At the request of Prince Vasily Ioannovich, he arrived in Russia and began translating into church Slavic language Greek church liturgical books. He wrote apologetic and moralizing letters against Mohammedans, papism, pagans, as well as interpretations of St. John Chrysostom on the Gospels of Matthew and John.
For his straightforwardness and truth, he fell into disgrace under Metropolitan Daniel for many years: he suffered an unfair trial, false accusations, excommunication from Communion, prison, exile (a total of 26 years - six years in prison and 20 years in exile in Tver).
In the midst of suffering, the monk also acquired the great mercy of God. An angel appeared to him and said: “Be patient, old man! With these torments you will be delivered from eternal torment.” In the dungeon reverend elder wrote with charcoal on the wall a canon to the Holy Spirit, which is still read in the Church: “Who fed Israel with manna in the desert of old, fill my soul, O Master, with the All-Holy Spirit, so that I may serve You with pleasure in Him.”
Only after twenty years of staying in Tver was the monk allowed to live freely and the church ban on him was lifted. Last years The Monk Maxim the Greek spent his life in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

What date is Maxim's day?
By Christian tradition Name day is the day of remembrance of the saint after whom the person was named. How can you find out the day of a person’s name day if several dates correspond to Saint Maximus?
Name days or Angel Maxim's day occur on quite a few days of the year. In January it is the 26th, 29th and 31st, in February - the 3rd and 19th. “Spring” Maxims celebrate their name days on March 4, March 19, April 2, 23, May 11, May 13, May 27. In the summer, Maxim has only three dates for Angel Day: August 12, 24 and 26. There are many “autumn” Maxims: October 2, 18 and 28, October 8 and 22, November 5, 10, 12 and 24. And the last to celebrate their name days are the Maxims, whose saints are venerated on December 5 and 19.
The Monk Maxim of Athos is venerated on January 26, on March 19 by the Venerable Martyr Maxim, and on December 19 by the Metropolitan of Kiev, St. Maxim.
Of all these days, each Maxim chooses only one date as his name day, which coincides with his birthday or goes immediately after this day. 
The saint, revered on this day, will be the heavenly patron of Maxim. If this saint also has other days of memory, then such dates will be considered the person’s small name days. Sometimes priests, during the rite of Baptism, name the child with another name of the saint, which does not correspond to the date of birth of the baby. This is done only with the consent of the parents.
In Rus', the celebration of name days began in the distant 17th century. At that time, name days were considered a more important holiday than the usual birthday of a person, which was not celebrated at all.
On the day of the Angel, a believer must attend a church service, confess there and receive communion.

The secret of Maxim's name and character
The energy of this name is literally imbued with ambitious aspirations, and this influence is noted on all main points. Here is the melody of the name, dying on the highest note, and the specific meaning, and associations, and well-known historical and literary images, starting from the Maxim machine gun with its inventor of the same name and ending with Maxim Perepelitsa and even the Max characters of advertising videos. In a word, all forces are concentrated on one thing and, when they resonate, they achieve enormous power. I wouldn't say it's that favorable.
Firstly, pride and ambition are good when they are in moderation, and therefore it is very good if in the process of upbringing these traits were balanced in Maxim. If so, then the positive energy of his name can ensure the goodwill of others, and enviable energy will allow him to achieve good luck in a career. Secondly, very often pride encounters tough and sometimes cruel resistance from people, and it is possible that Max will one day not have enough strength to defend his dignity. He may break, and if this happens, then the big name will only depress his pride even more, he risks losing his self-confidence, becoming depressed, and luck will turn away from him. At least in practice, such cases have been noted more than once, which makes it clear that moderation never hurts. However, Max often manages to find strong patrons who allow him to avoid such a fate, although at the same time he loses his independence.
Maxim can be especially lucky in his younger years, when inflated self-esteem is less dangerous, and in some cases even helps to assert himself. Moreover, usually the energy of the name pulls him into intellectual or other circles considered elite, where beautiful image valued more than strength. This is especially true for women, for whom at this age the name Max alone is enough to awaken romantic dreams. The only pity is that youth always passes very quickly. Sometimes, even after growing up, Max tries to continue his youthful fun, not noticing that he looks ridiculous. In a word, a strong name is fraught with many dangers and temptations.
But if Maxim manages to overcome excessive vanity and pride, he can turn out to be a very extraordinary person. In this case, he will have many good chances to demonstrate his characteristic intelligence and abilities, because Maxim usually has more than enough energy, he just needs to direct it in the right direction.
Maxim is a pronounced choleric by nature. This is an extrovert with the gift of mutual understanding and innate diplomacy. Unusually quickly finds a way out of any difficult situation. They are determined, resilient and flexible people who know their capabilities well. Maxim knows how to convince people, he is an unsurpassed actor. Fixed with his pride. He has good intuition and is also a good psychologist. He tends to live in an imaginary world. He looks at everything as the ruler of the world and master. She sincerely wants to help others and easily reveals her talents. Maxim has a developed animal instinct for survival. He treats life like a game of chance. Very sociable, cordial and simple in communication, not a snob.
Secrets of communicating with Maxim
When you first meet Maxim, his manner of calling himself can say a lot about his character. More balanced ones tend to introduce themselves as simply Maxim, but if he prefers the name Max, then this usually indicates significant pride, ambition, and possibly a tendency towards elitism. Accordingly, communication with him must be built on this basis.
Saints
The Monk Maxim the Greek worked diligently in the field of spiritual enlightenment in Rus'. After the request of Prince Vasily of Moscow to send a Greek scholar to Rus', the monk Maxim received instructions to travel from Athos to Moscow. Upon arrival, he was tasked with translating the interpretation of the Psalter into the Slavic language, then the interpretation of the book of the Acts of the Apostles and several liturgical books. He wrote letters against Mohammedans, papism, and pagans. Translated interpretations of St. John Chrysostom into the Gospels of Matthew and John. But after Maxim condemned the prince’s desire to dissolve his marriage with his wife, the Monk Maxim was imprisoned. Six years later he was released and sent to Tver. There he wrote an autobiographical work, “Thoughts with which a sorrowful monk, imprisoned, consoled himself and strengthened himself in patience.” The Monk Maxim the Greek spent the last years of his life in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

Be a great family man
Be a hero, our Maxim.
We wish to conquer you
All the high peaks
In your honesty and strength
Always be invincible.
Let there be decent money,
May your home always make you happy,
Let the car be cool
Let there be enough fire in your heart.
Happy holiday to you, Maxim,
Be happy and be loved
Be beautiful, be beautiful
Insatiable and playful!
Be cool and sexy
Interesting, non-trivial.
The main thing is to be healthy
And find your love!
