Blind and immobilized, a homeless and illiterate peasant woman, she wandered around Moscow's homes.

About blessed mother Matrona

Matrona Dmitrievna Nikonova possessed the gift of healing, and could also open the secret curtain of the future and make predictions. She spent more than 50 years in a sitting position and was blind, but she saw through the inner world of people and for all those in need she always prayed her unceasing prayer.

Today believers from all over Russia, those who know where the relics of Matrona of Moscow are, go to her to honor her memory and ask for protection and help. After all, many know the words of the holy old woman: "Everybody, everybody come to me and tell me, as alive, about your sorrows, I will see, listen and help you."

Before answering the question of how to apply to the relics of Matrona of Moscow, you must first of all familiarize yourself with the history of her life and holiness.

Biography

In November 1881, in an ordinary Nikonov family in the village of Sebino, in the Tula province, a girl was born, who was named Matrona. She became the fourth child in the family, as she already had two brothers and a sister. Poor Matronushka was born blind, and they already wanted to leave her in the orphanage. However, the mother had a prophetic dream: she saw a beautiful white bird perched on her chest, which had no eyes. The parents guessed that Matrona would become the chosen child by the salutary cloud of smoke at the moment of her birth. Already at the age of eight, she was strong and soon the gift of a wise seer was revealed. Crowds of people began to go to her for help and healing. Matronushka became a real breadwinner in her family. And at the age of 18, her legs were taken away.

Pilgrimage

Having the gift of God, Matrona saved many people and was very kind to them. She had a bright face and a very gentle voice. She will pat everyone on the head, comfort and apply her own, and this made people feel better at heart, they were comforted and calmed down. Although she herself was very ill, no one heard any complaints from her.

Matrona also visited the Kronstadt Cathedral in 1899. There the Monk John of Kronstadt, at the end of the divine service, asked all parishioners to make way and let Matrona pass and said: “Matronushka, come and come to me. Here comes my change - the eighth pillar of Russia. "

Revolution. Moscow

When the year came to pass, Matrona and her friend and patroness Lydia Yankova were completely impoverished, left without a livelihood and without a roof over their heads. In 1925, Matrona moved to the capital and began to live wherever she had to: with acquaintances, friends, but not with her brothers, who became communists.

War

From 1942 to 1949, the Monk Matrona lived with her fellow villagers - E.M. Zhdanova and her daughter Zinaida. For many years there has been a legend, which was described in the book of memoirs by Zinaida Zhdanova "The Legend of the Matrona". During the Great Patriotic War, there was a serious threat of the capture of the capital by the German fascists, Stalin himself came to Matrona. She predicted the victory of the Russian people and said that he, one of all the authorities, would not leave and would remain in Moscow. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of this event, but it seems that it was so.

From 1950 to 1952, she already lived in Skhodnya near Moscow with her distant relatives, the Kurochkins.

The holy Eldress Matrona predicted her death in three days. Being very ill, she continued to receive people anyway. The holy mother died in the spring of May 2, 1952.

The relics of Matrona of Moscow. Monastery

The funeral service was conducted by Archpriest Nikolai Golubtsov, who revered Matrona Matrona, in the Church of the Deposition of the Robe. On May 4, on the Week of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women, the burial of the holy eldress took place, at which a large number of believers gathered. She was buried at the Danilovskoye cemetery at the request of mother herself. This church was one of the few that operated in Moscow, so she always wanted to “hear the service”.

On March 8, 1998, with the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II, the incorruptible relics of St. Matrona Matrona were removed from the grave and were first taken to the Danilov Monastery, and then to the Pokrovsky Monastery.

Now, pilgrims are always allowed to visit the relics of Matrona of Moscow from 6.00 to 20.00. They are placed in a silver shrine and are in the Intercession Convent in Moscow. There is also a public exhibition with preserved photographs. And in the courtyard of the Trinity Church, not far from the Skhodnya station, a chapel was built in honor of the elder Matrona.

"I helped, of course, more than once!"

The most important moments in my life:

Through her holy prayers, I found my own home in my beloved district of Moscow (there was a real chance to go to the other end of the city);

I found a very good job that I couldn't even dream of (that was twelve years ago, but I still work here!)

Since then, with any difficulties, we have no doubts about where to turn. We go to the Danilovskoye cemetery, to the chapel above the place where St. Matrona of Moscow was buried. We tell her everything and know that through her prayer to the Lord God our problem will be resolved without fail. My granddaughters often ask me to go with them to my mother, even for no reason. Just pray and be around.

Many miracles happen through the prayers of Saint Matrona. A year ago, we decided to build a wooden church in honor of St. Blessed Matrona in Paksheng. This is in the south of the Arkhangelsk region, in the Velsk region, in the ruined and plundered former collective farm-millionaire "Russia". Wonderful people live there; kind, bright, sympathetic, but, as elsewhere in northern villages, needy.

Through prayers to the saint and by the grace of God, in a year they rebuilt the foundation and walls, ordered a belfry and a dome. Isn't that a miracle ?! I am sure that we will make the interior decoration, erect the iconostasis, and equip the altar. Since the beginning of construction, more than a hundred local residents have received holy baptism. Holy blessed mother Matrona prays and helps.

