Still blazing of Glory

Still blazing of Glory

The glorious white stone Transfiguration Church was built in the second half of the 16th century as a part of royal estate by order of Ivan the Terrible in commemoration a withdrawal of armies of khan Muhamed-Gireja.

Tent-roof churches began to be seen at the end of the 15th century and were widespread in the 16th and 17th centuries, but construction of tent-like churches (of which Saint Basil's Cathedral is a prime example) was strictly forbidden by Patriarch Nikon, who was famous with his reforms in Russian Orthodox Church in the middle of 17th century, in an attempt to bring the Rus church closer to the Byzantine models. It was Patriarch Nikon, who built the famous New Jerusalem in Istra.

We are two couples who had just completed an educational tour from St Petersburg to Moscow (lectues daily, etc,).

We arranged for Arthur to guide us for three days after the tour in order to drive us to some of the WW-II battle areas outside of Moscow. Also, to see some sights of Moscow which are not on the regular tourist agenda. Arthur did a wonderful job of showing us the kinds of places we wanted to see and of adding to our insights of Russia and the Russian people. He also took us to the airport on the fourth day and made sure we were correctly on our way to catch ou flight.
We would highly recommend him to anyone needing a personal driver/guide in the Moscow area!!!
