Shabbat Horim Dmitrievsky is the closest Shabbat before Holy Remembrance Day. Saint Demetrius the Great of Thessalonica.
Dmitrievskaya Shabbat was founded by Grand Duke Dmitri Donskoi. After winning the famous victory on the Kulikovo field over Mamai on September 8, 1380, Dimitri Ioanovich, upon his return from the battlefield, visited the Trinity-Sergius Monastery.
In the Trinity Monastery, the Orthodox soldiers who fell in the battle of Kulikovo were commemorated with a funeral ceremony and a joint meal.
Over time, a tradition developed to hold such a commemoration every year.
More than 250 thousand soldiers who fought for the homeland did not return from Kulikovo field. Along with the joy of victory, Mr. Loss came to their families, and this private Parents' Day actually became a universal day of remembrance in Bruce.
Dmitrievskaya's Shabbat also has a special meaning: established after the Battle of Kulikovo, it reminds us of all those who died and suffered for the Orthodox faith.
