Master class Spiritual and moral education, methodological development on orxe (grade 2) on the topic. Holy Rus' worship crosses Kuban studies native land homeland worship crosses abstract

Probably, each of us has at least once seen large wooden crosses along the roads, at the entrance to the city (sometimes within its boundaries), and just in the field. And probably not everyone knows why they are installed there. It is precisely this point that we will deal with in this article.

Worship crosses. What it is?

To begin with, it is worth noting that the crosses standing along the roads have, in addition to a certain sacred meaning, and their name - Poklonnye, and even their own types, depending on the goals pursued by those who erected them.

The tradition of installing Poklonny crosses is very, very ancient and goes back to the times of the formation of Christianity in Rus'. It is believed that some of the first Poklonny crosses were those that were erected by order of Princess Olga at the sites of destroyed pagan idols, at crossroads and remote villages in the Pskov and Kyiv lands.

The gold standard responsibly establishes the historical dimensions of the Orthodox worship cross. This is a guide to making and installing it.

“Previously, crosses were installed for various reasons: at the entrance to the village, votive crosses in honor of the birth of the first child, security crosses, before the construction of a church. The point is that where they thought it was necessary, they placed it there. This is the gift of free will that God gives to man. There are navigational crosses on the sea coast. They even put up boundary crosses to clearly define the boundaries. Nowadays, most crosses are installed at the entrance to a city or village and before the construction of a temple begins. Crosses are also installed in memorable places. This gold standard provides an example of how to install a worship Orthodox cross in the heart of the village in a prominent location. The advantages are obvious: the cross can be seen from most houses. A faceless village, of which there are many, acquired a treasure in the heart of the village. There will be life and grace in this place.”

According to their functions, Worship crosses can be divided into several, let’s say, types:

Missionary.
It is precisely the crosses erected by Olga that are missionary. A kind of symbol of the victory of Christianity over paganism.
Navigational (aka “conspicuous”).
The height of such crosses reached 14 meters, as they served as a guide for travelers, including sailors. So such a height is quite justified, because such a landmark had to be noticed from afar.
Boundary or, as they are also called, roadside.
They were very popular in pre-revolutionary Russia. Such crosses were placed near villages, along roads (which is what we see most often). This was done so that the traveler, upon arrival in the city (or village, etc.), could offer a prayer to the Almighty for the end of the difficult journey. Also, such Poklonny crosses marked the boundaries of large agricultural lands.

Such crosses even have their own special design: the cross is topped with a gable lid made of two planks. Often under this “roof” an icon case with an icon and a lamp was installed. Such a cross was called “cabbage roll”. Sometimes such crosses marked villages and towns liberated from invaders. Places where it is already safe and where residents can return.
Memorable (thanksgiving, vows).
This is perhaps the most common type of Poklonny crosses; you can literally read the history of Rus' from them. They were established as gratitude to the Almighty (for the successful outcome of the war, the birth of an heir, and the like). Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great erected such crosses. The first for the birth of a son, the second - as gratitude for salvation in the storm.

The very word “votive” tells us that the cross was erected according to a “vow”, that is, a promise, and often in remote places, secluded corners (forests, fields, etc.). But most often, at intersections and along roads, where the crosses were clearly visible to passers-by.
Security.
It's no secret that the cross is for Orthodox man- a symbol of holiness and purity. And it has considerable power: it protects places, cleanses them of gravestones. People believed that by installing the Cross of Worship at the entrance to the city, they would protect its inhabitants from disease, robbers and evil spirits. Some vegetable gardens are marked on four sides with similar symbols.

Such a cross was placed “in one of the Kostroma forests along the road, at the place where robbers killed the postman.” The cross was supposed to protect this place from “the repetition of similar misfortunes there.”
Crosses are substitutes for churches, temples and chapels.
Such crosses were installed on the site of destroyed (burnt down) churches and chapels in order to leave believers the opportunity to offer prayer in a holy place. The cross was erected exactly in the place where the throne once stood.

Sometimes, on the contrary, they first put up a cross, and then erected a temple in its place.
Funeral.
Such crosses are not always placed at the place of a person’s burial; sometimes a memorial cross is erected at the site of his death. IN modern world More and more often you can find such a cross: in a place where a terrorist attack occurred, a car or plane crash, and so on.

