: You poured out dew from the flames of the saints and burned the righteous sacrifice with water: you did everything, O Christ, only as you wished. We extol You forever.

You were a doctor, wonderful father, treating bodily illnesses, living in this life with your body, and after your death, giving spiritual healing, just as you showed this to the Armenian, giving his soul healing and punishment for piety.

Seeing you, holy one, the Armenian in a wonderful vision, confessed clearly that you are holy and reverent, and converted to faith out of unbelief, so that the monk was your direction, which you do not deprive us of, who sing to the Lord forever.

Having many gifts, you worked miracles, healing the sick, but now, having been granted great gifts, apply a plaster to the wounds of my soul, so that, having received weakness, I exalt the Lord forever.

From the fiery light grant streams of grace to the saints, O Christ God, quench my scorching passions with the dew of Your bounty, dispelling the darkness of passions. Behold, the venerable one prays with us to You, the Lord, exalted of all forever.

Theotokos: Having enlightened the world with Your most pure Nativity, dispelled the darkness of my atrocities, pouring out to me rich mercy for the benefit of Your bounties, may I exalt You, Mother of God, forever.

Song 9

Irmos: It is impossible for a man to see God; the angels do not dare to look at him; By You, O All-Pure One, the Word incarnate as man, Who magnifies Him, with the Heavenly Ones we please You.

People who have God-given healing, let no one come to vain doctors, who damage property and health, but demand with faith, let him come to the race of the God-bearing Father and receive healing.

Thoughtful uranish robbers now, unhealed because we have ulcers, we undoubtedly fall to your many-wonderful race, O Reverend, and ask: grant healing to those who demand, so that we all praise and magnify you.

Having ascended into the Mountain with your soul, into the all-luminous palaces, you left, most blessed, the shrine of your relics in the cave; To whom we worship, we ask: grant healing to our illness, and let us magnify you with songs.

Do not despise those who ask for help from you in their infirmities, but by your visit give spiritual and physical healing together, most blessed Agapit, like an excellent doctor, let us exalt you.

Theotokos: Do not despise those who ask for help from You, O Virgin, but give with faith to those who flow to You: for You are an inexhaustible source of healing, so that You and the Heavenly powers may ever be magnified.

Svetilen

Having left the corruptible of the world and being worthy of acceptance, you strived to exchange something worse for a better one, becoming poor in passionate love, but enriched by the gift of healing, and give this to us, today, to those who honor your memory, to the all-blessed Agapita.

Many people who are suffering and in need of the help of the godly healer Agapit of Pechersk come to venerate his sacred relics and pray in his cave... The shrine with the relics of Agapit is located in the nearby Anthony Caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

