Chapter 75 The Messy Slavic Factions

"Aww! It hurts so much! Xiao Mo, stop it!!!"

Chen Fan, who was hugged by Mordred and plucked his hair, waved his arm in vain and screamed, making Mordred couldn't help showing a sadistic smile on his face: "What's wrong, what's wrong, sir It’s just that you want to help a lady keep warm, you, Chen, don’t even have this bit of sympathy, do you?”

"Nonsense! Is the co-author pulling your hair out, is it!?" The long hair was pulled back and forth by Mordred, and Chen Fan couldn't help feeling angry from his heart, turning his head and biting it, almost biting it Mordred's hand.

"I'll go! Chen Fan, do you really want to be a dog?" Mordred was also taken aback, and quickly let go of Chen Fan's hair.

"Okay!" Belia put down the strange woman slowly, and couldn't help admonishing the two of them, "Don't worry about it, put a layer of warm clothes on her first, and don't get killed just because of the mischief."

Seeing what Beria said, Chen Fan and Mordred looked at each other and pouted.

Then Mordred picked up Chen Fan and came to the woman, squatted down so that Chen Fan's hair could touch the woman, and watched Chen Fan's hair automatically wrapping around the woman's body to form a tight clothing, while marveling: "Other Not to mention, if you, surnamed Chen, want to be a tailor, you won't starve yourself to death."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes directly at this: "Put it down, why don't you say that I can still make metal? If I really want to, I will change my career and become an exporter. Wouldn't it be more profitable than tailoring?"

While Chen Fan and Mordred were quarreling with each other, the woman had already put on the fine and soft warm clothes. After Chen Fan's hair stopped growing, Mordred stood up and used Chen Fan's The short legs were massaging his numb parts, and Chen Fan rolled his eyes again.

After roughly checking the woman's body temperature and breathing, Beria felt relieved, stood up and moved her body twice: "The current situation has stabilized, but as for the identity, I can't confirm it for the time being. I personally speculate that it is the floating spirit of the Slavic system." It's more likely."

"Why?" Chen Fan stopped bickering with Mordred, and looked at Beria curiously.

"First of all," Beria was also happy to explain to Chen Fan who was full of curiosity when there was no mobile phone signal and there was nothing to do before the woman woke up. He had a good meal, "Her hair is golden, this hair color is generally more common in the Holy Roman Empire and Russkiev, and it is also found in the Americas, but it is more or less not so innocent, close to the platinum hair color .”

"Oh, is it because there are too many mixed races on your side?"

No matter what Chen Fan said, there was something wrong with it. I always felt that he was mocking Beria, who was of mixed American blood, and glanced at him suspiciously, but she didn't see any clues: "You can say that, but if you don't want me, I feel like I'm being ridiculed." If so, pay more attention to the way you speak."

Chen Fan wanted to say something more, but Mordred covered his mouth: "Hey, this kid talks yin and yang all day long, Beria, go ahead and talk, the mythology system of our Holy Roman Empire is too complicated, and the federation absorbed Too many systems lead to too many systems, and I haven’t learned the content of the Slavic system, so it just happens to be a class.”

Naturally, Beria didn't bother to argue too much with Chen Fan, she cleared her throat and continued: "Early Slavic mythology has always been a challenge for historians to study. Because unlike many other myths, they have no existing original materials. The early Slavs did not even leave records of their gods, prayers, or rituals. However, secondary sources, mainly written by monks during the Christianization of the Slavic country, provide a rich cultural record intertwined with the mythology of the region.

The key takeaway is that the ancient Slavic mythology and religious system lasted for about six centuries until the arrival of Christianity in your Holy Roman Empire. "

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mordred was also embarrassed when he heard this, and waved his hand to signal Beria to turn the page quickly.

Belia didn't mean to embarrass Mordred either, and continued to explain: "Most Slavic mythology is characterized by gods with dual and opposite aspects, and some seasonal rituals and celebrations are held according to the agricultural cycle.

Babel scholars believe that Slavic mythology dates back to the Proto-Indo-European period, and even to the Neolithic age.In the early days the Proto-Slavic tribes were divided into different groups, consisting of Eastern, Western Slavs and South Slavs.Each group created its own unique localized myths, gods and rituals based on the beliefs and legends of the original Proto-Slavs.Some East Slavic traditions have some overlap with the gods and customs of their Middle Eastern neighbors.

