The article has an analytical character and devoted to consideration of topical issues of modern Orthodox church construction of South Russian region on the example of the Cathedral of the Holy equal to the Apostles great Prince Vladimir in Sochi and the Church of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian in Kuschevka, Krasnodar region. The aim of the research is to identify traditional and innovative elements of the architectural and artistic image of churches. The architectural - artistic and compositional analysis of the architecture of two modern Orthodox churches of the southern region is carried out. The characteristic of the architectural image of the church is given, the ratio of tradition and innovation is revealed. On the presented examples, the method of comparative analysis carries out a detailed analysis of the churches on the compositional, constructive, artistic and stylistic characteristics of architecture. Conclusions about the creation of architectural images of Orthodox churches in relation to the studied examples, the influence of traditional historical trends on the modern appearance of religious buildings are presented. Each church has a completely individual modern architectural and artistic image, various design solutions and urban and climatic conditions of construction. Completely different building materials and personal preferences of the creators are used. However, they are united by some General principles of the symbolic Church creed. Assumptions are made about possible ways of further evolution of the work of the architect of Orthodox church architecture in modern conditions.

In this chapter, the material presented in the second and third chapters is contextualized further, and the evidence from urban and rural contexts is treated in combination. This chapter distinguishes between the two periods before and after the Arab conquest, and draws attention to the continuities and changes, in plan types, building materials and techniques, builders, patrons, and architectural sculpture. For the period before the Arab conquest, it discusses the similarities of the church architecture of the region with its counterparts elsewhere in the Empire and points out what is specific to it. It also assesses what we can tell about the identity of the churches in a region where churches were changing hands. The Section ‘After the Arab conquest’ is concerned with the changes in the cities and the rural ṬurʿAbdin. It explores whether, in this period, one could talk about a church architecture specific to the Syrian Orthodox.

В настоящем исследовании предпринимается попытка постановки основных вопросов, связанных с современной православной миссией в сети Интернет. Предлагается обратить внимание на канонические аспекты регламентации православной миссии в сети. Приводятся примеры как канонически правомерной Интернет-миссии, так и миссии, нарушающей каноны Православной Церкви, и последствий таких нарушений. Предлагается исследование того, какие формы православной миссии в Интернете допустимы и недопустимы для мирян, священников и монашествующих, а также кто и что имеет право говорить от лица Церкви в сети. Поднимается вопрос целевой аудитории современной православной Интернет-миссии и вопрос о ее канонических границах.В качестве иллюстративного материала взяты самые современные международные Интернет-платформы, на которых ведется русскоязычная православная миссия399, такие как Facebook, YouTube, Instagram и другие. В качестве примеров миссии взяты выступления в Интернете епископов, священников и мирян Русской Православной Церкви 2019-2020 годов. The present study attempts to raise the main issues related to the modern Orthodox mission on the Internet. It is proposed to pay attention to the canonical aspects of the regulation of the Orthodox mission on the network. Examples are given of both the canonically legitimate Internet mission and the mission violating the canons of the Orthodox Church, and the consequences of such violations. It is proposed to study what forms of the Orthodox mission on the Internet are permissible and unacceptable for laity, priests and monastics, as well as who and what has the right to speak on behalf of the Church online. The question of the target audience of the modern Orthodox Internet mission and the question of its canonical borders is raised.As an illustrative material, the most modern international Internet platforms on which the Russian- speaking Orthodox mission is conducted, such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and others, are taken. As examples of the mission, speeches on the Internet of bishops, priests and laity of the Russian Orthodox Church 2019-2020 are taken.

