{이콘]표상의 성모.러시아.야로슬라들 (Jaroslavl)화파.18세기.60x51.5cm

 

콘스탄티노플의 블라헤르린지역에는 귀중한 유물인 성모의 머리수건이 보존되어 있다.

이와 같은 성화(Icon)와 후에 파괴된, 기도하는 성모를 묘사한,

은혜를 베푸는 종교화는 성모성화의 전형 (典型)으로서 그 시원적 (始原的)인 주제였으며,

수즈달 시민들에 의해 점령당한 노프고로드시를 구출(1170년)한 이후로는

러시아에서 표준 성화로서 특히 경배되었다.

 

이 점령 광경 자체가 호평받는 성화의 주제로 다루어졌는데, "성벽의 성모"라고도 불리우며,

이것은 바로 그곳에 이 성화를 세웠던 사실에 연유한다. 표상의 성모는 노프고로드시의 수호신으로 되었다.

 

성모는 기도드리는 자세로 팔을 올리고 있는데, 손바닥이 밖으로 향하게 묘사되어 있다.

그녀의 가슴에는 광륜(光輪)속에 그리스도 임마누엘이

한 손에 성서 두루마리를 들고 다른 손은 축복을 내리며 올리고 있다.

 

관람자 측에서 볼 때에 그림의 왼쪽 가장자리에는 성 게오르기오스와 로마의 마카리오스(Makarius),

오른쪽에는 페르시아의 성 야고보와 기독교의 바보를 자처한 오누프리오스가 묘사 되어 있다.

 

이와 같은 성모상은 성서에 기록된 다음과 같은 말씀에서 전래되었다.

"하느님 자신의 표상으로서 동정녀가 잉태하여 아들을 낳게 되며 그의 이름이 임마누엘이다."

성모의 머리수건과 의복의 단은 금실로 짜였으며 아름답고 색깔이 장식적인 이 성화는 보존상태가 양호하다.(유럽 聖畵(ICON)集에서)

ST.HILDA

St. Hilda of Whitby

614 at Northumbria, England-

-680 of natural causes

Benedictine nun

 

잉글랜드 노스움브리아의 국왕 에드윈의 조카 딸인 그녀는 성 바울리노로부터 에드윈과 함께 세례를 받았다.

그녀는 33세까지 귀족생활을 하다가, 동생인 헤레스위타가 있는 프랑스의 셀레 수녀원으로 갔다.

그러나 성 에단의 요청에 따라 고향으로 돌아왔다가, 다시 웨어 강변의 한 수녀원에서 수도생활에 전념하였다.

그 후 그녀는 하틀푸울에 수녀원을 세우고 원장이 되었다.

 

그녀는 특히 지혜의 선물을 받았다고 한다.

또한 그녀는 휘트비 시노드에서 셀트 전례를 주창하였으나,

국왕 오스위의 명에 따라 로마 전례를 받아들일만큼 순종할 줄 알았다는 것이다.

Memorial

Profile

Daughter of Hereric. Sister of Saint Hereswitha. Grand-niece of King Saint Edwin. Baptized in 627 at age thirteen by Saint Paulinus of York. Lived as a lay woman until age 33 when she became a Benedictine nun at the monastery of Chelles in France. Abbess at Hartepool, Northumberland, England. Abbess of the double monastery of Whitby, Streaneshalch. Abbess to Saint Wilfrid of York, Saint John of Beverley, and three other bishops. Patroness and supporter of learning and culture, including patronage of the poet Caedmon.

Hilda and her houses followed the Celtic liturgy and rule, but many houses had adopted the continental Benedictine rule, and the Roman liturgy. Hilda convened a conference in 664 to help settle one a single rule. When the conference settled on the Roman and Benedictine, they were adopted throughout England, and Hilda insured the observance of her houses.

St. Hilda

Abbess, born 614; died 680. Practically speaking, all our knowledge of St. Hilda is derived from the pages of Bede. She was the daughter of Hereric, the nephew of King Edwin of Northumbria, and she seems like her great-uncle to have become a Christian through the preaching of St. Paulinus about the year 627, when she was thirteen years old.

 

Moved by the example of her sister Hereswith, who, after marrying Ethelhere of East Anglia, became a nun at Chelles in Gaul, Hilda also journeyed to East Anglia, intending to follow her sister abroad. But St. Aidan recalled her to her own country, and after leading a monastic life for a while on the north bank of the Wear and afterwards at Hartlepool, where she ruled a double monastery of monks and nuns with great success, Hilda eventually undertook to set in order a monastery at Streaneshalch, a place to which the Danes a century or two later gave the name of Whitby.

 

Under the rule of St. Hilda the monastery at Whitby became very famous. The Sacred Scriptures were specially studied there, and no less than five of the inmates became bishops, St. John, Bishop of Hexham, and still more St. Wilfrid, Bishop of York, rendering untold service to the Anglo-Saxon Church at this critical period of the struggle with paganism. Here, in 664, was held the important synod at which King Oswy, convinced by the arguments of St. Wilfrid, decided the observance of Easter and other moot points. St. Hilda herself later on seems to have sided with Theodore against Wilfrid. The fame of St. Hilda’s wisdom was so great that from far and near monks and even royal personages came to consult her. Seven years before her death the saint was stricken down with a grievous fever which never left her till she breathed her last, but, in spite of this, she neglected none of her duties to God or to her subjects. She passed away most peacefully after receiving the Holy Viaticum, and the tolling of the monastery bell was heard miraculously at Hackness thirteen miles away, where also a devout nun named Begu saw the soul of St. Hilda borne to heaven by angels.

 

With St. Hilda is intimately connected the story of Caedmon (q. v.), the sacred bard. When he was brought before St. Hilda she admitted him to take monastic vows in her monastery, where he most piously died.

 

The cultus of St. Hilda from an early period is attested by the inclusion of her name in the calendar of St. Willibrord, written at the beginning of the eighth century. It was alleged at a later date the remains of St. Hilda were translated to Glastonbury by King Edmund, but this is only part of the "great Glastonbury myth." Another story states that St. Edmund brought her relics to Gloucester. St. Hilda’s feast seems to have been kept on 17 November. There are a dozen or more old Egnlish churches dedicated to St. Hilda on the northeast coast and South Shields is probably a corruption of St. Hilda.
