The Harrowing of Hell from the Winchester Psalter (Winchester, Priory of St Swithun, c 1150 CE): An angel locking the door of Hell. Hell is represented as a great mouth within which are human beings and devils. British Library, London, MS Nero C IV, f. 39r The book also includes a Calendar, which provides evidence as to its origin. Saints of particular relevance to Winchester are included, among them Bishops Æthelwold (d. 984) and Brinstan (d. 934), and saints buried or with shrines there, such as Eadburh (d. c. 951), a Benedictine nun and daughter of Edward the Elder, and Grimbald (d. 901?), by tradition the co-founder of New Minster (later Hyde Abbey). The Calendar also includes two abbots of Cluny in Burgundy, Sts Hugh (d. 1109) and Mailous (d. 994). The bishop of Winchester throughout the middle of the 12th century was King Stephen’s younger brother, Henry of Blois (r. 1139–71), who had been educated at Cluny. Henry was one of the richest men in Europe and a known art and relic collector. When appointed to the see of Winchester, he refused to relinquish the profitable abbacy of Glastonbury, which he held concurrently with Winchester until his death. The Cluniac references, Cathedral-specific prayer and Henry’s great wealth make him a plausible patron for such a lavish book, even if its vernacular components and central focus on the Psalms in French suggests that he may have intended it as a gift for a layperson.
[Robert Scott Horton]

SAINT OF THE DAY (November 8)
Tumblr media
St. Godfrey was the son of Frodon, a prominent citizen in a small town.
He was raised from the age of 5 in the Benedictine abbey of Mont-Saint-Quentin where his godfather Godefroid was abbot.
He immediately donned a Benedictine habit and lived as a tiny monk, and took his vows when he came of age. He was ordained a priest by Bishop Radbod II of Noyon.
In 1096, he was made Abbot of Nogent-sous-Coucy, in the diocese of Rheims, in the province of Champagne.
When he arrived, the place was overrun by weeds, and housed only six nuns and two children.
He rebuilt, restored and revitalized the abbey, bringing people to the Order of St. Benedict and order to the people.
He was offered the abbacy of Saint-Remi, but he refused. He was also offered the bishopric of Reims in 1097, but again, he refused, claiming he was unworthy.
When he was offered the bishopric of Amiens in 1104, he still considered himself unworthy of the trust.
However, King Philip and the Council of Troyes each ordered him to take it, which he did.
St. Godfrey was noted for his rigid austerity with himself, those around him, and in his approach to his mission as bishop.
He was an enforcer of clerical celibacy. He was also a fierce lifelong opponent of drunkenness and simony, which led to an attempt on his life.
For most of his time as bishop, he wished to resign and retire as a Carthusian monk.
In 1114, he moved to a monastery, but a few months later, his people demanded his return, and he agreed. He also took part in the Council of Chálons.

Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, "Inexhaustible Cup" (1878), that we celebrate today
A wonderful healing has been given to us through your holy icon, O Sovereign Lady Theotokos. By its appearance we have been delivered from spiritual and physical ills, and from sorrowful circumstances. We therefore offer our thankful praise to you, O merciful Protectress.
