Tour to Sergiev Posad or New Jerusalem
Resurrection Monastery

Sergiev Posad, located 71 km from Moscow, is one of the cities that form the so called Golden Ring, the popular route through the ancient lands of Russia. The town known since 1340, is a picturesque place famous for the imposing monastery-fortress the Monastery of the Holy Trinity of St. Sergius. It is a center of great religious and cultural value. Its architectural ensemble consists of the tower and the walls of the ancient fortresses, the Trinity Cathedral, the Dukhovskaya Church, the Assumption (Uspensky) Cathedral, the Church of Zosima and Savvaty. The monk Sergius of Radonezh founded a wooden temple here in 1340 and gradually it became the largest monastery in the country. Icon painters Andrei Rublev and Daniel Chorny decorated later the main monastery church with world famous frescoes.  The suburbs of Sergiyev Posad are also very attractive and you can enjoy the Russian nature, quiet rivers, small villages and vast spaces.

New Jerusalem Resurrection Monastery

The famous New Jerusalem Resurrection Monastery is located about 40 kilometers northwest of Moscow. In the middle of the XVII century, the head of Russian Orthodox church, Patriarch Nikon and Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich decided to build a monastery on the Istra River, similar to the one in the Holy Land in Jerusalem. At that time, the Ottoman Empire dominated the land of Palestine and visiting Jerusalem by Christians was associated with danger. The aim of the ambitious project of Patriarch Nikon was to recreate a spirit of holy places on Russian land but not to make an exact copy of architectural objects of the Holy Land.  The Resurrection (Voskresenskiy) Cathedral is the counterpart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its side chapels and the underground St Constantine and Helena Church is the counterpart of the cavernous Palestinian church. The natural landscape around the monastery bears Biblical names: a mount of Tabor, Sinai, Mount of Olives, the Jordan river (Istra), and the Garden of Gethsemane.
