Russian culture is inextricably linked to the country’s main religion – Orthodox Christianity. Understandably, any itinerary will lead you to the door of an Orhodox church or a monastery at least once.
The shrines of Moscow and the Moscow region participated in the formation of the history and development of the state and the Russian Orthodox Church. These holy places revered by pilgrims are replete with divine frescoes, cherished icons, sources of healing water, sacred relics and tombs; they attract thousands of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world who come for different reasons but all invariably sense here the power of pure faith.