When St. Petersburg became famous Anthony of Pechersk, with his healings, blessed Agapit came to him from Kyiv to the cave, seeking from him spiritual healing through tonsure into the holy monastic order. Having taken monastic vows, Agapit became a zealous disciple of his venerable and God-bearing father Anthony. Just as that great one, hiding his holiness, treated the sick with his food, pretending to give them medicinal herbs, and the sick became healthy through his prayer, so this blessed Agapit, jealous of the holy elder, helped the sick. Agapit first labored in a cave near St. Anthony, where he studied the high life of the wonderful ascetic, then moved to the monastery cell and served the brethren. When one of the brethren fell ill, the blessed one left his cell and, coming to the sick brother, served him in everything, constantly praying to God for the salvation of the sick one. If the illness continued—it was God’s will to strengthen the faith and prayer of His servant—blessed Agapit relentlessly remained with the sick man, constantly praying for him, while the Lord gave health to the sick man through his prayer. Thus, following the exploits of the Monk Anthony, Agapit received from God the gift of the same grace. He began to heal all the sick with his prayer, giving potions from his table. That's why they started calling him a doctor.
His fame spread throughout the city, and many, coming to him, received healings. At that time in the city of Kyiv there was a certain Armenian doctor, a man very skilled in healing. Just by looking at the patient, he immediately recognized the day and hour of his death, and if the patient was already hopeless, then, knowing this, he did not undertake to treat him.
One day, a sick boyar of Prince Vsevolod was brought to the Pechersky Monastery. The Armenian doctor drove this patient into despair by predicting his death in eight days. Blessed Agapit, having prayed over him and given him a potion to eat, which he himself ate, healed him of his illness. From that time on, the fame of the blessed doctor spread throughout the Russian land.
The Armenian, consumed with envy, began to revile the blessed one. He sent the man sentenced to death to the monastery, ordering him to be given poison so that he, having taken it, would die in front of Agapit. The blessed one, giving this dying man monastic food, made him healthy and delivered the condemned man from death. After that, the gentile armed himself against Agapit even more powerfully: he taught his fellow believers to kill the monk with poison. But the blessed one drank without harm, without suffering in the least. The message is that the Lord delivers the pious from death (3 Pet. 2:9). He said: “Even if they drink something mortal, it does not harm them; They will lay them on sick hands and be healthy.”
Prince Vladimir Monomakh, then reigning in Chernigov (the future Grand Duke of Kiev), became ill. An Armenian treated him and used all his efforts, all the means of art, but the disease not only did not soften, but became more dangerous hour by hour. The prince, feeling that he was close to death, sent to the Pechersk abbot John with a request to send Agapit the doctor to him. “If I go to the prince,” reasoned Blessed Agapit, “then I must go to everyone. Human glory is dangerous. I will not go beyond the gates of the monastery, so as not to break my vow. If they kick me out, I’ll go the other way and come back again.” He sent the prince some boiled meat, which he had prepared for himself as food. The prince recovered. The healed Vladimir came to thank the Monk Agapit, but he, fearing human glory, disappeared. The prince gave what he had brought for the saint. Agapit's gifts to the abbot. Then, vividly feeling how much he owed to St. Agapit, ordered the boyar to take the gold to his cell. "My son! - the monk said to the messenger. “I don’t charge anyone for treatment—nothing at all: Christ the Lord heals, not me.” The messenger asked to accept the prince's gifts for his consolation and to use them at his discretion. “So be it,” said Agapit, “tell the prince not to save the treasures. What are they for? Let him distribute them to the poor; If
If he doesn’t listen to me, it will be bad for him. The Lord, who delivered him from death, does not like ingratitude.” The elder took gold out of his cell and put it
at the door, and disappeared. The messenger also went out and, seeing the abandoned gold, took it to Abbot John. The prince, not daring to disobey St. Agapit, began to mercilessly distribute his property to the poor.
After many works and deeds pleasing to God, the unpaid doctor himself, the blessed elder Agapit, fell ill. The Armenian doctor then came to him, as if for a visit, and began to argue with him about medical tricks, asking: “What potion is used to cure this illness?” The blessed one answered: “To those whom the Lord will indicate—the Physician of soul and body.” Then the Armenian, considering the monk to be ignorant in healing, said to his people: “He understands nothing about this art.” Then, taking St. Agapit by the hand, said: “Truly I tell you that on the third day you will die. If my word changes, then I myself will change my life and will be a monk like you.” The blessed one answered: “Is this what your art consists of? You talk about death, and not about your help. If you are skilled, then heal me; if you cannot, then why do you reproach me, predicting death in three days; for the Lord told me that I would go to Him only after three months.” “You have already changed completely and are exhausted,” the Armenian objected, “and such people cannot live more than the 3rd day.” Meanwhile, they brought to blessed Agapit, who was so sick himself, a certain sick person from the city of Kyiv for healing. Blessed by God’s wonderful help, he immediately stood up, as if he was not sick, and, taking his usual potion, used for food, showed it to the Armenian, saying: “Here is the potion of my healing, see and understand.” The same one, having looked, said to the saint: “This is not one of our potions, but perhaps from Alexandria.” Then the monk gave his potion to the sick man and, after praying, he immediately healed him. Then, turning to the Armenian, he said: “Child, I pray you, eat this potion with me.” But he replied: “Father, we are fasting for four days this month, and therefore now we are fasting.” Hearing this, the blessed one asked him: “Who are you and what faith?” - “Haven’t you heard about me? I am Armenian". Then the blessed one said to him: “How dare you come here and desecrate my cell and hold my sinful hand! Get away from me, you heterodox and wicked! He left, ashamed. Saint Agapit, according to his prediction, rested exactly three months later, on the first day of the month of June. His brethren placed his venerable relics in the cave of St. Antonia. Some time after the death of St. Agapit, the Armenian doctor again came to the Pechersk Monastery and said to the abbot: “Now I will leave the Armenian heresy and truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, desiring Him to work in the holy monastic rite. For blessed Agapit appeared to me, saying: “You promised to take on a monastic form, and if you lie, you will destroy your soul,” but now I believe that the one who appeared to me is truly holy. For when he wanted to live for three months, the Lord gave him this time, and if he wanted to live for three years, then the Lord would have listened to him. Therefore, he himself wanted to leave us, like a saint, desiring the kingdom of saints. Therefore, I wish to soon fulfill the command of this holy man.” Hearing this from the Armenian, the abbot tonsured him to the monastic rank, and the former Armenian ended his life in the exploits of Orthodoxy.
The death of the wonderful free doctor St. Agapita followed no later than 1095, since the illness, after which he died three months later, occurred following the healing of Monomakh, the Chernigov prince, who stayed in Chernigov until 1094, and John was the Pechersk abbot from 1088.