How the Worship Crosses were Erected

The installation of such crosses in ancient times was a special ritual, which was approached with all seriousness, responsibility and respect. Usually, people gathered as a whole village to perform this ritual.

You probably saw that the Worship crosses stand on a small hill (a symbol of Golgotha), and so, in order to create such an elevation, each villager brought a handful of earth and placed it on the site of the future foot of the cross.

Traditionally, such crosses were made of wood, less often of stone and very rarely of metal. When installing, they were guided by the cardinal directions: the flat part of the cross faced east, and the raised end of the lower crossbar faced north.

Let's summarize: why are Worship Crosses installed?

A little higher, we found out that Worship crosses were installed in a certain place:

Site of a lost church or cemetery;
Holy spring;
The place where pagan idols stood;
Dead, dangerous places;
Entry into the city;
Place of death;
Place of mass baptisms and so on.

And the fact that their functions were also different, depending on the installation location and the goals pursued by the creators of the “monument”. And the fact that this tradition is very, very ancient, even if you do not take into account Rus', but look even further - to the Roman Empire, during the reign of Constantine (312). According to legend, on the eve of his battle with Maxentius (sworn enemy, by the way), Constantine had a dream in which he saw a cross with the message: “This way you will win!” Indeed, he won, and after his triumphant victory he erected a monument in the main square of Rome, depicting, naturally, his beloved with a spear, and this spear was crowned with a cross and the inscription: “With this saving sign I saved the city from the yoke of the tyrant.”

Question answer

Friends, I am often asked some questions regarding worship crosses, their installation, and so on. More often, of course, about installation. So, I decided to answer some of them. I don’t take answers out of thin air, but from various sites (authoritative sources, by the way) on Orthodox topics.

Can lay believers install such a cross themselves?
Need a blessing. And the installation itself takes place with the obligatory participation of a clergyman. There is a special rite for consecrating the worship cross: holy water is poured onto it, and the priest reads prayers.
Is it possible to install crosses in the city, for example, next to entertainment centers, as if in defiance of non-believers?
No, worship crosses They are not placed where they can easily be abused. Crosses are for believers, not in spite of non-believers.

Krestovsky Bridge - Orthodox newspaper (www.krest-most.ru)

But I digress. So, this tradition is ancient, but it is still alive (and even more than alive). Worship crosses still continue to protect our cities and remind us of the past, sometimes sad, sometimes not. And I think that for a very, very long time we will continue to see wooden crosses rising along the roads.

No matter how long the path to them may be,
Perhaps to the last, to the point...
They will remind you of the holy princess Olga.

Under the base of the worship cross
The princess lowered a handful of earth.
As a memory of the crucifixion of Christ,
They called the new place Golgotha.

All the Orthodox Christians stood up to her.
Covering the sacred cross with stones,
And making a platform out of stones,
Having performed a prayer on that mountain.

This is how the first cross was erected in Kyiv,
On a hill, on a steep green.
It has become one of the protected places.
Everyone always came to him with a bow.

Worship Cross of Holy Rus' -
Countries are the native spiritual shield.
Ask for God's mercy,
And don’t complain at the holy cross.

Without waiting for the menacing finger,
Among the holidays and gray everyday life
Repent, pray at the cross,
Do good to make people happy.

Oh, how horrified the whole country was!
This has never happened before:
Satan destroys the fallen with his hands
Worship Crosses of Centuries!

How long, brothers and sisters, can we endure?
Why is the government not taking proper measures?
How sad it is to look at all this!
It's time to stand up for our faith!

