What a church holiday tomorrow, March 27

March 27 in the church calendar is the day of memory

of Saint Venedikt

.

He was the son of a noble Roman from Nursia.

He went to study in Rome as a child.

However, the young man decided to leave the big city and settle in a small settlement high in the mountains.

Eventually, Venedikt realized that he wanted to live his whole life as a hermit.

Having lived in the cave for three years, he was able to toughen up physically and spiritually.

People began to come to the hermit to receive blessings.

And then they were even asked to head the local monastery after the death of the abbot.

However, Venedikt had too strict ideas about monastic life.

People did not like them very much, so later he returned to live in the cave again.

Venedikt had several students, whom he divided into 12 groups.

Each had its own abbot.

And Venedikt himself oversees everything.

In 530, due to the envy of the monks, he had to move to Mount Cassino, where he later founded his famous Monte Cassino monastery.

Later, he even drew up a statute for the monastery, which became the main one for Western monasticism.

Later, it became the world-famous Benedictine order.

The saint died in his monastery in 547.
