was Andrew the First-Called actually in Crimea • Russia today Posting in CHAT: RussiaMore details: https://crimea-news.com/society/2023/12/13/1257578.html65 years after the Nativity of Christ. On the narrow streets of ancient Chersonesus, seaside life is in full swing - soldiers drink wine in between wars with the Tauri and Scythians, merchants buy back the morning catch from fishermen for Assar coins with the face of the Virgin goddess. A man in a blue chiton comes out to one of the seaside squares. He visited the Mount of Olives and saw the Savior. He reads sermons about Christ exactly where St. Vladimir’s Cathedral now stands... ...This is exactly what could have happened almost two thousand years ago. According to ancient legends, these sermons were heard in Panticapaeum, Feodosia and Chersonese. Should we believe the legends? Correspondents talk about this on the Day of Veneration of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called Sacred stone and healing water “Degree book” says: Andrew the First-Called blessed the Black Sea. During the sermon, he stood on a large stone, on which his feet were imprinted, like wax, and the water from these imprints has healing powers. Many came to these imprints for healing. You can approach all this from a position of strict skepticism, or you can simply believe in a miracle. “In evangelical terms, every scientist is Doubting Thomas in the positive sense of the word. We need evidence to recognize this or that event as a historical fact. If we accept that the prints on the stone really belong to the apostle, then this is a miracle. What evidence could there be of a miracle? You can only believe in him. Therefore, it is better to leave this to believers, and also to the discretion of a special patriarchal commission, which establishes the fact of the holiness of a particular place,” continues Yashaeva. Not only Chersonese. Strictly speaking, there are no substantiated scientific conclusions about the actual stay of St. Andrew the First-Called in Crimea. However, theoretically this could happen. This is what Nikolai Krasnolitsky, director of the Sevastopol Maritime Library named after Admiral Lazarev, thinks so. “It is impossible to answer this question precisely. Most likely he wasn't. This is just a legend that you want to believe in, since Rus' was baptized in Chersonesus. But if you believe, then it is logical to assume that it was not only Chersonesus, but also Panticapaeum, and Feodosia and other cities of Crimea and the Northern Black Sea region, since, according to legend, all the apostles received some regions where they were supposed to preach, and so to Andrei These lands, in particular, fell by lot,” says Krasnolitsky. Under the flag of Andrew, the Crimean legends about Andrew the First-Called, according to scientists, spread widely due to the large contingent of believers. The apostle is especially revered among sailors. And here new myths are born that relate to much more recent history. “There is a legend about how Andrew the First-Called helped us in the first defense of Sevastopol, when the Anglo-French squadron was practically drowned by a storm in front of Balaklava,” continues Krasnolitsky. “All this is not scientific knowledge, but the sailors chose this particular saint for themselves.” And they chose it long before the First Defense of Sevastopol. This story began with the creation of the Russian fleet, when Emperor Peter I proclaimed: “There will be a fleet.” “It was at this time in 1699 that the St. Andrew’s flag appeared - an oblique blue cross on a white cloth. Then we took a lot from Holland. But they don’t have such a flag. Most likely, this is our invention. Peter, who dreamed of creating warships, thought for many years about a symbol that would protect his fleet. It is believed that it was on such a cross that the patron saint of sailors, Andrew the First-Called, was crucified, whose brother, the Apostle Peter, the Russian emperor considered his heavenly protector.” Every year on December 13, Orthodox Christians celebrate the Day of Veneration of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called (popularly known as St. Andrew’s Day). He is considered the heavenly patron of Russia. According to legend, the apostle was the first to bring the news of Christianity to Rus', which is why he was revered even in the times of Vsevolod Yaroslavovich and his son Yaroslav the Wise.
