Andrei Rublev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Andrei Rublev probably lived in the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra under Nikon of Radonezh, who became hegumen after the death of Sergii Radonezhsky ( 1392). Chronicles tell us that in 1408 he painted (together with Daniil Cherni) the Cathedral of the Assumption in Vladimir and in 1425 – 1427 the Cathedral of St. Trinity in the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra. The first mention about Rublev’s iconography was in 1405 when he decorated icons and frescos for the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Moscow Kremlin in company with Feofan Grek and Prokhor of Gorodets. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Andrey_Rublev

Encyclopedia: Sophia Alekseyevna In the fall of 1682, the government of Sophia Alekseyevna had to move to Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra, because the uprising had gotten out of hand. She practically became the head of the government with support from Vasily Golitsyn, F.Shalkovitiy and others. Its leaders had been conspiring to eliminate all of the royalty, boyars, and nobility and make Knyaz Ivan Khovansky ruler of Russia. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Sophia-Alekseyevna

Russian Museums Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra (Sergy’s Trinity Monastery) in Sergiev Posad near Moscow is the religious orthodox center of Russia and a landmark of the Old Russian architecture. Russian religious philosopher Paul Florensky wrote: "The Lavra is an artistic portrait of Russia in her whole, in comparison to which any other place is nothing more than a photo Here one gets not only aesthetic impressions, but also the feeling of history and sensation of the national soul". It was based by the monk Sergy of Radonezh in the 30-40s of the XIV century. www.meetingland.com /articles/personals/russia/russian-museum.htm

The Religious Landscape One of the most elaborate and beautiful, located 75 kilometers north and east of Moscow, is the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra at Sergiyevo Pasad, known as Zagorsk during the Soviet era.

The monastery was founded in 1345 and is one of the few fortresses that was not destroyed by invading armies. www.brooksgreen.net /Russia1994/Russia4.htm

Don't Miss a Trip To Sergiyev Posad On a one-day road trip to Sergiyev Posad I would recommend that you see the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra. Lavra in Russian means the highest rank of monastery, and this one was once the headquarters of the Russian Orthodox Church before it was moved several years ago to the Svyato-Danilov Monastery in Moscow. Based on my personal experience, the most interesting area in the Moscow region is to the northeast -- in the direction of Sergiyev Posad, an early 17th century town about 54 kilometers from Moscow on Yaroslavskoye shosse. www.moscowtimes.ru /stories/1997/08/02/051.html

Sergii Radonezhsky In the deep forest at Makovets hill (where the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra is now located) they decided to build a small cell and a church dedicated in honor of the Trinity.

He persuaded Stefan to find a more secluded place. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/s/se/sergii_radonezhsky.html

BBC NEWS Europe European press review The heavyweight broadsheet Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports that members of the Orthodox and Muslim communities are in dispute over the planned construction of a mosque in Sergiyev Posad, a town not far from Moscow, and home to the Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra, one of the country's most famous monasteries and an important focus for Orthodox worship. As the paper explains, a number of Orthodox organizations have been campaigning against the building of the new mosque, given just how close it would be to the monastery, a place to which they attach particular importance. Meanwhile, a damaging conflict is brewing between representatives of the two dominant forces in Russia's complex religious mix. news.bbc.co.uk /2/low/europe/2351897.stm

As Confessor of Svyato-Troitskaya Sergiyeva Laura Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov) noted with justice and precision, "By accepting INN a person is incorporated into the system of evil"...