The dominant Slavic indigenous religious structure lasted for about 600 years. In the late 12th century, invaders from what is now the Danish Commonwealth began to enter the Slavic regions.At that time Bishop Absalon, king Valdemar my tutor, was replacing the old Slavic pagan tools with Christianity.On one occasion, he ordered the tearing down of a statue of the god Svantvet in the temple of Arkona, an event considered to be the beginning of the end of ancient Slavic paganism. "

As she spoke, Beria realized that she was going too far, and she also had some meanings aimed at the Holy Roman Empire, so she quietly turned around: "Well, unlike the Trinity monotheism of Christianity, there are many gods in Slavic mythology , many of which had dual aspects. The god Svarog or Rod was a creator god who was considered the father god of many other figures in Slavic mythology, including the god of thunder and Perun, the god of the sky. His opposite was associated with the sea and chaos Veles, together they bring balance to the world.

Of course, there are also seasonal deities in the mythology system, such as Jarilo, who is associated with the fertility of the land in spring, and Marzanna, the goddess of winter and death.Fertility goddesses like Mokosh watch over women, while Zorya represents the rising and setting of the sun at dusk and dawn each day.

In the Slavic creation myth, in the beginning there was only darkness, inhabited by Rod, and an egg containing Svarog.The egg cracked, and Svarog crawled out; the dust from the broken shell formed the tree of gods, which rose and separated the sky from the sea.Svarog used the gold powder of the underworld to represent fire, and created the world full of life, as well as the sun and moon.Fragments from the bottom of the eggs were collected and shaped into humans and animals.

There are different versions of this creation story in different Slavic regions.They almost always included two gods, one dark and one light, representing the underworld and heaven.In some stories life was formed from eggs, while in others it came from the sea or sky.In a further version of the story, humans were formed from clay, and while the god of light formed angels, the god of darkness created demons to provide balance. "

When Chen Fan heard this, he started to move again, but fortunately, Mordred was still suppressing him.

Beria also glanced at Chen Fan angrily: "I know what you want to say, but what does this have to do with the legend of Pangu in the Central Plains, so don't embarrass me, an American who grew up in Fusang, and Mo Dredd is a Holy Roman Empire man, okay?

Far away, it's time to talk about the Orthodox Church issue in Russkiev.

In the 3rd century, with the development and growth of Christians in different cultural regions, the thoughts within the orthodox church gradually diversified, and the judgment of who is orthodox and who is heretical is further intensified.In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine I of the West and Emperor Licini of the East promulgated the "Edict of Milan", which fully legalized Christians, a folk belief that had been circulating in the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years.Later, Constantine defeated Licinius to unify the empire and became the only legal emperor of the Roman Empire.

In 325, Constantine held the first ecumenical council in Nicaea. Constantine and Bishop Osho of Cordoba co-chaired the meeting. There were 245 members from the East and 5 from the West.The Trinity and Christology supported by Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria were established, and the Arius Jesus non-God advocated by the supporters of the popular priest Arius in the same church was condemned as heresy. The Athanasian Creed was promulgated.Christians from folk beliefs into religious groups, and the first split.Athanasius consolidated his bishop authority in Alexandria.

In 330, Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium and named the new Rome Constantinople.The Byzantine bishop was promoted to the archbishop of Constantinople in New Rome, and later became the universal patriarch.Established by the system of archbishops appointed by the national capital. On his deathbed in 337, Constantine was unctioned in Izmir.So far, the Church of Constantinople has become the capital church, and the Archbishop of Constantinople has become the imperial bishop, able to preach to the Roman emperor, nobles and other high-ranking people at close range.The center of religious rights of Christians returned to the East.

