The Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery sprang up on the Vologda River, where there passed the trade route from Moscow to Arkhangelsk. It was founded in 1371 by the Monk Dmitry Prilutsky, a disciple of Sergius of Radonezh, the founder of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the spiritual center of Russia. Thanks to the reputation of the Holy Father-founder and the strategic position, the monastery enjoyed the patronage of Russian tsars, including Ivan IV the Terrible. ⠀ #traveltorussia #russia #beautifulrussia #visitrussia #vologda #velestravel #grouptourstorussia #individualtourstorussia #exclusivetourstorussia #россия #вологда #путешествияпороссии #велестрэвелрф

Amazing Churches You Didn’t Know About: St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Peterhof Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Peterhof  is located outside the city centre and you can easily reach it by bus. During the navigation period you can take a ракета (hydrofoil) from the Neva banks in the city centre to get to Peterhof across the Gulf of Finland. Peter and Paul Cathedral can be seen from a long distance. As soon as you get close to Peterhof you clearly recognize the shape of a Russian orthodox church massively dominating the surrounding area. ⠀ In 1892 it was decided to create the cathedral after Emperor Alexander II’s approval of Николай Султанов (Nikolay Sultanov)’s design, a civil engineer. The project aimed to provide local residents, who weren’t allowed into palace churches, a bigger place to gather for the religious service. The construction took many years and it was finally completed under Nicholas II in 1905. In 1935 the church was shut down. During World War II it was seriously damaged as the whole Peterhof. It was used by German military forces as artillery headquarter, to spy on Soviet ships and then it became a warehouse. Eventually after long restoration works, the first church service was celebrated on January, 19, 1990. ⠀ The cathedral was designed in a Kievan Russian style as most of the churches of that time. The façade is decorated with polychrome bricks, red and green roofs and it resemble in many features Saint Basil Cathedral in Moscow. It has four entrances, an anteroom for outdoor clothes and a cover galley that goes round the church. The main room where they celebrate the church service is high and bright and boasted a wonderful acoustic. On the seconds floor there is usually the church choir whose voices gently accompany the service. ⠀ #traveltorussia #russia #beautifulrussia #visitrussia #peterhof #stpeterburg #velestravel #grouptourstorussia #individualtourstorussia #exclusivetourstorussia #россия #петергоф #санктпетербург #путешествияпороссии #велестрэвелрф

The Conception convent is the oldest convent in Moscow. In 1360 St. Alexy, Metropolitan of Moscow, built a wooden Church of the conception of the righteous Anna and founded a convent, the first nuns of which were his sisters, hegumeness Juliana and nun Eupraxia. In 1547 the convent was destroyed by fire and placed closer to the Kremlin. ⠀ The original location housed a small monastic community that became a monastery in 1584 under the patronage of Czar Feodor Ioannovich. At the same time they built there the Church of the Conception of the righteous Anne with the chapel of the Great Martyr Theodore Stratelates, the Church of the Martyress Irina and the refectory Church in honor of the Nativity of the Virgin. The convent was seriously damaged during the Polish invasion in 1612, but was soon restored. ⠀ In 1696 the gate Church of the Vernacularize Image of the Saviour was built at the expense of Andrey Rimsky-Korsakov, nobleman of Peter I. In 1766 the temple in the name of the Mother of God of “the Burning Bush” was constructed over the graves of the founders of the monastery, hegumeness Juliana and nun Eupraxia. ⠀ Within the period from 1885 till 1887 the temple became part of the monastic buildings, and the chapel in the name of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God was created. Within the period from 1804 till 1807 they replaced ancient temples with the grandiose Nativity Cathedral with side-chapels of the Conception of righteous Anna, the Great Martyr Theodore Stratelates, St. Alexy, Metropolitan of Moscow, and the Kazan icon of the Mother of God. Since ancient times an asylum for aged nuns and a handicraft workshop were established in the convent. They intended a newly constructed within the period from 1844 till 1850 separate stone building (architect M. D. Bykovsky) with the temple of the Descent of the Holy Spirit for the asylum. In the XIX and the XX centuries many residential and maintenance buildings appeared on the territory of the convent. ⠀ #traveltorussia #russia #beautifulrussia #visitrussia #moscow #velestravel #grouptourstorussia #individualtourstorussia #exclusivetourstorussia #россия #москва #путешествияпороссии #велестревэлрф
