 | | Suddenly one of the horses stumbled and its rider fell off and an apparition appeared to the fallen rider, who claimed to be Prince Danill Moskovsky himself, and chided the ruler of Rus for neglecting his grave and the monastery he founded. |
 | | The interior of the cathedral is home to the old Vladimirskaya Icon of the Mother of God, which features original portraits of Ivan the Terrible, his son Ivan, and Makarii, the then Metropolitan of Moscow. |
 | | The monastery was home not only to monks, but the refuge of many laymen, including the writer Gogol, the musician Rubinshtein and the philosophers Samarin and Khomyakov, founders of the 19th century Slavophile movement, all of whom were buried in the monastery's cemetery. |