After the death of Constantine, the empire was divided again. In 355, Eastern Roman Emperor Constantius II exiled Bishop Liberio of Rome and supported Phyllis II, but was resisted by the Roman citizens.Felice was driven away, and Libero was restored.The dispute over religious rights between the Eastern Empire and the Western Church intensified. In 381, Theodosius I convened the Second Ecumenical Council in Constantinople. Timothy, Bishop of Alexandria, Morido, Bishop of Antioch, Archbishop Natalius and his successor St. Gregory Nasci On the main meeting, 150 oriental councilors.After the meeting, the remaining Arians in the empire were persecuted by the whole country.Orthodox Christianity established.

After the Orthodox Christians solved the Arians problem, they gradually turned their attention to the polytheistic groups in the Roman Empire. In 391, Dai Fulu, bishop of Alexandria, obtained the consent of Theodosius I and launched a campaign of destruction against religious sites, temples and other pagan properties in ancient Egypt.Cultural relics such as the Temple of Serapis and the Library of Alexandria were burned by mobs who believed in Christianity.Christians have completed the transition from being persecuted to being persecuted.

In 393, Theodosius made Christianity the state religion.The Jewish synagogue in Alexandria was subsequently looted and destroyed, but the violence in Alexandria was suppressed through the legal skills of the socialite Hypatia.After the death of Theodosius, the empire formed the Western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire of the Eastern Roman Empire. They were no longer united, and the church was further divided politically, entering the period of the Eastern and Western Churches.The empire and other non-Roman empire territories, as well as regions that intend to be independent, are also at odds with each other because of the relationship between the state religion.

In 448, the local council of Constantinople declared monosexuality a heretical doctrine. In 449, Saint Douglas, Bishop of Alexandria, persuaded Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II to hold the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Ephesus, which was presided over by 130 people.At the meeting, the one-sex doctrine, which advocated the fusion of God and man in Jesus, was legalized, allowing it to coexist with bisexualism.The Archbishop of Constantinople, Vatican, was sentenced to exile.Later Bishop Leo I of Rome called the Council of Robbers at Ephesus, and the sentence was nullified.

In 451, Eastern Roman Emperor Marsian reconvened the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Chalcedon. Archbishop Anatolyus presided over the meeting, and about 370 people participated in the meeting.Deciding monosexualism as heresy, Doug was deposed as Bishop of Alexandria.The predecessors of the five Patriarchate systems of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were established.At the same time, 23 bishops headed by Bishop Leo I of Rome drafted the Chalcedonian Creed.The bishop of Alexandria concurrently held the post of ecumenical judge, which was originally separated from the universal patriarch and the pope.

In 752, the Papal State was established based on the donation of Pepin.So far, Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem have all separated from the Roman Empire and become autonomous churches.The state church disintegrated. In 780, Roman Emperor Constantine VI succeeded. Based on the resistance of believers and clergy to the iconoclasm movement, he approached his mother, Queen Irina, to discuss the abolition of the ban. In 787, Constantine and Irina held the Seventh Ecumenical Council in Ephesus. Archbishop Thalasso and the envoys of Roman Bishop Edward I presided over the meeting, and the destruction of icons was judged as heresy.The church services in the east returned to normal.

In the 9th century AD, due to the controversy over whether the Holy Spirit of the Trinity came from the Father or from the Father and the Son, and whether the Slavic worship of the church after the introduction of Christianity into Bulgaria and Russkiev was reasonable, the churches in the East and West differentiation continued to intensify. In 820, Photios, a great man in the history of the Orthodox Church and Eastern European secular society, was born.Photios served as a professor of philosophy at the Imperial University. He opposed Rome’s harmony theory externally, and internally funded Cyril and Methodius to preach in the Slavic areas, collect ancient Greek documents left behind by wars in the 7th century, and expand the power of the church. scope.

In 851, Photios was appointed Chancellor of the Empire. In 858, Emperor Michael III deposed Archbishop Ignatius and replaced him with Photios, a layman who was not a clergyman. This was dissatisfied by the group whose main body was the monastery where Ignatius belonged.The forces of Ignatius are allied with the forces of Rome. In 867, Nicholas I, bishop of Rome, announced the depose of Photios. In 869, Emperor Basil I held the Eighth Ecumenical Council in Constantinople in order to improve the relationship with Rome, and the envoy of the bishop of Rome presided over the meeting.After the meeting, Photios was condemned for heresy.After this incident, the two religious and political forces, the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, are basically finalized.