Given the current division of modern Orthodox in Ukraine, the study of the history of the church movement of the 1920s, a significant component of which was the activity of the updated clergy, has not only scientific and cognitive but also practical significance, since it helps to clarify the causes and trends of inter-church confrontation in the conditions of existence of several Orthodox churches and to define conceptual approaches to the formation in the state of a single independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The article deals with two unknown projects made by the Swiss-Italian architect Pietro Antonio Trezzini, who was active in Russiabetween 1726 and 1751. According to the Commission of the Senate,in 1747 Trezzini designed a five-domed cathedral in Stavropol, forwhich he provided two design options. One of these projects, whichwas approved by Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, was realized between1750 and 1757. In both projects, Trezzini presented the cathedralas a monumental five-domed centrally planned church, which isan integral part of Trezzini’s designs. All but one of the Orthodoxchurches designed by the architect had five domes (we know of13 such designs, including all the alternative versions). AlthoughTrezzini was not a initiator of this new type of five-domed centrallyplanned church, his work displays the most mature and diversedevelopment of this approach in Russian Baroque architecture. The article describes the general features of Trezziniʼs churches andcertain individual ones as well.Trezzini’s projects for five-domed churches were directly relatedto the revival of a traditional type of Orthodox church proclaimedby the Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. This idea was widely reflected inRussian church architecture of the time, but its concrete realisationwas rather varied. An attempt is made in article to characterise thissituation by briefly focusing on a comparison of Trezzini’s designsand the five-domed centrally planned churches designed by otherarchitects.The five-domed churches, which were revived in mid-18th centuryRussia and persistently promoted as a national and Orthodox solution,actually had nothing in common with local medieval tradition.Typologically, the five-domed Russian churches of the mid-18thcentury were rooted in European architecture, namely in ItalianRenaissance and Central European Baroque architecture. The mostimportant European sources of inspiration were probably St Peter’sCathedral in Rome (a project by Michelangelo), the Church of StCatherine in Stockholm and the Frauenkirche in Dresden, which theleading mid-18th century architects in Russia were undoubtedlyfamiliar with European, primarily Italian, churches with twosymmetrically placed towers on the western facade and a domeover the intersection, for example, Sant’Agnese in Agone in Rome,should also be taken into consideration.

The article presents a study of methods and criteria for comprehensive assessment of modern design decisions in the architecture of orthodox churches. The topicality of the research work is determined by the need to improve the efficacy of decisions made by architects when designing church buildings, as well as by the need to enhance the quality of modern orthodox church design. The research methods employed include, among other things, a review of the legal framework applicable to church architecture design. In addition, the work examines the scientific and methodological foundations of an integrated approach to the evaluation of civil architecture and explores issues in the development of formalized methods aimed at establishing the historical and cultural value of buildings. The author provides arguments in support of the need to develop a methodology for evaluating orthodox church design decisions, including orthodox church value characteristics and assessment criteria.

Статья посвящена содержанию, общим принципам построения и характерным особенностям календаря, или месяцеслова, Русской Православной Церкви. Автор использует методы анализа и синтеза. В итоге делаются нижеследующие обобщения. Месяцеслов был принесён на Русь из Византии в достаточно завершённом виде, однако в процессе исторического развития он дополнился особенными русскими праздниками. Календарь-месяцеслов - это грандиозный собор святых, подвизавшихся в разных местах на протяжении веков, единение Церкви Небесной и земной, история святости и история нашей Церкви. Месяцесловным памятям посвящены составленные гимнографами богослужебные тексты, которые поются и читаются в храмах. Традиционно почитается день кончины угодников Божиих, память открытия мощей святых, перенесения их святых мощей или же день канонизации угодников Божиих, реже - день их рождения. Фенологические наблюдения русского народа связаны с повседневной деятельностью и увязаны с месяцесловом, что свидетельствует о его проникновении в повседневную жизнь русского человека. The article is devoted to the content, General principles of construction and characteristic features of the calendar, or mesyatseslov, of the Russian Orthodox Church. The author uses methods of analysis and synthesis. As a result, the following generalizations are made. The mesyatseslov was brought to Russia from Byzantium in a fairly complete form, but in the course of historical development it was supplemented with special Russian holidays. The calendar-mesyatseslov is a grandiose council of saints who have labored in different places over the centuries, the unity of the Church of Heaven and earth, the history of holiness and the history of our Church. Liturgical texts composed by hymnographers, which are sung and read in churches, are dedicated to the mesyatseslovs memory. Traditionally, the day of the death of saints, the memory of the discovery of the relics of saints, the transfer of their Holy relics, or the day of the canonization of saints, less often - the day of their birth are honored. Russian people’s phenological observations are related to their daily activities and are linked to mesyatseslov, which indicates its penetration into the daily life of the Russian people.

AbstractIn this paper are presented the studies of the paint materials and the technique used in 18th century wall paintings, originated from the orthodox church of St Athanasius, in the city of Maschopolis, a flourishing economical and cultural center, in Albania. The church was painted in 1745 by Konstantinos and Athanasios Zografi, and during the last years, restoration activities are being performed at the church. Samples that included plasters and pigments of different colors were collected from important points of the wall paintings. Additionally, as some parts of the wall-paintings were over-painted, the analysis was extended to the compositional characterization of these areas. The identification of the used materials was done by using complementary analytical methods such as Optical Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray fluorescence (TXRF).The presence of calcite in almost all the pigments is indicative for the use of the fresco technique at the studied areas, while the detection of gypsum and calcium oxalate, indicates an environmental degradation along with a biodegradation. Common pigments used in this area at 15-16th centuries, such as cinnabar, green earth, manganese oxide, carbon black and calcite were identified.