From the akathist to the Icon of the Mother of God, “The Inexhaustible Cup”
“The Inexhaustible Cup” wonderworking icon of the Holy Theotokos    
The excellent Russian author Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950) who wrote much about everyday life of pious Orthodox people of the pre-Revolution Russia, described, among other things, the veneration of the wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God “The Inexhaustible Cup” which appeared in 1878 in Serpukhov (a town some 100 kilometers/c.62 miles south of Moscow) and kept at Vladychny Convent of the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple. This is an extract from that work:
“…Peasant wagons move towards the convent along forest tracks. Exhausted women bring their near and dear from hundreds of miles away: raving, yelling with savage voices, men of bestial appearance try to release themselves from ropes. “The Inexhaustible Cup” heals the disease of drunkenness. Those who have lost their human appearance gaze at the indescribable Icon with their maddened eyes, not understanding What and Who She is—She Who radiantly looks at them with a golden chalice, bright, and drawing them to Herself—and they calm down. And while quiet young girls in white headscarves carry it and sing with joyful voices, thousands of those whose souls suffer and seek consolation fall down beneath it to the dirty ground. Unseeing, inflamed eyes stare at the bright icon with wild looks and cry excitedly, “I give up alcoholism (I promise to give up)!” Hysterical women writhe and utter curses, tearing their blouses… and in excitement fix their gaze on the eyes that draw attention to themselves. Betrothed couples come and hang pink ribbons—an earnest of happiness. Young mothers bring their first-born children, and the icon looks joyfully at them. What draws all of them to her nobody can explain—no one has found the words to express their inward feelings. I only feel that joy enters the soul.”
In his marvelous story with the same name Shmelev told one of the legends associated with “The Inexhaustible Cup” Icon, according to which a serf master named Ilia had painted this icon. The official history is silent about this, but it is this story that the wonderworking icon owes its fame, though, first of all, it is its miraculous power to heal alcoholism.
In our troubled times, as it was a century ago, hundreds and thousands of people are flocking to Serpukhov and praying for healing. The gifts of the Christians who were healed from this sickness, their children and other family members, with which the pedestal of the icon is covered, are more precious than all golden settings. Today pilgrims are spreading the healing oil from icon lamps of the wonderworking icon along with the water which is blessed during prayer services all over Russia.
Monasteries and convents from time immemorial were sources of that holy and mysterious peace, which every suffering Christian soul always sought after. Such was the Vladychny monastic community of the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple in Serpukhov, which was founded in 1360 at the border of then the Principality of Moscow, at the confluence of the rivers Nara and Oka. The latter river was called “the belt of the Mother of God” because it separated and protected Holy Rus’ from the wild steppe, “amid a pine grove and mansion-like red wood.” From the first days of its existence the invisible streams of grace spread from here to all parts of Russia. Initially it was a monastery for men, established during the abbacy of Venerable Varlaam, a former assistant of the Holy Metropolitan Alexis of Moscow. It was also under the spiritual care of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The chronicles relate that the great Abbot of the Russian Land (that is, St. Sergius) came here at the beginning of winter 1374 together with his disciple, Venerable Athanasius, and prayed at the cathedral of Vladychny Monastery, built of white stone. The legend of the foundation of this monastery also mentions a miraculous apparition of the Most Pure Virgin to Venerable Varlaam: “The vision showed to the builder that even angels would help him in his labors of building the church and preserve the monastery, that the Queen of Heaven Herself would dwell in this church as She had been present in the Temple of Jerusalem.”
And several centuries later this promise was fully fulfilled.
By the end of the eighteenth century Vladychny Monastery was declining and decaying. The services all but stopped, the scanty brethren dispersed, and the churches were falling into ruin. However, Metropolitan Platon (Levshin; 1737-1812) of Moscow, through whose efforts the spiritual prosperity of the great Optina and other monasteries began, did not forget Vladychny Monastery either—it was near this monastery that he had spent his childhood. The metropolitan obtained the permission of emperor Alexander I (1777-1825) to re-establish this monastic community as a nunnery and in 1806 first nuns came to live there. A quarter of a century later, another great archpastor, Holy Hierarch Philaret (Drozdov; 1782-1867) of Moscow introduced the strict ancient rules of desert community life into the convent. Thus he restored the spirit of monastic disdain for riches (“nestyazhanye” – “non-acquisitiveness” in Russian) and providentially prepared the convent to receive such a holy shrine as “The Inexhaustible Cup” Icon.
