Monastery - Nilova Hermitage. Tver region. Russia.

The monastery dates back to 1528, from the moment of the arrival of the Monk Nile on the island of Stolobny, on Lake Seliger.

A few years later, after the presentation of the Monk Nil of Stolobensky, in 1594, a Blessing was given for the opening of the monastery of the Nilov Pustyn.

In the 18-19 centuries, the Nilova Pustyn Monastery was one of the largest cultural centers in Russia, with a huge library, educational institutions, with its own large production of goods and products.

It was in the Nilova desert that Leonty Magnitsky, a mathematician and teacher, studied under whom, later, the Great Lomonosov studied. Nilova Hermitage was visited by many great people, including Emperor Alexander I and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

After the blasphemous looting and partial destruction of the monastery by the Bolsheviks, the buildings were used as a colony for minors, as a prisoner of war camp, as a military hospital, as a camp site. When all the buildings of the monastery fell into disrepair and could no longer be used, without major repairs, by the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, in 1990, the monastery complex was transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.

2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the revival of the Nilo-Stolobensky Monastery. Ahead, there are still colossal works to restore the former splendor of the holy monastery. But already now, the Nilo-Stolobenskaya hermitage is the pearl of the Tver diocese. Even in spite of all the destruction that befell from the godless power, this monastery with all this lies before us in all its beauty and grandeur of the genius of architecture, the pious ancestors of the Russian land.

Today, the monastery, thanks to the governor Archimandrite Arkady (Gubanov), is being successfully restored by the brethren and already has its own autonomous production of products, which is in great demand among pilgrims and local residents.

The church ruin of the Holy Grave, also known as the Schöntal ruin, is the ruin of the Beguine Monastery church, which was built between 1543 and 1545 and burned down in 1552. This was built by Archbishop Albrecht von Brandenburg around 1500 in the "Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg". In 1540 he made his partner Agnes Pless his abbess. Already in the Schmalkaldic War in 1546 and a few years later in the Second Margrave War in 1552, the building was largely destroyed. With the dissolution of the Beguine Convent, the Aschaffenburg Church of the Holy Sepulcher was left to decay. Since the church building only stood for a short time, the presence of the beguines in Aschaffenburg's local history has only been handed down in the zoo. The ruins were later included in the park design.

Die Kirchenruine zum Heiligen Grabe, auch als Schöntalruine bekannt, ist die Ruine der 1543 bis 1545 erbauten und 1552 niedergebrannten Kirche des Beginenklosters. Dieses wurde vom Erzbischof Albrecht von Brandenburg um das Jahr 1500 im „Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg“ errichtet. Zu dessen Äbtissin machte er 1540 seine Lebensgefährtin Agnes Pless. Bereits im Schmalkaldischen Krieg 1546 und wenige Jahre später im Zweiten Markgrafenkrieg 1552 wurde das Gebäude weitestgehend zerstört. Mit der Auflösung des Beginenkonvents wurde die Aschaffenburger Grabeskirche dem Verfall preisgegeben. Da das Kirchengebäude nur kurze Zeit stand, hat sich die Anwesenheit der Beginen in der Aschaffenburger Lokalgeschichte nur im Tiergarten überliefert.Die Ruine wurde später in die Parkgestaltung mit einbezogen.

On a hilltop some 500 mts above sea level and following a hair raising drive up a serpentine and almost perpendicular road, you reach the monumental and former Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes (built in the 10th to 11th century AD). It is part of a complex that included Verdera Castle and the town of Santa Creu (Holy Cross). The architectural remains of the monastery, castle and town are apparently a unique example of the structure of a medieval settlement.

