Road to the Monastery - a photo on Flickriver

            Nilo-Stolobenskaya Desert is a monastery on Stolobny Island on Lake Seliger. This monastery arose on the site of the feat of the Monk Nile, Stolobensky miracle worker..Nilova desert gave the world not only architectural masterpieces and spiritual treasures, but also significant scientific achievements..In 1528 the hermit Nil Stolobensky settled on the island of Lake Seliger. Prior to that, for thirteen years he lived in a dense forest on the banks of the Seremkhi River, but there he could not hide from human fame. In the first year of life on the island, he digs up a small cave in the mountain, where he spends the winter. In 1529 he built a hut and a chapel on the island. On December 7, 1554, the Monk Neil died, in 1560 a chapel was erected over his grave..The most intensive construction was carried out in the monastery in the XVIII century. The works were supervised by the contractor Foma Pavlov, a peasant of the sub-monastic suburb of the Trinity Selijarovsky monastery, a highly-gifted master. More than ten years, he has worked in Nil's desert..At the beginning of the 20th century, the Nilova Pustyn was the second most visited pilgrimage site in the world after the Holy Sepulcher. However, after the Bolsheviks came to power in Russia in 1917, her life quickly began to decline. On February 25, 1919, the cancer with the relics of Rev. Nil Stolobensky was blasphemously uncovered. And later his relics were removed from the monastery and placed in the temple of the city of Ostashkov, which houses the exhibition of the local history museum. The Nilo-Stolobensky monastery was plundered, the new rulers seized more than 33 pounds of silver, two pounds of valuables from the monastery..In 2003, the relics of St. Nectarius (Telyashin) were acquired. It happened during the excavations in the basement of the Epiphany Cathedral, where relics are now stored..By the beginning of the 20th century, the Nilova Hermitage represented a grandiose complex, the dominant structures of which were the Epiphany Cathedral, the bishops' cells, as well as a long granite embankment with the Bishops and Svetlitskaya towers. The monastery lost its early secluded scenic appearance and began to resemble the St. Petersburg city square. In the formation of this image of the desert, the leading role belonged not so much to the classical central cathedral as to the high granite embankment. Despite the difference in functional, chronological, stylistic features, all buildings and structures of the Nilova Hermitage represented a single and harmonious architectural complex, which is now a unique world-class architectural and landscape monument.