A LITTLE HISTORY:

Worship Crosses, meaning memorable and significant places, serve as a place for believers to pray, a reminder to all those passing and passing about the need for repentance, moral cleansing, living according to the laws of goodness and love for others. The first Worship Cross was installed in holy Rus' Equal to the Apostles Princess Olga more than a thousand years ago on the Kyiv mountains.
Orthodox Worship Crosses are usually wooden, less often - stone four-pointed or cast. They can be decorated with carvings and ornaments. Their Orthodox content and orientation to the east remain unchanged.
Stones were usually placed at the foot of the Cross to create a small elevation, which symbolizes Mount Golgotha, on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Participants in the event placed a handful of earth they carried with them from their threshold under the base of the Cross.
Worship, lighthouse, cemetery, memorial, thanksgiving, memorial, protective... Crosses were placed on different cases. The sailors came ashore alive, the child overcame a terrible illness... The most common form of vow was the promise to donate a piece of cloth or a towel “to the cross.” The crosses of Mezen and Pomerania were decorated with aprons, silk scarves, dolls, and money was placed on them. They traveled many kilometers to the most revered crosses. From time immemorial, the life of a Russian person could not be imagined without a wooden cross. And although it was small compared to the church, the power of its emotional impact was great. The cross is also a monument to peasant writing, architecture, cult, and navigation sign seafarers, marked on pilotage charts.
Orthodox traditions There are also erections of Worship Crosses on Siberian soil. In Siberia, Worship Crosses have long been placed on mountain tops. In Mountain Shoria, the Worship Cross was consecrated on the highest point of Mount Mustag; in Tomsk on Mount Kashtak the Cross was installed in memory of those killed during the years of Stalinist repression; in the Biysk region of the Republic of Khakassia - in memory of the Cossacks who defended the southern borders of Siberia.

Reviews

It’s very good that you raised this topic! Those who saw crosses speak out against the Church and call themselves the saviors of the people. But in fact, there is simply no Russian people without the Church! Years of godlessness are an example of this! God bless you!

The daily audience of the portal Stikhi.ru is about 200 thousand visitors, who in total view more than two million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

Thoughts about the worship cross arose naturally after a dialogue with the head of the rural settlement of the village of Tashkirmen, Laishevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan, where last summer the worship cross, which is still in a horizontal position, was cut down and thrown to the ground with impunity, but more on this dialogue below. ..

And now the Week of the Cross of Great Lent ends. At its beginning, on the lectern in front of the iconostasis in each church, a Cross decorated with flowers is placed - especially for special worship. At the service, the stichera to the Cross of the Lord is sung: “We worship Your Cross, O Master, and we glorify Your holy Resurrection.”

A cross decorated with flowers on a lectern in front of the iconostasis is taken out at the beginning of the Week of the Cross..

But it is not only in churches and not only during the week of veneration of the cross that it is appropriate for Orthodox Christians to worship the Cross of the Lord.

The center of our Christian faith is the suffering on the cross and the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and His wonderful Resurrection. The first is as His atoning sacrifice made for us all and as an example of the path to God for us. The second - as evidence of the omnipotence of God and an unshakable basis for faith - in the immortality of the human soul and victory over death. This is partly why at the base of the cross there is an image of a skull and bones, because “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death...”

What can I say, the cross for us, Orthodox Christians, is the main holy symbol, and we wear this symbol on our bodies, and it crowns all our churches and the graves of our relatives and loved ones, and other memorable places. We worship the cross, we pray to the cross and we venerate the cross - as we enter the temple, where it is usually located in the image of Golgotha, crowned with a crucifix, or from the hands of the priest after the service.

To the Cross we read and sing troparia, magnifications, and kontakia:

“Save, Lord, Thy people and bless Thy inheritance, victories Orthodox Christian bestowing on the resistance and preserving Your residence through Your Cross.”

“We magnify You, Life-Giving Christ, and honor Your holy Cross, by which You saved us from the work of the enemy,”

and many others.

There is also an Akathist to the Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord.

The Church celebrates at the end of September and one of the twelve holidays - the Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord.

And most strong prayer many believe “May God rise again!...” - the prayer rule instructs us to read it every day before going to bed.

It contains the words “...Like smoke disappears; let them disappear; as wax melts before the fire, so let demons perish on behalf of those who love God and sign the sign of the cross, and who say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away demons by force. to you the drunken Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon his power the devil, and gave us Your Honest Cross to drive away every adversary.”

What protective power and triumph in these words lies in the fact that we, Orthodox Christians, have the Cross of Christ!

All of the above fully explains the veneration of the cross by ordinary Orthodox people, for whom the cross is also a special and reliable guardian and protector.