O all-blessed Agapit, earthly Angel and heavenly man! We fall to you with faith and love and pray diligently: show us your holy intercession to the humble and sinful; Behold, for the sake of our sin, the imams are not free to ask the children of God for our needs to our Lord and Master, but to you, a favorable prayer book, we offer to Him and ask you with zeal for many: ask us from His goodness for useful gifts to our souls and bodies, faith to the right, love for everyone is unfeigned, patience in suffering, those obsessed with serious illnesses - healing from ailments, under the burden of sorrows and misfortunes, those who fall intolerable and despairing of their lives will receive quick relief and deliverance through your prayers.
Do not forget, blessed father, this holy monastery, which always honors you, but keep it and all who live and labor in it and who come to worship there unharmed from the temptations of the devil and all evil. When our departure from this temporary life arrives, and our migration to eternity, do not deprive us of your heavenly help, but with your prayers bring us all into the haven of salvation and reveal us to be the heirs of the all-bright Kingdom of Christ, so that we sing and glorify the ineffable generosity of the Lover of Mankind, God the Father and The Son and the Holy Spirit and yours, together with the Monks Anthony and Theodosius, are your fatherly intercession forever and ever. Amen.

Knowing that you are truly alive even after death, we bow down to you and pray to you: pray for us to Almighty God, for the benefit of our souls, and ask us time for repentance, so that we may pass from earth to heaven without restraint, from the bitter ordeals of the demons of the air princes and may we be delivered from eternal torment, and may we be heirs of the Heavenly Kingdom with all the righteous, who from all eternity have pleased our Lord Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father and with His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and ever. Amen.

Troparion to Agapit of Pechersk, a free doctor, in the Near Caves

Jealous of the God-bearing Anthony’s humility, / like some kind of potion of medicine / you healed the sick, Reverend Agapit, / thereby convincing the unfaithful doctor, / you guided him on the path of salvation. / Heal our illnesses too / and pray to the Lord for those who sing your praises.

Venerable Agapite of Pechersk, free physician, pray to God for us...

The idea to write this article came to me a long time ago. But it was postponed for quite a long time for various reasons: either doubts arose - “am I worthy of raising such a topic”, then I was buried under a pile of literature accumulated while searching for materials, or there were no serious facts that would shed light on the events of those times. But doubts aside! This topic is alive in me, so today I decided not to listen to my consciousness and start at least small. Perhaps this investigative article will be of interest not only to me, but also to readers. I gladly propose that we unite together in common efforts and find the Truth.

The main questions that this investigation poses are to try to find out who he was in the world and about his actions, to study more deeply the events of the 10th-11th centuries. The purpose of the research is to find information about Agapit in all existing sources in order to become acquainted with the most extensive information about this unique Personality.

While researching this issue, I came to the conclusion that it is very difficult to find information that should be available to all people. For the example of the feat that Agapit accomplished is necessary for modern society like air. Such an example of True Service should be a guiding star for us in every day of work on ourselves, in every step towards the unification of all humanity. Having learned this information, you can more deeply understand the true role of this Person in the fate of many generations of people and find mechanisms for unifying the current society.

So, what do we know about Agapit so far?

Official Church Information

From the information of the Russian Orthodox Church we have information that Agapit was tonsured and a student of Anthony of Pechersk. Neither the place nor the date of birth of the Monk Agapit of Pechersk is known. In his daily activities, the Saint helped many suffering people, including healing with the help of herbs and prayers, for which he did not charge a fee. For this reason, many may now know him as a free doctor. Also, the story of the Armenian doctor has reached our times, which is already known to everyone who is even more or less familiar with the history of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Agapit died on June 1, 1095.

There is also information that Agapit healed Vladimir Monomakh, who then ruled in Chernigov (the reign of the prince in Chernigov - 1078-1094). Below are more details about this event:

“The death of the wonderful unpaid doctor Rev. Agapita followed no later than 1095, since the illness, after which he died three months later, occurred following the healing of Monomakh, the Chernigov prince, who stayed in Chernigov until 1094, and John was the Pechersk abbot from 1088.”

