Monastery architecture - a photo on Flickriver

            The architecture of the New Jerusalem Monastery in the city of Istra, Moscow Region.
The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 in the Moscow Region by Patriarch Nikon. According to his plan, the monastery was to become the center of the Orthodox world. The topography, toponymy, church buildings of the monastery and the surrounding territory, stretching for several tens of kilometers, created the image of the Holy Land and reproduced the main Christian shrines of Palestine. On a hill located in the center of this territory, called Zion, a monastery was founded - a kind of temple city. Some buildings of the monastery complex repeat the outlines of the constructions of the Holy Land, and the main cathedral of the monastery, consecrated in 1685, was built in the likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The cathedral reproduces the sacred images of Mount Calvary, the cave of the Holy Sepulcher, the three-day burial place and the Life-Giving Resurrection of the Savior. The towers also have symbolic names: Entrance Jerusalem, Gethsemane, etc. Across the land of Russian Palestine flows the fast winding Istra River, known as Jordan; stream flowing around the monastery hill - Kedronsky stream.