In the first year of the abbacy of Abbess Maria, namely in 1878, a peasant of the Tula province—a retired soldier who had a passion for alcohol for many years—in a vision saw a certain elder who commanded him to go to Serpukhov, to find the Icon “The Inexhaustible Cup” and to hold the a supplicatory prayer service before it. The old, penniless soldier, exhausted by his hard drinking, had absolutely no strength to go to Serpukhov. Soon the vision occurred again and the poor elderly soldier literally crawled to the convent on all fours. On the very first night of his ascetic journey the man suddenly felt that his legs began to obey him again.
Reaching the convent, he put its nuns to confusion as they knew nothing of the icon with this name. Then they remembered that an icon hung in one of the convent passages: on it the Infant Christ blesses the worshippers as if coming from a chalice for Communion; behind Him the Mother of God raises Her most pure hands—in the same manner as on icons of “The Sign”. Everybody was greatly amazed when they saw the inscription “The Inexhaustible Cup” on the back of the icon! Remarkably, when the man came up to the shrine of St. Varlaam, he at once recognized in him the holy elder who had appeared to him in the vision and commanded to go to the Mother of God for healing from alcoholism. The news of the wondrous miracle rapidly spread over many towns and villages: from everywhere those possessed with this terrible passion flocked to the miracle-working icon, venerated “The Inexhaustible Cup” and gave up drinking; thus peace and quiet began to reign in their homes—and all this was through the prayers of the Protectress of the mankind.
The wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God, “The Inexhaustible Cup”The tradition of this miracle-working icon explains that, “The Inexhaustible Cup” is, according to the akathist, “the one who draws up joy from the source of immortality,” the source of consolation, healing, life and various spiritual gifts and happiness. And let everybody see the hidden spiritual meaning in the fact that “The Inexhaustible Cup” Icon became a source of saving hopes and cures from the wicked passion of alcoholism: the Mother of God is praying for every single sinner; She, the merciful one, knows the suffering of those who give themselves over to debauchery, knows how strong is the desire of many of them to rid themselves of this brutal vice, but cannot find strength to struggle. So the Most Pure Virgin reminds them through Her holy Icon “The Inexhaustible Cup” that She is the inexhaustible wellspring of grace and spiritual joy, that She pours out from Her ever-inexhaustible cup heavenly delight into their withered hearts; drinking of it, they will begin to hate that ruinous liquid which once invincibly attracted them to itself.
Such sufferers at any time and in every place should resort to the all-powerful intercession of the Most Pure Virgin, making it the rule to read the angelic salutation, “Theotokos Virgin, rejoice” at least three times a day. No matter how deeply rooted the cursed passion of drunkenness may be, it cannot withstand the gracious help of the Holy Theotokos.
  Troparion tone 4:
Today we faithful come to the divine and miraculous Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, who fills the faithful from the Inexhaustible Cup of her mercy and shows them great miracles; and we who have seen them and heard of them rejoice in our heart and cry out, with deep feeling and devotion: O all-merciful sovereign Lady, heal our ills and our passions by praying to thy Son, Christ our God, that He may save our souls! Amen.

July Activity
On 6th July during a summer trip to Italy we have spent the whole day visiting different places: we went to Pomposa abbacy in Codigoro, and spent most of the day walking around Ravenna. Seeing all those antique buildings and furniture (some of them dating back to 13th century) encouraged me to think about the simultaneous fragility and resistance of objects to time.

SAINT OF THE DAY (December 5)
Tumblr media
St. Gerald was an English monk and bishop of Mayo.
The date of his birth is unknown, however, we do know that after the Synod of Whitby in 664, he followed St. Colman to Ireland and settled in Innisboffin in 668.
After some time, dissensions arose between the Irish and the English monks.
St. Colman decided to found a separate monastery for the thirty English brethren.
Thus arose the Abbey of Mayo, known as "Mayo of the Saxons," with St. Gerald as the first abbot in 670.
St. Bede writes:
"This monastery is to this day, 731, occupied by English monks...and contains an exemplary body who gathered there from England, and live by the labour of their own hands (after the manner of the early Fathers), under a rule and canonical abbot, leading chaste and single lives."
