This album 'Heavenly Dwellings' comprises stories and images of fifty eight monasteries located in the very heart of Russia - around Moscow, along the route of the Golden Ring and to the North of Moscow (the so called Northern Thebaid).
It is a distinctive illustrated chronicle of Russian history, which has always been indissolubly connected with the life of the Orthodox Church. Enjoy around nine hundred photographs of the ancient Orthodox establishments, including unique bird's eye views of monasteries, interiors of churches, their sacred contents, venerated icons and cathedral frescoes.
Read the text for each of the fifty eight entries, telling the story of the place, the life and labours of its founders and learn about the historic and cultural significance of the monasteries.
This album is designed for those who take an interest in Russian culture, architecture, the history of Russian Orthodoxy and contemporary monastic life.
