Saint Macarius lived in the XIV-XV centuries. He was from Nizhny Novgorod, from a merchant family. From childhood, Macarius showed a desire for a charitable life, and at the age of twelve he secretly left his father's house in order to get away from worldly fuss. Disguised as a homeless wanderer, he came to the Caves Monastery and begged the abbot Dionysius of Suzdal to accept him as a monk. His dream came true. After being tonsured, Macarius devoted himself entirely to the service of Christ and soon showed himself on this path as a true ascetic.

His parents, who grieved for a long time about the loss of their only son, accidentally learned about his stay in the monastery three years later. Father went to the Pechersk monastery, hoping to see Macarius. But he, afraid to break his strict lifestyle with surging feelings, did not leave his cell, but only extended his hand through the window. The father kissed her and, asking her to pray for her relatives, went home, blessing God for giving him a son - a great ascetic.

The fame of Saint Macarius grew with time and became a burden to him. Then he decided to leave the Caves Monastery and settle somewhere in a deserted place. For this purpose, he chose a cave on the shores of the Yellow Waters Lake and began to asceticize there, spending his days in tireless labor and prayer. Gradually, monks began to gather around him, wishing to follow his example. Thus arose on the Yellow Lake a monastery in the name of the Holy Trinity. Saint Macarius and his monastery were well known in the vicinity, and people of different faiths and nationalities came to him for advice and the word of God. After that, many were baptized right in the Yellow Lake, which later became known as the Holy.

Four years later, the Tatars attacked the monastery. The monastery was burned to the ground, many monks were killed, and some, along with the Monk Macarius, were taken prisoner. However, even the Tatar Khan had heard about the great ascetic and ordered to release him in peace and with him another 400 captive Russian people.

Macarius Zheltovodsky could not return to his former, devastated place, and went as released captives away from the Tatars, to the Galich region. Here, in a deserted place, on the shores of Lake Unzha, he founded another holy monastery and spent the rest of his life in it, filled with spiritual labors and help to the suffering. By strong faith, the elder was endowed by God with the grace-filled gift of healing. He was sent from Above the icon of the Mother of God, the image of which is now called Makarievsky.

Having lived to the age of 95, the monk peacefully departed to the Lord, while a wonderful fragrance spread over the entire region for many miles. Many healings took place from the relics of Saint Macarius. And in subsequent years, prayers addressed to Macarius Zheltovodsky, Unzhensky more than once saved his monastery and nearby cities from the invasion of enemies. History has preserved many cases of the miraculous help of this great Christian ascetic, who introduced many people of the Volga region to the faith.

The days of memory are established by the Orthodox Church on May 13/26 and September 7/20.

The MonkMartyr Macarius of Kanevsky lived in the 17th century, was a descendant of the noble Tokarevsky family, who lived in the city of Ovruch in the Volyn province in the west of Russia. His parents were very devoted to the Orthodox faith and sent their son to study at the local Assumption Monastery, where he later remained to serve as a monk.

At the age of 20, Macarius moved to the Pinsk Kupyatichsky Monastery, where, thanks to his exemplary monastic service, he soon became a hieromonk. In subsequent years, with the blessing of the Metropolitan of Kiev, the monk was appointed rector of the Kamenetsky Resurrection, Kupyatichsky Pinsk, Assumption Ovruch and Kanevsky monasteries. In these difficult times for the Russian people, the exhausting struggle with the Poles and Tatars, the Monk Macarius has selflessly defended the Orthodox faith for almost thirty years. For the ascetic and righteous way of life, Archimandrite Macarius, during his lifetime, was sent the gift of clairvoyance and healing.

Saint Macarius of Kanevsky was martyred by the Turks who attacked the monastery in 1678. After severe torture, he was beheaded. The monks wanted to hide the body of the saint in the temple, in order to later give it to burial. But the enemies, learning about this, set fire to the temple. Later, when the inhabitants of Kanev were dismantling the remains at the site of the burnt church, they found the incorrupt body of the Monk Martyr Macarius with a cross on his chest. Now his holy relics are in the city of Cherkasy in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin.

Memorial Day is established by the Orthodox Church on February 16 / March 1.

Saint Macarius (in the world Mikhail Nevsky) lived in Russia in the 19th century and became famous as an outstanding Christian missionary. His contemporaries called him "the apostle of Altai", "the Siberian pillar of Orthodoxy", "the living Russian saint". He founded about 60 parochial schools, a missionary school, two missionary monasteries, translated and printed the Gospel in the Altai language.

Brought up in piety, Macarius from childhood fell in love with reading spiritual books, prayer and decided to devote his life to preaching the Orthodox faith. After graduating from the seminary, he went on a spiritual mission to Altai. After several years of diligent service, Macarius received monastic tonsure and was ordained a hieromonk. In order to make his sermons available to the Altaians, Father Macarius studied the Altaic language and was able to translate many liturgical books.

Having taught the rank of Bishop of Biysk, Saint Macarius became the head of the Altai mission. Thanks to him, dozens of Orthodox churches were opened, and the number of parishioners increased many times over. Macarius continues his missionary and patronage activities in the rank of Bishop of Tomsk. During his service in the Tomsk diocese, more than 400 new parishes and parochial schools, 2 women's monasteries, dozens of parish guardianships were opened to help the poor, sick and orphans.

Gradually, the name and works of St. Macarius become known throughout Russia. He was ordained to the rank of archbishop, and a little later he was called to serve in Moscow, becoming the Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna. As in Altai, St. Macarius actively comes out with accusatory sermons, against everything that weakens the Christian faith and morality. However, in the capital, spoiled by material wealth, his teaching was not accepted with approval by either parishioners or priests, and he was persecuted. After the February Revolution, the Provisional Government, to which Metropolitan Macarius refused to swear allegiance, removes him from service and exiles him to the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Monastery, where, forgotten by everyone, but spiritually unbroken, he spends his last years.

People's memory preserves the image of St. Macarius - a strict monk, prayer book, spiritual writer and enlightener. His imperishable relics now rest in the Dormition Cathedral of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

Macarius of Optina, reverend

The days of memory are established by the Orthodox Church on April 1/14 and August 18/31.

The Monk Macarius, hegumen of the Pelikite monastery, was born in Constantinople. Even in adolescence, he lost his parents. The saint read the Word of God with zeal and was so imbued with it that he decided to devote his life entirely to God. He entered the Pelikite monastery in Bithynia, where at that time the illustrious ascetic Saint Hilarion (+ c. 754, Comm. 28 March) was hegumen. After the death of the rector, the Monk Macarius was unanimously elected hegumen by the brethren. During the reign of the Byzantine emperors Leo V the Armenian (813-820) and Michael II the tongue-tied (820-829), Saint Macarius suffered as a confessor for the veneration of holy icons. He was exiled to the island of Afusia, where he died around 830.