And one more quote about this event:

“After this, Prince Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh fell ill in Chernigov, whom an Armenian treated diligently, but unsuccessfully. The illness intensified. Therefore, the prince, already near death, sent to the Pechersk abbot (then the abbot was Jonah), asking him to send blessed Agapit to him in Chernigov. Having called him, the abbot conveyed to him the prince’s request. But blessed Agapit, who was never seen leaving the monastery or healing outside of it, answered with humility: “If I go to the prince with such a matter, then I must go to everyone. I ask you, father, to allow me not to leave the monastery gates for human glory, from which I promised before God to run until his last breath; If you want, I’d rather go to another country and come back here when this need passes.” The one sent by the prince, realizing that he would not be able to call the blessed Agapit himself to his master, began to ask him to give at least potions for healing. By agreement of the abbot, the blessed one gave the messenger potions from his food; and when it was brought to the prince, and he accepted it, he became healthy through the prayers of the blessed one.”

There is also information that many famous people visit the Agapit Cave whenever possible. Among them is former US President Bill Clinton, who was there three times and stood for a long time, sometimes being late for meetings.

Orthodox prayers to Agapit:

“O all-blessed Agapit, earthly Angel and heavenly man! We fall to you with faith and love and pray diligently: show us your holy intercession to the humble and sinful; Behold, for the sake of our sin, the imams are not free to ask the children of God for our needs to our Lord and Master, but to you, a favorable prayer book, we offer to Him and ask you with zeal for many: ask us from His goodness for useful gifts to our souls and bodies, faith to the right, love for everyone is unfeigned, patience in suffering, those obsessed with serious illnesses - healing from ailments, under the burden of sorrows and misfortunes, those who fall intolerable and despairing of their lives will receive quick relief and deliverance through your prayers.

Do not forget, blessed father, this holy monastery, which always honors you, but keep it and all who live and labor in it and who come to worship there unharmed from the temptations of the devil and all evil. When our departure from this temporary life arrives, and our migration to eternity, do not deprive us of your heavenly help, but with your prayers bring us all into the haven of salvation and reveal us to be the heirs of the all-bright Kingdom of Christ, so that we sing and glorify the ineffable generosity of the Lover of Mankind, God the Father and The Son and the Holy Spirit and yours, together with the Monks Anthony and Theodosius, are your fatherly intercession forever and ever. Amen".

Conclusion: As it turned out, there is not so much information about Agapit that I found in Orthodox literature. At the same time, a search was also carried out on Greek resources using modern translator programs, but the information found is almost identical to Russian-language Orthodox sources. I would be grateful if you suggest in the comments sources where you can find something else interesting.

From the information presented in the books of Anastasia Novykh

There is much more information about the life of Agapit here. Let me briefly summarize the main reference points that can be used in our research:

It would not be amiss to quote the essence of what Agapit taught people:

“You understand what’s the matter, Agapit taught the monks the true service of God. He said that “gold” and “monk” are incompatible things. A person cannot serve two masters: either he serves God or earthly wealth, that is, the devil. There is no third. The monk, for all his deeds, truly expects reward only from God in the next world, and not here from people. Gold is rubbish for the soul and a temptation for thoughts. This is the defilement that many crave, but which in fact is a ghostly deception. The true value for a monk is in sincere prayer for his soul. It is not about the satiety of your belly and the health of your body that you need to worry about. Because no matter how much you eat, sooner or later you will still get hungry. And no matter what your health is, sooner or later your flesh will still die. The soul is eternal. And only she is worthy of true care. As Agapit said, a monk prays out of his heart’s desire for all people, but the whole point of monasticism is to serve God and beg Him for salvation for your soul.”

It turns out that the Holy Spirit himself resided in the image of Agapit.

Agapit brought the Grail into this world, “cast lots,” leaving the inscription of the Grail on the stones in the ancient dungeons of Mount Moriah.
While on Athos, Agapit conveyed to the highly spiritual elders some knowledge not only about Mary, as the bearer of the power of the Grail, but also about the current location of the Grail. A certain White Monk was privy to this information, who, as it turned out, was directly involved in the events that shaped the state of affairs in Medieval Europe.
Agapit was the teacher of the one who later became the teacher of Omar Khayyam, passing on knowledge to Omar when he was 16 years old. The name of this man is Nasir al-milla wa-d-Din Sheikh Mohammed-i-Mansur.