Therefore, Orthodox crosses have been erected in Rus' since ancient times.

To the cross, and at the same time, to the image of Christ God crucified on it, installed along the road or in any other place where Orthodox people may be, a person can bow, pray, venerate it - as in a temple. After all, the temple may be far away, and there may be no time, but here is an image, and therefore a prayer, maybe a saving one, or maybe for someone - the last?...

Well, now - and about that very dialogue with the head of the Tashkirmen rural settlement and the occasion that arose to devote at least a page to the essence of that very question - why install worship crosses in Russia?

It must be said right away that the heads of rural settlements are not great bosses, and they are given almost no money for anything. But those who are higher in position than them are always ready to blame the head of the settlement for everything that happens on their territory, without delving into the “little things.” And so - do what you want, but you are responsible there - for everything! A sort of “chief of Chukotka” - remember the movie? So Viktor Vasilyevich Kormachev, the head of the Tashkirmen settlement, during our discussion of the question - where to put the previously overthrown cross - was in uncertainty. There are no instructions from above. Either in the same place or nearby, or even on the territory of the temple, or maybe at the entrance to neighboring Makarovka? And, over there, in the neighboring Tatar Atabaevo, a priest came from Kazan and proposed to build a church, so the majority there are almost only Tatars - there was an embarrassment.

But Tashkirmen and Makarovka are Kryashen villages, and the Kryashens are Orthodox, and therefore there will be no questions in principle, and to determine the location of the installation of the worship cross there, it’s time to look at the map.

Both villages are located on a dead-end branch of the road, because behind them are only the Kama and Mesha in their floods at the mouths, and then Mother Volga in the middle reaches. And these places, by the way, are perhaps the most favorite for fishing people in our region.

You can get to Makarovka only by visiting Tashkirmen.

The Tashkirmen Church of St. Gurias of Kazan has been restored, services are held regularly, but it is located almost on the edge opposite the entrance of the village, closer to the shore, and unless you specifically go to this church, most visitors to these villages will not even see it.

So the only place where a worship cross should be placed is in the same place, at the entrance to Tashkirmen - only here absolutely everyone will see it - both the residents of Tashkirmen and Makarovka, and all visitors to these places, including many thousands (!) of fishermen who come here on weekends, especially in winter. And even if they don’t pray, then maybe they will at least remember God and the most important things before, for example, driving out onto the March ice in a car...

“Save, Lord, your people!..” And, after all, they have already written in the local press that the cross will be installed here again after the real little things have been settled, and even Bishop Theophan will personally consecrate it.

II. Updating knowledge

"Where the Motherland Begins" sl. M. Matusovsky, music. V. Basner

1. Teacher's opening speech:

The school year begins and the first word written in textbooks is very important word- HOMELAND!

The Motherland - Russia - is the land of our Russian people, watered with the blood of valiant ancestors who defended it in historical battles. The homeland is the soul of the people, their faith, their aspirations and prayers. Homeland is the traditions and culture of our ancestors.

Task “Collect a proverb.”

The Motherland is a mother, know how to stand up for her

Where someone is born, that’s where they will come in handy.
A man without a homeland is like a nightingale without a song.

There is nothing more beautiful in the world than our Motherland.

“Our Fatherland is our Motherland – Mother Russia. We call Russia Fatherland because our fathers and grandfathers lived in it from time immemorial. We call it homeland because we were born in it. Mother - because she fed us with her bread, gave us drink with her waters. There is a lot in the world good states, but a person has one natural mother - he has one Motherland.” (K.D. Ushinsky)

Where did the word "homeland" come from? The word homeland comes from the ancient word clan, which means a group of people united by blood. Each of us is a descendant of some ancient ancient family. And the word genus itself means the most ancient god Slavs Rod. Main city Ross tribe - Roden. It was dedicated to the god Rod.

In a big country, every person has his own small corner - the city, street, house where he was born. It is his "small Motherland" And our common, great Motherland consists of many such small corners. She is huge and beautiful. And everyone has one.

What does each of these words mean?

Clan, homeland, relatives, parents, pedigree. There is a single root here - gender.