View of the New Jerusalem Monastery from the wall..The New Jerusalem Monastery is one of the most famous and revered monasteries of the central part of Russia, the main feature of which is that the Resurrection Cathedral located here was built in the image and likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Calvary in Jerusalem, although the outer monasteries are completely different from each other..In the Resurrection Cathedral, as in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, there are three main shrines of Christians:

Golgotha ​​is a small rock where Christ was crucified (in Greek the word "Golgotha" means a frontal place)

Cuvuclia - a small chapel with the Holy Sepulcher, the burial place of Christ

Temple of the Resurrection of the Savior, the place of the life-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Golgotha, the place of the crucifixion of Christ, is located on the second tier of the temple; a staircase to the right of the main entrance leads to it. In a small room, a cross was installed, made in Jerusalem and the same size as the Jerusalem Cross of God. Also here is a stone with a crack imitating a rock that broke at the time of the Savior’s death, when the blood of Christ was shed on it.

On the west side, a rotunda was attached to the temple with a huge two-tier dome, in the center of which was built a cavern, that is, a chapel with the Holy Sepulcher. Here is a bed on which the body of Christ was placed in a cave on the side of Mount Calvary.

In the temple next to the entrance is the Stone of Anointing, to which the Savior’s body was transferred, when it was removed from the cross, here he was anointed with peace (fragrant oil) and prepared for burial.

In the New Jerusalem Monastery, as in Jerusalem, the entrance to the temple is located on the south side. In the eastern part is the underground church of Saints Constantine and Helena, located at a depth of six meters. The legend has been preserved that it was at such a depth that Queen Helen found the Life-giving Cross. The Israeli temple of Constantine and Helen carved into the rock.

Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, built in 1679, is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan province and belongs to Gelug. It is reputed as “Little Potala Palace” which was built according to the complex of Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet.

The Pochaiv Lavra of God's Mother Dormition is an Orthodox Monastery in Poczajów, Ukraine. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, the most important center of Orthodox monastic life in Volhynia and Ukraine.

The history of the monastery dates back to the 13th and even the 12th century. Initially, there was a hermitage here, then an Orthodox monastery, then a Uniate Basilian monastery and again an Orthodox church of the Moscow rite. Its history is turbulent, as is the political history of these lands.

Ławra Poczajowska Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej w Poczajowie jest prawosławnym klasztorem w Poczajowie na Ukrainie. Podlega jurysdykcji Ukraińskiego Kościoła Prawosławnego Patriarchatu Moskiewskiego, najważniejszy ośrodek prawosławnego życia monastycznego na Wołyniu i Ukrainie.

Historia monastyru sięga XIII wieku a nawet XII wieku. Początkowo była tutaj pustelnia, później kolejno klasztor prawosławny, unicki Bazylianów i ponownie prawosławny obrządku moskiewskiego. Jego historia jest burzliwa, podobnie jak historia polityczna tych ziem.

Der Kapitelsaal ist die Versammlungsstätte einer klösterlichen Gemeinschaft. Oft befindet er sich im Ostflügel der Klausur und ist vom Kreuzgang aus zu erreichen.

Der Begriff leitet sich her aus der Gepflogenheit von klösterlichen Gemeinschaften, ihre Versammlungen mit einer geistlichen Lesung eines Kapitels aus der Ordensregel oder aus den Schriften der Kirchenväter zu beginnen. Der Ort dafür wurde im Lauf der Zeit als Kapitelsaal bezeichnet.

Dort fanden alltägliche wie auch herausgehobene nicht-liturgische Zusammenkünfte statt, in denen die Angelegenheiten der Gemeinschaft beraten wurden.

Besonders in der kalten Jahreszeit konnte auch das Stundengebet im Kapitelsaal stattfinden.

Der Walkenrieder Kapitelsaal ist seit 1570 evangelische Kirche. Das Gewölbe des wird von kapitelllosen Säulen getragen.

Die ursprüngliche farbige Fassung der Gewölberippen wurde in den 1980er Jahren nach Befund rekonstruiert.

Die Ausstattung des Kapitelsaals – Altarretabel, Epitaph und Holzkanzel – stammt mit Ausnahme der spätromanischen Standpiszine (Waschbecken) aus nachmönchischer Zeit.