Anthony was dedicated to the guardianship of the Lotus Temple, which is on the territory of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
Healings still occur in the Lavra to this day, thanks to the discovery of the relics of Agapit, in which the Holy Spirit himself once resided on Earth. It is not surprising that other relics lying next to him become healing. But people often ask for earthly things, forgetting about the soul.

Yaroslav the Wise (Grand Duke of Kiev, former Prince of Rostov, Prince of Novgorod) met Agapit the Pechersk Physician Without Remuneration due to his illness. In those days, the fame of Agapit’s medical art extended far beyond the borders of Kievan Rus. And Yaroslav had problems with his spine due to damage to his hip and knee joints.
Agapit of Pechersk partially initiated Yaroslav the Wise into the secret of active signs, told in detail how and what kind of main religious buildings to build in the capital and the state, and most importantly, how and what kind of signs to place on them. And also what needs to be done to activate these signs in order to generate a spiritual surge among people and protect them from the influence of the negative forces of the invisible world.
As a result of such communication, the first independent Russian monasteries arose, moreover, in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos. Active work began on the translation of foreign books (especially from Athos), a diligent census of Old Slavonic tomes (even Old Russian “pagan” letters written on birch bark).
These facts clarify much in such a sharp change in Yaroslav’s behavior: from a tough ruler who did not hesitate in the means of seizing power in Kyiv, to becoming a “wise” leader during his reign in Kievan Rus after meeting Agapit of Pechersk.
Thanks to the timely intervention of Agapit of Pechersk, positive symbols were activated in Kievan Rus, many of which (the AllatRa, Allat signs, rhombuses, circles, equilateral crosses) were well known in the pre-Christian period. Agapit, in fact, updated Knowledge, including about the four Essences, about the spiritual liberation of man. Of course, this was done not explicitly, but hidden, but nevertheless. So, thanks to the spiritual work of Agapit of the Pechersk Doctor, the Merciless, there was a renewal of mostly positive signs, which naturally affected the spiritual future of the Slavic peoples.
Agapit was directly related to the spiritual activities of the Vatopedi monastery (erected in honor of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and the monastery of St. Panteleimon (Rusik, Rossikon) on Athos.
Supernova Explosion:

“During the life and active work of Agapit of Pechersk, in particular, in the summer of 1054, a bright star appeared in the sky, which was visible even during the day. You then also clarified that it was light that reached the Earth from the explosion of a supernova, which is located in the constellation Taurus in our Galaxy. I read that the remnants of this supernova explosion are now observed in the form of an expanding Crab Nebula and a neutron star (pulsar) located in its center, into which the flaring star turned. It’s interesting that the beam of radio waves from that same pulsar is still gliding across the Earth, like the beam of a rotating lighthouse across the sea as a signal for ships.”

From the program “Frank dialogue about what matters most” on ALLATRA TV channel

“, well, let’s just say that Byzantine authors wrote, and there are mentions on Mount Athos. Well, whoever wants it will find it. And it will reduce everything to one thing. It turns out to be a very interesting and funny story.”
“But for some reason they don’t mention his spiritual exploits and don’t talk about his spiritual life. We remember him as the guy with the medicines, the herbs and everything else. And there are really very interesting references about him, about his spiritual exploits, let’s say, today, which, as I have already listed, are few in other sources, but they mention Agapit specifically.
How many people has he helped take the spiritual path? And to save not only the temporary body, but who else but we knows that the body is mortal. And the most offensive thing is that it is suddenly mortal.
And he helped to take the path that leads to immortality. In my opinion, this is much more valuable and important. And he really did a lot. And when he came here, he had already moved a little away from his spiritual exploits. And here he simply existed as a monk.”

Painting by Anastasia Novykh “Agapit of Pechersk”. The portrait corresponds to the true appearance of Saint Agapit of the Pechersk, restored thanks to anthropological studies of his relics resting in the Near Caves of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

Instead of conclusions, to this part of the series of articles I would like to bring Agapit's prayer, which strengthens the Spirit and leads to pure and unconditional love for our Father, the Lord. According to legend, Agapit told this prayer one winter evening to Anthony, the founder of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra:

Agapit's soul-saving prayer

My True Father,
I trust in You alone,
And I pray to You, Lord,
Only about saving your soul,
Thy Holy will be done.
We are my strength on this path,
For life without You is an empty moment.
And only in serving You is Eternal life.
Amen.

To be continued…

I would like to express my gratitude to the ALLATRA Vesti team for their help in writing this article!
