Town and church holidays October 11
The Orthodox Church honors the memory of Saint Chariton the Confessor, Bishop of Iconium.
The Monk Chariton lived in Iconium (the modern Turkish city of Konya) during the reign of the Roman Emperor Aurelian (III century). He was persecuted by idolaters and, after being tortured, was thrown into prison.
During the reign of Emperor Tacitus, Chariton was released and went to Jerusalem.
On the way, he was attacked by thieves and thrown into a cave. What saved Khariton from death was that a snake crawled into the cave and poisoned a vessel of wine with its poison, after drinking the thieves died.
Khariton stayed to live in the cave and built a church in it. Soon he had followers and the Faran Lavra was formed in this place, which became the first monastery monastery in the Judean desert.
Desiring solitude, the monk left there, and in his new place of residence the Jericho Lavra was established in the caves of the Forty Day Mountain, and then, in the third place of solitude, the Sukkah Lavra in stream of Sukkah, between Fekua. and the Dead Sea.
Leaving the Faran Lavra, the monk left his disciples with rules, a kind of charter.
Before his death, Chariton returned to the Faran Lavra, where he died around 350.
Traditions and rituals
Among the Kharitonov people, the day was considered unlucky, so farmers tried to spend it at home, if possible, without even going into the yard. They are afraid that no one will come after them and cause harm.
Often in Khariton, newlyweds secretly visit village healers, bringing pie and honey. So they tried to calm the healer so that the future marriage would not be disturbed.