"I am being hired from the stock exchange into a very serious organization"

Then there was a deplorable state with my brother's work, and for the second time I read the akathist to Matronushka, and the next day he was accepted for permanent work in this city-forming enterprise, although it was completely unrealistic to get there, despite the fact that my brother had no higher education. I think those who live in such small towns will understand me.

And for the third time, just recently, Matronushka again helped me with a job, getting a job, I immediately became pregnant and went on maternity leave, which is very happy!

Daria
"I couldn't get pregnant for a long time"

Hello! I live in Australia. Arriving in Moscow, I always kiss the relics of Matronushka. I asked for a child, because I could not get pregnant for a long time, and my prayer was answered a month later.

A little later, Matronushka appeared to me in a dream and warned of the impending great disaster, and how to withstand this test. I cannot imagine my life without Saint Matronushka. Even on such a distant continent, she hears us and helps. Thank God for everything!

"Helped me to meet my spouse"

Matronushka helped me meet my husband!

Through prayers, numbness in her hands passed to her!

Thank you, dear !!!

"Doctors pronounced a verdict: abortion for medical reasons"

In 2009 I got pregnant. For the second ultrasound, I asked my husband to go together, as it turned out it was not in vain ... A woman doctor, who, in my presence, gathered a consultation and passed the verdict: “Girl. Six months (22-24 weeks). Teratoma of the sacrococcygeal region. Abortion for medical reasons ”.

Then I remember myself crying in the office of a geneticist, who instilled in me that the child would be disabled, our children's surgeons do not know how to operate, they make tubes from the side instead of the rectum. And I condemn the child to torment.

I remember how I went to my husband and said: “You can imagine! Girl!" And in my head such confusion and the thought is spinning: "This is a girl, she is small, defenseless." And I must say that from childhood (by God's providence) I had a great fear of abortion. More than anything in the world I was afraid of abortion!

Mom was also very worried, cried, and soon saw a program about Matronushka on the Soyuz TV channel (and it’s a great miracle that the unbelieving mother was the first to “remember” about God!). Then, returning from work, I saw an advertisement at the bus stop inviting me to a pilgrimage trip to Matronushka in Moscow. Mom called me and said that I had to go.

Mother received me very warmly. We stayed near the crayfish longer than we should, but no one said a word to us. Then we went to the temple and took holy water. After that, I slowly began to church. She got hold of, she received the Holy Communion.

It's time to give birth. I prayed as best I could. Doctors made many diagnoses (preeclampsia, polyhydramnios), my legs gurgled from edema, there was a strong pinched nerve, only my husband lifted me up, she screamed in pain, could not get up, but prayed normally! I was afraid to sit down! I prayed with trepidation! She trusted in the Lord and did not care about anything else.

In the prenatal period, I had to observe the "consultation" of doctors, when the doctors shouted at each other and refused to give birth to me, finally, they "kicked" me to the head, saying that this was her interesting case, so let her take it herself. She suggested that I have a caesarean section.

During the operation, I felt someone's presence. A woman's voice helped me read the prayer to Matrona of Moscow, explaining that in prayer every word is important, every word has a meaning.

The daughter was taken to the children's hospital, to the surgical department. On the second day, the husband baptized his daughter, and in the church where he turned, he was given an icon of Matronushka and told to pray to her. The operation was performed on the third day after birth, and it lasted three hours. The child was all this time and the next few days on the verge of life and death. I remember how my parents and husband arrived at the hospital after the children's hospital and stood with gloomy, already black faces. I ask them: “Well, what? Died? " They shook their heads negatively, but they looked such that everything was extremely bad.

A few days later, my daughter was on the mend. On the ninth day, I was discharged from the hospital, and my daughter was transferred from the intensive care unit to the therapeutic department, where we met. They lay there for a long time. There were many miracles, small and larger! When we were discharged, journalists came to us, interviewed, filmed our daughter on camera. The doctors did not believe that the child would walk, but he moved his legs.

My mother-in-law did not believe in God. When I was still going to the pregnant woman to go to Matronushka, she dissuaded me, assured me that there would be no miracle. And so, after we were discharged, they and their father-in-law read in the newspaper, which they had been subscribing all their lives, a small article under the heading "The Saransk doctors performed a miracle", and in the article they recognized me and their granddaughter. After that, the mother-in-law ran and bought the Matronushka icon!

Since then, the temple has been an integral part of our life with my daughter. Matronushka is a member of our family, and even our, unfortunately, unbelieving dad (husband) agrees with this.

The Lord is wonderful in His saints !!! Glory to You, our God, glory to You !!!

Olga
! Dropped a purse with an icon of Mother Matronushka a hundred kilometers from home!

Pray to God for us, Matronushka! Helped ALWAYS !!!

I earnestly asked for work - I received help the next day (more than once)!

I prayed for my son to determine who his friends were, threw a crooked path, and mother Matronushka saved her son!

