Description:
Brave island of Valaam
The Transfiguration of Valaam Monastery.
Upon arrival in the Monastery Bay, a tour of the Central Estate of the monastery begins: a visit to the Transfiguration Cathedral.
The crossing of Lake Ladoga to Nikon Bay is an excursion that passes through the area called “New Jerusalem”. (Sunday skit, and cozy)
Gethsemane hermitage with a wooden church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos. Excursion to the Mount of Olives, where one of the most poetic views of Ladoga opens from the chapel of the Ascension of the Lord.
Lunch at the refectory.
