Mom herself was very beautiful and wealthy, but at the same time she also had a rich inner world. She raised her two daughters in the same spirit. The entire family was persecuted for their faith.

The first of them is Saint Gury of Kazan and Sviyazhsk. It is to him that they pray on this day to protect children and adults from various misfortunes.
Saint Gury
He took this name along with his tonsure, but in fact his name was Grigory Grigorievich Rugotin. He was born into a poor family and was forced to work from a young age. So, he was in the service of Prince Ivan Penkov and held the position of manager in his house. Saint Gury was a deeply religious man and consciously renounced relations with women. But as fate would have it, he was undeservedly accused of having an affair with the prince’s wife and thrown into prison.
But even there he did not give up. Saint Gury wrote small educational books. They briefly outlined the literacy for teaching children. He even managed to sell his works, and he gave the proceeds to the poor. After some time, Saint Gury was released. He immediately took monastic vows in one of the strictest monasteries - Joseph-Volokolamsk. Some time later, Saint Gury became the abbot of this monastery and remained in office for 9 whole years.
During this time, he built many monasteries, churches and temples, as well as one Annunciation Cathedral. It was in it that the relics of St. Gury rested for a long time. At the moment they are in the cemetery church of Kazan. Since the name Gury is quite rare in our time, George also celebrates his name day on October 17th.
Venerable Paul the Simple and Saint Dmitry of Rostov
Speaking about this date, one cannot help but recall such a saint as Pavel the Simple. He lived in the 4th century and was a fairly simple and kind man. It is on October 17 that all men who bear the proud name Pavel celebrate their name day. He had a wife. At 60, he found out that she was cheating on him, so he left her and never returned. Paul dedicated the rest of his life to God. He came to the cell of Saint Anthony and began to ask him to take him in, but he refused him. Paul stayed there for three days. Saint Anthony took pity on him and let him in. The Monk Paul the Simple was very humble; he fasted and lived in constant prayer. For such a feat, the Lord gave him the gift of casting out demons.