First a person is born. Then he learns that his homeland is called Russia. That it is the largest country in the world. That Russia is a country with an ancient history.

parents

pedigree

From the first days of his life he was surrounded by his family. Gradually their circle expands. Relatives, friends, neighbors... And one day the understanding comes to him that in addition to his house, his yard, his street, his district, his city, what we call our “small Motherland”, there is also “My Country”. These are millions of people who do not know us personally. But our lives have a lot in common. And we all depend on each other in some way. We experience Russia's victories as our own victories. And Russia’s troubles are no strangers to us either.

What does Motherland mean? How do you understand the meaning of this word? And what do you call your small Motherland?

2. Finish the sentence

(students write down the definition of the word, stick their sheet on the board)

 MOTHERLAND is...

3. Generalization of children's statements

Motherland, native land - this is everything that surrounds us, this is everything that from the first

days of our life becomes as dear to us as air, water,

bread is like the smile of a loved one and native land. This is the place where our family lives, where we grow, learn, and work.

The homeland is what it is today: our cities and villages, our meadows and forests, our people, our school. But this is also what we had here before: our ancient history and culture, our monuments and traditions.

The homeland is also our future; what will happen on our Earth. This is the hope for

joy and happiness. This is finally confidence: this is where we will be best

live.

So, the Motherland is everything that a person simply cannot live without.

We live in Russia on the blessed land of Kuban. Kuban is our small town

Homeland.

4. Quiz “My Kuban”

Computer presentation with photographs of unique places in Kuban.

(Students recognize and name objects, receiving a chip for the correct answer. At the end, the winner of the quiz is determined)

5. Work in groups:

- small Motherland – this is the place where you live, where you were born. This is our native and beloved land, glorified by poets, musicians and artists. Let's try to express our feelings through the power of art.

1) group - poets: compose a story, an essay about the Motherland using the words: Motherland, country, fields, forests, heavens, earth, rivers, mountains, open spaces, Kuban ...

2) group - artists: draw a favorite corner of your native land. A poster depicting favorite corners of their native land is hung on the board, and students read poems about the Motherland.

What unites us? United Motherland. This is common land. General history. General laws. Mutual language. But most important are common values and spiritual traditions. A person remains a person as long as he values and disinterestedly cares about the person close to him, other people, and the interests of the people and the Fatherland.

You receive both your homeland and valuables as a gift from previous generations. Values live in spiritual traditions. Outside of tradition, they die, like a plant that is pulled out of the soil. The source of values is understood in different ways.

Believers are convinced that people receive their values from God. God gives people moral law- knowledge about the right life, how to avoid evil, fear and disease and even death, not harm others, live in love, harmony and agreement with people and the world around them.

And when we talk about the spirituality of the Russian people, it is certainly connected with Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is unthinkable without the worship of the Cross of Christ. The cross accompanies a Christian, starting with baptism. A pectoral cross is worn around the neck, the cross crowns the dome of the temple, rests in the altar on the throne, is placed as a prayer, worship, thanksgiving - near the temple, near the roads, in the field and other, most unexpected places...

Outside churches and cemeteries, crosses were and are being erected primarily for religious purposes. The cross is a sign of our salvation. And just as we must think about salvation not only in the temple, so the place of the cross in our life cannot be limited only to the temple. The tradition of putting up crosses came to Rus' even before it adopted Christianity.

Her grandson, Prince Vladimir Krasno Solnyshko, continued this pious tradition.

The main purpose of their construction is to remind the traveler of the eternal, of the need to sigh to God in prayer and worship Christ. In the old days, crosses were called worshipers, which were placed on the site of destroyed churches - where there was a throne and a bloodless sacrifice was made (this place was specially fenced off as holy).

The Worship crosses stand on a small hill (a symbol of Golgotha), and so, in order to create such an elevation, each villager brought a handful of earth and placed it on the site of the future foot of the cross.

Worship crosses were installed in a certain place:

Site of a lost church or cemetery;

Holy spring;

The place where pagan idols stood;

Dead, dangerous places;

Entry into the city;

Place of death;

Place of mass baptisms and so on.

