Parascheva of Tirnovo in the Russian Variant of Service – „Monarchical” Image of Holiness
Abstract
The article discusses the specific of sanctity of Parascheva of Tirnovo in the Russian Orthodox Church, an anchoress the most venerated by the Eastern Church. The pattern of holiness
formed in the late nineteenth century is far richerand deeper than in other Slavic Orthodox
churches. It is based on the Trinitarian, Christological, Marian themes, as well as on the strict
hesychastic asceticism proper for hermits. The functions of the saint are also wider – she
serves as a teacher, protector, defender, guardian of the state, the highest authorities (tsar)
and the faithful – which is not typical for the sanctity of women, but rather for the holy
hierarchs, bishops as pastors of the Church and thenation.
