Monastery in the frosty morning - a photo on Flickriver

            View of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra in the early frosty morning..The abode of the Life-Giving Trinity was founded by St. Sergius of Radonezh in 1337 on Makovets hill, 70 km north-east of Moscow.
For centuries, the Trinity-Sergius Lavra is one of the most revered all-Russian shrines, the largest center of spiritual education and culture.
A unique library of handwritten and old-printed books has been collected at the Lavra for centuries. Lavra moths founded and spiritually equipped hundreds of Russian monasteries. In the years 1608-1610. the monastery withstood the siege of thirty thousand troops of the Polish-Lithuanian invaders..Since 1814, the Moscow Theological Academy is located on the territory of the Lavra - the oldest institution of higher education in Russia, founded in 1685 in Moscow. Translated after the fire in 1812 in the Lavra, the Academy was located in the former royal palaces of the XVII century.
In 1920, the Lavra was closed, the History and Art Museum and other institutions were housed in its buildings, and some of the buildings were occupied by housing. The revival of the monastery began in 1946. In 1949, the Moscow Theological Academy resumed its activities within the walls of the Monastery. In 1971, 1988, 1990 In the Trinity-Sergius monastery, local councils were held.