And the fact that their functions were also different, depending on the installation location and the goals pursued by the creators of the “monument”. Today this tradition is being revived. Just like a thousand years ago, the Worship Cross reminds people of the primordial Orthodox faith. Many consider the cross to be a spiritual symbol of the nation, a cultural monument. So let the crosses protect our land from harm, decorate it and tell everyone passing by that Orthodox Christians live here. And they make us cleaner...

IY. Summing up the lesson

On this lyrical note, we end our lesson. Of course it's impossible

tell everything about the Motherland, cover its rich history, its traditions.

It is important to understand only one thing: if we love and take care of our Fatherland, then our Motherland will become richer and prosper. Together - we are force. We will be proud of our Motherland! Our little Motherland is Kuban! We are the heirs of our Motherland!

Application

Homeland.M.Yu. Lermontov

I love my fatherland, but with a strange love!

My reason will not defeat her.

Nor glory bought with blood,

Nor the peace full of proud trust,

Nor the dark old treasured legends

No joyful dreams stir within me.

But I love - for what, I don’t know myself -

Its steppes are coldly silent,

Her boundless forests sway,

The floods of its rivers are like seas;

On a country road I like to ride in a cart

And, with a slow gaze piercing the shadow of the night,

Meet on the sides, sighing for an overnight stay,

The trembling lights of sad villages;

I love the smoke of burnt stubble,

A train spending the night in the steppe,

And on a hill in the middle of a yellow field

A couple of white birches.

***

A.S. Pushkin

Two wonderful feelings are close to us,

The heart finds food in them:

Love for the native ashes,

Love for fathers' coffins.

Based on them from time immemorial,

By will God himself,

Human independence

The key to his greatness.

Target: Prepare the vocal apparatus for singing, develop the skill of “pure” intonation and “control” of your voice.

During the classes.

Org moment.

2.1. Exercise in unison in legato “We sing...” Invite students to perform phrases in turn: sometimes “to themselves”, sometimes out loud. This technique allows you to practice an intonationally clean, precise introduction to the first sound of each new phrase. When singing “to yourself”, it is advisable to silently articulate the text, which makes it possible to maintain a rhythmic basis and a uniform tempo of movement.

2.2. The “Crane” exercise is performed with notes, and then with words, showing the movement of the melody along the “hand staff”.

2.3. Performance of the song “Independent Republic” lyrics and music. L.Melnikova.

2.4. Introduction to the song “Kazakhstan Land”, words and music by L. Melnikova.

What can you say about the nature of this song? (song)

What did the song tell us?

2.5. Learning 1st verse and chorus of the song “Kazakhstan Land”.

2.6. Performing learned musical material followed by repeated listening to the song (you can add elements of Kazakh dance movements to the performance of the song).

The music of any nation reflects love for the Motherland, for the native nature, worship of the workers and defenders of the native land. Music about his native land helped a person in a foreign land, consoled him in moments of grief and despair, gave him strength in days of trials and difficulties, instilled faith, hope, and love in his heart.

3. Listening to music

Now, sit back comfortably, I invite you to take an exciting journey. And the music of one of the most famous musicians of the Kazakh land, Kurmangazy Sagyrbaev (portrait), who was a true patriot of his country, will help us. The entire life of the famous kuishi was spent in the fight against injustice. We will listen to a kui called “Sary Arka”; it is considered the pinnacle of creativity not only by Kurmangazy, but also by all Kazakh music. This is one of the most famous works of kuishi, which has gained extraordinary popularity not only in Kazakhstan, but also beyond its borders.

(to the sound of Kurmangazy’s kui “Sary Arka”, slides with views of Kazakhstan are shown: nature, cities, people...)

What impression did the music and pictures of nature and cities of our country make on you?

What did Kurmangazy’s music tell you?

Can we say about Kurmangazy that he is a patriot of his Motherland? Why?

Do you agree with the popular proverb: “Whoever loves his Motherland and people is a true patriot”?

Should a person develop such a quality as patriotism?

Why does a person love his homeland?

Can you say about yourself that you are patriots of your Motherland?

Think about what mood you should be in when singing songs about the Motherland?

What feelings do you get when you listen or sing about your Motherland?

III. Final part
