Iverskaya Chasovnya

This historical building is a gateway to red square between otechestvennoy museum and state historical museum. Be prepared for police inspection before entering. There is a place for worship for Christians at the middle of two gateways.

Good to wordsihp

It´s a small chapel in the entrance to the red square. I didn't have the chance to take a look inside. So if anyone had, please post some photos.

In Stalin's times, the chapel was demolished so that military equipment could pass to Red Square during parades and a column of demonstrators. It's good that justice was restored and the chapel returned to its rightful place.

And beyond that door Where the people are falling There is an Iberian heart Red, burning. And the hallelujah pours To swarthy fields. I kiss you on the chest Moscow land. M. Tsvetaeva The Iveron Icon of the Mother of God in the chapel at the Resurrection Gate since the 17th century has been and remains the most revered Moscow shrine. For the first time, an exact list from the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God was brought from Athos to Moscow on October 13, 1648 and was temporarily placed in the Greek Nikolsky Monastery. Later in 1680, a chapel was erected, where the monks of the Iveron community served.
