ANOTHER GLANCE AT THE VENERATION OF THE HOLY APOSTLE ANDREW BY ST. NAHUM OF OKHRID AND ITS POSSIBLE FOLLOWERS

Summary/Abstract: The present article pursues the modest aim of drawing attention to the messianic motif in Nahum’s Canon of St. Andrew and its possible semantic projection in Old Russian literature. This canon was brought to Russia in the 10th century when Kievan Rus’ was converted and it needed liturgical books written in the vernacular. One can assume that the compilers of the Tale of Bygone Years chronicle knew its contents and not by chance they included in this work the legend of the sojourn of St. Andrew and his disciples on Kievan territory and his prophecy. Thus continued the reception of the messianic idea that the Slavs are God's chosen ones.
