Kyrie - monastic chants - christdesert ( Benedict ) SERGIUSABBOT OF HOLY TRINITY ( 25 SEPT 1392 ) To the people of Russia , Sergius is a national hero and an example of Russian spiritual life at its best . Sergius was born around 1314 , the son of a farmer . When he was twenty , he and his brother began to live as hermits in a forest near Moscow . Others joined them in what became the Monastery of the Holy Trinity , a center for the renewal of Russian Christianity . Pilgrims came from all Russia to worship and to receive spiritual instruction , advice , and encouragement . The Russians were at the time largely subservient to the neighboring ( non - Christian ) Tatar ( or Tartar ) people . Sergius rallied the people behind Prince Dimitri Donskoi , who defeated the Tatars in 1380 and established an independent Russia . Sergius was a gentle man , of winning personality . Stories told of him resemble those of Francis of Assisi , including some that show that animals tended to trust him . He had the ability to inspire in men an intense awareness of the love of God , and a readiness to respond in love and obedience . He remained close to his peasant roots . one contemporary said of him , " He has about him the smell of fir forests . " To this day , the effect of his personality on Russian devotion remains considerable . ( The following material is taken with minor alterations from The Lives of the Saints , by Sabine Baring - Gould , author of the hymn onward , Christian Soldiers . The reader will note that this account was written before the Communist Revolution , at a time when the Czar was still ruler of Russia , and the Russian Orthodox Church was the official religion of the country . ) The name of Sergius is as dear to every Russian ’ s heart as that of William Tell to a Swiss , or that of Joan of Arc to a Frenchman . He was born at Rostoff in the early part of the 14 th century , and when quite young left the house of his parents , and , together with his brother Stephen , settled himself in the dense forests of Radonege with bears for his companions , suffering from fierce cold in winter , often from famine . The fame of his virtues drew disciples around him . They compelled him to go to Peryaslavla - Zalessky , to receive priestly orders from Athanasius , Bishop of Volhynia , who lived there . Sergius built by his own labor in the midst of the forest a rude church of timber , by the name of the Source of Life , the Ever Blessed Trinity , which has since grown into the greatest , most renowned and wealthy monastery in all Russia -- the Troitzka ( = Trinity ) Abbey , whose destiny has become inseparable from the destinies of the capital . Princes and prelates applied to Sergius not only for advice , but also for teachers trained in his school , who might become in their realms and dioceses the heads of similar institutions , centers whence light and wisdom might shine . Tartar invasion had quenched the religious fervor of the Russians : a new era of zeal opened with the foundation of the Troitzka monastery and the labors of Sergius . At the request of Vladimir , Athanasius , a disciple of Sergius , founded the Visotsky monastery at Serpouchoff ; and another of his pupils , Sabbas , laid the foundation of the convent of Svenigorod , while his nephew Theodore laid that of Simonoff in Moscow . In the terrible struggle against the Tartars , the heart of the Grand - Prince Demetrius failed him ; how could he break the power of this inexhaustible horde which , like the locusts of the prophet Joel , had the garden of Eden before them and left behind them a desolate wilderness ? It was the remonstrance , the prayers of Sergius , that encouraged the Prince to engage in battle with the horde on the fields of the Don . No historical picture or sculpture in Russia is more frequent than that which represents the youthful warrior receiving the benediction of the aged hermit . Two of his monks , Peresvet and Osliab , accompanied the Prince to the field , and fought in coats of mail drawn over their monastic habit ; and the battle was begun by the single combat of Peresvet with a gigantic Tartar , champion of the Horde . The two chief convents in the suburbs of Moscow still preserve the recollection of that day . one is the vast fortress of the Donskoi monastery , under the Sparrow Hills . The other is the Simonoff monastery already mentioned , founded on the banks of the Mosqua , on a beautiful spot chosen by the saint himself , and its earliest site was consecrated by the tomb which covers the bodies of his two warlike monks . From that day forth he stood out in the national recollection as the champion of Russia . It was from his convent that the noblest patriotic inspirations were drawn , and , as he had led the way in giving the first great repulse to the Tartar power , so the final blow in like manner came from a successor in his place . In 1480 , when Ivan III wavered , as Demetrius had wavered before him , it was by the remonstrance of Archbishop Bassian , formerly prior of the Troitzka monastery , that Ivan too was driven , almost against his will , to the field . " Dost thou fear death ? " so he was addressed by the aged prelate . " Thou too must die as well as others ; death is the lot of all , man , beast , and bird alike ; none avoid it . Give these warriors into my hands , and , old as I am , I will not spare myself , nor turn my back upon the Tartars . " The Metropolitan , we are told , added his exhortations to those of Bassian . Ivan returned to the camp , the Khan of the Golden Horde fled without a blow , and Russia was set free for ever . [ Note : The reader will remember that Constantinople ( also called New Rome ) fell to the Turks in 1453 , and thus the Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire came to an end . This same Ivan III married the niece of the last Byzantine Emperor , and so claimed for himself a position in the line of Christian Emperors beginning with Constantine , and for Moscow the position of Third Rome , the capital thenceforth of the Christian world . ] Now back to the time of Sergius . The Metropolitan , Alexis , being eighty - four years old , perceived that his end was approaching , and he wished to give Sergius his blessing and appoint him as his successor . But the humble monk , in great alarm , declared that he could not accept and wear the sacred picture of the Blessed Virgin suspended by gold chains , which the primate had sent him from his own breast on which it had hung . " From my youth up , " said he , " I have never possessed or worn gold , and how now can I adorn myself in my old age ? " St . Sergius died at an extremely advanced age in 1392 , amidst the lamentations of his contemporaries .
