ASCETIC WAY OF LIFE IN CHRISTIAN MONASTERIES: FEATURES OF THE TRANSITION FROM EARLY TIMES TO MODERNITY

Gulnora Khudoyberganova ,

Abstract

This article analyzes the monastic life and daily activities of the monks in terms of the centuries-old transformation of Christian asceticism. The monks studied the strict prayer and disciplinary practices required for physical and mental maturation, the Psalms reading order, the forms of collective and solitary prayer, the practice of physical labor, the special time and the order of eating. Time–finding methods, prayer-calling signs, and sessions of nuns, mutual assistance, and disciplinary measures have also been analyzed in monasteries throughout the 4th-5th centuries. The article also discusses the role of intellectual asceticism in modern monastic life and the survival of the ancient principles of asceticism.
