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.

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.

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.