I dropped a purse with an icon of Mother Matronushka with a consecrated petal a hundred kilometers from home. I greatly grieved that there was no other such icon. The wallet was brought to work by absolutely strangers three days later, the icon was in place! Thank God for everything !!! Pray to God for us, Matronushka!

"And suddenly the whole world opened up for me"

I believed in God as it was convenient for me: to go to the temple when there is no one there, cry about the painful, receive what I asked for and forget about Him until the next problem ...

Once, by chance coincidence, a friend invited me to visit, and we spent the evening over a cozy cup of tea. On her bedside table lay the book "The Life of St. Matrona of Moscow", and I really wanted to read it, but I did not dare to ask ... And when I was getting ready to go home, this girl unexpectedly offered me to take the book. I read it in two days on my way to work.

And suddenly a whole world opened up for me: a poor little old woman, persecuted all her life, devotes all herself to serving God and people ... And here I am - healthy and strong, but doing absolutely nothing good, even praying is a burden for me. ..

And from that moment everything turned upside down ... A few months later I was able to commune, on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord! Now I can't imagine life without God, without the Church ... There are many mistakes, falls, but I don't see any other way in life ...

And for everything I thank Mother Saint Matrona. I apologize to her that I rarely remember her in my prayers, but despite this, she is like a piece of my heart for me, always infinitely dear and dear.

How to ask Saint Matrona for help against diseases

Often people turn to Matrona with a request for healing and health, especially in cases where medicine is powerless. This happens through a prayer for health, which carries incredible strength and is capable of creating a real miracle.

In each prayer to the saint for health, a person addresses specifically the problem that overtook him or someone from his family. Therefore, they can be conditionally divided into the following types:

• about healing;
• about the health of the child;
• from terrible diseases;
• about the well-being and health of children.

Their text has certain differences, but one thing unites them - a sincere request and faithful help to those who really need it.

In addition, the image of the blessed one helps in other circumstances, which often lead to a deterioration in health. Among these:

• protects from the influence of evil spirits;
• helps women who are desperate to find the happiness of motherhood;
• teaches to trust the Lord.

Where to go

Many believe that only close communion with the saint can bring positive results or strengthen the request and prayer. But after all, a person does not always have the opportunity to come to another city in order to cling to the image. And then the question arises: "How to write?"

There are a number of ways to do this that you can turn to:

• you can write a letter to Matrona and send it by mail to the address of the Intercession Monastery: 109147, Moscow, st. Taganskaya, d. 58. Moreover, everyone who wrote can be sure that the letter will be laid by the servants of the temple at the relics of the saint;
• go to the website of the above monastery and leave your message there, which will also be processed;
• turn to other churches where there is an icon of the blessed one. After all, wherever a person is, if his prayers are honest and truthful, then they will certainly be heard.

How to ask for health help? There is no clear answer to this question. The main thing here is sincerity and faith. It is they who give strength and perform real miracles, and Mother Matrona helps in this.

The Lord is always with you!

Where to write a petition to Matrona of Moscow

There is a pious Orthodox tradition of writing notes to Saint Matrona - like personal letters. It is known that there are prayers to Matrona of Moscow, and just in your own words you can ask Matronushka for help. However, according to tradition, you can write notes, examples of which you will see, and put them behind the icon in the church or at the relics of the saint.

• at home in front of the Matronushka icon or even without it, standing at the icons of the Savior and the Mother of God.

It is known that there are reference sites about Saint Matrona, but the notes and comments on the Internet are not true letters of the Saint. A visit to the temple or the Intercession Monastery, where the relics of Matrona reside, will become your pilgrimage, a little work as a sign of your desire to be heard.

There is a tradition to go to Matronushka for help with flowers - a living offering to her, evidence of the sincerity of your prayer and love for the saint.

Matronushka herself advised: “Come to me and talk to me as if I were alive. I will hear everyone and help everyone. " That is, you can ask the saint for help in your own words, at any time. Coming means not only visiting the relics of Matrona, but also mentally coming to her with prayer. However, in the prayers compiled and blessed by the Church there is a fullness of requests - you can forget about some other needs, and the prayer contains requests that you did not even think about. Therefore, it is worth praying with composed prayers.

“O blessed mother Matrona, hear and help us sinners who pray before your icon! Even in earthly life you are accustomed to receiving and listening to all the grieving and suffering, who, with the hope of your intercession and God's help through your prayers, came to you, you gave help with advice and miraculous healings to everyone! Give now your mercy to us, sinful people, who are bogged down in the bustle of everyday life of this world, in diseases of bodily and spiritual sorrows, nowhere receiving good consolation and compassion! Heal our infirmities, deliver from the attacks and deceptions of the devil, who opposes all good and believing people, help us carry our life's Cross, given by God Himself, peacefully endure all the hardships of life and not lose in earthly life, for worldly hobbies, the image of God and faith To preserve the Orthodox until the end of our days, to have hope and trust in God, true and disinterested love for our neighbors. Give us a quiet exit from this life in old age, life in the Kingdom of Heaven with all the saints of God, in order to rejoice forever and glorify the grace of the Lord God, the Holy Trinity always. Amen".