Although St. Gerald was a comparatively young man, he proved to be a wise ruler and governed Mayo until 697, when he resigned in favor of St. Adamnan.
Some authors hold that St. Adamnan celebrated the Roman Easter at Mayo in 703 and then went to Skreen, in Hy Fiachrach.
After his departure, the monks prevailed on St. Gerald to resume the abbacy. 
Mayo, though merged in Tuam for a time, remained a separate see until 1579.
The Saxon saint continued to govern the Abbey and Diocese of Mayo till his death on 13 March 731.

Founded in AD 617, Kloster Weltenburg is the oldest monastery in Bavaria. Built for strategic reasons on a bend in the Danube, about 25 km east of Regensburg, the abbey buildings are approachable only from the river or from the village of Weltenburg to the south.
During the Thirty Years War, the abbey was repeatedly sacked and plundered. Its buildings were destroyed, the monastic community was greatly reduced and adherence to the Rule abandoned. Abbots were elected only to resign in rapid sucession. This dire state of affairs attracted both papal and imperial attention, which led to the installation of abbot Marius Bächl in 1713. The new abbot's primary duty was the reconstruction of the conventual buildings.
Bächl exceeded expectations. The cloister was rebuilt 1714-16 and the abbey church begun in 1716, based on plans by the obscure Fr. Philipp Plank Planer and carried out by Baumeister Michael Wolf. When the consecration took place in 1718, the church largely finished and roofed. Probably recommended by his patron, the consecrating bishop, Cosmas Damian Asam was commissioned at that time to decorate the interior and design the high altar. Quirid Egil arrived in 1721 and other members of the Asam family of artisans were to follow.
Cosmas Damian and Quirid Egil Asam are often credited as the abbey church, despite the fact that the fabric of the church had been largely rebuilt prior to their arrival at Weltenburg. Aspects of the church's design, however, including the oval nave and illusionistic ceiling fresco, suggest a firsthand knowledge of the Roman baroque, which Cosmas Damian Asam alone among the artists involved possessed after his prolonged stay there. Possible interventions in the Weltenberg plan might have led the Asam Brothers, who had hitherto been identified in the documentary sources as maler and bildhauer, to define themselves after this project as architect-designers.
Be that as it may, the Asams were clearly responsible for the painted, sculpted, and stuccoed decoration of the interior. The most striking feature of the Weltenburg interior is the multi-media high altar, which occupies most of the choir. In the Roman baroque tradition, this ensemble blends sculpture, architecture, stucco, and painting into a spectacular theatrum sacrum. Beneath a triumphal arch supported by twisted marble columns stands a sculptural group by Egid representing the abbey's patron, St George slaying the dragon while rescuing the princess. Rather than occupying the same space as the dragon and princess, however, the equestrian figure stands on a base, recalling the statue of Marcus Aurelius on the Campidoglio. Like that ancient monument, The horse and figure appear to be fashioned of metal; in reality, the work is a wood and stucco confection, brilliantly polychromed by the Fassmalerin, Maria Salome Asam, sister of the Asam brothers. Like the inclusion of the base, polychrome is intended to create the illusion not of a saint riding a horse but of an expensive representation of a saint riding a horse. This group is flanked by the helper saints Martin of Tours and Marius of Subiaco (a stand-in for abbot Marius). A wall fresco by Cosmas Damian depicting the Assumption of the Virgin serves as a backdrop for the sculpture.
The Asams appear to have left Weltenburg around 1724 after the completion of the high altar. For the next decade, construction focused on the monastic support buildings and the church façade. Abbot Marius recalled the Asam brothers to Weltenburg in 1734 to fresco the nave walls and to add the four diagonal niches, which were designed by Egid. The ceiling fresco is by Franz Erasmus Asam, the son of Cosmas Damian.
Having fulfilled his mission, Marius Bächl, now hailed as the "second founder" of the abbey, resigned his abbacy in 1743 at the age of 75.