Als Kirchensaal erhielt der Raum 1667 eine barocke Holzkanzel, die von Konrad Bonifacius aus Ellrich gefertigt wurde. Der Kanzelkorb wird von einem Delfin und einem Engel getragen. An den Brüstungsfeldern des Korbes sind eine Christusfigur, eine Figur Martin Luthers sowie Darstellungen der Evangelisten angebracht.

ΙΕΡΑ ΜΟΝΗ ΜΑΚΕΛΛΑΡΙΑΣ

Στην δεξιά όχθη του ποταμού Σελινούντα και σε απόσταση 30 χιλιομέτρων από ττην πόλη των Καλαβρύτων ορθώνεται το Μοναστήρι της Μακελλαριάς το οποίο είναι αφιερωμένο στην κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου. Χτιστηκε από τον στρατηγό του Ιουστινιανού Βελισάριο το 532 Μχ., όπως φαίνεται από την επιγραφή που σώζεται μεχρι σήμερα για να εξιλεωθεί από την σφαγή κατά την περίφημη "...Στάση του Νίκα"

Το αρχικό όνομα της Μονής ήταν Παναγία Λιθοστρωτιώτησα. Το όνομα Μακελαριά το πήρε από το μακελειό που έγινε το 1458 όταν την κατέστρεψαν οι Τούρκοι.

MONASTERY MAKELLARIAS

On the right bank of the river Selinunte and just 30 km from the town of Kalavryta stands the Monastery of Makellaria which is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. Built by General Belisarios of King Justinian at 532 AC., As shown by the inscription that survives until today to redeem themselves from the massacre during the famous REVOLUTION OF NIKA RIOTS

The original name of the monastery was Mary Lithostrotiotisa. The name bane comes from the carnage that took place in 1458 when it was destroyed by the Turks.

Thank you very much for your visit and fave !

The church being constructed in 1523 or 1453, the dates differing according to the different opinions of people, was in the valley of Mraconia in a very delighted and beautiful sight, at a very hidden place (Mraconia means a place being hidden). It is known that during the russian-austriac-turkish battle (1787-1792) it was destroyed. In 1823 there was found the ruins along with a slavic proverb being written upon: "Peceat Manastirea Lubostinie Hram Uspenia Presvistaia Bogaraditi Leto 1735."

In 1931 it started the reconstruction of the monastery, however, everything having been reconstructed was stopped in 1967 by the water of the Portile de Fier I. After this the monastery did not get the chance to be reconstructed again. It became the monastery under water, Mraconia. In the year of 1993 the new stone of the new church was put in there, too. From the old monastery however it is still kept the old gate and some other minor parts being exhibited in a museum, Eselnita Iin Romania on the Danube Gorges (DN57 Orșova-Moravița)

Looking forward for the next trip :)

... sind, wie ich schon bei der Außenansicht vermerkte, deutlich niedriger als das Mittelschiff.

Man kann einmal herum gehen und entdeckt dabei den Taufstein von 1592, römische Handwaschbecken (klar noch der Romanik zuzuordnen) in den Seitenwänden sowie Grabmäler längst verblichener Fürsten.

An der hinteren Wand des Schiffes erkennt man eine Platte - die sog. Memorienwand. Sie erinnert an die "Amelungsborner Väter".

Hi, my friends. I'm back home again. A lot of kilometers covered, a lot of locations visited.

Here is the Ferapontov Monastery I wanted to visit for a while.

From Wikipedia: The Ferapontov convent (Russian: Ферапонтов монастырь), in the Vologda region of Russia, is considered one of the purest examples of Russian medieval art, a reason given by UNESCO for its inscription on the World Heritage List.

Geghard Monastery (Ayrivank), Armenian Apostolic church. The monastery complex was founded in the 4th century by Gregory the Illuminator at the site of a sacred spring inside a cave. The monastery had thus been originally named Ayrivank, meaning "the Monastery of the Cave". The name commonly used for the monastery today, Geghard, or more fully Geghardavank, meaning "the Monastery of the Spear", originates from the spear which had wounded Jesus at the Crucifixion, allegedly brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, called here Thaddeus, and stored amongst many other relics. Now it is displayed in the Echmiadzin treasury.
