Sveta learned to paint and she was the best helper in the world. We painted for days, as we fought the mosquitoes, deer flies and horseflies. It was all worth it as you can see from the photos that the place has brightened up a whole bunch…
The village was beautiful and was surprisingly packed with people. I would say around 50 people all together had come down and decided to spend sometime working on their village homes. Then a surprise was discovered, the monastery is being rebuilt and the work is being done as I write this. In fact the plans are to rebuild the original church and rebuild the bell tower. I am not sure about the rest of the buildings?
They have an archeology group digging out the foundation of the old church and they are sifting the dirt for any little trinket and artifact. I am so excited to see this monastery being rebuilt and I hope I live long enough to see the finished product…
Our Village Monastery in Russia – The St. Nicholas Monastery…
Read the above article and learn about the old female monastery that was built where the village stands now. The area is full of history and like I have said before we have a running blessed spring of holy water nearby and lots of other religious goodies all over the place…
That is one small reason why I love Russia: The Russian Village – Sunrise to Freedom…
