It's a beautiful and holy North...
Once again, we are convinced that in our motherland there is something to see, there is where to take your soul away! Yes, this post is in no way aimed at advertising or PR. In any case, the moderators have the last word.
So, during our journey through the holy places of the North-Western Territory, we had a wonderful time in several hollows of the holy spirit, such as the Alexander-Svirsky Monastery, the Tikhvin Monastery, Vvedeno-Oyatsky Convent. Of course, each monastery has its own special energy. Oyatsky was especially touching and it seemed that even in him there was something feminine, pure and bright, like the happy smile of a holy man.
In the Svir Monastery, I had the good fortune to venerate the holy relics of the revered saint. While walking around the monastery, we met friendly novices, we did not talk to them, we only waved to each other. The weather was exceptionally excellent.
I would also like to separately "advertise" a wonderful island - the city of Upper Mandrogi. This is such a tourist village with its craftsmen. We managed to visit the old village with the huts of the old century. As far as we understood, these are huts brought to us from the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions. Craftsmen work in them today. Of course it's impressive. The children were so shocked in general, they had never seen a spinning wheel, a forge, for them it was all new.
Also next to Mandrogy is a wonderful zoo-forest hospital, an ideal option for individual therapy. You come to the zoo, find yourself an animal - a partner, and tell him all the ins and outs, he will understand, listen and probably give good advice!
Karelian nature pleases with its autumn colors. Very beautiful!! !
