Suzdal Orthodox
Description:
Suzdal Orthodox – temples, 4 operating monasteries (Pokrovsky, Alexandrovsky, Rizopolozhensky, Vasilievsky), relics of Suzdal saints, a visit to the monastery bell tower, an opportunity to get acquainted with the bell ringer and listen to concerts on bells and harps, a trip to the acting monastery in Sanino with a visit to a miraculous source, a master class on icon painting by a priest-icon painter.
Sanino - once a large (in 1896 - 78 yards) village on the river Uecka, almost disappeared now - remains a dozen houses, really residential - less than half.
People come here to the newly restored St. Nicholas Monastery in 2001. Abbot Mother Irina and about 20 nuns and novices are ascetics in it. The newly built “road that leads to the temple” near it ends. Both temples of the twentieth century survived intact, preserving iconostases, utensils, vestments of priests - maybe that's why icons myrrhage here, frescoes on the walls are self-cleaned, and ten years ago, a summer girl scored a healing spring on which a chapel was put. St. Nicholas Church is still unlocked by the same huge ancient wrought-iron keys that in the God-fighting years of the temple headwoman, nun Angelina, having locked the temple, buried in the forest, not telling anyone where, and only returning after 17 years of Stalinist camps, brought back and reopened the temple.
The tombstone on the tomb of Angelina with two keys carved on it can be seen at the altar of the temple. You can hear unusual stories associated with the icons of God the Father of Sabaoth, “Satisfy my sorrows”, “Unexpected Joy”, self-recovering frescoes or with the shadow of the Virgin and Child appearing on the wall. Bring water from a sanctified spring. It is enough just to drive two dozen kilometers from the city of Suzdal.
The price includes:
Suzdal Kremlin with Christmas Cathedral, Kremlin Street, Trading Square with the Resurrection Cathedral, Old Street on Posad with the Lazarev Church, Rizopolozhensky, Vasilievsky, Alexander, Pokrovsky and Spaso-Eufimiev monasteries, operating temple in the village of Sanino.
