Сведоштвата што ни ги предава митрополитот Петар Могила за новомачениците, содржат сведоштва за еден трет новомаченик, Светогорец и тој, чие име беше Атанасиј 1 . Неговото мачеништво бидна 1628 година, што значи во истата година со мачеништвото на Авакум Светогорец. Иако немаме некои показатели за тоа, сепак не е исклучена можноста, веста за мачеништвото на последнииот, да биде мотив и Атанасиј да следи донекаде сличен пат. Наративноста на житиети на овој Светогорец, од претходните две, се разликува во две работи. Првата е тоа што пистаелот се потпишува под својот текст. Тоа бил ивирскиот монах Прохор Коблјанскиј, кој изјавува дека постоел очевидец на мачеништвото што ги опишува настаните. Втората точка, што го разликува ова сведоштво од претходните, е тоа што е напишано на еден народен украински јазик од 17 век, со посебни гласовни карактеристики од полски происход, факт што нè упатува кон заклучокот дека писателот е по потекло од западна Украина 2 . Јазикот на текстот е непостојан, без синтактичка постојаност, на определени места сиромашен, а тоа покажува дека тој што го напишал бил малку образован. Овие јазични недостатоци се забележуваат и во преводот на грчки јазик, во кој се одбегнува слаткоречивоста, за да се пренесе јазикот на оригиналот. Во секој случај, дури и така, монахот Прохор го зачувал сведоштвото за херојските страдања на еден Светогорски новомаченик, кое речиси четири века остана непознато. Исто така треба да се спомне дека на некои места ракописот содржи принеси, кои во преводот се забележани со загради.

Акатистот беше објавен во алманахот „Светиклиментово Слово“ за 2014 год, во издаваштво на Дебарско-Кичевска Епархија на МПЦ-ОА. Беше составен со цел да се рашири и зголеми култот на тројцата Пречистански новомаченици Евнувиј, Пајсиј и Аверкиј.

CHRISTODOULOU, Georgia. Christian Orthodox Turkish-speaking Scholarship as a Precursor of the Philocalic Renaissance of the 18th Century. The goal of this article is to illuminate some historical and spiritual aspects of the orthodox Turkish-speaking Hellenism of Asia Minor during the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries using a prosopographical approach. During this period, Turkish-speaking ecclesiastic scholars from Roman Anatolia (Karamanlis) were situated in the Athos peninsula, in the Aegean islands, and also in the mainland of Asia Minor peninsula. These Turkish-speaking scholars, in accord with the ecclesiastic tradition advocated by the Collyvades, constitute a network of persons whose action operates on multiple levels. On the one hand, their copying task of orthodox Anatolian ascetic (neptic) literature from the 4th to 14th century, constituted a precursor to the revival of Philocalia, founded by the saint fathers Makarius Notaras, Nicodemus Hagiorites, ...

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Ο τέταρτος αιώνας ήταν μια περίοδος που χαρακτήριζεται από μια τεταμένη αλλά και δημιουργική σχέση του Χριστιανισμού με τον Ελληνισμό, από τη μεταστροφή του Μεγάλου Κωνσταντίνου στη χριστιανική πίστη έως την επιχείριση του Ιουλιανού του Παραβάτη να αποκαταστήσει την εθνική θρησκεία και τον τελικό θρίαμβο της Ορθοδοξίας της Νικαίας επί Θεοδοσίου Α'. Στην παρούσα εργασία αναδεικνύεται ο κεντρικός ρόλος που διαδραμάτισε σε αυτή την περίοδο ο Άγιος Γρηγόριος, επίσκοπος Ναζιανζού και ύστερα αρχιεπίσκοπος Κωνσταντινουπόλεως. Σε αντίθεση με την προσπάθεια του Ιουλιανού να απαγορεύσει στους Χριστιανούς να διδάσκουν ελληνικά γράμματα, ο Γρηγόριος, ένας ένθερμος υπερασπιστής της ελληνικής παιδείας, κατόρθωσε μια δυναμική σύνθεση της ελληνικής φιλοσοφικής ρητορικής με τη πίστη στον Θεό-Λόγο. Απέναντι στους εθνικούς και αρειανόφρονες αντιπάλους του αλλά και στην γενική αταξία των επισκόπων, προέβαλε ένα πρότυπο της ορθής τάξης της πνευματικής ανόδου, επηρεασμένο από τους κανόνες της ελληνικής παιδείας. Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζεται το αγιογραφικό και το φιλοσοφικο υπόβαθρο αυτού του μοτίβου της ανόδου προς τον Θεό, με κέντρο βάρους την επιρροή της Πολιτείας του Πλάτωνα πάνω στα έργα του Γρηγορίου. Ερευνάται, επιπλέον, η διαδρομή του μοτίβου στην ιουδαιοχριστιανική παράδοση, με ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στον Φίλωνα και τον Ωριγένη, και αναλύονται οι τομές που επέφερε σε αυτό ο Γρηγόριος με τη θεολογική και τη ρητορική του ιδιοφυΐα, ιδίως στο πλαίσιο της Τριαδολογίας και της Χριστολογίας του. Η θεία συγκατάβαση, δηλαδή, η ενσάρκωση του Θεού-Λόγου, η πρόσληψη από μέρους του της ανθρώπινης φύσης και η ανάσταση του εκ νεκρών, καθίσταται για τον Γρηγόριο το εφαλτήριο της ανάβασης προς τον Θεό. Πρόκειται για μια θεία δραματουργία στην οποία συμμετέχει ο πιστός με υπαρξιακό και προσωπικό τρόπο, τόσο στην πράξη όσο και στη θεωρία.  


Divine Ascent in St Gregory Nazianzen: a contribution to the study of Hellenism and Christianity in the 4th century AD

ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH
The fourth century was a period fraught with tense albeit creative relations between Christianity and Hellenism, from Constantine the Great’s conversion to the Christian faith to Julian the Apostate’s attempt to restore pagan religion and the eventual triumph of Nicene Orthodoxy under the reign of Theodosius I. The present work aims to show the crucial role played during this period by St Gregory, bishop of Nazianzus and eventual archbishop of Constantinople. In defiance of Emperor Julian’s attempt to probibit Christians from teaching Greek letters, Gregory, fervent champion of Greek education that he was, achieved a dynamic synthesis of Greek philosophical rhetoric with his cherished faith in God the Word. Against his pagan and Neo-Arian opponents, but also in protest to the general disorder of the bishops of his time, Gregory laid down a model of orderly spiritual ascent, based on the principles of Greek paideia. The present work examines the biblical and philosophical background of this motif of ascent to God, with special attention paid to the influence of Plato’s Republic on Gregory’s works. It explores the pervasiveness of this theme in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, especially with reference to Philo and Origen of Alexandria. It then proceeds to analyse how Gregory transforms this theme in the context of his brilliant oratorical formulations of Trinitarian theology and Christology. For Gregory it is ultimately God’s descent to the human level, that is, the Incarnation of God the Word, his assumption of human nature, and his resurrection from the dead, that forms the springboard for ascent to God. This involves the unfolding of a “divine drama” in which the believer participates in an existential and personal manner, both practically and contemplatively.
