Verse in memory of the Monk Maximus the Greek.

Stretching like a white seagull,
With a cry soaring over the sea,
So his soul, suffering,
It must have rushed to home in dreams
But he shared his fate
Only with snow-covered Russia.
He prayed for her fate
And, grieving, he forgave her everything.

The author of the beautiful verse is Valeria Chislenok!

A beautiful verse for the memory of Maxim the Greek!

To the distant island of Corfu
My dove flies.
Maybe he brings greetings?
From a side, from a stranger.
Maxim the Greek often
It was sad in his soul.
In a foreign land, in a difficult life,
He did a lot in the struggle.
And Russia will not forget
The feat of the monk in centuries.
The name will be unforgettable,
On icons and in psalms.

The Monk Maxim the Greek.
The name of this Saint is very revered in Orthodoxy.
After all, it was the Russian Orthodox Church, in 1988, that he was canonized in the face of the Monk.
The days of his memory are:
January 21 (February 3) - after the day of his death.
June 21 (July 4) - after the day when his relics were found.
The main attribute of St. Maximus on the icons is his thick beard.
He was a book writer, translator, historian.
Despite the fact that he was from Greece, much was done by his participation for Russia at that time.
Hallowed be his name for centuries.
