The final part of our little journey. And near Moscow there is the city of Sergiev Posad. Very touristy place. When I first went there, it was summer and there were a lot of people. And I had the feeling that I was in a bazaar. I couldn't concentrate enough to enjoy the subtle beauty of this place. And now, it's just us.)
This complex is surrounded by a fence. Therefore, the first thing you can see is the roofs.
We approach the main entrance.
Now we pass the gate.
We pass through the alley and are at the fork.
We go straight and right.
Here is the coffin of St. Sergius of Radonezh. He made it for himself. It used to stand without a glass box. But people knowing about the healing power coming from the coffin, began to bite off the pieces for themselves. Many people believed that if could take a bite , you would never have any problems with your teeth. Therefore, part of the coffin wall is missing.
Another side of this cathedral.
And here at the bottom left-they collect holy water.
In the summer, there was a full bowl of water.
And this is the place where the incorruptible body of Sergius of Radonezh is kept.
Bell Tower.
Shop of icons and books.
Exit through the main entrance. Here on the right is a shop with various themed products.
Sprint tour)) For me, this is a very beautiful and unusual place. When I first went there, I had the feeling that after many years, I finally came home. And I've only just noticed that I've never felt this way anywhere else.
