Dome in the arch

            The view from the window of the bell tower on the dome of the temple, on the village of Svetlitsa and on Lake Seliger..The dome of the Epiphany Cathedral on the territory of the Nilo-Stolobensky Pustyn. .Today it is the most restored temple of the monastery. It is here that the whole monastic liturgical rite is performed. In the Epiphany Cathedral is the main shrine of the monastery - the holy relics of our Rev. Nil Stolobensky..All the time the existence of the village the main social and economic role in her life was played by the monastery. The main building of the village began in the second half of the XIX century. In the 1920s, the monastery was closed, and in its buildings there was located first a special school, then a colony for juvenile delinquents. On the eve of World War II, the monastery held Polish prisoners of war after the Polish Red Army march. During the war, military hospitals were located in the monastery. After the war, a colony for minors was again organized in the monastery, then in 1960-1970 a nursing home and disabled. Since 1971, a tourist base has been located in the monastery. All this time in the village, as a rule, lived the staff of the above institutions..Tourists often call Seliger a “blue necklace.” Seliger is not one lake. This is a chain of natural reservoirs that appeared on the territory of modern Novgorod and Tver regions after the Ice Age. The name of the water system has Finno-Ugric roots, and some lakes received purely Russian names. “Blue Necklace” is loved for the opportunity to spend holidays on a beautiful nature. There are no major roads around the lakes. Rest in these places is a dream of residents of large cities, tired of the daily crowds, dust and crowded streets. On the many islands and along the shores of Seliger, many untouched places have survived, inhabited by elks, badgers, raccoons, martens, hares, squirrel foxes and wild boars. In the channels and lakes there was shelter for beavers and dozens of species of waterfowl.
