February 25 in the church calendar is the Day of Remembrance of St. Tarasia, Archbishop of Constantinople. As a child he received a good education, because he was born in a pious family of patriots. Initially, he worked as a clerk and an adviser at the court of Emperor Konstantin Bagryanorodny. At that time, heresy about iconoclasm and Bishop Paul, who then sat on the throne, could not overcome it. Paul pointed to Tarasia as his successor, when the emperor and his mother came to him, Queen Irina. Therefore, in 784, Tarasius became a bishop. He did a lot of good things, but left because he did not want to break the emperor's marriage with Mary. He died in 806.
