Greetings!
I haven't been here for a while. 
There was a reason for that.
I've been living at the monastery for a week. In Nikolo-Perervinsky monastery in Moscow. It was a very interesting experience. It was the first time it happened to me.

It is a quiet island of grace in a bustling city. The place is very beautiful. And such a reflection right at the exit of the building in which I lived. The temple is reflected in the water from the melted snow...

A great benefit for me in Lent. 

And when the bells are ringing - it's so beautiful!
And Nikolo-Perervinsky monastery itself is ancient and has its own complicated history.

They also read a prayer for peace every night on their knees there...

Goodness and peace to you all, friends!
