Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius in Sergiyev Posad, Russia - Town of The Golden Ring
This video is a compilation of clips from a day trip we took to Sergiyev Posad, the closest town to Moscow of the Golden Ring in Russia - this monastery is about a 1 hour train ride from Moscow Yaroslavskiy station, about 75km (45 miles) to the northeast.
Russia's Golden Ring is a ring of towns/cities outside of Moscow which all played a very important role in the formation of the Russian Orthodox Church - all of these towns have great monasteries, cathedrals and other historical sites dating from as far back as the 12th century!
Sergiyev Posad, known as Zagorsk in the Soviet period, is nowadays an industrial town of around 100,000 inhabitants - tourists flock here, however, for the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, a monastery complex which was started in 1337 by Sergius of Radonezh.
Major sites at the monastery include the Cathedral of the Assumption, which was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1559, with a major burial site right outside of the cathedral housing the tombs of the Godunov family, including Boris who was the leader of Russia at the end of the 16th century. His reign saw Russia descend into the Time of Troubles, the precursor to the 300 year Romanov dynasty and perhaps the single biggest reason for it occurring.
The monastery is small but a nice half-day trip from Moscow - check it out if you can. Hope you enjoy the video!
