Avraamiyev Bogoyavlenskiy Monastyr'

We only looked outside. And I wanted inside too. The temple is closed without explanation.

According to legend, it was built on the site of the temple of the Slavic god Veles. Here, one of the first Christian missionaries, St. Abraham, crushed a stone image of a pagan god. By the way, the staff with which he accomplished this feat was given to him personally by one of the evangelists, John the Theologian. This staff was kept in the monastery until it was taken away by Ivan the Terrible on a campaign against Kazan. At the Church of Nicholas, there is a shop selling various pickles and jams of excellent quality. Everything can be tasted before buying. So don't apply go.

Beautiful view of Lake Nero! The territory is not very large, there are geese, which is interesting for children)) Services are held in the temple. The church shop has a very large selection of a variety of thematic items. At the bottom of the cafe you can taste delicious pies and purchase other monastic preparations. Feels like the place is pleasant. Just walk through the territory, see the old buildings, see the history of the monastery in the photographs on the stands, interesting. And the story is interesting.

Everything here is good, clean and well-groomed, only the temple built by Ivan 4 after the capture of Kazan requires restoration.

Quiet place. We wandered there during a blizzard, while walking through the territory did not meet a single living soul) What was especially surprising was the bricked-up entrance to the cathedral ...
