russia, Podmoskovye-West
The Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in the middle of the 17th century. in the Moscow region by Patriarch Nikon as a prototype of the holy places in Palestine - hence its name "New Jerusalem". According to the plan of the patriarch, it was to become the center of the Orthodox world. The monastery operated until 1919, then it was closed and transformed into a historical and architectural museum. During the Second World War, he was badly damaged. In 1994, the holy monastery was again handed over to the church, and now restoration work is underway there.
The architectural ensemble of the New Jerusalem Monastery consists of the Resurrection Cathedral (built in the image of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem), the residence of Patriarch Nikon, the underground church of Constantine and Helena, the Church of the Nativity with refectory chambers and other structures surrounded by fortress walls with towers, holy gates and a gate church. Outside the walls of the monastery are also the Skete of Nikon and the Museum of Wooden Architecture, and in the Resurrection Cathedral of the monastery you can see the grave of its founder, His Holiness Patriarch Nikon.

Morning of March 8th. Soul and body are already tired of barbecue and sauna weekends spent with relatives in the Istra region. At a party - good, but at home - better))) After the on-duty exchange of congratulations (it still started on the 5th), I quickly gathered my family on the way back to Moscow. The suburbs had not yet swayed, so the roads were free. Surprisingly, I did not have to stand in the usual traffic jam at the entrance to the New Jerusalem Monastery from Buzharovo. A stunning view of this majestic monastery appears when you drive down the hill with a sharp turn into Nikulino near the church of St.
