Holy Synod establishes a joint feast day of Sts. Dmitry Donskoy and Eudoxia of Moscow

Moscow, July 14, 2015

    

The Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church at its meeting on July 13, 2015 in St. Petersburg established (Minutes no. 49) a joint feast day for the Holy Right-Believing Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy (1350-1389) and his wife Holy Right-Believing Grand Duchess Eudoxia (in monasticism, Euphrosyne: c. 1353-1407) of Moscow on June 1 (May 19 according to the old calendar), reports Patriarchia.ru.

***

Sts. Dmitry and Eudoxia were parents of twelve children, and their marriage, according to the chronicles of that time, was a true example of fidelity and consent. It should be mentioned that many saints who showed a genuine example of a Christian marriage have joint feast days (among them are Sts. Joachim and Anna, the parents of the Mother of God; Adrian and Natalia; Cyril and Maria of Radonezh, the parents of Venerable Sergius of Radonezh; Peter and Fevronia of Murom).

The Holy Right-Believing Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy is commemorated on June 1/May 19. This date coincides with the International Day for Protection of Children.

He himself led a strict cenobitic life in accordance with the Rule he compiled, to which all the services and obediences of the monks were made subject, and it governed their whole life, "whether in their comings or goings, their words or their deeds." At the core of the rule was total non-covetousness, detachment from one's own will, and constant work.

It seems that providence even then began to prepare her for suffering, disturbing her heart and soul with images of tortured princes.The mystery of sanctity also touched Anna’s soul at an early age.
